The Chain The Graduate Newsletter of Lambda Omega Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta Volume 4, Number 2, November, 1995 THE OPENING WORD I am pleased to welcome some new readers to this publication. When 1 looked at the master list of Fijis in Ontario, 1 added any Fijis living up to about a two hour drive from London, Ontario. As my hometown is Oshawa, Ontario, I also added the Oshawa Fijis, including two (2) former teachers fi'om my high school that I discovered, in my searches, are fraternity brothers. This gave me fifty-nine (59) more men on my address list. Brothers have been added from the following chapters - Lambda Chapter at Depauw, Pi Chapter at Allegheny, Theta Deuteron Chapter at Ohio Wesleyan, Sigma Deuteron at Lafayette, Alpha Phi Chapter at Michigan, Theta Psi at Colgate, Nu Epsilon at New York, Gamma Deuteron at Knox, Tau Kappa at Toronto, Pi Gamma at U.B.C., Mu Kappa from McGill, Alpha Gamma from General Motors Institute, Epsilon Alpha from Alberta and Upsilon Chi from Calgary. Each of you is welcome to Lambda Omega - to share our news, to contribute to the Chain, to attend our Pig Dinner and to share the Lambda Omega brand of brotherhood. I hope you find our news interesting and informative. I also hope to meet you in London at some point soon. If, for some reason, you do not want to receive the Chain, just drop me a line and I will take your name off the mailing list. My name and address follow. To the existing readers, thank you for the kind comments I have received by letter and phone about the last edition. It seemed to be a real crowd pleaser. REFLECTIONS FROM THE PAST There is no doubt that Phi Gamma Delta played a vital role in my development during undergraduate days and has continued in this role since I graduated. While the fraternity helped me to attain leadership and interpersonal skills, its most enduring legacy upon me comes from the friendships I made and have maintained over the past several years. Although I now make my home in Alberta, the memories of Phi Gamma Delta, like the friendships, remain extremely important to me. It is ironic that the fratermity has meant so much to me because I was initially hesitant about joining. It took a great deal of convincing on the part of my roommate. Brother Glen Farrow, to even get me to a rush event. That first rush event, though, was enough to convince me that I belonged. I sensed that the brothers I met respected each other and enjoyed spending time together. The fraternity became my home away from home; it made an otherwise large campus a little more manageable. It is difficult to elect any one moment as being representative of my experience within the fraternity. Initiation was one of those moments. While I would not care to repeat the experience, parts of the weekend stand out in a special way. Although almost drunk from exhaustion, I can still remember the pride I felt throughout the initiation ceremony; pride in myself and pride for my fellow initiates and our accomplishments together. I hope you find this effort I have the fraternity to thank , at least partly, for as enjoyable. introducing me to my fiancee and present wife, - John G. Starzynski R.R. #2, Guelph, Sheri. She was a reluctant blind date to the Grass Ontario NIH 6H8 519-837-9459 FAX-519-837-4984 Skirt in my third year. She had no real interest in attending a "frat" party, but agreed to come, at the urging of a friend who was also attending. \r\nm Needless to say, things worked out between Sheri and myself. Her friend however, in the true spirit of the "Skirt", ended up in the balloon room, but not with the brother who brought her to the party. These are a few of the many memories that helped reinforce that Phi Gamma Delta is "Not For College Days Alone." SILVER OWL RECIPIENTS - 1996 The Following Brothers will be receiving their token of twenty-five years of membership in the fraternity at the Pig Dinner in February, 1996.

Murray Kevin Linden '73HBA- July 21, 1995 Hi John! Great to hear from you via "the Chain". I thought I'd take a few minutes to bring you up to date on the world Bro' Linden occupies these days. June (my wife) and I will be married lucky 13 years come September and like most brothers, we have two children, Stephanie (11) and Andy (9). Also a dog, "Dixie"(2 1/2). \r\nWe're alive and well and living in Calgary again. We had been here for 4 1/2 years in the late eighties. My career with Confederation Life ended after a little more than 20 years on August 12, 1994. Fortunately, our division (Group) was purchased by Manualife and they kept me on and returned me to Calgary last fall to oversee the group business in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. We love living here and Manualife is proving to be an outstanding company to work for. I've enclosed a copy of my business card for your directory. I'll look forward to seeing the finished product. For your records (and so that I can continue to receive "the Chain"), my address at home is as follows: 125 Douglasbank Green S.E., Calgary, Alberta T2Z 2C6 I really got a big kick out of the newsletter. What a fantastic job you've done with it! It was great seeing the old guys look so young and to hear how well they,ve made out along the way. I still keep in touch with some of the guys (Atkinson, Woods, Longworth) but most 1 haven't seen or talked to in many years. I guess I'm not much of a letter writer or phoner. Given my best toward minimal communication, it's great to have a vehicle like "the Chain" in order to feel connected to the guys and all the good times we had. telling people I'm producing it. 1 figure Stan (Morantz) is taking so much credit for it there has to be 2 or 3 brothers he hasn't talked to. And guess what? I've found two lost brothers and am providing you with their updated addresses. Thanks again and hope to see you soon. Mark P. Trenton PERGE!

Reverend Doctor Ian Maynard Begg '67BA '69MA'71PHD continues his quest to add the letters LL.B behind his name. He is in second year, parttime, at the University of Toronto law school, while, at the same time, teaching Psychology at McMaster University and, as well, cohabiting with a medical student and significant other, Rohan. I'm anxious to see how he fits all of this on one card. Maybe he can give to or get a few tips from Franciscus Cornelius Thaddeus Theodore Smeenk on time management and survival on no sleep. Well that's about all the news for now and I'm going to stop. 1 have a writer's cramp, having not written an actual letter by hand in some 20+ years. Again, John, thanks for all your effort on behalf of LOST BROTHERS all of us, with respect to "the Chain". It's well Unfortunately, after the last mailing, letters were appreciated!

(Can you believe that the Chain has been going tor tour years?!) It you would like any of the back issues, please let me know and When 1 was at the East coast this past summer, 1 I will send you what you missed. You can contact me at 519-837-9459 or FAX-519-837-4984 or write had occasion to visit Brother John Whitford Chandler Q.C. '71HBA-UWO '74LLB-DaIhousie at his home in Chester, Nova Scotia. And he had a gold mine of Fiji information tor me! Years ago he had been entrusted with the minutes of the chapter to R.R. #2, Guelph, Ontario NIH 6H8. from the very first colony meeting up to 1969. 1 now have these gems in the graduate archives and wish to share some excerpts from these minutes with you. GRADUATE BUSINESS CARD - Jamiai-y 3, 1966 - For the first time we followed the DIRECTORY ritual fully. Yes, 1 am finally getting this directory done. I'm making one last call tor business cards from everyone, including those who already sent me cards in the past. 1 will send you a directory on request and some will be available at the Pig, tor the costs of photocopying. I am also working constantly on the master directory. This has been completed tor a tew years but, like any phone book, it is out-of-date as soon as it is published. It you change your address or know of any other brother who has moved, please let me know. Your kind assistance will ensure that you continue to receive the Chain. This will also help defray our mailing costs. The directory will be available tor the photocopying and mailing costs about $15 - after the Pig. Report of Corr. Sec. - Christmas cards were sent out to our 13 friends. - March 15, 1966 - The meeting opened with the ritual after a fashion. PL. N. Schuller had a little difficulty at the door. Apparently he has some difficulty counting to three. After a brief scuffle with Bro. Cooper, Field Secretary Bro. Robert McCulloch managed to gain entrance and Bro. Keenleyside had some trouble with the small print of the manual. Perhaps if we were to reprint it in letters about the size of the lettering on the sign, less confusion would occur for our guests if they ever got the nerve to try another visit. Another high point was a fine rendition of the doxology. We were not able to convince Bro. McCulloch that there is a special tune for the colony. He, in turn, made a slighting remark about our vocal abilities. PIG DINNER CLASS REUNIONS The Pig Dinner would be an opportune occasion tor graduating classes from 5, 10, 15 and 20 years ago to get together to come back to the Pig, just as the Silver Owl, 25-year guys are doing. 1 would ask you to consider calling your other grad brothers to - March 15, 1966 - Brother McCulloch suggested we follow (for the pledge program) the 6p program Previous planning prevents piss poor programs. - March 21, 1966 - The ceremony of initiation followed. Four brothers were welcomed and reminded of our informal motto - "May your bar bill ever be high, that, on this principle, the Colony remains solvent." encourage them to come to London the first weekend in February. Once 1 get my computer problems sorted out, 1 will be able to help by producing lists of the brothers in each category and in different geographic areas. Unfortunately, that will not happen tor the next Pig, so 1 am hoping that someone out there will take the ball and run with it by phoning pledge brothers and organizing a Pig Dinner weekend reunion. 1 can help with addresses and telephone numbers it you contact me. - February 19, 1968 - Bro. Magoo announced that the 1st annual Bro. Magoo Birthday Party would be held after the pledge ceremony. It was a little odd because it was Bro. Young's birthday. - March 18, 1968 - Purple Jesus Bar - Bro. Mills outlined the total cost as being $79.02 and therefore at 30 cents per chit, expenses will he met adequately. He held Bill Scarrow with 29 chits and John Campbell with 21 chits in high regard. He also remarked that the party seemed to work out better with a weaker punch as we had only 2 people \r\nbite the dust this year. Everyone seemed to have a good time although Stewart's date was not amused. DOES THE CHAIN KNOW? - October 7, 1968 - Bro. McMullen announced the 1 understand that Ian went to the Biz school and did interest to your other graduate brothers or if you have any information you wish to share about other graduate brothers, please send it to me - John Starzynski, R.R. #2, Guelph, Ontario NIH 6H8 519- affiliate. He is now President of Mattel Canada. Where 837-9459; FAX-519-837-4984. If you have any information that would be of desire of Ian Bradley of Tau Kappa to affiliate with Lambda Omega.(Does anyone know what happened? can I yet in touch with hUn?) - Novetnber 11, 1968 - Bro. Scarrow suggested that we take a couple of pledges for "a ride" to instill some kind of unity and life into the pledge class. It was decided that Pledge Mees and Pledge Brown he taken to Thorndale. P.S. We were able to capture Pledge Mees hut not Pledge Brown. We took Mees to Strathroy because Bro. Fellman couldn't find Thorndale.
