FIJI Jayhawker 2 I am pleased to share Pi Deuteron's latest updates and achievements. Our collective efforts and dedication have led to significant accomplishments and memorable events over the past semester. Our Fraternity has maintained an impressive GPA of 3.36. This achievement reflects our commitment to academic excellence and the hard work of all our Brothers. Let's continue to support each other in our academic pursuits and strive for even higher goals. Additionally, we have raised more than $26,000 for the cancer center, thanks to generous contributions and support from Dr. Roy Jensen and John Thomas '83. This fundraising effort has made a significant impact, and we are proud to have contributed to such a worthy cause. We are also thrilled to welcome our new Housemom, Abbie Allen. Her presence and support will undoubtedly enhance the Fraternity experience for all our Brothers. In other good news, Mom's Weekend was a huge success, with many of our Brothers' mothers joining us for a weekend of fun and bonding. Our recruitment efforts this year have been incredibly successful, with 30 new members signed as of early May. We have surpassed our goal of 29 new members. This is very exciting, and everyone is ready to welcome these men into the house. Spring break in Panama City Beach was another highlight as our Brothers enjoyed a well-deserved break and created lasting memories together. This has been a great year full of achievements, and I don't think we could have ended it better. Fraternally, Danny Stapp '25 Chapter President Perge!
