where he attended high school. He joined Lambda Chi because he had a friend in the dorms who was in the house who brought him around a few times. After meeting many of the brothers and attending a few events, I was attracted to fraternity life and Lambda Chi in particular, he said. Chris says that, Gregg Hammann introduced me to Lambda Chi, and Dave Stoup (then president I think) drove 4 hours roundtrip with me to convince my parents that my grades wouldnt nosedive if I pledged. His big brother was Tom Elfrink. He says that his most memorable experience as a new member was the initiation process, but that he was also impressed by the diversity of the members of his class, in terms of differences in backgrounds, and how in the end analysis none of that mattered. Chris favorite Mizzou memory is a football one. In my junior year, Mizzou played Alabama, at Alabama, while Bama was ranked No. 2 (Mizzou unranked). Mizzou won 20-7, and rose to No. 5 in the polls. Hundreds (thousands??) of students drove to Columbia airport at 1 a.m. to welcome the team back. Chris served as the chapters treasurer and in the Initiation Ritual. On campus, he was a member and officer in the business schools student council. He graduated from Mizzou in 1976 with a degree in business administration majoring in accounting. Now he lives in Philadelphia, where he has been since 1995. He lives in the suburbs, works in the city, and travels quite a bit, saying that he is out as much as in. His wife, Colleen, is from Philadelphia, and they have lived in many places in the United States and internationally. They have three children: Catherine, who is 23 and graduated last year in digital/ graphic design; Christopher who just started this fall at Bama (booooo . . .) as a business major; and Connor who is a high school senior and in the middle of his college search process.

Page 2 Brother Willie Whealan is from Fenton, Mo., and is a proud member of the St. Louis University High School (SLUH) Class of 2011. Hes a fan of the St. Louis Cardinals. Willie says a lot of things drew him to Lambda Chi. I wanted to do something that not many of my friends did when they came to college, and wanted to get something more out of my college experience than what my frst semester as a freshman had to offer. I also wanted to feel a part of something bigger than myself, something I felt in high school but was at that point missing in my college experience. He says that when he frst joined the chapter, he had no idea what Id gotten myself into, but by the time our semester as Associate Members ended, I had found 11 great guys I was able to call my brothers. One of his top Mizzou memories so far is taking second place in Greek Week last year, after putting in a lot of hard work. He currently serves as the chapters High Sigma (scholarship chairman), and plans to graduate in 2015. He is a business major, and plays for Mizzou Mens Club Volleyball team. After college, he wants to attend graduate school, and, see what the world has to offer, possibly in the form of teaching at a Jesuit high school as an Alumni Service Corps (ASC) volunteer.
