After joining Facebook and creating the Lambda Chi Alpha : Wisconsin-Whitewater group, I re-connected with Brother Peter Jacquin. I remember Pete from our undergrad days, Pete was the charismatic Scholastics Chair. He and I have been corresponding through Facebook ever since. (This is my soft-sell for joining Facebook and our Chapter’s group). I interviewed Pete for the website and I am pleased to share it with you now!

What did you major in while you were at Whitewater?

What are you doing now, professionally?

Ron Paul’s Presidential Bid

by Chris Barrick
Dr. Ron Paul is a U.S. Congressman from Texas, a physician, and a 2008 U.S. presidential candidate. His honest, grassroots campaign has been fueled by the Internet support, where his fund-raising has widely exceeded analysts’ predictions.

U.Vid is a UW-Whitewater student video competition where participants are asked to make a 30-second commercial promoting the University of Wisconsin Whitewater to future students. Our Brother Darren Hafford is involved in this contest. Of the 4 final videos, Darren has 2 of them!

Follow this link: http://www.madisonscw.com/SubPage.aspx?page=1530 and watch the videos.

Darren’s are Video 3 and Video 4. He would appreciate all of you taking time to watch and vote for his videos!

The winning video will be aired on Madison’s CW during the season finales of “Beauty and the Geek” and “America’s Next Top Model”. Aside from the public acknowledgement, the winner receives $500 cash and an Internship in production with the CW Network.

I am proud to present an extended interview with our Brother and Renaissance Man, Darren Hafford.

Darren, for those who may not know you, can you give us a little background (full name, Rush class, Iota #) on yourself?
Well, my full name is Darren Lee Joseph Beaulieu Hafford. I grew up in Beloit, WI. I rushed, man this is going to date me here, in the Spring of 1994. My Iota # is 696.
