After a dinner cookout of hotdogs and ham burgers, the "serious stuff" began. Brothers and pledges were divided into six equal groups; each group was led by a senior group leader. Each group was given a series of questions to deiiberate on, with one main question to be answered in front of the large group. After an hour, the entire group reassembled in the meeting room. One by one, the six groups, represented by a pledge spokesman, answered their main question. It was evident by the answers that all of the groups had experienced After a near first place finish last year. Phi Gamma Delta has once again jumped out to an excellent start In intramurals.

The main concern of the University and the Greek System was a change in the drinking age. With the drinking age raised to 20, alcohol has been taken out of many tradi tional parties. Fraternities have been having open parties, however, they have not been pro viding alcoholic beverages. In addition, socials have been changed to a "bring your own" event. Fraternities along with sororities have become more creative, and I assure you...we are still having fun! To review the year, I would say all in all I was extremely pleased with the Fraternity. As you can read in the Awards Section of this issue, there were not many titles we did not win this year. Socially, I feel like the fraternity is improv ing even more. With the addition of theme par ties and various rituals like Purple Up, etc. we enhanced things greatly. Rush, as you may know, was an overwhelming success. The most exciting part about all of this news is to understand why it happened. The reason we have achieved our goals is due to the unbelievable support from all of the brothers. During my administration, I could not have ask ed for better assistance than I had from under graduate brothers, graduates, and officers. Without this cooperation...nothing is possible. I would never want anyone to think their work was not appreciated or went unnoticed. Thank You. Last Spring at our Pig Dinner the House Cor poration President, Tom Watson, announced plans to move ahead aggressively to find new housing for our chapter. 1055 Prince Avenue served as well in the early days, and 3 Clover- hurst Court has, likewise, been a great home. But, we have outgrown this facility. To support the efforts of the House Corpora tion I agreed to initiate an annual fund drive. We have never established an annual request for contributions from graduates, and now is the time. To start our campaign seven brothers were recruited to make the initial contacts. These brothers. Bill Bass, Terry Sullivan, Sammy Smith, Randy Blackwood, Bob Cheeley, Keith Breedlove and Bill McKenzie, have now raised $4000 with pledges for another $36,000 to be given over five years. This money has been deposited in a special future housing account separate from the Housing Corporation Operating account. It is not to be spent except for new housing. Frank Hanna is administering this account. Soon after New Years each of you will receive a request to make a contribution to the housing fund. We will also ask you to make a five year commitment to contribute a regular sum. Our goal is to raise $250,000 in five years. We can reach our goal and more. We can do this because our graduates are loyal and able to find a place in their budget for Kappa Deutron. Remember that our undergraduate brothers pay $30 per year for future housing. They do this in addition to their other fraternity bills, and while they are basically without a regular income. Last summer I attended the Fiji Academy and watched as our undergraduate brothers receive the Cheney Cup. This is the sixth time we have brought this cup home. We are a first-class chapter, and we deserve a first-class home in Athens. Our graduates can be proud of what Finally, I would like to close out my term by saying that being an officer in Phi Gamma Delta was the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. I hope that others may enjoy the friend ships, experiences and general fun that go with it. they created. The undergraduates are continu ing our great tradition, and they need to see the graduates acknowledge their continuing hard work. Begin planning your contribution now. In Fraternally, January when our request arrives be prepared to respond. The campaign ends at the Pig Din Thomas R. Blando ner this Spring, and I want to announce that we have surpassed our goal. \r\nPAGE 3 FJJIUGA FALL 1985 Kappa Deuteron Wins Big Spring and summer marked two very impor tant dates for Phi Gamma Delta. Last spring, Phi Gamma Delta was awarded the Fraternity of the Year Trophy for another year of hard work and accomplishments on campus. With strong showings in the activities, community service, and International Fraternity sections of the AOPi report, Kappa Deuteron ran away with its eighth Fraternity of the Year Award in fifteen years. During August, Kappa Deuteron sent six brothers and its Purple Leglonaire to Ohio State University for the 19th FIJI Academy. Prelimi nary indications showed the Sigma Tau Chapter of Seattle, Washington as the favorite for the Cheney Cup. As Awards Night began, the Kap F I J I U G A 3rd Annual Christmas Party Christmas is drawing near and we all hope December 13, 1985 is marked on your calendar. Why? Because it's the date of the 3rd Annual Phi Gamma Christmas gathering. Just to up date you from our original letter. The Date: December 13, 1985 The Place: Golden Key National Headquarters pa Deuteron brothers were nervous, but confi Intersection of Briarcliff & Ponce dent. After a presentation of the Wilkinson de Leon Award (which Kappa Deuteron President Tom Salyers placed second) it was time for the The Time: 8:00pm — 1:00am Cheney Cup. featuring the fabulous Jimmy Brown Duo, festive hors d'oeuvres, beer & wine. As we mentioned in the Phi Gam-O-Gram, "Third Place-Nebraska...Second Place-Wash ington..." the speaker went on..."The winner of this year's Cheney Cup has over 60% of its members in academic honoraries, it is the Fraternity of the Year on its campus, the academic champs, second in athletics, has the presidents of the Business School Council, Marketing Club, Biftad, and Freshman Council ...the winner is...Kappa Deuteron of the Univer sity of Georgia!" The six delegates, led by of ficer Bill Pearson, charged (literally) the podium and accepted the trophy to thunderous ap plause of over 600 FIJI Brothers. The 19th FIJI Academy was an experience for all of Kappa Deuteron to savor.

Executive Villas hotel chain was nice enough to sponsor us for the fall season. The flag football season consists of 8 teams which play on Tuesday nights In Sandy Springs. Some of the rules have changed since college days but It Is basically the same game.

Softball was another story this year. Thank goodness, all the wives allowed their husbands to play again this year. We started off slow, ala Atlanta Braves, and even a second half appearance by John "Sun got in my eyes" Growers didn't do much for our winning drive. As for our final standings, we didn't fake first but we didn't finish last. All I can say Is, It's not how many you win or lose.

We wanted our presentation to set us apart from every other fraternity. After the rushees were escorted into the house, six brothers told the rushees about our many accomplishments ~ Cheney Cup winner, AOPi Fraternity of the Year, Scholastic and Athletic accomplish ments, etc. After the six had finished talking, the rest of the chapter came running up from the basement on cue, encircled the rushees, and gave the cheer. The remaining time was spent with each rush team meeting the rushees.
