"1950s"

I'm a '59 graduate, and was presiding senior that year. . "Joseph S. Lawton, M.D."
 

"1960s"

 "We were in the group who moved from 33rd Street across from Mutual of Omaha and bought the building on Dewey.
We had planned to build a 20-30 individual room place just north of the ""new"" med.complex but interest rates increased .25% and wiped out our plans :(.
I think that there are several Chi alumni on the staff in the school and a bunch in the area." "John Rixon"
 

"1970s"

"We had a tradition during our time there that revolved around the concept of the 'bro box'. Anybody heard of this currently?" "Ray Matthews, MD"

"I lived at Phi Chi as a freshman in 1976-77. My daughter, Anne Haugen, will join the class of 2010 this Fall. She will start med school exactly 30 yrs after I did.
I had a great time there. It was the late 70's. Picture the basement in full disco mode!       "Steve Haugen Class of 1980"

"1990s"

 "Lived at Phi Chi 95-99. I painted the house exterior the cream color in 96 for free rent, still looks pretty good. Also built the bar in the basement and chopped down about 50 trees that were in the yard. Homeless people used to live in the trees in the yard, almost on a daily basis. Good years there, we had a good relationship with the UNMC Phi Chi down the street as well." "Jeffrey Burock"

"2000s"

 "I lived there from 1999 to 2002. I lived in the annex for all three years that I was there, and had a great time. One of the things that I remember most is that the upstairs rooms, where I stayed, had this busted out window. Of course, we didn't have a lot of disposable cash, so during the winters to conserve on heat, we would put up plastic over the windows. So during the winder months, all I had was the piece of plastic between me and the Omaha winters. Mornings were very interesting, let me tell you. " "Robert Gould"

I'm glad to see that you all are trying to keep the house well and to restart/continue the alumni page. I graduated in 2002 and was the house president for three years. It's hard to believe I'll be graduating residency in another 6 months. Beth lives only three blocks from me and I see her often at the hospital. She is doing well, if you haven't heard from her. Intern year is tough. Continue taking care of the house and its traditions so that it may be passed on." "Melissa.Chiasson"
