What is life like for you today? Chances are Fiji played a role. Whether you landed a job, met your wife, or gained lifelong friends, there are many reasons to be thankful for your Fiji experience.

Here are our top 5:

• Our shared aim at honoring our values of Friendship, Knowledge, Service, Morality and Excellence, set forth by our founders—which we’re practicing in our careers and personal lives today
• The many diverse friendships we established at the House that define who we are even today
• Our Gamma Chapter House at 640 Russell, which helped make Purdue truly feel like home(and still serves as our home when we return as graduates)
• Our continuous support of the Red Cross and being able to put others before ourselves, which likely shines through in your charitable giving within your own community as an adult
• Let’s not forget the Purdue Football games, which you undoubtedly enjoyed via the full fall Saturday experience: the tailgate, the after parties, your Brothers at your yelling “Boiler Up!” as you cheer the Boilermakers to victory at Ross-Ade Stadium.

We hope you’ll hold your memories of Fiji near to you always and, as you give thanks this holiday season, remember that you have the halls of 640 Russell to thank as the stepping stone to the success you enjoy today.
