2014 "Phi Gam Pro Am" Golf Outing A Success!


Congratulations to the Fiji Brothers who played in the 2014 "Phi Gam Pro Am" golf outing on Friday, August 22, 2014, hosted by our Lambda Pi Chapter at DePaul University!

The heavy rains the night before had an impact, as golf carts were not allowed on the course last Friday.  A couple of Graduate Brothers bowed out that morning, but they donated their registration fees - thank you!

The six stellar Brothers in the photo above pressed on, and completed the course.  Lost balls and mulligans were NOT counted.  Everyone had a great time!

We'll explore plans for the 2015 "Phi Gam Pro Am"!  Stay tuned...

Chicago Graduate Chapter Honored at the 166th Ekklesia in Indianapolis



 
Hey!  Look at this certificate!
 
Our Chicago (Kappa) Graduate Chapter just won an Honorable Mention in the Brightman Award competition at the International Fraternity's 166th Ekklesia in Indianapolis on July 26, 2014.  We competed in the category with other PGD graduate chapters with over 75 members.


And this follows up nicely to our Honorable Mention in the same category in 2012.  Here's that certificate, too:

 
Well done, Chicago-area Brothers!  We've had a few nice events since 2012 - Pig Dinners, after-work receptions, Cubs' games, golf outings - and we need to do more!
 
What about a Bulls' game sometime this fall or winter?  Any other ideas?
 
Thanks to everyone who has supported our Chicago Graduate Chapter!  But, as those of you who remember will know, it is "neither the world's recognition nor the applause of men" that drives us.  We just want to offer a networking and brotherhood forum for Chicago Fijis to honor our motto of "Not for college days alone."
 
Well done, Brothers!
 
Fraternally,
