Thanks to tremendous graduate response and a lot of hard work from the brothers, we began rush iW&^over one hundred names. We feel that our fifteen pledges are among the finest men on the UNC campus, and we are proud to allow them to be a part of our strong tradition. Included in the group are four junior transfers, two sophomores, and nine freshmen. 1. Prescott Busch Spigner III - Kinston 2. Paul Whitfield Sylvester - Charlotte 3. David Coale Anderson - Winston Salem 4. Leon Ward Sylvester III - Richlands 9. Christopher Hawes Collier - Kinston 10. Adam Carr Team - Lexington 11. William Patrick Mayo,Jr. - Washington 12. David Brooks Moye,Jr. - Raleigh 5. Richard Austin Russell - Raleigh 13. David Paul Gwyn - Winston-Sdem 6. John McCaUister Cox - Goldsboro 14. Paul WaddeU Collins - Asheville 7. Bryan Cromwell Peimington - Raleigh 15. William Adams Smith III - Raleigh 8. Durwood Robinson Steid - Raleigh After a dry spring rush in 1983, we managed to get two additional pledges in the Spring of 1984. 1. Phillip Lloyd 2. Adam Jones We feel that the addition of Phil and Adam make this our best rush in years. As for the summer of 1984, we have planned a party for July 28 at Brandywine Bay in Morehead City. We are hoping for another banner msh, and we greatly appreciate the help received from our alumni in 1983 as far as rush is concerned. Bradley Herring Jim Earnhardt Rush Chairmen \r\nPresident's Report The 1983-84 school year has been a good one for Epsilon. The Fail semester began with a bang, as Epsilon pledged 15 outstanding men -- 4 juniors, 2 sophomores, and 9 freshmen. We followed that with two more spring pledges, bringing our total for the year to seventeen. The successful rush seemed to bring an added sense of unity around the house, as chapter tone is very positive. Financially, Epsilon is very sound but the upcoming Fiji Island should certainly dent our current balance. We current ly have 47 bill paying members, but we will return 40 brothers in the Fall. Another good rush would have the chapter in the best shape numerically, and thus financially, in some time. The recently held Norris Pig Dinner was successful, as 85 brothers made their way over to the Carolina Inn for the Treasurer's Report Due to the support of the alumni, brotherhood, and parents, the undergraduate chapter here at Epsilon is in a very good financial position. With the new year, the overall house bill rose only slightly with respect to inflation. Rent was increased to $300.00 per semester from $280.00 but this is still much lower than all dorms and apartments here at North Carolina. A strong pledge class of 17 brought the number of members paying dues up to 46 which has helped keep prices down. The cabinet is presently working on a plan in which house bills will be able to be paid in full at the beginning of the semester with a small discount. One final bill at the end of festivities. Brother Mike Easley was a most entertaining the year would be sent home to cover all assessments during the year. Once again, thanks to all brothers, parents and the speaker. We've heard complaints that a number of you did alumni. not receive invitations, but the reason is that we do not have John Lowe your updated address. Ask any brother who did not receive such an invitation to send their address to the house and the Treasurer problem will be taken care of. I look forward to seeing all of you in the Fall with the coming football season, one that we all hope will be successful. Again, please respond to our request for potential rushees, as your help is essential. Jim Lilley Chapter President iEpBtUtn (Puil This newsletter is published by Epsilon Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta for the alumni and the brotherhood. Editor: Scott Johnson Graduate brother contributions and dues are necessary to sustain it and are sincerely appreciated. For this reason, Epsilon urges its graduate brothers to aid the finances of their fraternity. At this time, graduate brother news for this letter is also needed. Any such items are encouraged to be submitted to the editor. This includes graduate brother news, rush recommendations, address changes, and anything else of interest to the fraternity. \r\nFrom The Norris Pig Dinner House Corporation Pig Dinner weekend was held on March 30 and 31. On Fri day night, there was a cocktail party which was given in honor of all returning graduates. Pig Dinner was held the following night at the Carolina Inn. Over eighty-five graduates attend ed, making the dinner a big success. Brother Michael Easley, '72, was the guest speaker. He gave a very entertaining and humorous speech which told the audience to "look to the lighter side of life and find humor in it.'' He used many fun ny examples from his experiences as District Attorney in Treasurer's Report Thanks to 212 graduate brothers, Epsilon is now in a much better financial position than we were two years ago. We are going to have to re-roof the house and buy a new hot water heater, but thanks to you, we hopefully have the money to do this. Bladen, Brunswick, and Columbus Counties. Sincerely, I wish to personally thank each of the brothers who supported the House last year (see the final list printed elsewhere in this Bob Winston issue). This list is based on actual cash received. We received a record $20,855 in cash and we still have another $940.00 outstanding in pledges from eight brothers. We cannot rest on our laurels, however. Each year, we face a higher operation budget. We need money to maintain the excellent traditions of the past and to encourage new ideas and programs for the future. Please help us this year by send ing in your check for at least $25.00. So far, we have already received over $1,000 since my letter went out a week ago. Our goal this year is $7,500.00. Help us get there. A lot of brothers have asked what we spent the money on last year. Here is a breakdown. Interest Property taxes Insurance Repairs & Maintenance $3,395.00 4,439.00 4,132.00 1,390.00 Alumni mailings Alumni support 611.00 681.00 Furniture and house additions 12,466.00 The above figures are fiscal '82 - '83 expenditures. In '81 - 82, we spent $17,624. The $20,855 that we raised actually covered both of those years since the fundraising drive started in December '81. ■'KISSING OF THE PIG" Thanks again to all of those that contributed. If you didn't contribute, please do so this year. WE NEED YOUR HELP! Fraternally, Charles W. Holderness Treasurer House Corporation Thanks To Brother Carter The Brothers of Epsilon would like to send a big "thank you" to Brother Rusty Carter of Tabor City. Brother Carter sacrificies much time and money each year by printing the Epsilon Owl for the undergraduates free of charge. He does a fantastic job of taking the anicles we give him and turning them into a newsletter that can be appreciated by all of the graduate brothers. These efforts show a great deal of purpleness, and all of us at Vance Hall are very grateful. \r\n''It took a lot ofpractice to get to the top''. Intramurals - Fiji's Win Basketball Crown Phi Gamma teams are dominating the Spring Intramural season. The Fiji Gold basketball team set school records as they rolled a 12-0 season and won the championship. The team was loaded with talent, with seniors Curtis Hathaway, Edward Bogles,John Kerr, and Julian Williamson leading the way.Jim Lilley and John "Sidney'' Lowe also played big roles in their march to the top. After winning all five regular season games, Fiji Gold entered the tournament with the championship in mind. There were over ICQ teams in the tourney, yet our team went 7-0 in the post-season, winning every game by at least 12 points. The Fiji softball team is also off to a great start as usual. Despite numerous cancellations due to rain, the team is now 1-1 and has an excellent chance of making the playoffs. Under the leadership of slugger Skip Hill and ace pitcher Julian Williamson, the team has an excellent shot at the finals. Social Report spring has been a very sociahs^Json this year at Vance Hall. Upon returning to school, we Kid mixers with the Chi O's, KD's, and ADP's. In Febmary,''"vc had an ice skating mixer with the Tri Belt's and Zete'sSiiiich was a big success. We have had three great parties this semester; a Valentine's Day cocktail witHt]ti*4ete's, Pig Dinner cocktail, and another combined effort wil#ihe Phi Belt's. High atten dance and beautiful dates ha*c liiiipn prevalent at all three of these functions. 4-^ Fiji Island weekend turned out to be one of the best ever, due to the hard work of thei liji»others and the bands we selected. Friday night, a group rocked the house with a mix ture of fiink and rock-n-roll. Sskturday's band, the Cruise-omatics, was even beter. They played many old rock songs which made everyone forget their hangovers from the night before. We have also planned several events to wind up the year. These events include a cookout with our Little Sisters and a blowout in the back yard. Edward Bogles Social Chairman Thanks To Brother Woody The Brothers of Epsilon would like to extend our sincerest thanks to Brother Dan Woody. He loaned us his chainsaws and other equipment which came in han dy in setting up Fiji Isle, which was a tremendous sue- \r\nHouse Manager's Report As in the past, this year Vance Hall has been in need of many repairs to maintain its good condition. Through the work of the Brothers and the pledges, we have taken care of any needed repairs. The foyer and T.V. room are in excellent condition thanks to the fall pledge class who painted both rooms during The Pilgrimage. The pledges also built a much needed bench for the front yard. But although the brotherhood has no shortage of projects or willing hands, our abilities and funds are not able to meet many of the physical needs of the house. With the help of the House Corporation, Vance Hall has undergone major improvements and more are planned in the future. One such improvement was getting the heating system in working condition after several years of deficient operation. Future improvements include repairing the porch in front of the President's room, which for several years has been deteriorating badly. The quarry tile and iron rail will be replaced. The roof is also scheduled to undergo repairs, pro bably during the summer months. Renovations such as these are possible only because of the generosity of the graduate brothers. Many thanks go to B.T. Harrington for doing a fine job keeping the house in top shape. With the future help of B.T., the undergraduate and graduate brothers, and the House Corporation, we can continue to be proud of our reputation of having the nicest house on campus.
