Here’s a little Tozier story that I heard around
1993 that I’ve always remembered:

During the Depression, Tozier visited the faltering Gamma-Delta Zeta at Vanderbilt. Membership was small and funds even smaller.
While showing himself around the house soon after his arrival, he noted that the only food in the house were a few eggs and some coffee.

That evening the brothers instructed their butler (who probably worked for just food and shelter) to ask brother Brown what he wanted for supper, go to the grocer for the food, and cook it up. They emptied their pockets, hoping the small sum would be enough to cover the meal.

When the butler asked Tozier what he would like for dinner, he of course answered “Oh, just some eggs and coffee.”

Unfortunately the Depression claimed G.D. Zeta which remained closed until colonized in 1991 and rechartered in 1993.

Thank you so very much Brother George for this article about another fine Brother who had so much to do with forming Lambda Chi Alpha into what it is today. This coming from you is apropo as you too have been so instrumental in building our great Fraternity. My thanks go out to both of you which has made me a proud Brother since 1966 as you well know!

In ZAX,

Great job George; just a Tozier would have expected.

Brother Spasyk and my Fellow Brothers at Indianapolis,
These are just the words to lift my spirits at a time when our nation is going through a rough patch. We always come out of it because of the tough, brotherly love, coming from a Tozier
Brown. Great article, and even greater inspiration! Yours in Zax, Tom Jack, Gamma Iota, 1977.
