President's Message
So far in the 1990-1991 year,the Gamma Tau Chapter has
shown that it is stronger than ever with many
accomplishments resultingfrom its"Questfor Excellence."
While excellence has always abounded at Gamma Tau,the
number of our current achievements have made this year
more gratifying than past. For as our current number one
standing among fraternities over the last two quarters in
Academics and Athletics and our winning the 1990
Homecoming competition have shown, we are doing
something right at Gamma Tau.
Our current success is a direct result of an aggressive and
active Board of Chapter Advisors. These graduates have
given us hours of their important time in order to help us
Doug Taylor '89, Joe Baumgartner '68, Pele Weilnnd '88
meet our goals. They have provided us with aid in
organization, active participation in Rush, accounting
expertise, and they partied with us one Friday evening at
a graduate Cookout.For all this we can only say thanks for
proving that "Phi Gamma Delta is not for college days
alone."
We are also very fortunate to be living in the best house
on campus. This is attributed to our House Corporation
who has spent tens of thousands of dollars on renovations
and improvements in the past two years. They have also
recently begun an aggressive fundraising campaign for our
house addition which will provide the Chapter with a much
neededChapterroom,meetingroom,library,and computing
facilities.This will propel Gamma Tau into the 21st Century
as the number one fraternity on Georgia Tech's campus.
We undergraduates continue to look to our graduates for
the support,advice and new ideas thatkeep us ahead ofthe
competition. With Georgia Tech being thrust into the
national spotlight with a National Championship in football
and its being the home of the 1996 Olympic Village, Phi
Gamma Delta's influence and importance both on campus
and with our graduates will dramatically grow.To prepare
for this growth,we are asking you to consider devoting one
day a month to joining our EGA and House Corp. and
become actively involved with our chapter. For those of you
unable to do this, we ask you to plan on attending our 1991
Pig Dinner on April 20, 1991. For as those graduates who
attended last year's Pig Dinner can attest, Gamma Tau is
becoming bigger and better every year, and Pig Dinner is
certainly an event that makes everyone "Mighty Proud to
be a Fiji."
Karl Meihofer
President
BCA Message
The BCA meets approximately once per month with the
cabinet and other interested brothers. We work directly
with the cabinet and committee chairmen, giving advice,
making recommendations and helping plan chapter events
as needed. Occasionally we may get actively involved if we
can fill a specific need. Most recently we have been closely
involved with the House Corporation in arranging for some
much needed repairs and renovations to the House.
We try to make our meetings enjoyable as well as
informative.LastNovember the chapter hosted a barbecue
one Friday evening for the BCA which was well attended by
both actives and graduates.
There are several projects in which we will be assisting
the chapter, including the Pig Dinner and the proposed
House expansion. It will not be long before we will be
greeting a new cabinet and begin working with them to
plan for the next year. Any graduate brother who is
interested injoining the BCA is welcome.Our meetings are
held at the House, usually on a Tuesday night early in the
month. If you want more information or need to know the
time of the next meeting, please call me at 377-6021.

Fiji Cookout
On November 2, 1990, Creighton-Vail Hall was pleased to
have many ofits graduate brothersreturn for a night offun,
food, and fellowship. The evening began with a cookout
followed by stories ofhow it used to be as a Fiji and also how
different the campus was. We had an excellent turnout
with about a dozen graduates from the Atlanta area and

The evening was a great opportunity for us to show off the

very soon. We always enjoy seeing our graduate brothers in
an informal setting and we certainly hope to see all of you
at Pig Dinner.

Spotlight
It is my pleasure to have been invited to write this article.
While I have spent much of my career in education,I have
had all too few opportunities to be involved with my alma
mater and Gamma Tau.My last visit to Georgia Tech came
at the time of the Institute's 100th birthday, when I was
fortunate enough to serve as an invited speaker for the civil
engineering department. At that time I spoke about the
future I foresaw for my chosen field.Perhaps it is appropriate
that atthis time that I look to the past. Only this lastspring
1 was asked to speak atthe Pig Dinner of Rho Alpha,the Fiji
chapter at my present school, Virginia Tech. As I was
quickly reminded, the oldest Fiji at the Dinner has to kiss
peers, I managed to go on to get a Ph.D. at Berkeley, and
have since fooled enough people to have taught at Duke,
Stanford and now Virginia Tech.After many years oftrying
to pass off my talents as a faculty member,1 was recently
selected as Dean ofthe College of Engineering. In this job,
I find that the things that I learned about sociability and
communications during my time in Gamma Tau are more
important than much of my technical background. I wish
Gamma Tau and its present residents well. I hope that in
the future 1 will be able to visit with you to give you my
personal regards.

cast of characters who made up the chapter made a
deciding factor in bringing the Olympics to Atlanta. Unlike

there is something lacking in their football programs. Ask
yourself if it was necessary for their wide receiver to run

addition to the fraternity house will provide much needed
quiet, study space for the undergraduate chapter. It will
also provide room that can be used for other educational,
social service and philanthropic activities ofthe fraternity.
This will not happen without the substantive support of all
Gamma Tau graduates.

need to raise another $250,000 in graduate donations to

Championships rather than one that builds up a player's
character.
Georgia Tech is once again becoming a great college
football powerhouse and it is important that they do it in a
way that can make all of its alumni and students proud.
Bobby Ross is doing a great job in creating a very strong
football program without giving up the ideals that make
college athletics great.This is witnessed after every big win
at Bobby Dobb Stadium when the players gather in front of
the studentsection and join in the singing of our fight song.
The players share their success and are unselfish with
their talents. After all, they are part of the Georgia Tech
program. And it is great to see William Bell, after making
an incredible touchdown run, kneel in prayer and wait for
his teammates to come and surround him. It takes a lot of
class for quarterback Shawn Jones to give all the credit to
the offensive line after being named Most Valuable Player
at the Citrus Bowl.Bobby Ross truly deserves tremendous
creditfor making us a winner,butI'm sure he would be the
first to admitthatthere is a lot more to college football than
winning football games. The greatest achievement Coach
Ross can ever accomplish is something he has already done,
make Tech a winner in more ways than one.
