Being an Archon By: Archon Councilor Michael Dockins (CHE'02) Being an Archon doesn't mean you are an old retired Phi Cam that tells everyone else what to do (you would be suprised how often I hear that). However, being an Archon does does allow me to help make decisions for our great fraternity that will lead us into the future. For those of you that do not know, I was selected last summer at the 2000 Ekklesia to round out the nine-member board of our fraternity known as the Archonate. Under the leadership of PresidentJim Caswell, this Archonate has done some extremely exciting things: an overhauled web-site with many more changes to come, colony expansion in Arkansas, Cal-Berkley, and a revitalization in DePauw. We are also commifted to forward planning in leadership development and lowering undergraduate dues when possible. It is an exciting time for Phi Camma Delta Brothers, and I encourage you to get involved in any way that you can. lf you cannot help with Rho There The Rose-Hulman pledge cllss at State Day in Indianapolis.

Przybyl (nO '04) For the past 2 years, the undergraduate brothers at the Rho Phi have been making their way to lndianapolis toward the end of the school year. No, it's not for the better libraries to study in, it is to solely fulfill the one thing all men have in common-a need that is vital for survival-the need for speed. The Rho Phi brothers give a break to the computer games and homework that have plagued them all year and give in to the lndianapolis 500 rush. Each brother who attends gets a chance to smell the drive an lndy car for hundreds of the Rho Phi with a fuel-burning, tiresteaming golf cart. lts hundreds of laps are made on the backside of the track ' behind the screaming fans in the bleachers.

I learned that a fellow consultant was a Fiji from Texas Tech when we were talking about hobbies. I collect owls, especially white owls-of all types. He said the ,,symbol,, of his college fraternity was a white owt, so now have that bond in common. Consulting is interesting work that allows some interesting travel. Recently I have been spending time in China working the two large Chinese oit companies. Creat place to visit, nice people, and the growth in buildings in the major cities is really amazing. I can go back 6 weeks later and find entire blocks torn down getting ready for a new high-rise office. My wife, Kathy, and former Woodsie are enjoying tife in Texas now that our son Derek has graduated from Rose. Our cash flow has greatly improved now that we do not have Rose tuition to pay for. MIKE HILEMAN (CME) It's been an interesting year so far. No monoliths have appeared in my front yard, but so far, 2001 HAS offered up the following: - t'm now wearing braces. y"p, my enigmatic and endearing smile is going to be all straightened out. And they suck. At least t get to pick out an interesting color every 2 months for the little rubber bands that hold the wire to the brackets. - My Mom entered the hospital on an emergency basis with a multitude of problems, but renal failure had center ring. I went up (to rural Minnesota) and stayed with my Dad for 2 weeks. Then work beckoned and I had to leave, so my spouse, Nancy, came up and stayed with him for 3 weeks. Then it became clear that this was going to be a longer haul, so I went up and brought spouse, my Dad, and my folks' 2 cats back with me. My Dad stayed with us for a couple of months. Everything is fine now. Mom is out of the hospital, and Mom and Dad are back in their own house. - | became a reduction-in-workforce casualty at Motorola. After 17 years it seemed like a big blow. But it turns out to be a big world after all.

The work is cool, I can work from home much of the time, my partners are good people, and the pay is improved. I came around to concluding that the now-fading bootmark on my fanny actually belonged to my guardian angel. That's the first half of the year. I can't wait to see what the rest of 2001 brings! ?

Since we have almost 600 email addresses (representing all but 100 graduates), a lot of graduate communication is done electronically. For instance, if we have your current address, you have received periodic updated address/ phone books formatted in Microsoft,Excel. These phone books have phone numbers, addresses and email addresses of Rho Phi brothers sorted alphabetically and by class. Additionally, a graduate listserv keeps you up to date on chapter, graduate and school information. Don't worry; it is secure. The listserv is set up to prevent anyone from entering the list without permission, and email addresses cannot be downloaded from the list. We hate iunk email as much as you. Take a minute to send us your address so that you can be added to the list. Thanks in advance with your help with the project. - Joe - Perge!
