Six Fijis Named Kentucky Colonels

Mitch White, Chaz Vittitow, Jordan Minton, Justin Cave, Tyler Jury and Wade Haga were recently named Kentucky Colonels. Kentucky Colonels are appointed by the sitting Governor and a Secretary of State. While every Colonel is appointed with this distinct honor for different reasons, the organization recognizes strength of character, leadership and dedication to the welfare of others.  Fiji’s Across America has raised over $40,000 for Alzheimer’s research and biked over 3,200 miles across the county to bring awareness to the nation.

The Fijis Across America reach Yorktown, VA on the Atlantic Ocean coast.

They made it! Friday, the Fijis Across America reached Yorktown, Va on schedule. The journey started on May 25 and 3,200 miles and 55 days later, the men arrived in Yorktown with their front wheels in the Atlantic Ocean!

More importantly, they raised over $40,000 for Alzheimer’s research thus far. Their mission is not over though. If you have not contributed to fundraiser for Alzheimer’s research, you still can at www.fijisacrossamerica.com.

Congratulations to Tyler Jury, Chaz Vittitow, Mitch White, Wade Haga, Justin Cave and Jordan Minton. We are mighty proud of you all!

The Founding Fathers of the Chi Eta Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta, founded May 1, 2010.

It was a very surreal moment on Saturday May 1st, 2010.  For the Phi Gamma Delta Chi Eta chapter, the past 18 months had been a time of trials and tribulations but also a time of strong bonding and brotherhood.  With all founding members at the Topper Club the night of May 1st, 18 months of memories flashed before their eyes as the drape over the Phi Gamma Delta Chi Eta charter was unveiled with a roaring applause from everyone in the room.  Chapter President, Chaz Vittitow, accepted the charter from the fraternity legate, Ben Harper, with a smile on his face bright enough to put even the thunder and lightning of the stormy night to shame.  It was a very surreal moment for the WKU Fiji’s but well deserved and appreciated.
