(Continued from page 1) at OU. I was not rushed by Phi Gamma Delta at OU, but was asked to join another fraternity. It did not take long for me to see the error of my ways and I transferred to OSU. Talking with the FIJI brothers made all the difference to me. They described to me the difference pledging Phi Gamma Delta had made in their college experiences and the pride they had in the house. Rollie Heatly: I was very fortunate to follow some awesome men from my hometown of Mangum who chose Phi Gamma Delta as their fraternity. For a small town, Mangum was very well represented in the FIJI house in the 60s and 70s. Loving football and having an uncle who punted on OU’s first national championship team (1950), I always thought I would be an OU Sooner. Things changed quickly when my brother, Ralph, who started at OU but transferred to OSU and then pledged FIJI followed by my very close friend, Jim Keating, asked me to consider Phi Gamma Delta. Frank Crabtree, from Ada, was a great rush chairman and made all of us he rushed feel important. He had the perfect personality to assemble a strong pledge class. Robert Keating: I was introduced to Phi Gamma Delta by Randall Whittaker (Randy in those days). He was from Mangum and was rush chairman for the FIJIS that year. I was being rushed by other fraternities, but the FIJIS were the only fraternity rushing the whole band. The band had decided to go to OSU and continue to play. Randall had us play for a rush party, and I guess we passed the audition. I seriously considered the other fraternities, but all of us in the band pledged FIJI. Our band played around Stillwater for five years. We had a great time. You’d have to say it worked out. SO: Did the fact that you graduated from a small town high school play any role in deciding to pledge a fraternity? What were a few of the most positive benefits of pledging FIJI? What is your hunch about your col- lege success and continuing with the band had you not become a member of Phi Gamma Delta? Ralph: I believe it did. Moving from a small town high school to a major University is a culture shock to say the least. Having a group of friends to go through it with you and constructive guidance from upperclassmen made the transition easier. Close friendships with a great bunch of guys that continues to this day. My freshman year in the dorm at OU gave me a taste of what my college experience without Phi Gamma Delta would have been. It was not a happy year. Everything changed after pledging. The opportunities for the band went from playing at the Mangum Civic Center to dance hours and many fraternity and sorority parties. What a great college job! Rollie: Two things stick out for me. I was not a great student and I struggled. I felt very blessed to have fraternity brothers who cared about me and my future and were right there to help me anytime I needed help. As a pledge, I learned the benefits of study hall and the positive impact it would have on my education. Without a doubt, my fraternity brothers played a huge part in encouraging and helping me earn my degree. Secondly, the awesome friendships you develop when you live in the same house and do so many things with your brothers. I would never have experienced this had I not been a part of the FIJI family. Robert: I don’t think being from a small town played any role in my decision to pledge. My older sister, Janie, made it clear that I would go through rush and pledge a fraternity, and that was that. The greatest benefit of the fraternity was the friends I made. Pledging together creates bonds that you just don’t get any other way. I pledged with some great guys who have become very successful and are still great friends. The FIJI house was great for the parties, social life in general, campus activities, leadership opportunities, etc. Had I not become a FIJI, I think I would have succeeded at college anyway, except for the question of the band. If I had pledged another fraternity and hadn’t been given time to work with the band, I would have become very disillusioned and unhappy. Although I had never really thought about it before, pledging FIJI and keeping the band together probably played a key role in what appears to have been The Changing Times Band THEN Standing (L to R) - Alan Rosenbaum, Greg Dennis (black hat), Jim Keating (white hat), Steve Edwards (beard), Robert Keating (moustache).

(Continued from page 2) a successful college career. Successful might be defined as: fraternity initiation, good grades, graduation from the University where I started in four years, active and connected to the fraternity for my entire college career, President and Cabinet positions in the House, etc. Jim: I was confident in my abilities to succeed, even though I was thrown into such a large University with people I didn’t know. It was a little scary, but getting to know my pledge brothers was great, particularly Jim Goertz, who was from Hobart and I knew from sports. We met lots of people really quick… dates, pledge brothers, help in school, Big Brother is Gene Kouba, one of the all time great guys. SO: At the recent Mangum Alumni Mixer 5 of the 8 musicians were FIJIS. You have better band longevity than the Beatles. What do you think are the major factors that have kept you all together as band members, friends, and faithful FIJIS? Ralph: I think that for many, the college years are some of the best years of your life. I still consider the friends of that time to be my most cherished friends today. If you are lucky enough to have been a FIJI then those bonds of friendship are even stronger because you shared an experience that can be had no other way. The friendship and the enjoyment of playing music for people that enjoy the songs of our high school and college days makes it fun for me even after all the years. Bill Maas: We realized that we worked well together and had a reasonably good work ethic. We put in a lot of time rehearsing. Being FIJIS reinforces our friendship and shows that Phi Gamma Delta is “not for college days alone.” SO: Those of us who were living in the chapter house during the rise of the band’s popularity recall many afternoon practice jam sessions. What is your recollection of when the “FIJI House Band” became more identified as “The Changing Times?” What conflicts or stresses did the triple role of student, FIJI Member and bandman present? Robert: I loved practicing. I was often concerned that the volume level of our sessions was annoying the fraternity members. I’m sure that it was, but they let us do it anyway. There was a benefit. We played for many house functions. Some of the best times I remember were the FIJI parties. There was something special in being the FIJI house band playing for a FIJI party. I think the members and pledges took some pride in that too. I think all the band members lived in the house for at least two years, maybe PAGE 3 three. At some point, Ralph and Bill Maas moved out and we spent more time at their place than at the house. Sometime after that, we had a band house where we all lived and could practice without disturbing anyone. However, I lived in the FIJI house for four years. The last two years, I lived in the private basement room. (What a life). Ralph: Being one who has a problem focusing on more than one thing at a time, and the dream of “making it big” did make it difficult for me to give my school work the attention it needed. Although I was going to be a rock star and wouldn’t need algebra II, I had the benefit of learning from my FIJI brothers what it takes for success in school. After letting go of my rock and roll dream, I was able to put those lessons to good use and returned to OSU to enjoy success in my studies and go on to graduate school. SO: The Brothers of Sigma Omicron were shocked and saddened by the untimely ad astra passing of two of the original FIJI house band members. What recollections would you like to share with the brothers of Steve Edwards and Bill Douce? Robert: We never became famous, but it seems like we could almost do a VH1 show on “The Changing Times” band. For my freshman year, there were five of us in the band. It seems strange that two are gone. Bill Douce could probably have his own VH1 episode. The band’s relationship with Brother Douce was unusual in the fraternity setting. He was a fraternity “member” and the rest of us were pledges. In the band, we were “members”, and Douce was the “pledge.” None of us took Douce seri(Continued on page 4) FIJI PLEDGES WIN AGAIN! The new Sigma Omicron pledges recently won the 3rd Annual 2008 NUJI (Sigma Nu and Fiji combined) Cup, a basketball philanthropy between the pledges from Fiji and Sigma Nu at the YMCA. With standing room only, the crowd watched Fiji win for the third year in a row 31 to 30. The $500 proceeds from the game was donated to the American Red Cross. Get to know the new pledge class on page 5. \r\nPAGE 4 T HE S IG MA OMIC R ONIC LE FIJI HOUSE BAND STILL ROCKS ON continued... (Continued from page 3) ously in his role of fraternity “member.” He never really treated us like pledges. Douce was a decent drummer, although he never really took playing the drums seriously. We did our recording studio session with him, and his dad actually used his contacts to drum up some interest in our record. The band dropped the ball in following up with those contacts. Bill seemed like a regular guy, something different than what he became, but he was always on the edge in a way. He would always surprise us with something he would do. And like most drummers, he was not dependable, always late for everything and always having another distraction. He seemed to like the “rock star” lifestyle more than actually playing music. Losing Steve was another matter. We had continued to play several times over the years, and Steve was always part of that. He seemed to be more enthusiastic than ever. He always showed up with a van full of equipment. Hearing of Steve’s death was shocking. I consider it one of the worst things that has happened to me. Steve and I were good friends in high school as well. Ralph: Steve was a Mangum boy and his high school class just celebrated their 40th class reunion. We were honored to play for the mixer. Steve was the band personality. Without him, we are a pretty boring bunch on stage. He would interact with the audience with that DJ voice he did so well announcing each song with a huge grin. He was self taught and played bass guitar, trumpet, and keyboard. His unique vocal style still makes me smile. And what a dresser! A big fedora and keyboard tie come to mind. Steve was not a polished professional, none of us were, but whatever he lacked technically was made up by his love of performing. He left the band when he married and got serious about becoming Dr. Edwards. He was always ready for a band reunion. I miss him every time we play. SO: How important do you think rushing young men from small town America is for the well being of Sigma Omicron? There are at least a couple of band brothers at every FIJI event. Why do you attend regularly and what “take away” experiences do you appreciate? Rollie: Having spent the past 30 + years living in Stillwater, OKC, and now Tulsa has made me realize that a lot of people who end up in these cities were originally from small town OK. I have met so many great people from both the city and from small towns and I really see the benefits of blending these groups together. Because of lack of numbers, small towns allow and encourage people to really get involved in a lot of activities and become very well rounded as a result of this opportunity. Large cities allow a stronger competition, allowing excellence but in fewer activities. I look forward to the Pig Dinner every year. As I mentioned, my fraternity brothers are family and I sure wouldn’t miss a family reunion, so why miss The Pig? Jim: …the small town guys have real life experiences, they are generally hard workers, improvisers and less gullible, or distracted by negative influences at college. I think these guys may be a little rough around the edges sometimes, but are literally the salt of the earth. Just look at the success of Farmhouse and AGR…I enjoy seeing my friends and seeing how the house is progressing. I was very involved in the reorganization in the early 1990s, but don’t participate as much right now. I value the personal growth and positive experiences that young men can gain in college. The right kind of fraternity experience can be a springboard for the future of building relationships, risk-taking, business contacts, and success. Ralph: I think it is critical to include a good percentage of new pledges from small towns. We all benefit from associating with brothers with different backgrounds and talents, and we know from experience that quality leaders can be found in small towns. Bill Maas: Except for OKC, Tulsa, and Lawton, most of OK’s population is from small town America. I think it is important for a mix of the two to share their experiences. Mangum alone has at least 9 Sigma Omicron brothers, including two Chapter Presidents and several cabi- Robert Keating plays the keyboard. net members and rush chairmen. Having been living in VA and CA for the last 33 years, I have not been able to attend many events, but the ones that I have each left me with memories of old times and getting caught up with what is new in our lives. Robert: The “small town component” was important to the FIJI house in our time. We had a pretty large Mangum component, but there were others. We had leaders and contributing members in the house from Bartlesville, Madill, Clinton, Mangum, Stillwater, Muskogee, Yukon, El Reno, Altus, Ada, etc. The smaller town members probably bring a certain grounded and practical view of things to the house. I attend FIJI events when I can. For me, it’s always about seeing old friends. You never know who you might see. I’m never disappointed, except in myself if I don’t go. Just last Thursday, Sharon and I had dinner with Phil Webb, Craig Hicks, Greg Dennis, and Steve Dennehy, and spouses and girl friends. These were pledge brothers, except for Greg who came a year after…”not for college days alone”.

From sporting events to days out on the water, the rushees of 2008 got a taste of what fraternity life would have in store for them. As a result of careful consideration, the Sigma Deuteron pledge class has formed a unique bond in a short amount of time and shows great promise for the future success of the house.

(Continued from page 4) of some of the parties you performed for? Any fraternity or sorority event stand out in your mind? What particular FIJI house band moments do you remember; including the 35th Annual Norris Pig Dinner in OKC? Any thoughts of performing for Sigma Omicron’s upcoming 50th Pig Dinner? Rollie: Playing in Iba Hall in Spring Sing with a huge crowd was a lot of fun as was playing for packed crowds at the Mangum High School Alumni, which is the largest active Alumni in the US. Jim: I’d love to play for the 50th if the guys want us to. Bill Maas: We played for a sorority where one of the somewhat inebriated ladies played the tambourine so hard against her thigh that she was on crutches the next day! The custodian came up to me and warned that he would turn off the electricity if we played Jimi Hendricks’ version of “The Star Spangled Banner”! Robert: I remember Dance Hour my freshman year. I remember playing for FIJI parties in our basement. The dance floor was always packed. The house was crowded. Everybody had a good time. That’s a great venue for a band. You can’t beat that. We had a band and none of the other fraternities did. I thought that was cool. I remember playing for a party at the Sigma Nu house. It seemed strange that we were playing for the Sigma Nu’s. We played for a Muskogee High School 20th year reunion. That was a great party. Dennehy had talked us (Continued on page 6) \r\nPAGE 6 T HE S IG MA OMIC R ONIC LE YOUR MEMORABLE MOMENT = FREE PIG DINNER TICKET All FIJIs are ingrained with the phrase “not for college days alone”.

Good to hear from you, and again it was so great to see so many of the brothers after so many years (at the 45th Pig). Best of luck and hope to see you all at another Pig.” Ralph Heatly plays the guitar. (Continued from page 5) into doing it. By the end of the night, we had U.S. Senator Mike Synar doing the gator right in front of us and guys paying hundreds of dollars per song for us not to quit. Playing for the 50th…what a remarkable suggestion. I wonder what anyone younger than 50 would think. Ralph: We played for so many that they kind of run together but I remember we played for about every fraternity and sorority at one time or another. Many of the parties were at the houses, but others were at various rural locations like “party barns” or the old school in Ripley (?). As they say, “if you remember the 60s, you weren’t part of the 60s” and that may be true, or is it just the years? I do remember the Monday night dance hours. We were the only house with live music. That was great, but the band had to find other ways to meet sorority girls. Glad we could help the FIJI dance hour be a little special.(Note: Several Brothers met their sweetheart/wife at these dances…Brother Scott Roach met his wife, Marva at the first one. They still do a mean “mash potatoes” to “Mustang Sally”). The 35th Pig Dinner was a lot of fun. There was a good group of Brothers from our years there. As far as the 50th goes, if there is any interest in our being a small part of the festivities, I’m there!
