Vol. 2 No. 2 Oct/93 REFLECTIONS FROM THE PAST I frankly did not consider joining a fraternity in my first three years at Western because, with 4 brothers, I felt I had already lived in one. However, the fun we had in building our chapter was a very rich experience. I learned: Commitment: Without this, no one else would do the job for us; Salesmanship: We learned to believe in our product and sell it to new members/pledges; Responsibility: We were in charge of our destiny and the chapter at year's end was a reflection of our maturity; Teamwork: As we went through this experience, we gained a tremendous respect for the contribuions of each member and how, hopeless as individuals, we succeeded as a whole; Humour: Without humour, all is lost. To take the time to laugh and enjoy made our efforts produc tive and gave us the motivation to get together. John Franklyn Mills Perge! '66BA,'69MBA My fraternity experience was not one which began on an upbeat note. Mike Labossiere, Char les Hayward and myself were initiated in the fall of 1981. At that time we were burdened with a substanial debt and had only three other members who were going to continue academically after the end of the year. In order to make it a success, Mike and his assorted underworld friends continual ly threw parties on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. These parties were meant as rush tools and also provided much-needed financial help. Upon our next rush, we initiated four new members being: Steve Rush, David Plaxton, George Lock and John MacKinnon. These four men, along with Mike, made the core of a fraternity which, in fact, was able to start a turnaround. Non-stop parties, inter-fraternity sports, charity drives and participation in numerous other high profile events made Lambda Omega a success. The refurbishing of the house and the rushing of OTher good individuals made it one of the strongest on campus. In terms of quality of men, it was the strongest group of men I had known and, in fact, still is. Maybe the best measure of change that occurred over the four years that I lived in the house was in its elections. I was given the President's position uncontested in the same term that I years later, that position was hotly contested. Debate over the philosophic direction or the house was so strong that it caused the formation of factions and lobbying (at the time, there were approximately 40 members). 1/ \r\nAlthough my career has made it such that I have not participated in fraternity actions over the last few years. I have always thought it contributed most to my personal growth. It helped shape my post-graduate career (Law school and M.B.A.) and it shaped my friendships. Steven Rush and the other members of the fraternity who came to my wedding (1992) will always be considered life long friends certainly the closest I have met.

THE 1971 GAMMA BARBEQUE AND BARRY LLOYD Once upon a time, the house had a fastidious neighbour named Barry Lloyd, a teacher I think, who, along with being a good husband and father, was (overly it seemed to us) concerned with ' local property values and the effect that 627 was having on them.(Yes, there was a time when people actually lived in the houses around us). Relations were never exactly congenial with Barry but we tried hard to keep things presentable at least on the north side and stop Ken Fidlin from bouncing footballs off the hood of Barry's car. The low point, however, occurred when we had the Gammas over for a Sunday afternoon bar- beque. Tim Day and Dennis Wilson (Dill) did a great job of firing up the old brick barbeque pit that was just outside the kitchen window, up against BartV's property line. Amidst great billows of smoke, a fine time was had by all.... except, no one noticed that Barry had lefy his second story windows open nor that a south v/ind that day had carried two hours of barbeque smoke through them into his house, not to emerge until he and his family, dressed in their Sunday finest, returned and opened their front door! After several apologies, sincere but with laughter barely suppressed, since it all was rather funny, we even, as I recall, succeeded in pressing a beer into Barry's hand as a sign of goodwill However, he kept asking us for weeks after to let him know when the next barbeque was to be held. -Greg Stoddart THE GREAT SILVERWARE HEIST - 1970 The pledge class, led by George Isaac, was feeling playful.
