Congratulations to Chris Roller, David Nettleton, Caleb Braff, and Jacob Newbowers as the pledge class of Fall 2008.

Lots of us went to Platteville for Nate's Bachelor Party. It was a good time. Congratulations.

Here's the latest buzz from Triangle. We had a great Hawaiian Beach Party last Friday. It was an amazing time, thanks to everyone who came around. Brian Bagin (pledge) is running AOPi's Omicron King. Good luck to him. Lastly, how about all that snow on the ground? At least it's not April yet. Oh wait, that's tomorrow.

We've named not one, but two sweethearts as a result of Miss Calculation week. There've been so many memories from the past week that will be remembered till old age kicks in. All the candidates were pretty much amazing and thanks for giving us the opportunity to get to know you. But, we'd like to invite into our family Corissa Funk from Delta Gamma as Miss Calculation, and Jessica Bubert from Beta of Clovia as Lady Transit. We look forward to a fantastic year.

Triangle Fraternity is pleased to announce our Miss Calculation sweetheart competition and philanthropy, to be held February 4th-8th! During this week Triangle Fraternity invites all campus sororities to participate in a friendly competition, the winner of which will hold the title of Miss Calculation for the coming year. This past year Courtney Gallo of Alpha Omicron Pi took home the award, and this year's candidates will be hard pressed to match the enthusiasm she showed during Miss Calculation 2007. All proceeds from this week will be donated to the Emergency Foodshelf Network here in the Twin Cities, an organization our chapter has worked with for several years. Best of luck to all candidates, as this should be a very exciting week!

Triangle, along with our pairing of Evan's Scholars, Delta Chi, and Kappa Kappa Gamma, took first place in the combined Homecoming Housefront/Float competition, constructing a colossal silhouette of Bob Dylan across the front of Delta Chi Fraternity's house on University Avenue. Homecoming was a blast and our pairing came out strong in all events. Congratulations to all involved!

Brothers Martin Dale Lyness and Shuo Wang have created a poster for the University of Minnesota Undergraduate Symposium. It is pretty big (2.16 MBs) and is available for your viewing pleasure here.

The 100th year of Triangle is coming up, and that is a very good reason to celebrate. Information about festivities in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area can be found here! Check it out and join in on the fun.

Minutes for Sunday's Open Meeting have been posted.

Changed the main page backend so that it is now working with PHP and mysql. There is now a module that allows easy access and postings to add new news. This is available in the administration section of the webpage for all members. Upcoming work will include adding a page for alumni.

Brother Martin has finished the beta version of the site search module. Now users can easily navigate using either the navigation menu, the Site Map, or the Search Engine. Responses to the search engine and its usefulness are always welcome. You can send your comments directly to triangle or post it to the wall.

So this week brother Shuo Wang and brother Martin Lyness have been working diligently on getting some extra functionality into the new layout. Currently the About Us sections are operation, the first Photo Gallery is up, and the Contact Us from is working. Soon all of the basic functionality should be available and live for public use.

Thanks to the php skills of brother Martin Lyness we now have a Wall script on the right hand side of each page. This wall script allows anyone to post their thoughts about the page or triangle in general. Each page keeps track of where each post was given but the wall by default displays the 10 newest posts from all pages.

The new layout and cool features have been implemented into the site by Martin Dale Lyness and Shuo Wang. Shout of thanks goes out to them for doing such a good job.

Martin Lyness designed a new layout for our fraternities web site. It uses the celtic DT found on Triangle National's web page and some cool graphic techniques available from Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
