Foundations for the Future: Your monthly donations will help lay the foundation to form a capital campaign
committee and successfully launch a campaign. So, while these monthly donations will not directly allow us to build
a new house, portions of your donations will be earmarked for campaign expenses. This will help ensure that our
capital campaign committee will have the funds to move forward with all due diligence.
For the Betterment of the Chapter: a secondary goal of the Online Donation Programs is to support the Chapter’s Graduate Relations efforts. The ability to “raise the bar” in the area of Graduate Relations and Graduate support is paramount to both the Chapter’s goal of one day winning the coveted “Cheney Cup” and TFI’s goal of one
day providing them a new chapter house.
Benefits for Donors: Beyond the knowledge that you are “giving back” to the organization that gave so much to
you during you college years, you will receive other rewards as well. Currently, donors receive gift certificates
redeemable at Pig Dinner weekends. We are also exploring a variety of other ways to recognize Club members.

THETA TAU
VOLUME __ No. 1
L ETTER FROM THE P RESIDENT
S PECIAL POINTS OF
INTEREST :
Graduate Brothers,
I would like to apologize for the lack of graduate communication over the
past year. It has been hard to try to publish and mail an issue of the Golden Eagle
Fiji due to some of our financial constraints during the spring semester. For the
fall semester, I split the graduate relations committee into two committees. One
that writes and mails the Golden Eagle Fiji and one that is responsible for communication in all other areas such as emails and other mailings. I hope that this transition helps provide more communication between the chapter and the graduates.
You can help by going to the graduate website and updating your information so
that we can reach.
Even with the financial difficulties the chapter ran into we have bounced
back with the same drive and determination that we always have had and tried and
succeeded in excelling in everything that we have set our minds to. This semester
we teamed up with DG and won homecoming. We also won the intramural soccer
championship. And we finished 2nd in the Cheney Cup for 2006.
For those that do not know Brian Douglas found his replacement for Purple Legionnaire, Bo Byers, the 2006 President, who has filled his role and has
already begun trying to establish the Board of Chapter Advisors (BCA) that will
help the chapter out in many different aspects of the daily functions of the fraternity. With that, anybody that is interested in helping the chapter in any aspect you
can contact Bo and we would be glad to have your help.
Go ahead and mark your calendar for the weekend of April 19th. Our 27th
Annual Pig Dinner is already in the works and we would love to see as many
grads there as possible. Nothing helps the chapter more than to meet graduates
that are enthusiastic about the life of the chapter. The best way to show this is to
come to Pig Dinner and meet the undergrads and don’t be afraid to tell stories.
I hope this letter finds all of you well and I, and the chapter, wish you the
best.
Fraternally,
Will Crunk

over in school advisor positions.
Graduate support fills this void.
The entire chapter organization is structured to run without advisors, but at any given time every chapter needs assistance in one or more
areas of their operation. Here the role
of the advisor becomes invaluable as
he helps the chapter define weaknesses and implement plans to overcome them. The advisor’s role becomes especially meaningful when
real difficulties are encountered.
The Purple Legionnaire is the
primary advisor and the supervisor of
chapter administration. The Purple
Legionnaire should be thoroughly
familiar with all aspects of chapter
operations so that he may render effective and positive leadership advice.
The Purple Legionnaire also serves as
the chairman of the Board of Chapter
Advisors (BCA).
