All:

I just wanted to stop in and say thank you to all at TZ. It seems all is going well for TZ and we are continuing to flourish. Was that 9 greek awards? Most valuable again at Relay? Just keeps getting better right? Well remember, these are the differentiating factors that you sell to prospective pledges(new members). These are the things that put their parents at ease---which puts the new member at ease. Lets just say that this is your best way, and only way to be honest, to make the best first impression on someone who already has their Animal House-crafted stereotype of fraternities. While I was SMC I constantly pushed for more "good works", more events, better scholarship, etc. The only thing I regret was removing the fun/wild component all the time---you can't forget that! So have fun, let loose....most of all forget about class/grades and/or obligations in general from time to time. Its good for you. Kudos to Rudy for his obvious work in leading the chapter!

Maybe I will see some of you at apple river? I will be flying up and will land on Thursday the 26th at 11pm. Some of the older guys organized a little pike get together as well and we plan to come infiltrate your sites. Be prepared.

My new number is 615-260-2187(workberry) and 563-940-8698(other personal cell). Feel free to call me anytime for anything.

Talk later,
