Pledge Education has dwindled in the past years, but Joel Hutcheson boosted the program to a new height this year. And I feel that the chapter is very fortunate that, with help of the purchase of some new equipment, our Ritual has changed from an overlooked formality to an inspirational privilege. I have worked closely with Brian Jeter, our House Manager, to improve our house, and as a result, our chapter room has im proved immensely. We have purchased a tele vision which we mounted on the wall, some new furniture, and a beautiful oriental rug. These additions along with a newly refinished floor have created a much more welcoming atmosphere.

Fight Yellow Beaks Farting Shots You probably don't want to hear anymore of this glorified propaganda that is as dry as The Phi Gamma Delta Magazine. HampdenSydney has not changed except for a few cosmetic appearances. Brinkley, Craw ford, and Crawley are still kicking (students that is), and the fraternities still have the same reputations. Fiji has kept a good reputation with the students as well as the administration and we are the most diverse and probably the friendliest on campus. Theta Chi is still beach oriented, Pika is football, and the Sigs can rot in hell for all we care. Now comes the old pitch. You probably think, 'Well, I graduated years ago and they have changed or can do without me.' Remember, "not for college days alone!" We have a great pledge class who are Well, it looks like we've got eight 'yellow beaks'" stated Franklin Clemmcr, this year's Rush Chairman, as he announced the results of pledge day. Delta Deuteron is proud to proclaim that Messrs. Donald Joseph Otey,Jr., Warren Paul Dumford, Daryl Wayne Taylor, Earl Winston Morris, Jr., Fredric Hamilton Cox, 111, Samuel Gilliland Layton, III, Christopher Michael Nicklo, and John Robert McGhee, Jr. are now proudly wearing the White Star as pledges of Phi Gamma Del ta. The goal of our pledge education program is to de velop in each pledge a love, pride, and respect for the traditions and ideals of our fraternity, and so far we've been more than graduate brothers floating around, we hope to hear pleased with the spirit of the pledge class. The ap parent success of the program is due to the participa tion of the entire brotherhood in pledge education, something lacking in years past. Brothers and from you.
