A Perfect Ten
W
hen I think of the number 10, I can't help but
envision Bo Derek running down the beach in a
gold bathing suit with her hair braided in beads. She was
said to be a "10" as far as beauty, but our own Psi Chapter
has achieved its own 10. This summer we were awarded
our 10th first place for the Lion's Trophy. It's hard to
stay at the top and the Psi Chapter continues to do so–our
congratulations go out to them for taking home the tin
one more time. I look forward to drinking from that silver
cup at the Homecoming banquet with the alumni, actives,
and pledges.
I have been instructed to limit my comments, and I will,
since most of what I'd say will be repeated in detail in the
pages that follow. I feel compelled to say that sometimes
we get letters–and the following is one that I received
in response to my article in last spring's Sighs that I felt
obliged to share. Please enjoy this latest Sighs of Psi.

DKE
Brothers,
On behalf of the alumni of the Alpha Phi Chapter of
DKE at the University of Toronto-the chapter that
allowed DKE to become INTERNATIONAL 115 years
ago, I am very grateful to Brother Black Chaffe for his
remarks recognizing DKE as a great INTERNATIONAL
fraternity. We who reside in the "Great White North"
have been honoured for the last 115 years to be an
integral part of DKE. Unfortunately since we elect
Prime Ministers we will not be able to add to the long
list of Presidents who are Dekes but we can attest to the
fact that we have mastered the art of trapping Beavers
during our long, long dark nights. Black references our
"fending off wild Moose attacks" and how terrible that
must be-but I can assure him that we of the Great White
North far prefer BEAVER to Moose - cuddly, warm, furry
friends that love to constantly devour "Canadian wood"
– that's what gives us some illumination and a sense of
rising spirits on those dark, cold nights. I have sent along
PSI's Sighs to our alumni for their reading pleasure and
I'm sure that many Canadian Dekes will enjoy a good
read tonight while sipping on their favourite Labatt's or
Molson's brew.
Cheers,
Ross Wigle, Great White North '79
PS: For our American Brothers who don't know - the
latitude of Southern Canada is the same as the latitude
of Northern California...gets 'ya thinking doesn't it???
