After the luncheon, the second group of pledges was initiated and the officers installed. Brothers from all chapters went their separate ways to pick up the dates the Kappa Dudes had arranged for them. Surprising to even ourselves was the number of beautiful Georgia Peaches harvested by the Georgia Fijis at the last minute. At the banquet and dance the new brothers saw the true meaning of brotherhood, Fiji-style.

True to this goal, the chapter skyrocketed from a humble 76.1 average and 15th kept secret from the brothers of the fraternity in order to maintain Fiji tradi tion. As it stands to date, a pledge project has not been selected, but it is hoped that a project can be agreed on in the very near future. Many brothers have commended the pledges on the excellent work they have been perform ing around the house. Since the Epsilon place in scholarship for Fall quarter to an 81.2 average and a 2nd place for Winter quarter. Having been 2nd place for three of the five quarters of the colony's ex istence, the biggest goal to this date has eluded the chapter's grasp. Through the colony days and now as a chapter the pledge class will probably be around during he summer, it is hoped that its members can take a trip together some time this summer. The members of the Epsilon pledge class are striving to make themselves the best pledge class yet at Kappa Deuteron. brothers Banner Lee Mahood Speaks at Installation hy Christy Elaine In the president's message of the April edition of the "Phi Gamma Del ta", Danner Lee Mahood stated, "there is something refreshing in the attitudes of our colonies and newly chartered chapters" . . . They are interested in knowing everything about their frater nity, they work hard under severe handi caps, and they seek means by which ARCHON PRESIDENT DANNER LEE MAHOOD F I J I U G A they can be of service to their univer your cohorts for the first time who to gether with yourself have taken upon the bewildering responsibility of found ing members of a new chapter. It is even stranger to feel brotherhood evolve and solidify as plans are formulated, and problems are encountered communtively solved. and It is even more thrilling to take the first step in our house, to share the first meal, to be rewarded by the first successful rush, to gaze upon our flag, to touch our own charter, and to cherish all of that which means so much. To have the satisfaction of achieving a goal set by personal commitment some time ago, is more than surpassed by the ef forts — efforts that were only possible by united faith in a desire for achiev ing, through dedication by the brother hood, a single goal — to build the best chapter in the best fraternity. And it is surely no wonder that the radiance of our Delta .star is admired and that our clasp is firm and sure. We are proud of our members, our chapter, and our fraternity. Each of enthusiastically invites you. our Brothers, to visit the newest chapter in Phi Gamma Delta. have watched Farmhouse Fraternity walk off with top honors for five consecutive quarters. To alter this one sided affair Kappa Deuron has set its sights on the number one spot and to obtain it has completely revamped its scholarship program. The new pro gram will consist of incentives and coun seling. Acting Dean of Students O. Suthern Simms. a graduate brother of the chapter, will use his educational ex perience to counsel any brother who is having academic difficulties. This coupled with incentives such as a scholar.ship banquet and individual honors will be used to help the brothers achieve good scholarship. No matter how good the program for scholarship is, it is necessary to have the brothers with the ability to obtain good scholarship. The placing of the chapter in second place for Fall quar ter can be attributed to many factors .such as the fine Winter pledge class, or the great improvement of the broth ers; but a large portion of this success sities." We do not dispute these remarks for we know how very true they are.

His academic efforts won for him the honor of being selected to membership in Phi Beta Kappa, and for the chapter a great deal of pride. With a good bit of determination and the quality of men such as Mike, the chapter plans to be in the number one position come June. McDonald FIJI'S FIRST LADY Photographers: T. G.

He replied. "Well, nothing except that everybody's heard of their nation al reputation and is afraid they're go ing to take over everything." At that time there were few people who were actually afraid of the Delta Colony, but one year and a lot of ex perience has shown that Phi Gamma Delta is here to stay at the University of Georgia. One now sees the Kappa Deuteron Chapter, a chapter that has placed second scholastically three of its five quarters at the University, a chap ter that recently won first place in the President's Intramural League in basketball, and a chapter that has placed members in many extracurricular activities and honorary positions includ Achievements like these prompted Field Secretary Ronald I. Enna to com ment beneficially in his staff visitation report on "Kappa Deuteron's smooth and quick penetration into Georgia's old and tough fraternity system." He continued that "the 'past Colony' was seemingly the most developed and ready of the six colonies chartered into Phi Gamma Delta during the past year." This is the state of affairs which greets this recently-elected president. Hard work has produced this impres sive record, but we can do better. To do better, the Chapter is going to need more men of high quality, and Kappa Deuteron will realize such men both in formal and informal rush during the fall quarter. However, the Chapter needs to know about men of this high quality before the other twenty-five fraternities on this campus in order to begin selling Phi Gamma Delta now. ing student senate, Biftad, and Who's Who in American Colleges and Univer For that reason, we are asking you to sities. provided elsewhere in this newsletter. send us recommendations in the space You graduate members of Phi Gamma Delta are the target of this newsletter.
