Volume 124, Issue 42 dailytarheel.com Thursday, May 12, 2016 Families 2016 graduates turn their tassels remember fire after 20 years The fire at a UNC fraternity house took the lives of five students Katie Reeder and Felicia Bailey Senior Writers

On May 12, 1996, a day meant for celebration — graduation, Mother’s Day — the Phi Gamma Delta house caught fire after a cigarette was thrown in the garbage. Benjamin Watson Woodruff, Robert Joshua Weaver, Joanna Howell, Mark Briggs Strickland and Anne McBride Smith — all UNC students — lost their lives in the fire. Ron Binder, director of Greek Affairs in 1996, got a phone calling telling him there had been a fire at the Phi Gamma Delta house. “It was just burning up the building so fast there wasn’t anything left of the building,” he said.

The class of 2016 was celebrated at the spring commencement ceremony at Kenan Memorial Stadium Sunday morning. His parents saw on TV there had been a fire in Chapel Hill. His father, Leon Woodruff, got a call telling him their son was missing and that 35,000 people attended the ceremony on May 8. his car was parked outside the Phi Gamma Delta house. He and his wife, Bonnie Woodruff, got in Jamie Gwaltney class than any other. Nell Irvin Painter and Sister Blue Graduation distributed the car and headed to Chapel Hill.
