A i'lessage froit the Gradxiate Board President
Dear Brothers,
Last month's intex-pratemity Council dinner was hardly an exclvisively Chi Upsilon affair*
it only seemed tnat way at times* Hosted by Assistant Dean Ralph Hamilton at the Quad dub, the
dixjier featured the installation of undergraduate Brother Pete Leeds as IPC President, and it
welcomed an address by our Chuck O'Connell, the retiring Dean of Students for the University*
Jxist as importantly, Chi Upsilon was the only Chapter on campus represented hy two members
of the Alumni Association* I was joined by my immediate predecessor Lou Nieto* Our presence
symbolized the continuing commitment by your elected Graduate Board—a commitment rarely matched
elsewtiere on campixs.
It was fx* Hamilton himself who pointed this out following the meeting at our Chapter House
at wnich Pete was elected IPG President, fir* Hamilton told the Graduate Board that Chi Upsilon
was tne best-run frateimty house on campus* Congrainilations to all involvedl
Tety excellence requires continued comadtment* Won't you join with us in that effort?
Your much appreciated financial support represents only part of the need* We also need your
presence—occasionally at the House to offer guidance axid good cheer to the undergzaduates,
and on the Graduate Board to help oversee critical fiscal and fraternal decisions*
As the Pig Dinner approaches, electidns loom to replace
are leaving this year after dedicated service. Ve need your
volunteer to be a board member* Please suggest others whose
important is the experience of older Brothers* fo volunteer

personal contribution* Please
service would be valued* Particvilarly

A
fraternity, perhaps even more than a university/ spends money not so much on
bare necessities, but on enhancing life. So while the kind of brotherhood,
intellectual excellence, and social discourse that we treasure in Phi Gamma
Delta may not feed hungry mouths or heal broken bodies, it is nonetheless
part of the same upward progress of humanity. Despite this claimed moral
equivalence, as treasurer I never could justify the out-stretched offering
basket that charities must employ.
You get a dues envelope a few times a year. You can ignor^it. You can
send money because you feel a debt to the cause of fraternity which helped
you on the road to success or happiness, maybe both. You can send money
because we are spending it on a particular project dear to your heart. (How

renovation?)

Fijis like to scribble "perge!" (imperative of "pergere") on our
