Albert W McCullin Jr., Southwesterr) '54, has been named the
1992-93 Samuel V. Stone Chapter Adviser of the Year. Brother
McCullin has served as Texas Gamma's chapter
adviser since 1989, and in those four years the

Brother McCullin has worked closely with
AlMcCullin
the chapter, making an hour-long drive to campus
each week to chapter meetings, assisting
the house corporation, and helping the chapter
develop a sound Phikeia program.
"I've worked with the chapter and the house corporation,
but being the chapter adviser is the most enjoyable thing I've
done," McCullin says."This award is a great honor."
McCullin does a lot for the community and the University.
He is a volunteer recruiter for Southwestern, and he is a member
of the Fraternity Advisory Committee and the Deans
Advisory Committee.
He has been recognized by the Boy Scouts of America. He
has served as chairman of Milam County Red Cross Campaign,

"Mr. McCullin is an alumnus ... who personifies the outstanding
qualities of character which we hope all of our alumni
would achieve," writes Roy Shilling, president of Southwestern
University."His civic and philanthropic contributions are numerous,
and he, thereby, serves as the type of role model one
would hope our students would emulate."
No doubt Texas Gamma will continue to profit from Brother
McCullin's talents for years to come. •
