I!J 1 m 10 F8AYES?KS _ Buckeye Fiji INTEIINATIONAL Omicron Deuteron Chapter of Phi Gamma I at The Ohio State University Columbus, Ohio June 1992 Chapter Goals The Michael S.Rrzykoski Memorial Fund Established And The Michael S. Rrzykoski Memorial Fund was once filled with money Michael's parents had donated to the chapter after his untimely death in 1984. The scholarship was in memory of his ideals, persistence and commitment to the brotherhood. The award is now presented each year on Parents' Weekend to the undergraduate brother who has contributed the most to the chapter while holding a job to help defray the costs of his education. Over the years this fund has been depleted. Our goal is to replenish the principal so that the scholarship may live on. In order to add funds, we need your contributions. Our goal is to reach $10,000 so that only the accumulated interest will be used for the scholarship. Please be generous; you can make checks payable to the "Fiji Memorial Scholarship Fund" and mail to P.O. Box 10169, Columbus, OH 43201. Thank you for your support! Pursued SuceessfuQy By David M. Simon '92 Chapter President The 1992 year began with an enlightening cabinet retreat where a Ust of chapter goals was established.During winter quar ter, these goals were pursued quite suc cessfully. Our most important goal was to have a strong winter rush program. Steve Mishkind'93,our never-tiring rush chair man, deserves much of the credit for our successful performance. He helped us reach our goal of whole-house participa tion,which wasenthusiastically embraced and achieved. This year we are also strengthening our already strong emphasis on scholar ship. Robert Brauer '93 serves as our scholarship chairman. A major feature of the program is the quarterly newsletter, which emphasizes chapter policies and activities concerning scholarship. As for the social aspect ofPhi Gamma Delta, we are well adapted to the alcohol policies which we adopted two years ago. The rest of the Greek system must now leam to do likewise. Phi Gams are always ahead of the game. We will continue to accomplish our goals and strive to keep Phi Gamma Delta a strong fraternity at Ohio State. As al ways, we welcome you back to Dickenson Lodge to meetthe undergraduate chapter. Undergraduates (l-r) David Simon '92. Chip Null '93, Matt Kear '93.
