Fraternity Nicknames Useful in Reality

Fraternity nicknames from the '60s bring fond memories. At the 9000 Balboa house Pollard wrote a sharp message to the pledges on the kitchen message blackboard: "Do the dishes or I will swoop down and get you! (signed) The Sparrow."
Later, in the house by myself and unobserved, I courageously wrote, "Leave the pledges alone or I will get you! (signed) The Phantom."
We sent such messages back and forth for days. President Smith finally wrote sternly, "All of you cut this out or I will get both of you. (signed) The Falcon."
Many other nicknames had similar stories--Big Bear, Little Bear, Precious, Weggie, and so forth.
Well, forty some years later, the Fresno Bee and Universal Studios have a contest in which we submit an alias we would have used if we were in the new movie, The Bourne Ultimatum. Eve encouraged me to enter the contest.
A week later--in fact today--I received an envelope addressed to
John "The Phantom" Cagle
in which were two tickets to a special preview of The Bourne Ultimatum.
Who said the lighter side of fraternity life had no relevance to the real world?
Q.E.D.
I will sign autographs at the Pismo Reunion for a nominal fee.

Note to those of you who read this: Only a small number of brothers read The Forum. Consequently, this resource is not the best way to get information to the brotherhood. Will you please make a few phonecalls so we can get the information to those who don't go here for one reason or the other? We don't want anybody left out because he's out of the loop and didn't get the information. Go to www.pikappatau.com and consult the online Roster page for contact information.

Best regards,

Stu Olster
