The GATOR Fiji Published jointly by the men of the Undergraduate Chapter and the Graduate Association of the Upsilon Phi Chapter of the Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta at the University of Florida December 2008 7 FRATERNITY ROW GETS A FACELIFT By Warren A. Smith (1962), House Corporation President Since taking our house back from the Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity this summer, your House Corporation has been busy turning the place back into something the Fijis can be proud of, and slowly but surely the old house is looking like a place we can call home again! The effort kicked off with a solid month of heavy-duty cleaning, clearing, painting and polishing by an outstanding group of Fiji men. An estimated 800 man-hours of work were put in by eight summer session B tenants, who earned themselves free rent for the period, and the remainder of the Fiji undergrads in town who contributed through scheduled work parties. A dedicated group of graduate brothers (Ed Kellar, Bill Valentine, Peter Aliberti and Jeff Greenert, among others) provided guidance and direction, and what the undergraduates couldn’t handle, the house corporation contracted. Renovation literally covered from top (roof) to bottom (basement) and all in between, but with special emphasis on the living room and foyer, although even the rec room and dining room received new coats of paint. New tables and additional chairs were added to the dining room. The powder room was painted and redecorated as well. The entire front and back yards were reclaimed, and the roof cleared of leaves and debris and roof drain leaks were sealed. Drywall holes and moisture damage was repaired. All rooms were emptied and cleaned, and the entire facility except the kitchen got a massive deep cleaning, including (Continued on page 2) MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR PIG DINNER 2009 By David Smith (1983), House Corporation Member For those of you who were fortunate enough to make it to Pig Dinner 2008 …the weekend proved to be a reunion to remember. As most of you are aware, Fiji is back in our digs at 7 Fraternity Row and this year’s Pig Dinner is to be a celebration extraordinaire. So pack your bags, grab your golf clubs and get to Hog Town.

To the office of Historian, Peter Martin (’10) was elected and is very excited about being a strong voice on cabinet. Peter is a junior member of pledge class Gamma who is very involved with the chapter and is passionate about our Ritual. To the office of Corresponding Secretary, the chapter elected Tim Rankin (’11). Tim is a sophomore member of pledge class Delta who plays on our soccer team and is ready to work hard with our social committee to have a great upcoming calendar. Our new Recording Secretary is Corey Clawson (’11). Corey is a sophomore member of pledge class Gamma and is our recent Grad Relations chair and is very motivated in keeping this Chapter headed in the right direction. Treasurer for the upcoming year is Ryan Issa (’11). Ryan, or Big Dog, is also a sophomore member of pledge class Gamma. Ryan is excited about making sure our budget stays in order and that dues and other bills are dealt with accordingly. Lastly, I, Andrew Nelson will be the new President. I am a sophomore member of pledge class Gamma and I am from Tampa, Florida. I ran for president because Upsilon Phi has been one of the most important things in my life since I came to college. I want nothing more than to see it grow and flourish on the University of Florida campus like it once had and like I know it can. I am thrilled about the upcoming year and I am ready for all the challenges that come with the position. I look forward to seeing you all at Pig Dinner this year and for tailgates in the fall of 2009. PERGE! 7 FRATERNITY ROW GETS A FACELIFT continued... upstairs carpet cleaning. All of the interior walls downstairs, stairwells, and the upstairs hallway were spackled and repainted. Terrazzo floors were cleaned and polished. A new tile floor was laid in the entryway/foyer, and doors trimmed and painted. Several trees, that threatened serious roof damage should a hurricane come along, were removed or pruned. Electrical circuitry, thermostats and some lighting fixtures were updated to help with the power bill. The wireless system was re-configured from TKE to Fiji and a router replaced. The old house manager’s apartment was gutted and completely remodeled to accommodate our new house mom, Dottie Trotter. Walls were plastered and painted and a new electrical subpanel added. A new kitchen was built with cabinets by brother Chris Buffington(’83), including new modern appliances. Finally, new carpeting and kitchen/bath floor tile was added throughout and the corroded bath fixtures and toilet/sink were replaced. Dottie now feels right at home and is really starting to get involved in her management role working with the men of Upsilon Phi. The front façade was repaired and painted, and new Greeks, “Phi Gamma Delta” and Fiji lettering installed, and even the sidewalk and building roof trim repainted. The entrance double doors are royal purple again! The front living room entrance was widened to its near original size for much improved impact and eye appeal, and Gamma’s cabinet perch moved to a new place of honor in the front anteroom. Lastly, the House Corporation purchased almost $25,000 worth of new furniture for the living room, powder room and entryway/ foyer. Everything here was coordinated by Pete Aliberti (’70) and Bruce Bradburn (’71), who are professionals in the furniture industry. Other brothers in business have also stepped up with advice and other assistance including Chris Buffington (front foyer and mail room additional new paneling, and (Continued from page 1) dining room breakfast cabinetry) and Nelson Green (’68) (tile). When you talk to them, make sure to say “thanks for helping out.” UF OSFA visitors and the fire marshall have highly praised the end result and commented that having seen the house “before” the summer B session, they did not think we could pull it off before rush. We have invested a total of about $60-70,000 over the past four months, much of it thanks to your contributions. We still have a ways to go, but we have a full house of 23 men (plus another 33 not in the house), who are really exemplifying the spirit of Phi Gamma Delta now that they have a fraternity house to help them shine! Graduates have a standing invitation to visit anytime. There are always a few burgers on the grill on game days and these men are hungry to meet brothers from the “real world.” Any of you who may have already visited the house this fall can attest to how beautiful everything looks! \r\nT HE G AT OR F I J I PAGE 3 MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR PIG DINNER 2009 continued...

Some of these items are things deferred from the initial work due to time or cost, and some are impending maintenance items (always a list to be prioritized), while others are true capital improvements for building on our assets. Besides Rec room junk furniture replacement, the kitchen presents current needs even while we have meals catered. These include several (used) refrigerators and freezers to allow better storage for events, and condiments, leftovers or late plates (lots of night classes these days we never had in the past). In addition, the walls all need cleaning/paint, and there currently is no operating HVAC. The courtyard grills are decrepit at best and get used a lot – a new stainless BBQ is badly needed. Possible future expenditures numerous possible projects, including additional security lighting front cameras/alarms, exterior house painting, fire stairs welding repairs, some additional roof maintenance, soffit replacement along the south side, upstairs carpet replacement (or possible different flooring altogether), additional thermostat replacements, sprinkler system expansion and repair, basement demolition of old systems to create possible storage, laundry or exercise room facilities, connection to UF Internet systems, additional bathroom and laundry room maintenance with some replacements, back yard renovations to include bigger and better secure storage, fencing, improved drainage, and maybe even some decking or flagstone patio additions.
