HOMECOMING
This last Saturday was our Rutgers Homecoming game against Norfolk (59-0). Our brotherhood teamed up with the sisters of Delta Gamma to take 2nd place in the Greek spirit competition. Many of our alumni joined us for the homecoming celebration at our Phi Kappa Sigma tailgate. We were thrilled to see so many alumni travel to join the tailgate before the game. We extend our thanks to those alumni who donated to the undergrads with a special thank you to alumnus Gary Colucci ('04) for another very generous donation.

FAMILY DAY
Thank you to all the alumni and families of the active brotherhood that came to Family Day at the new house (8/4/07).

We hope to use this house to its full potential and host more events in the future.

GREEK WEEK UPDATE
Last Thursday was the Greek Awards ceremony where it was announced that our team (Skull, SDT, Delta Chi, and Delta Phi) won second place in Greek Week! As a side note, we all know that we should have had first but the Greek Sing event was rigged. Regardless, thanks to all our brothers that participated in the events and contributed to our award.

PI CLASS REUNION
Last weekend the entire Pi class met up on campus for their 10 year reunion. Their ability to keep in touch is not only impressive but a testament to our brotherhood. We encourage other pledge classes to do the same and in the future we hope to use the website to help our alumni contact each other.

MISSED RUSH?
If you missed Rush Week `07, no problem. We've started a "dynamic rush" process that doesn't limit us to the traditional "rush week". We'll have events throught the semester and the summer so that we can get to know potential recruits much better than cramming it in two weeks. Sign up for the Rush Skull `07 facebook group to stay updated with upcoming events. Email the Recruitment Chairman if you have any questions.

NEW WEBSITE DESIGN
I'm changing the website application called Wordpress which makes maintaining a blog really simple. It also helps handle different user accounts for site editors. These features are great but our site is not used as a blog. We post big news events on our site, not daily journals. Also the rest of the site is not for news, it is for other processes that wordpress doesn't help with.
We can use a styling language called CSS to ensure that updating the site is simple (once it is initially built) and the site's aesthetics remain clean and uniform.
