10 Years & Counting!

June 2009

Not much to update this year.  Since my email system is a pita, I plan on using Evite to send out updates.  So, if one shows up in your mailbox, check it out!

Remember to keep the Beer Night in mind each month and to contact Jon Kuhns if necessary, to find out the date. Jon sends out an invite via Evite each month.  Look for it in your email!

Photos/Little Sister Photos [link]

I just got a ton of photos.  Have not had the time to put them up and/or scan them yet...it's still a work in progress!  However, there are some up now (see below).

I inherited a couple Little Sister photo albums from 1980-1982 and 1983-1984.  I have scanned a few of the photos (it takes awhile to scan and adjust the color so they look better) and will continue to do so.  No guarantee of when they will be done or others added...but feel free to check them out!

Email

As always, keeping up with over 200 emails is very time consuming for all of us.  I am in the process of updating my email list -- I have a combined list -- Cooper's list and mine -- but have not updated the mailing list for when I send out emails.  That will come later.  If you change your email address, please let both me and Mark Cooper know.

Search for the Lost Fraternity Charter

I am hoping you can help me out.  I am trying to locate the Fraternity Lost Charter.  In 1976 after the Break with Pike, the Brothers held a re-founding ceremony and signed a charter reestablishing the Fraternity at Wright State.  I know the Charter was lost sometime prior to 1988 from talking to the active chapter.  I also know it was made by Lou Bernard.

•   Does anyone know where the charter is today?

•   If you do not know the current location can you help with a chain of custody?  Basically, can you tell me who had it in the past and when they may have had it?

•   What was the importance of the charter to the chapter?  How was it used (i.e. Rush Ritual)?  How was it important to the chapter reestablishing their identity as Barflies?
