What is the memory that makes you laugh hardest today?
“It was ’82 or ’83 and we were having a pig roast whereupon, everyone was taking shifts watching the pig we came by after in the previous night after the bars closed to take our turn. We sat around ‘bs’d’ and drank more. All of us fell asleep and the pit went out. We had to go to the store to buy hamburgers to eat since the pig was ruined.” – Howard D. Lonsdale, ’84
“Seeing the letters implanted on Jim Lukehart’s butt after initiation is a pretty good one. I am told that the man had trouble sitting down for a week. Thanks for the memories little brother.” – Robert L. Anderson III, ’89
“During the final stages as a Phikia walking into the house and reciting that weird mantra, “Drink a cup of sorrow for bitterness and woe, ain’t it the truth, ain’t it the truth, ain’t it the god damned truth.” Would somebody please tell me what the hell that was all about?” – Mike Kincaid, ’94
“Spring Break 2003, traveling to Key West with Brothers John Townsend Reeves, Clayton Hall and Ryan Snider. After finishing a grueling 10-11 hours behind the wheel I handed the keys over to Jay Reeves for the early morning driving shift. Within 10 minutes the engine sputtered with a smokescreen shooting out the exhaust of my Subaru wagon. We waited until morning, and found the closest town, Orangeburg, South Carolina whereupon we purchased a new vehicle with the aid of my dad’s “emergency” credit card. We were back on the road within 6 hours of the mishap. Needless to say, my father has since redefined what an emergency credit card should be used for.” – William W. Emley Jr., ’96
“50 people in the 30 seat Phi Delt section at Ohio Stadium in ’48 & ’49.” -Jack E. Weaver, ‘50
“Throwing Chris Peel into the Olentangy river and creating a spider web of 2 x 4’s in Stephinch and Plunkett’s room”-Matt Weekley, ’92
Describe the best party
“Without a doubt the best party was our Beach Party in the spring of ’84, it was a guest invite party. We built a sandbox in the dining area, covered over half of it with sand (not sure how many tons were brought in but it was a lot). Put in beach chairs, a little swimming pool and some paper palm trees. There where trash cans of hairy buffalo on every floor. We had the girls eating the fruit. Needless to say by the next morning there was sand in every floor of the house and a lot of guests stayed over. The pledges had a hell of a time cleaning all the sand up and getting it out of the basement.” – Robert L. Anderson III, ’89
“Duffy Day. Phi Delt/DU all day and almost all nite parties.” -Jack E. Weaver, ‘50
“Spring Quarter at 1942 Iuka was the best…you took early classes so that you could hang out on the roof and bond with the brothers. Greek Week and Toga Party was the highlight of the Quarter. It was the best of times.” -Keith Davis, ’76
Describe your favorite/best road trip
“Not having any plans for Spring Break and most of the house going to Ft Lauderdale, myself and a few brothers were sitting around the house having a few beers and were trying to figure out what we were going to do. I made the recommendation that we get in a car, drive to Florida and crash with any of the brothers we could find. So we did, with a few credit cards, barely any money and some party favors we drove to Florida. Needless to say it was a great week; we didn’t get arrested and had a great time.” – Robert L. Anderson III, ’89
“Windsor, Canada dressed in our Monday dinner attire so it appeared that we were big spenders. It worked for Chris Alnwick; nothing beats re-entering the states on a greyhound bus.” – Mike Kincaid, ’94
“Trip to Florida in spring ’50 with Chuck Daughters, my Kappa pin-mate and a Kappa friend of hers.” -Jack E. Weaver, ‘50
What is the one memory you have shared or will share with your children or grandchildren?
“The Greek system is a fantastic experience that provides so much more to the collegiate way of life. I am still in contact with many of my brothers.” – Robert L. Anderson III, ’89
“Ohio State/Michigan 1950. The so-called Snow Bowl game.” -Jack E. Weaver, ‘50
