Society Alumni/Alumnae:
Last week, you received a communication from Lancer Ted Horton-Billard '77 regarding the Lancer/Metaphonian suspension. This week, the active members of the Lancer Society have voluntarily written an open letter of apology to the entire Whittier College community, which was published in the September 30 edition of the Quaker Campus newspaper.
As this letter is addressed to all affected, including Whittier College alumni, the Office of Alumni Relations has chosen to aid the efforts of these young men, and share with you now their public message:

Fellow Society Alumni & Alumnae:
As I am sure many of you have by now heard through your actives and other channels, a serious incident that occurred last spring during the pledging process has resulted in the Inter Society Council's termed suspension of the Lancer and Metaphonian Societies.
Before more is divulged about this matter, it is critical to note that while this decidedly affects the students who participated in the incident, it ultimately should not-and will not-affect the health and wellbeing of the Lancer and Metaphonian Societies. We have spoken with President Herzberger, and are assured that the College is fully committed to ensuring that our organizations will survive and grow. Our scheduled alumni activities will continue as planned, including our Homecoming Brunches, All-Society Mixer, etc., though the current students may not be allowed to participate (and if they are, hopefully we alumni can look forward to a formal apology from these students). And, the College will be asking us-the Lancer and Metaphonian alumni-to assist in the efforts to reinstate both organizations as quickly as possible, and help guide these young actives toward a better and wiser path that does not jeopardize our beloved societies, but rather preserves their otherwise respective good standing and reputation.

 In mid-November 2008 the Lancer Society was notified that Mo Marumoto had passed away of a heart attack while driving. It is a huge loss to both the Lancer Society as well as Whittier College. Mo was an exceptional alumni not only through his support of Whittier College, but especially to our society. While on campus, Mo represented Lancer proudly through his work as Student Body President. As an alumni, he was key to planning and coordinating our 5 year anniversaries, in addition to his many other contributions. Both during and after his time at Whitter College, Mo embodied everything that Lancer seeks to instill in each of us. |
