Join Chicago-area Fijis for a Cubs' Game on Thursday Night, June 26th!

Chicago-area Fijis:

The Chicago Fiji Graduate Chapter is planning an event:

                7:00 pm - Thursday, June 26^th
                Chicago Cubs vs. Washington Nationals
                Terrace Reserved Infield
                Section 215 – Rows 11, 12, and 13 (grouped together)
                Price*: $35/each
                             $25/each (Graduate Brothers under 30 years old)
                                   *My cost was $36.96/ticket, so I’m slightly subsidizing it to keep the price down for better seats.

Please join us for some Fiji Brotherhood!  The game may not be the greatest, and the seats are not perfect, but we CAN guarantee some exaggerated stories, boastful undergraduate memories, and rich "not for college days alone" nuances!

TO RESERVE YOUR TICKET, please email me at gabjr33@comcast.net ASAP.  I will reply to confirm.  You can later send in your cash or check to my home address:  114 Center Road, Streamwood, IL 60107.  Make your check payable to "George Buckley".

I only purchased 20 tickets, and I've already (as of May 5th) sold six -- 14 to go!  If we sell out quickly, I'll try to purchase 10 more.  If we have any left over, I'll donate them to Undergraduate Brothers from Northwestern and/or DePaul.

Hope you can join us!

Fraternally,

Skip Buckley (Wittenberg '80)

DePaul Fiji Chapter Seeks to Engage Chicago-area Graduate Brothers

Here is a message to Chicago-area Fijis from our Lambda Pi Chapter at DePaul University:

Dear Graduate Brothers,

The brothers of the Lambda Pi Chapter are coming up with new and innovative ways to spread awareness around campus with our very own Islander Week in the spring. We currently have planned a water pong tournament and our annual Fletcher Flag Football event that will benefit D.A.R.E and USO, respectively. This week is meant for the DePaul campus to come together, and to promote our name as the newest Greek chapter on campus.

Going along with Islander Week, we are looking into setting up a scholarship each Fall under our name that will go to an incoming freshman, both male and female. These scholarships will be $500 each, that will go toward the students' education expenses (books, tuition, etc.)

Hopefully, these ideas are intriguing to you all and can be very successful. We would be ecstatic if you could back to us on our plans, and any donations would be greatly appreciated. Any donations, made payable to "Phi Gamma Delta", may be sent to: Phi Gamma Delta, 2250 North Sheffield Ave., Suite 201, Chicago, IL 60614. 

In addition, we are looking forward to our second annual Phi Gam Pro-Am golf outing that will take place this summer. Watch for updates about this event soon.  Thanks again for your support!

Fraternally,

Jeff Manners '15
