Brothers,
It has been a tremendously successful semester
and the chapter has accomplished many goals. Having
said that, there will always be
room for us to grow and improve as a house.
This semester has been a
learning experience for both
me and the other members
of the Executive Board, and
we look forward to using our
new knowledge to further
improve the house.
I would first like to congratulate the nine newly initiated members of the Beta
class this semester and look
forward to their future contributions. I also would like
to thank all the brothers for
completing some significant
accomplishments.
We just had our first philanthropy in at least 10 years,
the Phi Gam Beach Jam,
which raised over $900 and
more than 600 children’s
books for the USO. We completed two major community service projects helping
with both Devils in Disguise
as well as Fiji Fills the Flash.
We also had a fantastic Pig
Dinner where we saw more
graduate brothers than ever

in recent memory attend!
While this last semester
was extremely productive,
we have a lot to look forward to in the fall. We are already planning several major
events, including a number
of community service projects, a brotherhood retreat
and, of course, FOTM.
With so much to look forward to in the future, I would
like to give a massive thanks
to the graduating brothers
that have helped turn the
house into what it is today
and I wish them success in
all of their future endeavors.
The chapter’s future is
extremely bright and I look
forward to the challenges
that will be presented this semester. I hope you share my
enthusiasm!

brothers from all six decades of Alpha Sigma
Jody Watkins ’91, owner of San Diego, Calif.-based Watkins Landmark Construction, poses in front of construction equipment. Watkins said Fiji has impacted many parts of
his life, from attending Islander with the woman who would later be his wife to how he conducts meetings for his business.

Watkins said he is mighty
proud about many of the
chapter’s accomplishments.
During the 1990 spring semester, the chapter had the
highest GPA of all fraternities
on campus and finished first in
the campus-wide blood drive
for the 26th straight semester.
Watkins said he and his pledge
brothers helped push Fiji back
to the top on campus.

2010s
Recent graduate eliminated debt as treasurer
Steven Tripoli ’12 of Stormville, N.Y. graduated in December.
What do you do for a
living?
I work for ITCSN where we
go into large corporations and
make more efficient automatic
energy management systems.
Why did you rush Fiji?
My roommate convinced
me to rush, and on bid day
we both decided to go Fiji together. Sadly, he didn’t make it
through the pledge process to
initiation.
What are some of favorite
memories from your college days?
I really enjoyed living at the
Fiji house for my senior year.
That was a great experience
in itself. Before living there, I
enjoyed putting on Fiji on the
Mountain as a pledge in 2011.
to see more than 120 brothers, because then you lose the
family feeling.
Also being on the Executive
Board as treasurer.
Do you still keep in contact with other Fijis?
Yes. Being one of the first
to graduate, I still keep in contact with most of my pledge
class and a lot of the undergrads.
How did your experience
with Fiji impact you after
college?
I keep persistence in the
back of my head. I need to
give it my all to get what I
want in life because nothing is
handed to me. It also gave me
so many memories.
What’s one piece of advice you would give the
undergrads of the chapter?
You should take everything
lightly and enjoy it while it
lasts because you only get it
once in a life.
Where would you like
to see this house in the
future?
I would definitely like to
still have the house around, to
continue to be a positive influence on the community, to
convince ASU that Greek life
is beneficial to campus and
maybe get an official chapter
house. I like the number we
are at now and wouldn’t like
How did being on the
Executive Board change
your views and impact
you?
Being on Exec. made me
the man I am today. It taught
me how to set goals and
achieve them and to rise to
the challenge. It took a lot of
effort to please 80 college boys
and even more to try and collect money from them.
Also, learning how to talk
to adults and please the graduate brothers was a challenge
that prepared me for the real
world. I would do it again if I
had the choice, even though it
was a lot harder to do than to
sit and talk about. I took pleasure in clearing $15,000 of
debt that the chapter had.

2000s
Attorney urges putting career before social life
Matt Hum ’07 is both a Sun
Devil and a Wildcat after attending law school at the University of Arizona after graduation from ASU.
Where did you grow up?
Chandler-Gilbert,
Ariz.
Growing up in Gilbert and
watching it develop carried
me to go to ASU, a more chaotic environment. Watching
your hometown develop definitely prepares you for life experience in college.
What do you do for a living?
I’m an attorney. I solo practice. I work a lot on the weekends. I’ve become very dedicated. I do go out, I do have
some fun. But it’s hard to be
a weekend warrior when you
have to treat Saturdays like
a Monday. If you want to really make an impact on your
career, you sometimes need
to put your social life on the
back burner.
What are your plans for
the future?
I would like to grow my
firm, hire more attorneys and
be well respected in civil litigations, specifically business
litigations.
Attorneys do make good
money, but when you get
down to it, the money is going to come, especially when
you take an extra three years
of school.
When you have integrity
and you work hard, the money is going to come as well. I
think it’s important to have
integrity, especially in the field
of law, where the profession is
centered on integrity itself.
What made you rush Fiji?
When I first rushed, it was
a different time. The chapter at
the time was going through a
struggle, but what really stood
out to me was the brotherhood and the quality of the
brothers in the house, and
that what was most important
to me in a fraternity.
What are some of your
favorite memories from
your college days?
My favorite memories were
when the house was down to
literally like five guys, and we
became best friends. They are
the core of my friendships to
this day. It was definitely a
unique experience.
Do you still keep in contact with many Fijis?
Those five guys that I spent
most of my college days with.
I still talk to those guys all the
time.
How did your Fiji experience impact you after
college?
I would say my Fiji experience made me more social
and socially capable. When I
first went to college, I was a
pretty shy kid.
I was more reserved,
and being in Fiji definitely
brought out my confidence
and personality and gave me
the courage to tackle life’s
challenges.
If you had one piece of
advice for undergraduate
brothers, what would it
be?
Enjoy your time in college,
but don’t waste your time in
college. In the end, college is
still about getting an education. Without an education,
all those good times mean
nothing.
Where do you want to see
the house in the future?
I think because of the struggle’s we had when I was there,
I never had very high hopes. I
always wanted the house to be
bigger and better than when
we had it. And that’s what it’s
at right now. Anything as long
as you don’t go backward is a
step in the right direction.

1960s
One of the first: Colony president recalls chartering
By John Sullivan ’13
T
OM whITeLOCk ’65
had leadership experience as student body president of Phoenix College and
was interested and active in
public relations. For these reasons, when he came to Arizona State University in the early
1960s, a new fraternity colony
on campus — Fiji — sought
him out to become a member.
He would soon become the
colony president and watch
the colony receive its charter
the year of his graduation.
“We started out with about
15 guys,” Whitelock said of
the early days of the colony.
“It was an uphill battle, but we
had a very select group of men
come in as initial members.”
The colony included individuals skilled in academics
and athletics, studying majors
Whitelock is a member of the Sons of
the American Revolution.
including engineering, business and architecture.
“There was diversity as far
as ideas and cooperation,”
Whitelock said. “We pulled
together to make an impression on the fraternity scene by
winning a number of activities in Greek Week and competitions during Homecoming events.”
As the original colony
members initially lacked the
bonding that comes with
pledgeship and had a wide array of opinions on what the
colony should look like, it
took hard work to get the colony off the ground. In the first
couple years of the colony,
brothers from the University
of Arizona guided the ASU
members in terms of organization, morals and policies.
Whitelock was born and
raised in Phoenix (“I was one
of the few that wasn’t an Indian,” he said), which in his
childhood had fewer residents
than ASU has students today.
He moved to the Dallas area
in 1974. He has been retired
from the logistics industry
“forever” and has a wife and
a son.
“At 72, it’s time to kick back
and try to take care of a few
things that I’ve passed over in
years past,” Whitelock said.
In his free time, Whitelock
is a member of the National
Society of Sons of the American Revolution, an organization composed of men who
can trace their roots to ancestors who were active in the
American Revolution.
His memories of his undergraduate days include Fiji
Islander in the desert and
formal and informal athletics
with brothers.
Whitelock said undergraduate brothers should take
the lessons and values of the
fraternity seriously and help
mold pledges and younger
brothers. The chapter should
maintain a good academic
standing and support ASU
and the community.
Michael Ratzken ’13 contributed to this report.
1970s
’70s grad stresses importance of ‘Not for college days alone’
Jess Roman ’72 was born in
Phoenix and still lives there.
He works in commercial
banking.
What are you plans for
the future?
Continuing to be a good
parent and grandparent and
a good leader in the community.
What are your favorite
hobbies?
Working out and sketching.
Why did you decide to
rush Fiji?
I really liked the culture of
the house and all of the brothers seemed like great guys.
They were the kind of guys
that I wanted to be around.
What are your favorite
memories from your college days?
I loved going to football
games and, of course, Islander. When I was there, we had a
strip of grass by the fraternity
house, and it was just fun to
go out with a couple brothers
and throw a football around.
How did your Fiji experi-
ence impact you after
college?
After college I was more
confident in developing relationships with other people
and being able to communicate effectively.
What is your advice for
undergraduate brothers?
Just to be serious about appreciating the time you have
at school and with the brothers in the house because time
flies, and before you know it,
you’ll already have graduated.
So appreciate your time there
and get as involved as pos-
sible.
Do you still keep in contact with many Fijis?
Oh yeah. The phrase “Not
for college days alone” is real.
Many undergrads don’t understand that until they graduate, so appreciate the time
you have with your brothers
and get close to them.
I still keep in contact with
at least six other brothers on
a daily basis, as well as several
others that I see on a monthly
basis.

WATKINS, from page 3
Having heard of Phi
Gamma Delta, Watkins was
interested in pledging the
minute he made it onto the
ASU campus. He missed rush,
but was able to get in touch
with the recruitment chairman and received the bid that
began his journey.
Today, Watkins owns and
operates Watkins Landmark
Construction in San Diego,
Calif. The company serves all
of southern California.
Watkins utilizes the values
of Phi Gamma Delta day-today in the workplace by frequently reciting the last three
lines of Calvin Coolidge’s
“Persistence” quote in business meetings to keep staff
members working at their
best abilities.
The then-treasurer of
Kappa Alpha Theta ended up
marrying Watkins, perhaps
due in part to the lovely poems he wrote for her before
Fiji Islander. Today, Watkins
and his wife have a son and
a daughter, neither of whom
will attend the University of
Arizona, Watkins said.
In the future, Watkins
would love to expand his
company to Phoenix and get
involved with the undergraduate chapter.
