    Ed's Kappa Manual


    Help yourself to the Fraternity Education package put together by Ed Friedlander, M.D., our faculty advisor and page-maintainer. In 1993, he served briefly as High Kappa for Sigma Rho Zeta. Perhaps other High Kappas can find something they can use, and other Choppers may find something entertaining as well.

    If your browser were Java-capable, you would see the Kappa's Quiz here.

    The Java applets all work, but sometimes fail to load. Any Choppers out there who can help me with this problem? Thanks!

    Sigma Rho Zeta By-Laws

    Help yourself to Ed's no-baloney, 1996 article, The Case Against Marijuana .

    If your browser were java-capable, you could shoot off the Lambda Chi Alpha Fireworks here.

    Need Help with a College Paper?

    E-mail Ed at erf@alum.uhs.edu . Reasonably good both in humanities and sciences. Write "In ZAX" as your subject line. If you're sending the draft of a paper, send it as an attachement in the form of an ASCII textfile, and include some evidence that you're a Lambda Chi. Turnaround time is usually 24 hours or less.
