By far, the most success ful fund-raiser proved to be the FIJI-McDonald's coupon sale, arranged by P.R. chair man Bob Cheeley and Rick Jordan. Coupons for $1 worth of food at McDonald's were sold by the members of the chapter, with 500 of each dollar being donated by Mc D k I Donald's to the Leukemia Drive. This met with wide spread community support, and nearly $1,100 was raised in this manner during the one week V F Once HKH A"! fll h: BE l\i i ftK'l climax the drive the Brothers and Pledges of our chapter and Georgia Tech's ran the game balls fnom Athens to Atlanta the day of fde Tech-GA game.

Another new idea that met with good results was the Sorority Keg Competition, Sororities were rewarded for their support instead of just asking for donations, and over $800 after starting at 6:00 a.m. The balls were presented to Dooley and Rogers before the start of the game. HOMECOMING '77 was raised in this manner. The win- ning sororities of Theta and Alpha Chi Omega received kegs and a plaque for their efforts. (next col.) It may be a little late in the year to be talking about the 1977 Homecoming, but it's done in the hopes that more graduates will want to attend in 1978.

Plans for such rush events as a Casino Night, a Putt-Putt Tourna ment, an AOPi Luau-Social, and the annual Pizza and Beer Binge at the Village Inn Pizza Parlor were fina lized early in the summer months, thanks to the conscientious efforts of Steve Nail and Jim Kelly. So when this preparation and the ea gerness of the brothers met with the opportunity to establish a quality pledge class, the result was just that!
