THE NEW CHI ' S IN TOWN! Friendships come and go during tine four year experience leaving behind menn- ories and emotions that are felt only com- pletely by those involved in the relationship. The way you feel about a friend is something only you can feel, it ' s personal. Because friendships produce in- tangibles it is a unique experience for those involved when something tangible evolves from a friendship. Through the efforts of a unique group of friends the Delta Chi fraternity has emerged a strong brotherhood. The fall of 1983 saw what was once an idea between Jay Slodbozian, Pat Griffin, and Chris Waltenbaugh became their reality. The Delta Chi ' s were on their way. Meetings were held, interested students began to emerge and ideas of what they wanted from a fraternity started to click together. IFC was petitioned and the campus char- ter was granted, but even before they got a charter campus awareness was begin- ning to form. It was as if one day there were Delta Chi jackets everywhere and people began to take notice. An even more important undertaking was their full participation in Greek Week. In the words of Chris Waltenbaugh That ' s the first time we felt like a real fraternity. The real identifier was their efforts in Greek Sing, combining the talents of many of their brothers which had complete endorse- ment of the audience. Louie, Louie nev- er sounded so good. The future for the Delta Chi ' s looks good. In October they were initiated at Penn State, also initiated was their advi- sor Mr. Bill Lloyd. During their first rush party of the fall semester they handed out over 400 cups. As a result another pledge class was taken on, a sure sign of the continuance of the Delta Chi Fraternity. All of this is especially extraordinary whe it is considered that it all happened in les than a year. It took one year for thre friends to build a Frat ... it took less tha a year for the rest of the campus to tak notice of them. It ' s going to take mor than a lifetime to break the bond of frienc ship between those first brothers. -Mary-Alice OzechosI '
