By: Will Shteamer ’11 and David Larson ’12, Rock Chalk Revue Directors This year the Pi Deuteron participated in Rock Chalk Revue (RCR), a philanthropy event for the Lawrence chapter of the United Way.# RCR is a variety show where each fraternity pairs up with a sorority to write and produce an original musical.# After an initial selection process, where only the top 5 shows pass, the houses produce their musicals.# It raised#about $60,000-70,000 dollars this year, with over 4,000 people in attendance.# Along with the women of Gamma Phi Beta, directors David Larson (2012) Will Shteamer (2011) and Matt Mullender (2010) created a musical good enough to make it into the Revue for the first time in several years.# In addition, our show won the Audience Choice Award! I would estimate that each director put in at least 250 hours into the show, and that each cast member#put in about 100 hours into the show. Show Synopsis: In fair Lawrence, where we lay our scene, reside two feuding families, the Sandiegos and the Wallingtons. The Sandiegos are led by the strong-willed duo of Tony and Anita Sandiego, while the steadfast William and Wenda Wallington lead the Wallingtons. There is no issue too small or inconsequential that the families can’t bicker about. Above: David Larson ’12, Will Shteamer ’11, and Matt Mullender ’10 gather after the show for a “Directors” photo Below: Ron Jury ’12 and David Larson ’12 show off their muscles while building the set in the basement the week prior to the performance " As the feud transcends the generations, our star-crossed lovers, Carmen and Waldo, are struck between loyalty to their families or to their love of each other. The two contemplate a new life, far away from their quarreling families. Thus, Carmen and Waldo decide to flee to a secret location. The young lovers confide in the friendly, eccentric baker, Thom, to help them on their journey. " Needless to say, the Sandiegos and Wallingtons are beside themselves in wondering where in the world Carmen and Waldo really are. Their parents immediately blame each other, not wishing to break with tradition. But, determined to find their siblings, the younger generations reconcile their differences and unite to search full speed ahead for Carmen and Waldo. Will Carmen and Waldo finally be found? Will the families resolve their differences? Left: David Larson ’12, Will Shteamer ’11, and Matt Mullender ’10 celebrate the night that FIJI found out it was accepted into the RCR variety show.

We feel that in the past the undergraduate chapter has done a disservice to the raduate Brothers with The Jayhawker. We have often rushed to put it together and get it out. In an effort to increase relations, we took extra time on this edition and we hope that you notice and enjoy this. In return, we ask you, the Graduate Brothers, to give us feedback on The Jayhawker and any other topics you have advice about. We’ve listed all of our emails and telephone numbers. Please feel free to contact us at any time. You all should have received a letter in early March. The purpose of this was twofold. First, it was meant to supply you with a quick update while we put together this newsletter. Secondly, it was sent out so that we can consolidate the mailing lists (i.e. wrong addresses, relocations, deaths). We are still in the process of editing the list. Obviously if you did not receive that letter, please contact us so that we can update your information. Additionally, if you would like an email or hard copy of the mailing list, do not hesitate to let us know. It has been a pleasure speaking with all of the Graduate Brothers who have gotten in contact with me this semester. I’ve gained some insight into things that can better the programs that we have in place right now. It also has increased my morale knowing that I have all of your support.Mighty Proud!

Phi Gamma Delta is known for consistently providing a safe, positive, and fun social atmosphere within the Greek community. With notable parties such as Fiji Island, The Renaissance Festival, Crawfish Broil and Monster Truck Jam, it’s easy to see that Phi Gamma Delta is high up on the social ladder. Each of these parties contain they’re own unique theme and environment. Having parties such as these allow us to interact with other houses on campus while creating bonds and friendships that will last for years.

This semester we’ve had many mixers with the local sororities, such as Chi Omega, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Gamma Phi Beta, and Pi Beta Phi. While scholarship is sure the biggest priority at FIJI, we definitely value our weekends and the chance to meet and greet with the women of KU. The undergraduates are sure looking forward to our Formal which will be held in a couple weeks at the Lake of the Ozarks.
