It was started to meet the needs of our chapter house. It has resulted in bringing many graduate brothers back into contact with the undergraduate chapter, making Lambda Nu a stronger fraternity and renewing many friendships. Thank you, again,for the continued support. Joe Skradski Perge' \r\nGraduate Efforts Improve Chapter House Brothers, The Lambda Nu House Corporation Board has had a busy and produc tive year at the Chapter House. This past summer we invested approxi mately $10,000 to make necessary plumbing, electrical and cosmetic repairs. We also partially renovated the house mother's quarters due to water damage and obtained free carpeting for the second and third floors. I'd like to thank Scott Thompson '94 for procuring the carpet ing for us. I would like all brothers to seriously consider donating to the capital campaign as we are practicing a band-aid policy to the house at this time which is proving to be quite costly but necessary. I would also like to thank all the Graduate and Undergraduate Brothers who donated time to help with the repairs. The board has also been very active in providing a leadership role for the undergraduates. In the past this vital role has been filed by a BCA (Board of Chapter Advisors) and we are going to make an effort in 2010 to form a new BCA group that would meet quarterly with the undergraduate cabinet to assist in an advisory role. Over the past year we've made great strides and have helped craft,"Lambda Nu: The Way Forward". This is a simple goal setting document for the undergradu ates to follow in the years ahead. It also unites many of our tradi tions with the realities of today's college environment. If any graduate brothers have interest in serving on the BCA and are dedicated to its success please contact me at 402-212-7374 or john@ 14karatomaha. com Lastly,I would admonish all of you who have not yet contributed to the capital campaign to do so. For Lambda Nu to continue to succeed at UNL we need an all out effort from every brother. I would remind all of you,that the chapter house is a symbol of our legacy on campus and it is YOUR house. You should feel welcome within her walls always. Fraternally, John Osterholm '95 President, Lambda Nu Corporation Board PERGE!

As a helicopter pilot and Detachment Commander the unit Wes led was responsible for the evacuation of over 2000 coalition forces and civilians from the battlefield. For his actions.

The brothers hosted a philanthropy poker tourna ment to benefit the Humane Society and we were once again chosen to be a part of the UNL Greek Leadership Summit. As part of the summit members of the Greek community visited our house for a fire simulation and discussion on member safety. Along with these special events we had a full slate of homecoming,intramural, and scholarship activities. We are now past spring break and concentrating on finishing the year strong. The rush chairmen have added 4 second semester pledges that are all living in the house. Another charity event is planned that will involve all the Greek houses and their housemothers to raise money for the Lincoln Food Bank. In addition to their regular course loads several members are also setting a great example across campus. Will Grubb is co-hosting a sports radio show on the campus radio station KRNU 90.3 called "Sports Dude". Chris Benner is part of a national competition called Design, Build, Fly which is being held by the Aeronautics and Astronautics Association. The competition culminates with the testing of the groups plane design. Brother Jordan Mireaul has been accepted as a summer intern for the Special Olympics which will be held in Lincoln.
