Tyler Johnson
Witness for the Prosecution
My name is Tyler Johnson. I am a senior here at Columbus University and I am also the
vice-president of the Columbus University Chapter of the Phi Gamma Fraternity. Chris and I
worked together to plan all of the Gamma events. We are also in charge of pledges and co-plan
all of their activities. I was head of New Gammas when I was a freshman at Columbus. Usually,
being the head of New Gammas means that you are the most promising new member of the
fraternity, and will likely become president of the fraternity when you are a senior. However,
when I became a senior, Chris Archer was elected president instead of me. I couldn’t believe it!
That back stabber was supposed to be my friend. I also can’t believe that the other Gammas
elected him/her to be the president. I knew one day the entire fraternity would find out Chris’
true colors and regret electing him/her to such an important position. I bet they regret it now!
Fortunately, if Chris goes to jail for this horrible crime, as vice-president I will automatically
assume his/her position as president. When that happens, I will make this fraternity great again.
I got to know Milan pretty well when she pledged our fraternity. I liked her right away.
She was smart, good-looking and really enthusiastic about Gamma. She was exactly what we
look for in a Gamma. When I met her during rush week, I told her why being a Gamma is so
special. Being a part of any fraternity or sorority is like having your own home away from home.
It means being a part of a college family. We all support and look out for each other. Even after
we graduate, Gammas are known for keeping in touch and doing a lot of professional and social
networking. Gammas throw wonderful parties, but we are also really concerned about social and
political issues. We believe in giving back to the community.
I also remember a statement that Chris made to Milan the first day we met her during rush
week. Chris said, “If you really want to impress us, you can hang the Gamma flag on the top of
the clock tower.” Then s/he smiled. I could not believe that Chris would even suggest such a
Convention
