irvYX THE PI SIGMA ASSOCIATION JOURNAL Pi Sigma Chapter Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity VOLUME FOUR E s t. 1917 SPRING 1992 Graduates Rally to the Call of the Chapter The Pi Sigma Association extends sincere "Thanks!" to all the Graduate Brothers who have taken it upon themselves to help preserve the Pi Sigma Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity at the University of Pittsburgh! During 1990 the Association received just over $600.00 in Graduate contributions. In 1991 the Assiciation received just over $2700.00 in Graduate contributions. So far in 1992, the Association has received over $4300.00 in cash contributions with an additional cash pledge of over $5700.00 from Graduates who have realized that Phi Gamma Delta is not for college days alone! The Pi Sigma Association has been actively striving to keep our Chapter alive and well at PITT. With the 75th Diamond Pig Dinner behind us, we can look back at our achieve ments and look forward to our future. From the experience of our celebration, it is evident that Pi Sigma Brothers are truly concerned about our Chapter. The underlining statement of Graduates is that we need to actively keep in contact with each other. While this lays the foundation of our Graduate association, we need to ask each other, "What can we do keep 4725 Wallingford going?!" The Pi Sigma Association is always an open ear to your suggestions and recommendations. There is far more knowledge and experience among the 1000+ Graduates than the Pi Sigma Assiociation has to offer. We are not AT&T, IBM, or the Department of Defense... we're just a group of young guys trying to keep good oT Delta as an active Chapter. These young guys want to do right by Pi Sigma, and we thank you active Graduate Brothers for doing your share. Thanks for the rally, and keep it going! You make the Pi Sigma Association mighty proud!
