asuccessful philanthropy, participated in the Ohio<br />

Highway Department's "Adopt a Highway"<br />

program, and have a new philanthropic activity on<br />

the drawing board.<br />

BrotherCraig Crock generously donated his<br />

time and money into reproducing composites from<br />

1949-1980 that were destroyed in af lood a<br />

number of years ago. These men now have their<br />

photos proudly displayed throughoutthe chapter<br />

house, and it gives current members and <strong>Phi</strong>keias<br />

an idea of just how <strong>Phi</strong> <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Theta</strong> has grown<br />

and evolved at BGSU. This was BrotherCrock's<br />

goodbye gift to the chapter.<br />

Once again, Ohio Kappa, along with <strong>Delta</strong><br />

Gammasorority, hosted tiie "AnchorSplash"<br />

philanthropy at BGSU's Cooper Pool, This event<br />

was highly successful and raised money to aid in<br />

sight conservation,<br />

Ohio Kappa is currently seeking a new chapter<br />

adviser, and we hope to find an alumnus in the<br />

Bowling Green-Toledo area that could fill this<br />

position.<br />

Columbus, Ohio. Both men had a chance to meet<br />

<strong>Phi</strong>s and otherGreeks from all overthe midwest<br />

between Toledo and Bowling Green, you'll see a<br />

road sign bearing the chapter's name!<br />

works. We hope to hold an event in the University<br />

Union Oval this fall in order to raise money to help<br />

fight Lou Gehrig's Disease.<br />

We are also developing new rush strategies to<br />

remain competitive. With another Fraternity<br />

reestablishing themselves here at BGSU, rush<br />

has become almost cut-throat. This spring we<br />

elected a rush committee to ensureasuccessful<br />

fall rush. Thecommittee, chaired by BrotherGary<br />

motivated brothers, —David W, Stubblebine<br />
