KAPPA DEUTERON OF PHI GAMMA DELTA CAuKUTaTii FALL 1988 UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA ATHENS,GEORGIA GAVEL'S REPORT Brothers, This fall Phi Gamma Delta has, as usual, many reasons to be proud. At Ekklesia, which was held in Denver this August, Kappa Deuteron won the Zerman Trophy for extra curricular activities and we receive one of the three honorable mentions awarded for the Cheney Cup. Also, we should aU be proud that brother Bill"Spot" Bracewell was elected as an Archon. On the local level, things are looking up as well. Our chapter G.P.A. rose markedly, bringing us from 3rd to 2nd place in scholarship among fraternities. Our accounts receiva ble, which was a problem as of Pig Dinner last spring, was well under $2,000 by the end of fall msh. Speaking of fall msh, we pledged 21 fine men and have enthusiastically begun to educate them. We appreciate the work that several graduate brothers have contributed toward our goal of a new house at 3 Cloverhurst Court. Brothers Strickland, Lowring, Rogers, Cheeley and BraceweU have been working on plans, parking and zoning variance changes that vvovild b-e necessaiy for any building. Also, Dave Watson is heading up a fundraising drive, obviously quite necessary before our plans can become serious. Another thanks for gradu ate involvement goes to Jimmy Adams for his usual assistance with Formal Pledging. This quarter we have had visits from Jack Heilgiest, Tim Jett, and several other graduates have volunteered their time to help with our chaplaincy program. Joe Fennell, who is back at the University in law school, spent an evening at die house and treated the undergraduates to some beer. This type of visit is appreciated and gready encouraged! We have a new graduate brother, initiated early in October. He is Jere Morehead, a professor in the legal studies department here, and we are confident he will be a great brother and asset to Kappa Deuteron. As always, please stop by anytime you can and offer your advice or company, because "Phi Gamma Delta is not for college days alone." Perge! \r\n• GRADUATE RELATIONS • This year was an extraordinary year for Kappa Deuteron, as our chapter celebrated her twentieth anniversary. The 1988 Norris Pig Dinner was no exception. The entire weekend of April 8th and 9th was fihed with event and activities. To kickoff the week end, the undergraduates held a special formal chapter on Friday night which was at tended by over 15 graduates. Saturday morning's activities began at 8:00 for the annual Pig Dinner Golf Toumament. Over 30 undergraduates and graduates participated in the 18 hole Lauderdale toumament. Following the morning of golf, the aftemoon's ac tivities included roasting a pig at the house for a bar-b-que. Finally the weekend culmi nated with the Norris Pig Dinner. The speaker at the Dinner was none other than Di rector Emeritus William S. Zerman. Over 180 undergraduates and graduates attended. Held at the Athens Country Club, this black tie dinner was one of the most successful alumni weekends in Kappa Deuteroris twenty years, helping to make 1988 a year to remember. • COMMUNITY RELATIONS • We are proud to stand out from the other fraternities on campus. In addition to oth er aspects, our pride stems from our work in the community. In Spring quarter we accumulated the highest number of volunteer service hours in the community, relative to the other fraternities on campus. Phi Gamma Delta has be come synonymous with help in the community by assisting in areas such as the Discover Athens Fair, Sandy Creek Park and the Bridge Way Boy's Home. In addition to other projects, Steve Dunn and Brian Scott donated their individual time to service in the community. We have several activities already planned this year. We intend to be first on cam pus this year again. •PUBLICATIONS • As the Publications Chairman,I would like to take this opportunity to ask you, the graduates,for your help. This is not the easiest job in our chapter, but without your in put it is nearly impossible. My goal for this committee is to put out an in-depth FUJIUGA once per quarter with the PHI GAM-O-GRAM such as this to be used in an as need ed capacity for timely announcements and information concerning our chapter. The formula that I would like to see in the FUJIUGA would be 70% graduate news,25% un dergraduate news, and 5% Athens area and University news. This sounds great and looks good on paper but the 70% graduate news must come from you. I can not make it up. If you, or someone you know, has accomplished something, send it in. Are you starting a new business? Is your company looking for a few good men? Got a promo tion? Got a raise? Gotten married? Please, send it in. We can help you keep up with our brothers if you keep up with us. Send the information to Steve Fowler, Publica tions Chairman,3 Cloverhurst Court, Athens GA 30605, or call 404-353-0503. \r\n• GRADUATE NEWS • Todd Barnesf'81) is presently living in Atlanta, working for Dean Witter Inc.

Although rush was only seven days this year, with three formal days and four days of open rush, we were able to extend bids to twenty-one of the finest men at the University of Georgia. Among the young men that were pledged there were many fine athletes and they were aU capa ble of academic excellence, and campus leader ship. It is easy to see the potential of these young men b^ause in the first few weeks,two were elected to Freshmen Council and one to the Student Association. We are confident that through the traditionally strong pledge education program, these young men wUl be molded into fine brothers with ad mirable character. The Pledge Educators for the Delta Triton pledge class are Chris Herman *89 and David Joyner'89. We would like to express our gratitude for the graduate brothers' participation and interest in rush and also for the letters of recommenda tion. Graduate participation helps us to recruit the caliber of men that is necessary to carry on the great tradition that the brothers of Phi Gamma Delta have established ovct the past A1 Adamson Scott Poole Kirk Setzer Johnathan Greene Kevin Bottoms Chip Zimmerman Chris Thorpe Todd Henley Jim Cheeley Travis Sakiison DanRiley Billy Goldman David Strother Chad Wheelus John Elmore Shane Bush Jason Munson Scott Smith Chris Pittard Drew Meadows Bamesville, GA Wilmington, Del Tucker, GA Stone Mountain, GA Tucker, GA Columbia, SC Stone Moimtain, GA Dimwoody, GA Buford, GA Marietta, GA Cedartown, GA Lincolnton, GA Marietta, GA Forest Park, GA Emory, VA Long Beach, GAL Marietta, GA Macon, GA Tucker, GA Marietta, GA •92 •92 •91 •92 •91 •92 •92 •91 •92 •92 •91 •92 •92 •90 '91 Grad •91 '92 •92 •91 "Phi Gamma Delta is not for college days twenty years. alone."
