\- ■\ V Gamma Phri^Chaptcr of Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity at the Pennsylvania State University STATE COLLEGE, PA DECEMBER, 1981 RENOVATION FUND MAKES PROGRESS BUT MORE SUPPORT NEEDED Our Hummel Fishburn Lodge Renovation Program Fund Drive has made some progress since it was first announced earlier in the year. At present, we have received direct contributions and pledges in excess of $12 000. These contributions are enabling us to purchase new furniture for certain areas of the first floor at the House- rebuild and refinish other first floor furniture; and provide proper insulation in the ceilings of the older part of the House. There are other important needs as well. At the same time, we have incarred $75,000 in debt through a $25,000 first mortgage with Keystone National of Punxsutawney, and a $50,000 second mortgage loan through the National Fraternity. As you know, this money was desperately needed to pay for the basic House renovation -- roof, wiring, plumbing, heating, woodwork, plaster painting, floors, and other items. We have received tremendous value from our contractor. Jack Frost. However, repayment of these loans places a huge burden on the House Corporation and undergraduate chapters. We want to repay these loans as quickly as possible, particularly the first mortgage loan which has a term of 10 years and a current interest rate of 20%. If you have not already contributed, your contribution to the Renovation Fund is desperately needed. Please give to help Gamma Phi -- which means so much to us all. (See Page 3 for list of donors) And, please visit the Chapter House -- you will be amazed at the progress being made. Ha! Wilson '51 President, Board of Trustees Perge! House Corporation CHAPTER PRESIDENT'S REPORT high hopes Fiji has retained its position as one of the top houses of the 51 fraternities at Penn State. The renovation project has aU of us in high spirits, and the brotherhood is looking forward to making 1981 a banner year for Phi Gam. s0r goals for ourselves in the areas of scholastics, athletics, and philanthropy. Scholastically, we hope to con tinue our move towards the top of the fraternity rankings, which saw us vault past 23 other fraternities last year. Athleti cally, we are also off to a strong start, having captured more IM points this fall than any other fraternity in our quest for yet another Bischoff Trophy. And, under the supervision of Chip Parsons, we expect to better last year's efforts in the Second Annual Penn State-Pitt Fiji football run. Many bright spots surfaced during the course of the summer and through fall term. At the beginning of the sum mer, Gamma Phi was featured by "The Town & Gown" maga zine in a cover story. Brother R. W. Yeagley '50 is due thanks for giving us this added exposure. (Continued next column) Also, we opened up the Norris Pig Dinner to the wives and this change made the whole affair a little cheerier. Filially although rushing m an only partially completed lodge, we have been able to pledge at least 16 young men for our winter pledge class. The end of the fall term brought the ever exciting election of officers. Our new officers are; President Treasurer Recording Secretary . . . Graham C. Parsons '84 Michael D. Bellamen '84 Daniel L.

Major Renovations Restore Respect And Pride Newcomers To Fiji Island 1981 Fall Initiates As the newest brothers of Gamma Phi of Phi Gamma Delta, we can truly say that we have grown in many ways. From the warpaths of the purple men to the learnings of past Fijis, our experiences during the last fifteen weeks have made us both more worldly and more respectful. We are extremely proud to become a part of the best fraternity on the Penn State campus! Only several weeks into our pledging, we were introduced to the legendary Fiji Island. From the festivities beginning on a Wednesday night, we soon realized the many good times that lay ahead for us at the Lodge. The fame of the event was evident as great numbers of students watched our purple warriors roam the pathways of the campus. The brotherhood gave us our first taste of unity, as many of them became natives with us. With spring term finals behind us, and the advent of sum mer, our lodge began its biggest work project since the We returned this fall to a newly-renovated and beautiful Chapter House. As the weeks went by, we grew closer to addition of the new wing in 1959.

Portions of the lodge were still dependent on the original wiring, which was installed in 1915.

The age of the lodge and the materials of the inner walls made this situation especially dangerous. The wiring has now been replaced to meet modern safety standards. The Charles Andrew MacDougall Thomas Joseph Cornacchio current was also increased to meet the demands of a growing Robert Marsha!!Pinkham, Jr. brotherhood. Steam heating and plumbing problems caused similar damage to the lodge. Obvious radiator leaks, which were somewhat frequent, were not major problems because the problem could be diagnosed and remedied expeditiously. But when a problem occurred within a wall, the inside of the wall rotted before it ate its way through the plaster and could be seen.

Walls and ceilings had to be torn down, replastered and repainted. The tile floors had to be relaid, are what Homecoming is all about! and boxes for electrical outlets replaced. The little problems as well as the major renovations had to be resolved. The first floor was the target of cosmetic repairs as well as internal renovations. The most visible changes to the first Roy Bertolet '44 floor are the refinished woodwork and floors. The dining room and club room floors were stripped down to bare wood and refinished; also, the woodwork and floor in the reception room. The fireplace screen, presented by the Mothers' Club in 1938, was removed and re-fitted with a new wire mesh screen. The broken furniture was refurbished, and the landing of the main stairway was reinforced and recarpeted. The heads and showers had new lighting fixtures and plumbing fixtures installed. The sinks, tiles, and toilets were also replaced. The renovation project has not only made the lodge safer, but has improved its utility and efficiency, and installed a new sense of respect and pride in all Phi Gams. The Chapter Lodge cannot extend enough thanks to the Board of Trustees, Greg Peterson, and especially, Hal Wilson, for their unselfish donation of time and effort. Harry N.

For years, George Fraley Hutchinson '15 has had the distinction of being the oldest alumnus to most often return for Pig Dinner. Kissing the snout of the pig has not only been an honor for George; his presence has always honored us. This Homecoming was marred by George's absence, re sulting from an injury. He was sorely missed. George did send us a letter, however, which was read at the Dinner and served to inspire us all. For those of you who did not attend Pig Dinner, we include the text of George's letter. For those of you who did attend, his message bears repeating. "Dear Brothers — As a preface, may / explain why the following message. / decided that / should forego the festivities of Home coming with No. 87 coming up on Dec. 7th and too, on Sept. 8th / fell on the wet slippery sidewalk and badly broke my left wrist. No further explanation necessary — Greetings — Brothers, Pledges, Sisters and Sweethearts: that is quite a salutation but on the other hand / don't want to leave anyone out. / have had the pleasure of being in on several 'firsts' in tbe sixty-eight years of my being a Fiji of Gamma Phi Chapter and / am sorry to miss this gala occasion especially where the fairer sex is in attendance for the first time. As the saying goes — 'all good things must come to an end.' And that means the 'Die Porker'is going to miss me kissing his snout this year. / have enjoyed that part of the Pig Dinner but now someone else will have to go after my record of being the oldest alumnus back for the most number of times and to do the honors. My first big 'First' was having the pleasure of moving from the Old House in town up to the then new and present House on campus a week before Christmas vacation in 1915. My next first was having the pleasure to plant the ivy in the spring of 1916 - having been the only 'Ag'student in the chapter at that time. In 1968 / was asked by the Chapter President to replant where a few plants had not withstood the winter cold. The height of the ivy growth was in the early 1940's. My first Fall at State was In 1913 at which time there were 1652 students enrolled on campus and only 19 brothers in the Gamma Phi Chapter. I/Ve all certainly have grown. Undergrads make and cherish your friendships now, retain them after you're out into the wide, wide world. AH members try to keep in touch with your Fraternity, not only your Chapter. The Chapter House now known as 'The Hummel Fish- burn Lodge' was rightfully named as Hum did an untold amount of good for the Chapter and the Brothers. Best of luck with the Renovation Program. / hope a lot of the real necessities were taken care of during the past summer. / want to try to get up to the House before the snow gets too deep. / hope you all understand that / had to vent my feelings as Gamma Phi has meant a great deal to me over the years. Thank you all for listening and thank you Brother George Stewart for being my mouthpiece. May the good Lord be with you all now and always." Fraternally and Sincerely Yours, George Fraley Hutchinson '15 Brothers Honored At Pig Dinner Homecoming to a Penn State Fiji brother means the Nittany Lions, parades, and a weekend of festivities. But, most importantly, it means the annual Frank Norris Pig Dinner. Our successful Homecoming '81 weekend began on Friday evening, with a welcome back party for all alumni, family, and friends. On Saturday morning, the alumni association held their board meeting here at our "Hummel Fishburn Lodge." The main discussion related to our house renovation. This renovation, begun during summer break, started a little later than was anticipated, and by fall term was only halfcompleted. (It was like living in a construction site!) How ever, the house is finished now, and every inconvenience was well worth it. A special thank you is due brother Hal "Brooms" Wilson, without whom none of this renovation would have been possible. After an easy 38-7 victory over Boston College, alumni, wives and brothers returned to the house for a post game mixer. Next, we all headed for the Toftrees Country Club for the evening's festivities. Brother George "Bucco" Stewart served as toastmaster. Awards were presented, with the Alumni Distinguished Service Award going to brother Hal Wilson. Brother Kevin Adamek '81 received the Jack E. Krumrine Award for Outstanding Intramural Athlete, and the Outstanding Non Officer Senior Award went to Brother David Shields '81. The Outstanding Senior Officer Award was given to Kevin Murray '81. Brother Dave Joyner '72 delivered the key address. This year we broke two longstanding traditions. First, the wives attended the pig dinner. All the alumni and the brothers seemed to feel that the wives added to the enjoy ment of the dinner. Secondly, I am very sorry to say that Brother George F. Hutchinson '15 was unable to attend, due to an injury. Brother Hutchinson has held the honor of kissing the pig's snout for many years. Brother Hutchin son took the time to write a very inspiring letter, which was well received by the brotherhood. "This year. Brother Roy D. Bertolet '44 held the honor of kissing the snout. How ever, George, we expect to see you kissing that pig next year! I would like to thank all alumni who attended, and the brothers who helped me with the responsibilities of Home coming Weekend.
