Alumni Weekend
A Success
Alumni Weekend, June 7-9, brought
back several graduate brothers to remi
nisce about the past, celebrate the pre
sent, and plan for the future.
Brothers of the class of 1966 celebrat
ed their 25th reunion at the Gam with
their wives. A good portion of the class of
1971 came back for their 20th reunion as
well as brothers from the classes of 1981,
1956, and 1946. Some of the graduate
brothers who attended are the following:
Carl Parker '53, Kurt fvlahrdt '56, Bill
f^cMurry '56, Bill Taylor '56, Bruce Parker
'56, Bill Gilbert '66, Terry Etter '66, Wayne
fyfartin '71, Robert Bisch '80, Joe Atria
'81, Bob Farris 81, and Time^'Piehle '86.
Lambda Corporation President Joe
Carney '50 was present at the house to
greet the graduate brothers in addition to
Chapter President Scott Richards '92,
Treasurer Conrad Almase '92, and
Recording Secretary Steve Acken '92.
TOGETHER AGAIN —

A special thanks goes out to Bob
Shaykin '71 who donated to Lambda
Chapter black and white photos of the old
chapter house when it was condemned.
Everyone enjoyed the nostalgia of the
photos, many of which are now displayed

in the parlor room on the first floor of the
current chapter house.
Overall, the turnout was a success,
and next year's Alumni Weekend, June 5-
7, hopes to be even better. All graduate
brothers are invited to attend this funfilled weekend.

Fiji nets 17 pledges
Despite a depleted pool of freshman
men and a six weeks pre-Rush filled with
"dirty rushing," Lambda Chapter climbed
back into the competition for future frater
nity members by pledging 17 fine men.
Freshman male enrollment was down
once again this year with only 209 men
going through Rush compared to 232
men last year and 294 the year before.
The lower numbers were a reflection of
how many houses would fill quota — only
one house, Phi Kappa Psi, was fortunate
enough to achieve that goal. Still, Phi
Gamma Delta was considered the big
surprise this year because it pledged a
substantial number of rushees compared
to the other fraternities on campus in spite
of being one of the smallest houses.
"Fiji has only 35 living unit members,
but we were able to pledge 17 good
guys," Rush Chairman Steve Acken,
senior, explained. "Nearly all of the other
houses with living unit members in the
50's and 60's could only manage to
pledge the same amount of guys as we
did. So from this perspective, we are very
satisfied."

the pledges are Fiji legacies. One pledge
plays baseball for the DePauw Tigers,
another competes in the breaststroke
gram for science majors similar to the
Mofo program for business majors. Steve

three more play lacrosse for DePauw
Lacrosse Club. There are three Manage
ment Fellow (Mofo) students and one Sci
ence Research Fellow. The average SAT
(Scholastic Aptitude Test) score of the
pledge class is 1170. Here's a closer look
at the pledge class of 1995 in alphabetical
order.
Mark Barrett comes from Lancaster,
Ohio. Mark is an avid trumpet player with
plans to major in English. After introduc
ing his parents to senior John Fulkerson's
parents at Parents' Weekend, Mark was
surprised to learn that he is a distant
cousin of Brother Fulkerson.
Tim Birtwhistle, a resident of Indi
anapolis, Indiana, is happy to call
Hoosierland his home. Tim, who plans to
major in Biology, was a member of the allstate orchestra and is currently a member
of the DePauw Jazz Band.
Matt Durham, a high school product of
Gincinatti, Ohio, is one of the leading offi
cers for Habitat for Humanity. Matt plans
to major in Biology.
Zach George of Lafayette, Indiana, is
one of the three pledges who are Man
agement Fellows (Mofo), an honorary
program for business majors. Zach was a
varsity athlete in baseball and football
with plans to tryout for the DePauw varsi
ty baseball team in the spring.
Rob Harrison is also a Hoosier com
ing from Attica, Indiana. But he prefers to
participate in eastern sports by being an
active member of the DePauw Lacrosse
Club. Rob's talent for the game earned
him a spot on the starting roster this fall.
Cullen Howe is a former varsity soc

Jared is a member of the Earth Club.
Rob Mallik, whose hometown is cur

lacrosse skills from the east coast to start
for the DePauw Lacrosse Club after hav

Parents Weekend
Qn the weekend of Qctober 18-20,
parents of DePauw students flocked to
the university for the annual Parents'
Weekend. Since the special weekend
was planned for later in the fall than
usual, the pledges' parents had an oppor
tunity to spend a little time with their sons
at Fiji s cocktail party and cookout with
the neighboring Thetas and their parents.
This event provided an excellent chance
for all Fiji parents to see old Lambda
I
acquantainces and make new ones.
The weekend was organized by senior
Fiji Bob Stefanakos and sophomore
Theta Jennifer Wurster. While Fijis,
Thetas, and parents enjoyed cocktails
and conversation, Bob's father, Tom Ste
fanakos, had the grill fired-up and was
barbecuing enough chicken for over 250
guests. The general concensus among
the parents and their kids was that the
party was a complete success, even bet
ter than those of previous years.
Also, before the afternoon's festivities
got underway, the Stefanakos' headed up
a short parents' meeting to discuss some
of the concerns of the chapter that the

Brother Kendall has served both the

many important facets. Jack worked for

Brother Green, loyal to the company
since 1981, has already served Disney in
important roles. Serving as both the
senior vice president and the chief finan

Company, he had an opportunity to expe

sides of the entertainment business.
These positions, along with a lot of hard
work, helped pave the way for his most
recent promotion.
Assuredly, Brother Green's liberal arts
education and experience at DePauw and

President Bush's Daily Point of Light
program is designed to recognize organi

program. Since its birth in 1987, DCS has
grown considerably with the help of the
program's advising chaplain, Stuart Lord.
Just last year DCS volunteers devoted
over 153,000 hours of service. Currently,
between 425 and 450 DePauw students
spend an hour a week in one of thirteen
programs ranging from nursing home visi
tation, to student friend, to classroom
assistance.
Quite a few Fijis have been involved in
Chaplain's Office programs, DCS in par

Ed Simcox played a strong role in the
continuing growth of DCS as the presi

Steve Larmon also held a position on the
council as the student coordinator of the

The remainder of the year hopes to be

ARoom of Brotherh\pd
Question: What does Fiji have that no
other fraternity on campus has? AnswerA new Brotherhood room. The old cold
dorm has been remodeled to provide a
place for Gammers to relax, watch some
tube, shoot a game of pool, or just hang
out.
^
The thing that makes this room so spe
cial, though, is the fact that so many peo
ple pitched in to make the room a reality.
For example, the new carpet was pur
chased by all of the living unit members.
The painhng was directed by three broth
ers. seniors Rick Ness, Chris Hamilton
and Rob Klein. The paint itself, was
donated by Rick's father, Frank Ness.
The luxurious couches were purchased
by house corporation with the help of Kurt
Stucky 72, who drove all the way from
Syracuse, New York to deliver the couch
es to our front door. The pool table was
obtained last spring through funds from
the Brother's social budget.
Afeeling of brotherhood really exists in
this room. You can't help but feel it with
the old composites lining the walls. Plus,
THE BROTHERHOOD ROOM —
Senior Rick Ness moves to join senior Scott Richards in watching some television while
juniors George Patterson and Jason Surber share a game of pool.
a Phi Gamma Delta flag graces the wall
and really helps to remind all the brothers
and the pledges what the room is really
about: the feeling of brotherhood that epit
omizes Phi Gamma Delta.

Dear Graduate Brothers,
Bruce Menk '70.
As the 1991-92 academic year opened in August, Lambda faced cuts in many areas
of the chapter's usual expenditures. One of those areas was the Alumni Relations bud
get, which requires considerable funding in order to publish the Tiger Fiji. This revised
budget would allow us to publish only two issues this year as opposed to the seasonal
format of the past. But thanks to a group of interested graduate brothers, it iooks as if
Lambda will have the funds to put out a third issue in May.
The graduate group, spearheaded by William McGaughey '35, includes twelve other
Lambda graduates. These notable contributors of their efforts and funds include
Edgar Baum '35
Edwin Boswell '31
Ted Callis '30
Howard Castle '39
Glint Cox, Jr. '38
Robert Fribley '35
James Kelly '28

good for Picture Trivia, please submit
them to the chapter. The will be returned
as soon as possible.
