Way to go man. I also wanted to let those of you who really care that Mark was not an AE as Scott so terribly pointed out. He was a member of the AH class and we are proud to see that some of us really can "grow up". I also wanted to warn everyone that durring homecoming, if you feed me enough of the barley pop, the riverdance may come out in full force. Think about it...who wants it? Who wants it? Come and get some. Scott Coffey - AH Posted by: Rob Melberth Email: robmelberth@comcast.net Subject: BJ gettin hitched!?!? A big congrats to BJ and the whole Johnson clan. Oh, and SJ, you're married?!?!? Wow!! Posted by: Scott Johnson Email: scott.johnson@ge.com Subject: update For those of you who have not heard we have some big news: Fatty (aka Mark Johnson - AE) is now engaged to his lady (Amy Carducci - Theta). Who would ever have thought that this day would come...but he did it. They are living together down in Tucson and looking at a Fall wedding. Good work to those of you setting up the homecoming tent. It will go a long way towards re-colonizing if we show a lot of local alumni support (and organized support). I'm not happy that I will be unable to attend this year, but keep up the good work. I'm still out here in San Diego with my wife and moving into the new house we just bought. Make sure to look me up if you are out this way.

Posted by: Scott John Email: scottynitro@hotmail.com Subject: drinking Adam, give me a ring if theres anything I can do to help with homecoming. I have loads of spare time seeing as I'm living at home with my parents and I don't have a job to speak of. But don't worry, I am gonna have a great lie made up of the great job I have and all the money I am making to tell everyone at homecoming. Looking forward to tippin' a few back and getting old school drunk again. SJ Posted by: Patrick Buckley Email: patcbuckley@yahoo.com Subject: Congrats Madison! Adam, I ran into your sister randomly in SF on the Muni a few months back. She had mentioned that you were getting married. A little late but I wanted to say congrats! Hope all is well. Cheers. Posted by: Rob Melberth Email: robmelberth@comcast.net Subject: Homecoming Nice work Adam, way to show some innitiative (sp?) I hope to see some old faces in the fall, and Dirtbags, I miss DBags too. Posted by: Adam Livingston Email: adliv42@hotmail.com Subject: Homecoming Just an update on homecoming- I have been working on getting a Pike homecoming tent for us. I had to utilize my phenomenal sales skills to pull some strings, so that they would give us an extension. I was able register us, so we should have a tent. I am talking about a real tent, next to all of the other tents, not some make-shift shanty amongst the RV's. Anyway, there is still some work to do as far as registering for an alcohol and so fourth, which is due in October. We also need to figure out if we are going to want anything else, i.e., food and or/dj. Personally, I am thinking we go sand wall to wall, I know a great sand guy, who can get it at price. But seriously, if we can get a some guys to throw in some $$, it should be pretty good. We also need someone, that will be in Tucson, to go to a mandatory meeting in the fall- I think OCt. This should be good- I hope we have a big turn-out this year. PHI PHI, Adam Livingston "AH" Posted by: Mike Ellis Email: mkellis02@hotmail.com Subject: Re-colonization? Hello fellow Pikes. My name is Mike Ellis and I am transfering to U of A from Southern Illinois University. I had high hopes of joining the Chapter here but have realized that your chapter, just as mine at SIU, has been pulled from underneath you. I have read through the message board and seen rumors of re-colonization for the 2005-2006 school year. I was curious if this was still going to be possible and if so, what can I do to help. If anyone has information on this or can help me get into contact with someone who does, I would more than appreciate it.

Also, you won't run me in if I show up with some illegal fireworks, right? -Hardenbrook Posted by: Graig Wells Email: Subject: hey Don't worry guys, I'm still really good looking. Wells AE Posted by: James Neal Email: Subject: Graig Wells I heard from a fairly reliable source yesterday that Graig Wells has been ring shopping lately for a diamond to give to Amy. Between this and his new occupation patrolling the streets of Tucson in Car Ram-Rod, there is officially no trace any longer of the old Wells we used to know in college. Posted by: Grant Harrison Email: grantmichaelharrison@yahoo.com Subject: JOURNEY! I'm getting a group together for the Journey concert this Sunday the 26th in Irvine if anyone is in the area and interested. I don't know if it will top the '02 Tucson concert for those of you who went, but what would? Also, pre party at my place, it's gonna be wilder than Omaha Spring Break '87! -Harrison PS- "The whistles go whoo whoo!" Posted by: Scott Coffey Email: Subject: Late Night TV I'm sorry I haven't heard from some of you in quite a while, but John Barry, I have to put your business out on the street. Last night I was watching some TV and saw John on one of those MTV "Date My Mom" dating shows. John did his thing and had to go out with some really ugly mothers, but I must say that he chose the hottest daughter of the three. Well done Johnny. Give a brother a call and maybe we can go out and find you a woman who is of age here in Scottsdale. I know you like 'em young and impressionable, but John, let's try to keep it legal homie. For those of you who are in PHX, give a brother a call when you get a chance. I moved down here about a month ago. Fraternally, Scott Coffey Posted by: Graig Wells Email: graigwells@hotmail.com Subject: Madison Wedding Fellas, For those of you who have not heard, Adam Madison was married to Lindsay Clark on 6/11/05. The ceremony took place in San Diego, with 9 pikes in attendance. It was a lot of fun for all involved, and great to see the boys....congratulations Adam. Morowitz, that priest comment was hilarious. If anybody is in Tucson call me I am here... Posted by: scoot Email: Subject: CATS CWS: CAL-STATE FULLERTON Anybody else catch the Cats in the regionals in the College World Series vs. Cal State-Fullerton....what's with our teams this year???...We can't catch a break. Next year lets make sure that we get the first round at home over at Sancet. Let's make it happen!! Posted by: Hardenbrook Email: mjharden1@aol.com Subject: Move Brothers!!!, Paul was right, open bar, always a bonus for having to watch your brother make that step. Anyway, just thought I'd let everyone know that I am moving to London in September. So if anyone makes to that side of the pond look me up. Morowitz a priest, huh, all that praying to the porcelain god in college paid off for you. Patti, will keep a look out for the first issue. Mike Hardenbrook Alpha Gamma - Fall '98 Posted by: Morawitz Email: mmorawiitz@hotmail.com Subject: Wells is a cop... Anything can happen in life. In response to Wells move, I've decided to give up real estate and become a priest. If he can do it, so can I. Also, stop getting married, it's annoying. Posted by: Berman Email: HHoody@hotmail.com Subject: CWS Hey congrats to Adam Madison on taking one for the team Anyone from the oc area going to the CWS in Fullerton this weekend? Posted by: James Neal Email: Subject: Drew Baxter Also, Drew Baxter started the second half of his Officer Candidate School (boot camp for Officers) last Saturday morning with the US Marines. He can use all the encouragement anyone cares to offer, so give him a call and leave messages of support if you can. Stationed at the same Marines base in Maryland is 2nd Lieutenant Sean Koffel, who hopefully will take care of Drew any chance he gets. My congratulations, admiration and support to both Drew and Sean. JN Posted by: James Neal Email: jrnea17@yahoo.com Subject: Adam Madison Wedding For those of you who haven't heard, Adam Madison, our former VP and Pledge Class Motivational Speaker ("There's a little thing called WORK ETHIC, guys, and you don't have any!"), is getting married on June 11th in La Costa to Lindsay Clark. It's not quite as surprising as JC getting married, or the fast approaching Graig Wells engagement, or even the fact that Wells in now a Police Officer with the Tucson Police Department, but none the less it's pretty unbelievable. Congratulations to Adam & Lindsay. JN Posted by: Big D Email: Subject: CATS CWS Anyone heading to see the cats in the College World Series, if so, give me a shout back! At my PHX. number.

Posted by: Joe Patti Email: pdpj33@aol.com Subject: Long Time No Talk Bros, Just wanted to drop a line and let everyone know what whats happenin here in Phoenix. Glad to see Melberth is making something of his life. Congrats to JC getting married, I have recently passed both Wells and his number, if you know what I mean.

I'm living in NJ, where I've been since I left school in 93, and working in Portfolio Management at Bank of America in NY. My wife Tracie and I had a beautiful baby girl (Sophia) in September. I was back in Tucson a couple of times, most recently for homecoming in 2003. I've been back in touch with Danny Lopez, Goa (Marc) Lobaugh, and Dustin Johnson. I still have a house out there and hope that we'll have a chance to visit the Pike house again (hopefully soon). Wouldn't it be great to walk back through that door? For everyone that is working to make that happen, thank you. Once a Pike, always a Pike. Phi Phi, Dominic (Omicron, 92)
Posted by: Madison Email: Subject: no name brother So how's law school papa bear. No need to call a bro lazey. Madison Posted by: Mike LaVance Email: malavance@hotmail.com Subject: Thanks I just wanted to thank SJ, Luke, Ken and RK for getting that spot on the mall for homecoming. You guys are definitly not as lazy as Adam and Oliver. It was great to see everyone and relive college life for a few days. For those that are about to graduate, good luck. For those that will still be around a while, youre lucky. As sad as it sounds Iam still questioning why I was in such a hurry to graduate because that was honestly one of the best weekends I have had since last May. phi phi, LaVance Posted by: Scott John Email: scottynitro@hotmail.com Subject: homecoming For anyone that is going to be coming down for homecoming this year Ryan Kelly, Ken, Luke and I have purchased a spot in the tailgating section. We couldn't get a tent on the mall, but this is the next best thing. Hope to see lots of you guys down there, should be a drunken blast. - SJ P.S. Bring beer Posted by: Bryan Johnson Email: bdjohnson11@cox.net Subject: Catching up I am glad to see the site is back up. For those of you who don't already know, Scott is engaged and set to be wed in Phoenix in April....I think Mark might be falling soon after. He is actually thinking about relocating back...that's right back to Tucson for his girlfriend. I don't think this is the same MJ that we all came to know and love. I see Morawitz, Krewson, and some of the crew in Scottsdale. Just got a message and my big Bro Fowler has finally finished dental school and is back practicing in Tempe. Moran is married, Phillips still might be gay and Reum is definitely Gay!! If anyone is up for watching the cats try to get a victory somewhere in Scottsdale give me a ring. Always up for College Footbal on Saturdays PHI PHI BJ Posted by: Mauricio Delgado Email: mauricio.delgado@red.gd-ots.com Subject: Checking in This is the first time I've checked in. Sad news about the house but a fresh start is sometimes a good thing. I have faith that Pikes will be back. I live in Seattle. I'm an engineer working for General Dynamics Precision Systems. Its fun stuff. I left active duty Navy in 2000 and was recalled for Homeland Defense 9 months later. I'm still in the Navy Reserves working for the Office of Naval Research. Look me up in Seattle if you are in town. -Mauricio Delgado (Mu) Posted by: Chris Lofft Email: clofft@baseproductions.com Subject: touching base Hi to all, You lose touch for a little while, and the whole chapter ups and dissapears. Its pretty sad to imagine 1525 not filled with Pikes, but hopefully we'll be back. I've been living in Washington, DC since school (1995). Worked in politics a bit, and a quick stint in commercial real estate. But for the past five years I have been working as a television producer. Covered Michael Jordan's return to basketball for ABC Sports, but now do mostly documentaries for Discovery Channel and National Geographic. Just got back from Mexico with NatGeo, and hit England and France next month for a series I'm producing. Don't see many Pikes here in D.C., but did see Tim Del Monte and Kelly last winter. My girlfriend and I hit the clubs and bars with them and got thuroughly wrecked. The difference now is the three day hangover. I also caught up with many brothers at Chad Clark's wedding in Phoenix in July '03. Other then that, just working and living in D.C. Hope everyone is doing well, and if you end up in D.C., drop me a line. I also hear the Jeff Ralph may be in Paris working. If anybody has details, I'd love to test the cuisine when I'm there next month on business. Take care. -Lofft
Posted by: Email: Subject: You're Lazy Oliver and Adam, The alumni tent doesn't happen by itself. You need to register a space with the University, pay for a tent rental and sign a waiver. You may still be able to get it taken care of for this year, but i doubt it. Here is the number for the alumni association. 800-232-8278. They should be able to help you with the arrangements. Everything can be done over the phone or by fax, so you don't have to be in Tucson to put this together. Our chapter has traditionally had very few people willing to coordinate this effort, but it would be apprecaited by many if one of you two could manage the task or find someone who will.
Posted by: Adam Livingston Email: adliv42@hotmail.com Subject: Homecoming Do we have an alumni tent for homecoming or what? Did someone in Tucson set that up? Let us know whats going on. Posted by: Drew Baxter Email: amb@email.arizona.edu Subject: Hey guys Hey fellas, I just saw that the website was back up and I thought I would drop a quick line. First off, Congrats JC, thats unreal man. To all of my pledge bro's who overachieved and graduated last spring, I hope the real world is treating you well, quitters.... I'm still in Tucson for my fifth and hopefully final year. I recently completed my first half of Officer Candidates School for the Marine Corps this past summer. It wasn't too bad, in fact parts of it reminded me of being a poop again. I liked it so much that I'm going back again next summer to finish up, then hopefully its off to pilot training. Sean Koffel will also be going to Marine Corps OCS in January, so if you see him or talk to him, give him a word or two of encouragement. To address the recent problems with Sigma Pi and the old house at 1525, I believe that what occured were nothing more than a few isolated incidents that will not occur again. With that said, I was pretty upset to see a different fraternity in our house, but I suppose it is a better situation than the alternative (boarded up with bums desecrating the inside of the house). I hope everybody is doing well, and if you are still in Tucson or just stopping by for a visit, give me an email sometime or call me at (443)250-7141 to catch up over a beer or eight. Also if any of you get a chance, you should give Dottie and Ray a call, I'm sure it would mean a lot to them. Call me or email me and i'll give you the number.

Phi Phi Oliver Posted by: Graig Wells Email: graigwells@hotmail.com Subject: Engagement I hope you guys are sitting down when you read this, because I have some shocking news.

It has happened before and it can happen again. Just ask the Mighty Seven. I hope you younger guys heed Adam's words. Ill will now is not going to do anyone any good. Do as Adam says, and show up everyone who doubted you guys. The other reason for my post is that I'm looking for a Brother-Lawyer in Phoenix. Specifically someone who can advise/pursue a construction type of problem. (My business was screwed out of a government contract by someone who did not bid per plans and specs. - therefore they came in at a much lower price and got the job.)

Get in touch w/me if you'd like to meet up Mike Posted by: Scott Coffey Email: sac@email.arizona.edu Subject: Alumni Status Gamma Delta Brothers, I am writing this posting in response to feelings and conclusions that I have come to recently as the year gets underway without the house in our daily activities. It seems to me that when we joined this fraternity, we did so with the intentions of becoming part of something that we would be proud to call our own for the rest of our lives. I found this to be the case for myself and many of the pledges that we all helped recruit over the last few years. Because our house is no longer a place we all get together for the wonderful meals Dotti and Ray made, because we can't get a case of beer and be in the chapter room playing pool all afternoon, and because we no longer are officially recognized by the national fraternity, it does not mean that we no longer have an obligation that we promised ourselves and Pi Kappa Alpha starting the day we received our bids. We now must perform duties towards the house and the chapter that all of those alumni from the previous 79 years have done before us. We now have an obligation to the house in the form of an alumnus as opposed to an active member. Things included in these obligations are such efforts as the educational foundation, alumni events, and eventually, aiding in the re-collonization of the Gamma Delta chapter in 2005/2006. All of the forementioned are to become obligations for the rest of our lives though now many of you feel betrayed and rejected. I too feel that the punishments of nationals and the University were harsh, but we now cannot do anything but move on and take a new position towards a house and the fraternity that helped make us all who we are now. For those of you who were involved in some of the incidents that led to our removal from the Univeristy as well as the destruction and defacing of our house, it is up to you and no-one else to take responsibility for you actions. That decision as to whether you are man enough to back up your actions with reason and accountability is up to you. I sincerely hope that those of you involved have enough respect for yourselves and your brothers to make the right decision.

As most of you know I am now living in Los Angeles. Although I work a nine to five job I still find time to explore So Cal. I recently bought a Nissan Exterra to fit my extreme lifestyle. When I'm not closing big deals at work I can be found throwing back Michealob Ultras at the hippest Hollywood clubs or surfing the gnarliest waves from San Onofre to County Line! Over the past two winters I have also achieved legend status at the local ski mountains for my wild snowboard freestyle. My future plans include opening a ski & surf shop where I I will sell my own line of "extreme-wear."

If Claude can help rush a pledge class in August from a dirt lot, with a boarded up building, and have us believe there will be a 2nd story with a hot tub by January, he should be a lawyer.

BUT, Tucson Big Brother/Big Sisters is holding its Annual Greek Bowl this April the 27th, at the Lucky Strike on Speedway. Participation in a philanthropy is a necessary part of our commitment to the community and this event is associated with the University so we will be recognized as participants. The donation/fee is $500 per lane of 5-6 bowlers. The event is held as an attempt to attract new program participants. Also, the woman in charge of this event is the Alumni Advisor for Gamma Phi, and a friend of mine. She has told me that many of the sororities on campus(including her "G Phis") will be attending. Wanna look like a big sweety by bowling for kids? Wanna do so around some nice trim? The jist of this event is:$500=Trim for 5+Looking like a big sweety+Looking good to the University+Doing something great for the community+Fulfilling your duties as a Pike. I think that it would be a nice gesture of good faith on our part to try to take part in this worthy cause. Whoever wants more info should email me at the above address. ~Matt Reum "AG" Posted by: Drew Baxter Email: drewbax52@aol.com Subject: INTERNATIONAL WORKDAY TO ALL ALUMNI, FAMILY AND FRIENDS, JUST A REMINDER THAT THIS SUNDAY MARCH 30th is OUR SECOND ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL WORKDAY!!

You posted a message on the message board asking what you could do to help or where to donate money, well here's what we are trying to do. We want to dedicate the kitchen to Ruth and name it either "Ruth's Diner" or "Ruth and Dottie's Diner" (Dottie is her sister who is our current house mom and had been working with Ruth since the fall of '97 for those of you who were here before her). We are going to put in a quality tile floor, either quarry or ceramic depending on how much we receive in donations, and etch Ruth's or both of their names into the tile at both of the entrances to the kitchen. Dottie is ecstatic at the prospect of having a new tile floor, it is something they both really wanted and it is too bad Ruth won't be around to see it. We need all the help we can get as this is not going to be cheap. We would like to have it done over the summer when the house is not occupied, so hopefully we will have enough money to do it by then. A lot of alumni have posted messages asking how they can help or what they can do and this is the best idea we have come up with and we really need your help to make it a reality. Donations can be made to: Gamma Delta Holding Corp. PO Box 42737 Tucson, AZ 85733 Checks payable to Gamma Delta Holding Corp. If there are any other questions or concerns that you have, do not hesitate to contact me. I would love to hear from anyone and can provide any other infrormation requested. Thank you for you time.

Deep regrets, Andy Coates Posted by: Chris Rector Email: chrisrector@yahoo.com Subject: Ruth Just wanted to share my sorrow over the passing of PiKA's favorite cook. I think I had a semester pass to lunch time kitchen duty during my pledgeship and actually enjoyed every minute of it in large part due to Ruth. Her wonderful spirit and energy always made things a little easier, especially so far from home. Nothing was better than getting a hot, made-to-order breakfast and some words of encouragement right before a big exam or after a tough night out. Ruth was a wonderful person and someone I know we will all miss. phi phi Posted by: Douglas Lipsky Email: lipsky2020@hotmail.com Subject: Ruth Ruth's love for the chapter was unyielding. She provided us with the comfort and affection that is only obtainable in a mother/son grandmother/grandson relationship. No plaque or sign could ever reflect her energy and love, but Ruth deserves a proper memorial. Gamma Delta has lost a treasured member, we all mourn the loss. Posted by: Chris Lofft Email: chrislofft@aol.com Subject: Ruth Ruth will be missed. She was tough as nails, and took no crap from anybody, especially in the kitchen. I suppose that's the only way you could work in a place like Pike. But most notably she was like a Mom away from home. She was always willing to listen to whatever problem a brother had. Always willing to offer advice. And always willing to sneak extra food to us during the more challenging weeks of pledgeship. I shared the news of her passing to my Mom, and she was truly upset about it. And I guess that's the effect Ruth had. In parents weekend visits, and through numerous stories, all of our parents came to know and love Ruth. I think they appreciate Ruth's hard edge, coupled with her absolute love for the house and its members. Our love for Ruth is evident in the stories told, and in the fact that the kitchen was one of the first stops for any returning alum during homecoming - that and Dirtbag's. I suppose my image of the house will never again be complete without Ruth in the kitchen. She will at least live in our memories, in phi phi k a.
Posted by: Libby Email: elizabeth.rivera@usoncology.com Subject: Ruth When I attended Ruth's memorial yesterday I was touched to see so many people come out & honor her life. I work at Dr. Boxer's office where Ruth was treated for her cancer. Ruth was like a mother to so many of us here, even bringing in treats for our kids. She fought hard & she fought for a long time. She hardly complained, & we always looked forward to seeing her & Dorothy. I visited her several times when she was in the hospital & she would always say how she hated being sick & not being able to cook for her "boys". You could always see the love in her eyes when she was talking about the people she loved. I miss her tremendously, as I'm sure you all do. I just wanted to take the time & the office thought it would be nice to give our sincere condolences to those "boys" who meant most to her.

I think that it is outrageous that people in college would be more interested with having fun, studying & living the good life, than spending their days updating a web site. All sarcasm aside, I do somewhat agree with Joe in the fact that the site could be better monitored, but realistically who, of the students wants to take the time to do it? Pledges!!!! There smart, willing and impressionable, heck, they might even learn something, heaven forbid! Personally, I feel like the picture thing is rather AE Phiish, besides who is going monitor the content. I can only imagine some of the pictures that would have been submitted while I was there.(Ex: Composite '98) So, in closing, I do feel that something could/should be done to keep things up to date, especially with the Chapter News, but all Alumni need to seriously ask themselves if they would have wanted to spend their days updating a website when they were in college.

The magnitude of this crisis has left us all in disbelief. While many of us are across the country from where these events occurred, the pain can be felt a lot closer than that. I am from Fairfax, VA, less than 10 miles from Washington D.C. Just recently, I discovered that my next-door neighbor was on the first flight that crashed into the World Trade Center Towers. When I thought about him losing his life, it filled my eyes with tears. What made it worse was that he left behind his wife, a three-year-old son, and a set of one-year-old twins. Pain, anguish, and disbelief like this are being felt all across the country. Here in Tucson, it has motivated us to work together to help those victims in New York and Washington, D.C., and to do our part to show support for the United States. After the attacks last Tuesday, members of Pi Kappa Alpha decided that they needed to help. We worked with the Alpha Phi sorority to turn red, white, and blue ribbons into pins to be worn as a memory of those who died in New York and Washington. Starting on Wednesday morning, we asked for $1 donations for the pins, where the proceeds would be given to the American Red Cross. We did not know how much money we would raise. Since last Wednesday, we have raised over $16,000 for the American Red Cross, New York Disaster Relief. In addition, the Tucson MayorÂ’s office called Pi Kappa Alpha to request some assistance at the Tucson Convention Center where the local blood drive is being held. We responded by sending 50 members of PiKA and 50 members of the Alpha Phi sorority. We have also had individual organizations that have come and ask us for help. An individual from a medical unit in Tucson saw us on campus passing these ribbons out. He told us that a medical group was being flown from Tucson to New York to help in the disaster effort. He asked us if we could make him 100 ribbons to be worn by the medical team from Tucson. With out hesitation, we did so. I am sending this out to alumni of Gamma Delta, and to all alumni and members of PiKA, not for a thanks, recognition, or appreciation, but rather to show everyone that the values and ideals that Pi Kappa Alpha advocates and stands for, are STRONG and ALIVE. The members of Gamma Delta are filled with a great sense of pride from our recent accomplishments and what we have been able to do in this time of need. We wish to let everyone know that we are working hard on all fronts here in Tucson. ppka Dan Berger Alumni Relations Chairman Pi Kappa Alpha Gamma Delta Chapter University of Arizona (520)-571-7991 bergerd4@hotmail.com Posted by: scott henderson Email: jhende2547@aol.com Subject: california Whats up guys The San Diego game was great John Barry, Chad Bodine, Broc Wavra, Rosie, Greg Lewis, Tim Topp, Pat Williams, Ryan Rold, Jake Boaz, and various other studs all were together for UA's 23-10 trouncing of SDSU.

On Wednesday, and again today, we asked for $1 donations for the ribbons that would be given directly to the American Red Cross. The response was incredible.

Greg Posted by: Adam Kinsey, (Alpha Alpha) Fall '97 Email: kinsey@u.arizona.edu Subject: Late Summer/ Early Fall Report Congratulations to the Alpha Zeta pledge class who were initiated on Friday, August 18th. The members of this pledge class have already stepped up big time and have accepted several chairman positions in the house. A special thanks to everyone who helped out over the summer. Mr. Madison and Mr. Kelly ahve not been given enough credit for their participation in th house beautification projects. In addition, I would like to thank the Rold and Madison families for their participation in the Parents' Association. Your support and hard work are greatly appreciated. With the "new" house, comes a great responsibilty. We now have a house we can be proud of and must treat it accordingly. I am sure that I can speak for the active chapter by saying that we are more than willing to accept that responsibility. This is just the first step towards making our house what it needs to be. We have plans for more improvements as the semester wears on. Rush begins on Sunday night and needless to say, it will be an important one. Thanks to the new leadership of the house (both active and alumni) we will be pursuing a more well-rounded pledge class. We are looking for young men who meet the PiKA standards of athletics, social skils, and scholarship. If any alumni would like to make a rush rec., please do so ASAP. Thanks go out to Justin Buck and Bram Govars for their recent visit. The information they were able to relay to us will prove to be very benneficial. The organization of the house in terms of leadership positions is one that I am proud to say is unmatched in recent history. Everything is now in place for an outstanding semester, it's now up to the active chapter to follow through. And we will. On a personal note, I would like to thank all of the guys living in the house who have really been flexible with the new chnages. We're bringing back a lot of old traditions that have died out recently, and they have been more than willing to accept these changes. When I leave in May, I know that the house is going to be in better shape than I left it thanks to the younger members of Gamma Delta. And last, but certainly not least: BUY A BRICK! Posted by: Ed Brady Zeta 88 Email: ebrady6788@aol.com Subject: Update Brothers, I stumbled upon this website last week, and I must say it is great to see the names of the Gamma Delta alums from my time period at U of A. Outside the occasional Vegas trip, I have lost touch with many of you, and it will be interesting to hear what everyone is doing. I have been living in Denver since graduation, and am married with two boys. I also have worked as a bank vp for nine years, but will soon be leaving to join a financial planning firm for individuals and small businesses. This should be a great opportunity to run my own show, so I am really looking forward to the change. It is also great news to hear that the Pikes are back in Drachman. When I think back on Drachman, it brings back all the good things we accomplished in those back halls--things I can be proud of. Whether it was convincing Satan(Finkel) to smash his head through our wall, making a cassette tape of Barney's(colclaser) gaseous snoring through both ends of his body, or hanging Tulps teddy bear from Mean Jean from my ceiling--these touching memories of brotherhood make me proud to have been a Pike. Seriously, I would like to hear from all of you. Let me know what you are up to these days.

Bice, an aspiring attorney, was resplendent throughout the events. Larry Lerew '91 was also there to join in the festivities. Bice also turns 30 on Wednesday.

I have been work the 9 to 5 most of the summer, and I have been helping Rold develop a formal Pledge Manual. If yo have any ideas for activities for pledges and actives please let me know. The pledge semester is going to be much more difficult, and the Pledge Commitee will need a lot of help and participation from ALL the actives to make this semester truly successfull. Thanks so much, and I hope everyone is doing well. See ya this Fall.

I did not end up getting the "internship" I hoped for, so it was back to Abercrombie for me. I also just bought a new Wrangler, so I won't have to be borrowing any one's car any longer (LaFon, Hart, etc.) I plan on coming back to Tucson the 15th or so. If anyone back east is driving through Kansas City on the way back to school and wants to meet up so we can caravan, give me a call at 913-492-6155. Otherwise I will see you all soon. Oh, and Hardenbrook, speak for yourself. Just kidding. Posted by: Martin Porter Houseman 1953 Email: marty.houseman@Uniontrib.com Subject: Roswell Roberts I see by the latest issue of Arizona Alumnus magazine that Bro. Roswell Roberts, Class of 1936, has died. In the early 50s, Roz, a CPA, was a stalwart of the Gamma Delta Holding Corp., along with Charlie Farrell, a Spanish teacher at Mansfield Junior High, and building contractor the late Marty Baldwin, one of the 1924 founders. Nearly 50 years after graduating, I still have tremendous respect for those three guys for their loyalty and dedication to the active chapter decade after decade. We DO have some history before the 1980s!

After high fiving my wife for scoring the tax deduction, I pondered brother Ellis' twisted theory about the irony of former Pike womanizers being cursed with all daughters. Despite Vic's BS theory, we are pleased to be blessed with another beautiful girl. Hope you all had a great Holiday. phi phi, Chris Sheean Posted by: Jeff Sanuik - Eta '88 Email: jsanuik@aol.com Subject: Happy Holidays!! Season's Greetings Brothers!! Checking in with a PRE-2K update: 1) Any brothers heading from Phoenix to Tucson (or vice-versa) PLEASE exit Ray Rd, head west on Ray and make a right into the driveway next to Wendy's Hamburgers. In front of you will be Michael's Crafts and right next to this will be Arizona's first MaggieMoo's Ice Cream and Treatery. My (soft) grand opening was last Wednesday, (Dec. 15th). The real grand opening is going to be after the holidays when I really plan on hitting the marketing hard, although the FOX 10 morning show did a live remote there this morning. I own the 27th store nationwide with 2 more stores opening within the next 2-3 years. It's been pretty crazy with the store opening and the twins (13 mos and doing great)and still running the family business, but the customer flow is nice and steady even though it's winter and xmas. I'm looking for it to really pick up after the holidays. It's a very colorful store, we make our own ice cream and fudge and we also serve smoothies. Please stop in for the ol' phi phi discount. #2 I've had the pleasure to be able to get re-aquainted with brother Jon Hahn. He works at Phoenix Coca-Cola with my wife, Wendy (g-phi). Wendy tells me that Jon really worked his ass off and interviewed for and was promoted to "Key Account Manager". Not to shaby of a position - nice salary, company car, lots of entertaining (suite tickets, etc.) (Wendy is also a Key Account Manager). CONGRATULATIONS to Jon for beating out a number of other applicants. #3 This last weekend I was honored to be chosen as the Godfather of Larry Shurtz's baby boy (8 mos.), Carson. Very cute and BIG boy - he weighs as much and more than my 13 mo. old boys. #4 Vanna (Kevin Donahue for the younger brothers) is still working for Meg Ryan's production company and loving it. #5 Paul Penley (P2) finished building his home in Colorado and commutes back and forth to Hollywood where he is continuing his work in television and movies. Side note: to all you who know Paul - he very sincerely professed to us this last Sunday that he had finally found "the one" - riducule and much disbelief followed (with a little laughter thrown in as well). Take care, Happy Holidays and please stop in for an ice cream when you're in the area. Jeff Sanuik (eta still rocks by the way) Posted by: Christopher T.

This is to inform everyone who is interested that brother Bob, "I shot a 67 at Troon again" Mayer (Mu '91) recently said "I do" to his beautiful wife Julie. The wedding party was loaded with Pikes including: Mike Shafer (Best Man), Trevor Clements, Jay Chapman, Blake Atkinson and myself. Also in attendance was Scott Shafer (Smooth), who once again did not score any chicks. The drunken festivities were held in Scottsdale, AZ and there is a video floating around somewhere which I'm sure will prove how drunk we really were....especially me. Take care everyone...

Posted by: Dan Mahoney Email: dmahoney@swlaw.com Subject: Ouch Babe! While I may not wax poetic as does our Brother Hall, I must second his message. For a long time, I ignored the calls to service, contribution and support. I asked myself, "Why do I owe them anything?" I realize now that I don't. However, with that realization I have come to understand something deeper. In fact, I do owe a duty. For a long time, I have neglected this duty. Of course, this is not to sugggest that all Gamma Delta alums owe any such duty. Certainly, our experiences differed, and our obligations will vary accordingly. For myself, I am indebted, not by any oath taken or pledge recited, but by something more enduring. It is true that I had opportunities for leadership and success as a result of my involvement with Gamma Delta, and I took those opportunities willingly. Furthermore, one may argue, convincingly, that in the absence of such opportunities I would have achieved less than I have today. But this is not the source of my duty. Opportunities and experiences are not gifts bestowed upon us. They are simply opportunities and experiences, and we do with them what we will. In the same vein, anything given to me by Gamma Delta was given back in time, energy and effort. I owe Gamma Delta nothing. But I do owe. I owe Greg Halka Ryan Hunse Doug Lerner Brad Bolter Zac Fryer Gary Schultz Rob Hedrick Tom McDonagh Deryle House Charlie Cope Jeff Levine Bob Magnussen Brett Ransom..... and many others too numerous to list. We come from different backgrounds and possess unique beliefs, but whether we like it or not, we are bound by a common experience, and for better or worse, we are Brothers. I owe my Brothers a duty to help perpetuate Gamma Delta so that others may share our bond and enlarge our circle. Our Brotherhood exists because of us and because of that we all have a stake in it. We can belittle our college experiences and relegate them to a forgotten time, but we can not deny that our relationships with eachother transcend friendship. For this, I owe. Decide for yourself. If you arrive at the same conclusion that I did, then act. If you can buy a brick, buy a brick. If you can dedicate time and support, then do that. If you can do nothing else but participate, then do that. I remember a trip I once took down Vine. I was asked a lot of questions along the way and faced many obstacles, but I always new where I was going. Over the course of the past few years our undergraduate Brothers faced many obstacles. But they have persevered and they too are heading home. I applaud them and I owe them for their dedication. Posted by: Chris Hall Email: chall@perriergroup.com Subject: Bar Tab Brothers: We used to frequent Dirtbags for a number of reasons. Whether it was hanging out with our brothers, friends or if we were simply in search of a "meaningful relationship!" Regardless, we were often lucky to walk out of there with a bar tab less than $100.00. Our Gamma Delta chapter has been the most meaningful experience in my life where I have established life long friendships. At the very least, I hope that I can give back to Gamma Delta as much if not more than it has afforded me. Many brothers have been generous and have been giving back to our chapter even before they graduated. I've always postponed my giving as I was waiting for that "large salary." Now there is a way all of us can give without having to take out a second mortgage. I started by saving one "Dirtbags-type" bar tab and purchased a very tangible $100.00 brick that will forever be apart of our great Gamma Delta chapter. Chris Sheehan and Victor Ellis bought a brick in memory of Todd Jeffery. The next time you go to Homecoming and visit our chapter you'll be able to check out the awesome front entrance to 1525 East Drachman that will have many names etched from our collegiate experience. To top it off, your brothers will comment on your trim waistline because of that $100.00 of beer you spent more meaningfully! You can buy the brick right now from this website. ...believing that, thus, we can most successfully accomplish our object. Phi Phi, Hall
