164 Diversity in GREEKS

165 Faculty Picnic

The beautiful sunny skies and warm weather complemented the First Annual Greek and Faculty Picnic held near Robinson Hall on Saturday afternoon during Greek Week. The event was successful, as the object was to better relations with the university faculty and adminis- tration. Hotdogs, hamburgers, soda, frisbees and footballs all added to the casual friendly atmosphere. Members of fraternities and so- rorities chatted with their profes- sors, as well as their families. Not only was the barbecue for mingling with faculty, but also for the groups to get together and check out their opponents for the Greek Games competition to be held the next day.

Male ballerinas wrapped up in plastic garbage bags, guys in box- er shorts and dinner jackets, girls with teased hair spray-painted pink, and three extremely short dancing girls: these were just a few of the characters performing in The Greek Gong Show. Held each year during Greek Weekend, this event gives pledges from each sorority and fraternity a chance to get up on stage and execute crazy and un- usual acts. This gives them the op- portunity to promote spirit and unity among the members of their group. However, the Gong Show was put on a back burner when the fire alarms sounded near the end of the festivities forcing everyone to evacuate the Student Center Underground. Said Anne Marie Tierney, ac- tivities chairperson for Panhellen- ic Executive Board: "A lot of peo- ple were really disappointed about the mishap, but it was one of the better Gong Shows in some time. There was so much excite- ment and it really exemplified the spirit of the weekend." — Tara Talmadge

The goal of the Rho Dueteron Chapter of is to promote friendship, brotherhood, ambition, and idealism. With 75 brothers, the fraternity is repre- sented in many other activities such as ROTC, CFP, Hillel, Order of Omega Honor Society, and in- tramural sports. AEPi's are a socially active group hosting mixers, tailgates, Blow Outs I and II, and a weekend formal at the Downingtown Inn. Once again, the brothers held the annual Bucaneer's Brawl, a long- time tradition in which they trans- form the entire house into a 'Trea- sure Island" theme. While AEPi has an active social life, they feel academics are a ma- jor part of the fraternity. For nine consecutive years, the fraternity boasts the highest GPA on cam- pus. The chapter has helped the community through various char- ity events including The United Way Dance, the university can drive, and visitation to the Kutz Senior Citizen Home. A big change is in store for the chapter next year. Ep- silon will return to their old home on Main Street, which had been rented to AEPi. The brothers are now in the process of relocation.

The Lambda Beta chapter, in its 22nd year at the university, holds a variety of beliefs and interests, but all are brought together by the bonds of friendship that come from working and partying to- gether. Lambda Chi Alpha is repre- sented in CFP, DUSC, Order of Omega Honor Society, Army and Air Force ROTC, and sports in- cluding lacrosse, track, and hock- ey. This year, the brothers raised $1,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation during the fraternity's first annual "Bounce For Breath" fundraiser. Sixty members drib- bled basketballs from their chap- ter house at 163 W. Main St. through the streets of Wilmington and Chester, Pa., until they reached the Philadelphia Spec- trum. The brothers also sold $500 worth of Halloween Ghost Insur- ance to local residents. For a small sum, the Lambda Chi's did odd jobs such as cleaning soapy win- dows. This money was donated to the American Cancer Society. The brothers kept up a full so- cial calendar, hosting an annual Halloween party, St. Patrick's Day party, Homecoming festivities, mixers, date parties, and a spring weekend in Wild wood, N.J.

Phi Sigma Sigma, the newest sorority on campus, has grown to over 80 members. As a social so- rority, the sisters have enjoyed a family tailgate, a homecoming tail- gate, a blind date hayride, a Christmas dance, mixers, and the Spring Sapphire Ball. Phi Sigma Sigms sponsored ac- tivities during the year to raise money for the National Kidney Foundation. Representing various honor societies, the Phi Sigs strive to build themselves academically. For the second year, Phi Sigma Sigma captured first place for women in Greek Games. In addi- tion, Spring Zuegner won first for the women's division in the Greek Goddess Competition during Greek Week. — Tara Talmadge

Greeks 187 Council of Fraternity Presidents

The Council of Fraternity Presi- dents is the governing body of the university fraternal community. It is a forum to increase interaction between the fraternities, an op- portunity to conduct business, ex- change ideas, and promote friendship between individuals. The organization is involved with the maintenance of relation- ships between Delaware's frater- nities, the administration, campus, and the Newark community. CFP programs events for the benefit of the surrounding community and the excitement of students, inde- pendents as well as Greeks. It is an active body waiting for every- one's involvement.

President Tom Boettcher conducts the CFP meeting as secretary Don D'Eramo takes down the minutes.
