WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1973 THE DECREE PAGE 3 NU GAMMA PHI The men of Nu Gamma Phi believe that rush week is a time during which you look at the brotherhood and the bro therhood looks at you. It is a time during which you make your decision to become a part of the future with Nu Gamma Phi, We will not attempt in this article to answer such questions as who are the bro thers, where do they come from, what are their majors, and why thay joined the brotherhood of Nu Gamma Phi, We would pre fer to answer any questions you have on a more personal basis. Therefore, we invite you to come to our fraternity lounge anytime and rap with the bro thers of Nu Gamma Phi. Fraternities on campus all strive for that intangable qual ity, brotherhood. Consequently, an elaboration on brotherhood would not differentiate one or ganization from the other. Fur thermore, that is one of the pur poses of rush and pledge. Nu Gamma Phi, therefore, stands apart from other Wesleyan fraternities not because of its brotherhood, but because of what it does with its brother hood. Chartered In 1967, Nu Gamma Phi was awarded the Dean of Students Award distinquish- ing it as the best organization on campus. Continuingthis dis tinction, the brothers have won 5 consecutive inter - fraterni ty basketball games, 3 consecu tive inter-pledge basketball ga mes, 3 out of 4 Homecoming bed races, 3 Homecoming dis play awards, and the 1971 in ter-fraternity softball trophy. Additionally, 5 consecutive Nu Gamma Phi sweethearts have reigned as N. C. Wesleyan Col lege Homecoming Queens, The brotherhood has had 3 SGA Pre sidents, 3 consecutive Presi dent Cup recipiants (1969-71), distinquishing these brothers as the most outstanding students on campus for their respec tive years, and presently has 5 brothers — more than any other greek organization on campus — as members of the Omicron Delta Kappa National Honor So ciety, The brothers of Nu Gam ma Phi enjoy their social acti vities — as pictured here — as well as their service pro jects for the Wesleyan and Rocky Mount communities, Nu Gamma Phi has done such things as: sponsor an Easter Egg Hunt for the boys at Foun tain School, painting the interior of the Tank Theatre, refinish ing the desks in lecture rooms 101 & 105 and judging a Kite Flying Contest at Fountain Sc NU GAMMA PHI FRATERNITY hool. As you can see, the brother hood of Nu Gamma Phi plays an active part in the Wesleyan - Rocky Mount communities.

The president of Sigma Phi Delta, Carol Diblasi, sees rush as “A chance to meet people, have a good time, and get ac- On January 31 of 1971, seven young men got together to form a new fraternity for the Wesleyan campus. That fraternity was to stress three major points: a strong fraternal attitude, aca demic knowledge, and service to the campus and community. From those ideals grew Sig ma Omega Fraternity, the youn gest of the three fraternities at Wesleyan. Sigma Omega grew rapidly with the acceptance of ten rushees the first year, and an even larger pledge class the second year. But the growth of the Brother hood was not the most impor tant thing that faced the young organization. Sigma Omega found a great store of service projects that it could perform, and it set about doing some. In its first year, the Bro therhood painted the Red Cross building in Rocky Mount as its major service project, and this year, they decided on an even larger task — the Heart Fund Basketball Marathon. Bouncing a ball for 48 con tinuous hours sounded like a ra ther simple undertaking when the idea was first brought be fore the Brotherhood, but de spite Its simplicity. Sigma Omega Fraternity was able to raise $1,400 for the Heart Fund. Despite this large project, the Brotherhood found the time to usher at all of the performing arts programs, to paint the third floor hall in Edgecombe, and to sponsor a concert in conjunction with WRMT Radio station which brought two fine bands to the campus. But Sigma Omega Fraternity is not all work and no play. The Fraternity has had many social functions this year and in the past, and enters this year’s rush period with a great deal of enthusiasm. Rush for Sigma Omega is more than just five parties and more than just boozing it up (even though we do our share of both); it is time for our bro thers to meet you, the future pledges of all three fraternities. We encourage all rushees to visit all three fraternities, and to pick the fraternity that most suits you. We do not pretend to be able to appeal to every prospective rusheeonthis cam pus; it would be idiotic todoso.
