Dain was a great Philanthropic Chairman while we undergrads together. He really put his heart into all community outreach efforts.

For everyone that wasn’t in school with us, Dain, what years were you in Whitewater and what did you graduate with?

I was an undergrad from 1998 to 2003…and I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree.

What are you doing now, professionally?

I’m a political operative for a candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. After the campaign is over, I hope to return to the Wisconsin Capitol as a Legislative Aide

Lost addresses, time and distance have seperated us from many of the great friends we had in college. In an effort to reach all of our Brothers throughout the land, we will be hosting your Christmas Cards online, free of charge.

Click on a thumbnail to see the full-size version of each card!

Scan your card and email it to me (Chopper@creatingmore.com). Be sure to remove the parens in the email address. If you do not have access to a scanner, email me at the above address and we will make other arrangements to get your card online.

Our featured Interview this week is with Brother Terry Lawler (Lambda-Iota 151). Terry joined in the era right after Chi Delta Rho transitioned into Lambda Chi Alpha. Terry has answered the call to assist in Recolonizing Lambda Chi Alpha in Whitewater. He has been an active participant in University / Fraternity relations for many years.

Terry, when were you in school in Whitewater?
I attended Whitewater from 1964-68 and again from 1973-77.

Two times! What degrees did you attain from your times in Whitewater?
I hold a Bachelor of Education and an Master of Science in Teaching.

I know that you are now retired, but while you were out in the business world, what did you do for a living?
I taught English at Tremper High School in Kenosha for over 33 years. I was English Department Chairman for fourteen of those years. In the last five years, a fellow retiree and I have been operating a small private tutoring business, E&L Educational Enterprises.

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.

I bring great news to all of our Alumni! Lambda Iota won the Alumni Association Website Award at the 2007 Lambda Chi Alpha Leadership Seminar for efforts of work on this website!

We would like to thank all of you who have made comments on stories and posts to this site. Also, thank you to all of you who read this site on a regular basis, suggest topics, stories and make donations to the Alumni Association. All of these things give us energy and reason to keep this site going and thus keep Lambda Iota going through this period of re-grouping.

Chalk one up for Lambda Iota and Whitewater, we’re on our way gentlemen!

I will be posting more information on Leadership Seminar, soon. In the mean time, snack on these few select pictures that are posted on the Lambda Chi Alpha Flickr stream.

Many of you may be confused as to why we include pictures and stories from Fraternities named other than Lambda Chi Alpha. “Know your roots”. For those who don’t know, before Lambda Chi in Whitewater we were originally Chi Delta Rho and Delta Kappa Fraternities. To that end, I have put together a Local History page. You can access it by clicking the link in the right navigation.

I would like to thank Brother Red Moeller for providing a bounty of materials to get the Local History started. Of course, the page is still under production as I continue to add dates and events up to current.

If I have missed something or made a radical error, please comment on this thread or email me: with any additions and edits.

As of this morning at 8:20, Claude (LI744) and his wife, Mary, are the proud new parents of an 8lb. 0 oz., 21.5″ little girl.

Brandon Eggert and his wife, Rachel, are the proud parents of a little girl, born May 15th! She was 20.5″ long and 6lb. 8oz at birth!

Congratulations to our new dads!

I have added a Frappr! map to the site. You can follow this link. Put a pin in the map with your location so that we can see where you and all of our Brothers are located. Please add you Initiation designaton and number, as well!
