The room really was much too big.
Wearing a surprised expression, Delta Lambda Phi president Jake Aebly walked tentatively into the Red Gymâ??s On Wisconsin room, which is as spacious as a basketball gymnasium. His eyes were wide as he looked around.
â??This is not the room I requested!â? he said to fraternity brotherhood director Michael Balen, who had been sitting alone in the room, waiting for eight or so of his brothers to join him. They had more space, comically more space, than they needed for their business meeting that Sunday night last December. Balen looked amused. Aebly did not.
