Lambda Pi Chapter at DePaul University - Chartering Weekend: November 1-2, 2013



Chicago-area Fijis:

The last time Phi Gamma Delta chartered a new chapter in Chicago was January, 1931, at Northwestern University.  Prior to that, it was in May, 1902, at the University of Chicago.

The NEXT TIME will be on November 2, 2013, as the International Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta charters the Lambda Pi Chapter at DePaul University in Chicago.

Be a part of history and join us as we welcome over 30 DePaul Undergraduate Brothers into the ritual and secrets of our Fraternity as we witness first-hand the chartering of the Lambda Pi Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta - the first new chapter in Chicago in over 82 years!  (For those of you interested, and who know our history of naming chapters, "Lambda Pi" refers to "Lincoln Park" in Chicago.  After the Greek alphabet was first used with our Alpha Chapter at Washington & Jefferson College, our Fraternity's first chapter, the second wave of chapters were named by adding "Deuteron".  Then, each new chapter was named according to their region.  Examples: Chi Upsilon is the University of Chicago, Chi Iota is the University of Illinois at Champaign, Illinois.)

Here are the events to which ALL Chicago-area Fijis are invited during this HISTORICAL WEEKEND in Chicago:

Friday, November 1st
7:00 pm – Campus-wide reception for DePaul Greeks, university personnel, students, Graduate Brothers, and Undergraduate Brothers’ family members and guests at Cortelyou Commons  (Business casual, with badge [if available]; No charge, No RSVP; just attend!)
 

Saturday, November 2nd
6:00 pm – Chartering Banquet in Room 120AB, DePaul Student Center - $65/person, $100/couple – RSVP to Kolton Kozlowski (koltonkozlowski@yahoo.com) – Brothers and IHQ officers will be in Tux – Graduate Brothers in coat & tie with badge (if available)

Please join us and support the NEWEST CHAPTER in Phi Gamma Delta!

Fraternally,

Skip Buckley (Sigma Chapter at Wittenberg University '80)
Section Chief - Phi Gamma Delta
