ft Bw.ckeye Fiji Omicron Deuteron Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity at The Ohio State University January 1993 Columbus, Ohio Renovations New Pledge Class and New Cabinet Bring Positive Changes to the Chapter Completed at Dickenson Lodge By David M.Simon '92, President Presently, the Omicron Deuteron Chapter is changing in both membership and leadership. Of the original fall pledge class of over 30 men,23 pledges will be initiated in early Januaiy. At this time, a new and extremely capable cabinet will be at the helm. In the first week of January, the fall pledge class initiation will provide an almost 50 percent increase in paying members. This will be the largest pledge class to become active in over five years and, what is even more encouraging, these future members uphold the quality and standards for which the chapter is known. The work is not finished, however,and it will be the responsibility of the new cabinet and rush chairs to keep the ball rolling in an informal rush.Pledging between 15 and 20 members in the spring is by no means an unattainable goal. A new cabinet has been elected and they are strong and eager. I feel that they will be successful in further strengthening this great chapter. Much of the chapter's recent success can be attributed to the support of you,the graduate brothers. We at Omicron Deuteron,strongly encourage you to become more involved with the fraternity by attending Monday night dinners and the golf tournament in the spring. For information on how you can get more involved, please contact Patrick Pagan at(614)291-8714. Perge By Patrick J. Clark '94, Corresponding Secretary Great accomplishments have been achieved at Phi Gamma Delta since the spring of 1992. House manager Mike Roeder '93, under the supervision of the House Corporation,led a renovation team in completing $10,000 worth of improvements to Dickenson Lodge including: painting the house interior and front pillars; refurnishing and recarjjeting the television room; blacktopping the parking lot; landscaping the front yard; and installing window security bars and new main entrance locks. Much thanks goes to Rick Smudz'75 for his efforts in collecting donations for a new pool table and outdoor grill. All of these improvements helped us with our main focus for the new school year, which was fall rush. As the result of the hard work of the active chapter directed by Tom Wiggers'92 and Walter Null President Coiresponding Secretary Shawn Blake'93 Robert Braver '93 Steubenville, Ohio Charlotte, N.C.
