The Story Behind the Picture

In our August eLetter we published this 1970 class photo–one of the most unique of all yearbook pictures in Ohio Zeta’s history. It even features Mom Sandberg!

He writes, “It was inspired by the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper Album cover. Most of the other fraternities showed up with blazers and regimental striped ties. Phi Delts always wanted to be different and stand apart from the crowd. We were told to dress outrageously. I think we succeeded. I am in the back row, fifth from the right.”

The Immeasurable Impact PDT Had on Jack Luce ’65

When John “Jack” Luce joined Phi Delta Theta at Ohio State in 1959, he was a shy, introverted 18-year-old. Those four years with his fellow Phi Delts changed everything.

“I graduated as an extroverted young man,” he says, proudly. “This change helped me immeasurably in my business and real estate careers.”
