LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT STEVE THOMPSON, MIN 1995

I am so pleased with the progress the Fraternity has made this school year.

It has been so fulfilling to see classrooms full, chapter houses vibrant, and chapter meetings spirited. As we wind down the year, we are poised to recruit more new members than any year in the Fraternity’s history. Let that sink in – in 190 years, this will be the largest group of young men brought into the brotherhood ever.

In addition to record recruitment, I am pleased to have met most of the Chapter Presidents in Jan January at our Annual Leadership Summit in Minneapolis. Those who attended were high quality, high integrity individuals worthy of the legacy of our organization. Along with some local alumni, my family and I were pleased to join these emerging leaders for fun and games at Top Golf - even if the temperature was in the single digits! As they returned to their campuses, our brothers were energized and equipped to lead their chapters.

As we get closer to the end of our fiscal year, the trends lead me to believe that I’ll have lots of good news to share at the convention in Philadelphia, as we had a tremendous year of growth and improvement in the International organization. Overall, our Fraternity is strong!

Thinking about convention, I am so excited to see many of you in person.

Philadelphia is one of my favorite cities and I am looking forward to our convention, the events, and sharing the experience with all of my brothers.

This year’s theme is Building on the Past - Focus on the Future. As we gather in the birthplace of our nation, I’m excited to lean on our past while preparing our chapter leaders to navigate the future of Alpha Delta Phi. I hope this latest edition of Xaipe finds you and your families well, excited for the future, and planning your trip to the convention in August.

>> HISTORIC ACQUISITION FROM EELLS FAMILY Thanks to the generous contributions of Samuel Eells, Jr. Williams 1957, Alpha Delta Phi obtained the original badge of his great-great uncle and founder of Alpha Delta Phi Samuel Eells, Hamilton 1832.

Along with the slab badge, Brother Eells donated a century’s old leather bound song book, a large framed drawing of the former Hamilton Chapter House and four pages of a hand-written letter from the Founder which reflects on the founding of Alpha Delta Phi. In the letter, regarding the creation of the badge, Eells writes: “They were to be made of fine gold; on the front side of the star were to be the letters !.".#., and on the reverse a monument with the sword and spear crossing each other and lying over the monument with the edge and point turned upward.”

ABOVE: Original Slab Badge of the Founder of Alpha Delta Phi, Samuel Eells. Donated to "#$ by the Eells Family.

While writing about the other Founding Members, Eells describes the first meeting of the Fraternity. Eells writes: “The first meeting was held in my room No. 15, back-middle Kirkland Hall. It was only a meeting for conversation, no presiding officer was appointed and no minutes were taken.”

Alpha Delta Phi would like to sincerely thank Sam, Betsy, and the entire Eells family for these incredibly generous gifts to the Fraternity.

Having these artifacts in our collection is such a meaningful addition to our storied history.

GREEKHEADLINES FRATERNITIES PREVAIL AT YALE In 2016, Yale students formed the organization Engender, which seeks to advocate equity and inclusion on and around campus. Their first initiative was to integrate the school’s gender-segregated Greek life organizations.

When several of their female-identifying members were denied membership from multiple fraternities, the organization sued Yale and some of the fraternities - including Alpha Delta Phi - in 2019 for denying them access to fair housing.

The initial complaint was filed with the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities, which was dismissed, paving the way for the women to bring suit in federal district court. The federal district court complaint named nine men's fraternities at Yale, as well as their respective house corporations and national organizations.

The court granted the fraternity entities’ motion to dismiss, and dismissed all of the plaintiffs' causes of action against them. The plaintiffs later appealed those dismissals to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. After oral arguments were heard in October, the Second Circuit concluded that the plaintiffs lacked standing, but allowed the case to go back to the district court on a technical issue.

The decision of the Second Circuit states: “…the Second Amended Complaint (SAC) lacks any allegations that any Plaintiff ever sought housing with a fraternity or expressed – or had – an interest in such housing. It lacks any allegation even that any specific individual fraternity defendant provides housing to its members, as opposed to its building serving as a gathering place for members. Instead, as alleged, Plaintiffs sought only membership with the fraternity defendants. Plaintiffs argue that their claimed housing

12 | XAIPE

injuries are fairly traceable to defendant fraternities because housing in a fraternity hinges on membership in a fraternity, which in turn is predicated upon sex. But the SAC does not allege that any Plaintiff had an interest in obtaining such housing upon attaining membership.”

The district court gave the plaintiffs a chance to amend their complaint, but the plaintiffs decided to voluntarily dismiss their case and walk away from the litigation.

This is a historic win for fraternities, having prevailed at each stage of the litigation. The North American Interfraternity Conference (NIC) played an integral role in helping fraternities defend and win this litigation at every phase.

Alpha Delta Phi thanks the NIC for their unwavering support during this lengthy process.

CRITICAL 60 MINUTES FEATURE

GALLUP: FRATERNITIES ARE RELEVANT

Focusing on the tragic story of Sam Martinez, a new member of Alpha Tau Omega at Washington State University, who died in November 2019 due to the forced consumption of alcohol, CBS’s 60 Minutes and Anderson Cooper questioned in compelling fashion on November 28, 2021, the methods today’s college fraternity leaders are employing to rid their organizations of such threatening behaviors. Contending information presentation was void of additional interviews and data provided by the North American Interfraternity Conference, members of the NIC’s governing council issued a response following the broadcast. Read more at nicfratetnirty.org/nic-statements.

As found in a recent Gallup survey conducted on behalf of the North American Interfraternity Conference and National Panhellenic Conference in early 2021, joining a fraternity provides a multitude of benefits and opportunities for students. Among other notable findings, affiliated alumni were found to have significant experiences in college that helped them feel more connected to their schools, find great jobs, and live better lives after graduation. They also are more likely to give back to their school and organization. Across the board fraternity men are more satisfied with their lives, seeing an increase in their career, social, financial, community and physical well-beings.

HANDHELD HERITAGE KEVIN THACH BRITISH COLUMBIA 2017

I

n a few weeks from now, The Daily Hive, a pop culture website based out of Vancouver, will be working with British Columbia brother Kevin Thach, BC 2012, owner-operator of two Vancouver-based food trucks, to rollout something truly new: a McRib inspired Banh Mi. For Thach, this recent partnership marks another step in his journey that dates back to the rollout of his first food truck three years ago. Despite the pandemic, and the many challenges it brought to the food industry, Thach’s emerging Vietnamese-inspired food trucks managed not only to thrive, but grow. Aiming to blend traditional Vietnamese recipes with modern techniques, Thach opened his first truck, “NaMi”, in the spring of 2019. Offering traditional dishes such as Banh Mi and Vermicelli Noodle Bowls, the first truck, located in downtown Vancouver saw enough success for Thach to rollout an additional truck, as well as a new “ghost kitchen” focused around a vegetable-forward concept.

Despite these recent successes and growth, the decision to open a food truck was not always a lifeIn long dream of Thach’s. Instead, it was an area of interest for his father, whom he noted was a major source of inspiration when it came to his decision to open his first food truck. Moreover, the choice also was borne out of his desire to start and operate his own business. After graduating from UBC, Thach took a job in sales, selling payroll software. Upon finding it unsatisfying and longing for something more, Thach quickly left.

Luckily for him, he was able to lean on his

knowledge of Vietnamese cooking and his experience growing up in the restaurant world as he sought out that next step. His parents, who immigrated to Canada from Vietnam, opened their own brick and mortar restaurant in Vancouver, Pho Thai Hoa back in the 90’s. Growing up in this world gave him familiarity with Vietnamese classics, such as Banh Mi, spring rolls, and salad rolls - all items that appear on NaMi’s menu today. More importantly, it provided him with a level of mentorship and a helping hand that would be crucial to the success of his food trucks. In fact, it is Thach’s mother who is instrumental in much of the prep work that goes into ensuring that each truck is well equipped for service.

Stepping back to his life in the British Columbia Chapter, it was his experiences in chapter leadership roles that proved to be vital, transferable skills to the world of food trucks. While he played an active role in cooking group dinners and preparing the annu-al Thanksgiving meal, it was those leadership experiences, not cooking, that strengthened his ability to make quick decisions on the fly and to handle turmoil. Serving as both a new member educator and social chair, it was

!"# FOOD & BEVERAGE ISSUE finding a way to create order out of the controlled chaos that became the new member process which proved to be highly valuable. While running a food truck is obviously a bit different than educating new members in the ways of the fraternity, the need for organizational structure and solid logistics is clear. In reality, it is those very operational elements that Thach takes the most joy in solving and working to improve. Due to the cramped nature of food trucks, figuring out clear logistics and working to maximize efficiency is a key determining factor in the success or failure of a truck. One such area was the ability to bring down the staffing of a truck to two individuals, with the majority of their work revolving around assembly. In moving a lot of the preparatory cooking out of the truck, Thach was able to focus more time on sales and reaching h i s c u stomers. In fact,

he has perfected the prep work to such a degree that he is able to fully operate one of his food trucks entirely by himself.

That flexibility and efficiency proved to be a key lifeline as the pandemic brought the food industry to a halt. While the food truck may not have been affected by the same restrictions that hindered in-person dining, the nature of remote work jeopardized so much of the downtown food traffic that is vital to his business. It potentially represented a shattering blow to a fledgling business. But, in fact, it was the very nature of food trucks that allowed him ample time to streamline operations. Whereas brick and mortar locations cannot easily afford to close shop and retool, the fact that food trucks are inherently seasonal operations allowed for the flexibility to take downtime and plan. It was in this very downtime that many of the logistical and operational efficiencies were perfected, ultimately turning the pandemic into a sort of forced business lesson that has proved to re remain remarkably effective even as restrictions were lifted.

Emerging from the worst of the pandemic, Thach’s food trucks are performing better than ever. He is up to 10 employees and is now focused around scaling potentialup his trucks - with the hope of one day potential ly opening a physical storefront. When asked about his long-term goals for the business, Thach was still unsure but this uncertainty is cer certainly no cause for concern. Ultimately, he is right where he wants to be as he gets to spend his days focusing on the sort of tinkering and improvement that he loves, while also fulfilling a lifelong dream of managing his own business.

real recipe for his success lies in his distinctive style of hospitality, one that’s set a new standard for the industry. He will tell you that the true art of hospitality goes beyond food. “It’s about adding how we made you feel to the way the food tasted because in the end, how you make them feel is what they remember.

We remind our employees that they’re not in the restaurant business – this isn’t a restaurant, it’s a hospitality box, where we sell happiness and emotional comfort, not food”. So while other restaurants may have higher food scores or service scores, USHG restaurants

admirable traits like kindness, optimism,

work ethic, curious intelligence, empathy, self-awareness and integrity, HQ isn’t something you can measure, and it can’t be trained.

You have to possess a natural ability to intuit what people want so you can consistently deliver an impressive experience.

Meyer also urges his team to know what’s important to each customer so they can create a customized dining experience for them. He describes each bit of learning i.e. where they like to sit, dietary preferences, what they’ve ordered in the past etc., as a “dot”, and he encourages his staff to “collect dots so they can connect the dots”.

This level of attention to detail goes beyond hospitality to what Meyer likes to call Enlightened Hospitality, a style of service that effortlessly blurs the line between staff and customer.

It's always gratifying to know that Alpha Delta Phi has produced such accomplished men of character like Danny Meyer. It would be even better if we could take some of the credit for Meyer’s success, but in truth, his brothers at Phi Kappa unknowingly dealt him his first “failure” in the food business. That was the year that Meyer campaigned to be the Steward of the chapter’s food program only to come out on the losing end to Brother Dudley.

Danny may have lost the vote but he definitely got the last laugh. That was the year that we were served a lot of boiled hot dogs and beer when we could have been enjoying Bollito di Vitello and Barolo. If only we had known then what we know now…

Initially a class project, the idea for Joe Chocolates came from the need for a daily cup of coffee on a long hike. Determined to satisfy his craving for caffeine (and food), a group of friends started turning their business-school idea into the perfect hiking snack: lightweight, all natural, caffeine-rich, and packaged so it couldn't melt into his ex-pensive hiking gear. It didn’t take long before they realized that handmade, naturally caffeinated dark chocolate is a crowd pleaser.

Founded in 2015, an idea was formed while on a self assigned mission to bake “The Perfect Batch” of cookies. After many test batches and finely-tuned recipes, Dan began selling cookies at events around San Francisco. His local customer base grew when he started selling cookies on-demand at night, leaving his day job in 2019 to bake full-time. He opened his first storefront in July 2020, taking over the lease of the cookie shop he’d grown up with in his hometown.

Vos Selections was founded in 1987 when Founder Victor Owen Schwartz moved to France to pursue his personal dream of bringing artisanal wines from undiscovered appellations to the New York market. He absorbed the philosophy of vignerons (wine-farmers): great wine can only be made on a human scale by human hands and minds. Today, VOS Selections honors those founding principles with wines and spirits from 16 different countries and 5 continents, where every single product is carefully selected for its quality and authenticity.

Founded in 2012 by four friends who dreamed for years of starting a craft brewery. Two Roads fosters a “road less traveled” philosophy in the beers they make and how they make them. In that spirit, the brewmaster has created an extensive lineup that takes a unique twist on classic beer styles.

Tw o R o a d s w a s named one of the ten best breweries in America

by Paste Magazine and has won many awards including gold for Belgian Lambic style Ale in 2016 at the Great American Beer Festival. Two Roads isn’t just the logo on a brewery building, it’s their philosophy. “Life always seems to offer up two ways to go. It just so happens, we prefer the one less taken and having some fun along the way – in our lives, our careers and especially for our beers!”

MORE THAN A CHEF FEEDING CHAPTERS IS MORE THAN FOOD In many ways, she’s more than a chef. As Chef Jennifer Lewandowski prepares to open the walls of her new kitchen in the freshly renovated Washington Chapter house this year, we sat down with her to better understand what feeding 80+ Alpha Delts (three meals a day) is really like. In our conversation, we didn’t talk much about food preparation, favorite meals, or who cleans all those dishes after each meal but rather

24 | XAIPE

Jen shared her experience running a safe space for undergraduate students to share their world around the dinner table in hopes of creating a closer brotherhood and a stronger chapter. By bringing students into the kitchen, Jen is doing her part to create the whole man and the results show in the quality of young men in Seattle. Her role is more than managing a kitchen or feeding hoards of hungry college students. While her meals are top-notch, her great-

est value comes in the form of the community she’s building.

Among the many hats Jen wears are, therapist, career coach, handy-woman (before our visit she was spotted sanding and refinishing the dining room tables), and sometimes mom. She’s a cheerleader for "her boys” in their daily lives and between meals, she can be found coaching them from a difficult situation in their relationships or just listening about things happening in their home lives.

Jen is an Alpha Delt ambassador in every sense of the word. Her passion and energy is infectious and her inquisitive nature always has her asking about other chapters. She’s even taken time out of her personal travel plans to cook for other chapters - Minnesota and Lambda Phi. During our visit, we talked about how food and open dialogue around a meal can positively impact the behavs rib t or sh ior and culture of a chapter. aised beef >> Chef Jen’s br a nt le Sharing a communal meal po over parmesan offers brothers a chance to share their lives with each other on a more intimate level. This allows each brother to have a better understanding of what's going on in their lives so they can relate better and have more empathy. All things she considers to be qualities desperately needed in today's world.

THANK YOU CHEF MIKE! CALIFORNIA For 23 years Chef Mike Burke has not only fed the California Chapter but he’s been an unwavering positive force in the house.

Chef Mike enters retirement this year after feeding and nurturing the men of the California Chapter. You’ll be dearly missed, but we hope you have a relaxing time, and know that your impact on the chapter and the people who have gone through it is undeniable. The Chef Mike days at !!" may be over, but he’ll be forever cherished and remembered. Thank you Mike and enjoy your retirement!

As for Jen’s meals, they’re just as special as she is, with the mouth-watering quality you’d savor at your favorite restaurant.

Sautéed shrimp, pork tenderloin, poké bowls, and smoked salmon pasta are just some of the many tricks up her sleeve.

She’ll even make brothers a special meal of their request for their birthday. Jen routinely enlists the help of the chapter to create these meals and teaches them basic cooking skills as well as an appreciation for food and the culinary arts.

This past April, for her service to Alpha Delta Phi and the Washington Chapter, the Board of Governors awarded Jen the Joshua Chamberlain Gold Medal, a new award, for exemplary service to the Fraternity by a non-member.

JOHNS HOPKINS 1937

DORSEY YEARLEY, DECORATED WORLD WAR II VET DIES AT 106 Dorsey Yearley, a decorated World War II B-24 aircraft pilot who flew in battles over the Pacific Ocean and was later a broker at the old Alex.

Brown & Sons, died in his sleep of heart failure June 16, 2021 at Roland Park Place. The former Ruxton resident was 106.

His son, Graham Yearley, said his father was also a survivor of both the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic and the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Until he was 105 he retained his mental acuity,” his son said.

Born in Baltimore and raised in Roland Park, he was the son of Alexander Yearley, a patent attorney, and his wife, Helen Durant Church, a homemaker. His father died when he was in school and his grandfathers assisted in helping raise him and his siblings.

“He was the most family-oriented person I’ve ever known,” said Graham, a Ruxton resident. “He visited his younger siblings in their last years daily.”

Mr. Yearley attended Roland Park Public School and was a 1934 Baltimore Polytechnic Institute graduate.

He was awarded a trustees scholarship to the Johns Hopkins University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in economics. He was a past president of the Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity.

Mr. Yearley, a Baltimore City 100-yarddash track champion, also played varsity lacrosse and was named to the all-state team.

In 1937 he moved to New York City and worked in the financial industry at Morgan Guaranty Trust and the First Boston Corp. He traded stocks and bonds.

He enlisted in the 101st Cavalry of the New York National Guard before World War II. After the outbreak of the war he was commissioned a second lieutenant and underwent additional training at Craig Field in Selma, Alabama.

Mr. Yearley trained American, British, French and Chinese pilots to fly single-engine fighter planes.

After being promoted to captain in 1944, he was assigned to the 494th Bombardment Group. He was sent to the Pacific theater and flew combat missions in bombers over the Philippines.

“As a pilot of a B-24 bomber he flew 40 missions from a base in the Palau Islands against Japanese targets in the Philippines,” Graham said. “On his 31st mission, an engine exploded and caught fire over the Japanese-held island of Mindanao.

“The fire was extinguished, but the crew was unable to feather [stop] the propeller. The added drag caused by the windmilling of the propeller made it difficult to make air speed and the plane was forced to leave the formation.

“To keep the plane aloft, the bombs and auxiliary fuel tanks were jettisoned and the plane was stripped of its machine guns, armor plate and ball turret.

“The plane headed toward the Philippine island of Leyte where the only airstrip in American hands was located.

“After two hours the added strain on the remaining engines caused another engine to explode and catch fire. Unable to stop the fire, Capt. Yearley ordered the crew to bail out just as the plane reached Leyte,” his son said.

The 11 men on board landed in the jungle. Within a few days, all were rescued by Philippine residents who carried two of the injured airmen to safety.

“Capt. Yearley, unable to walk, was brought out on the back of a large water buffalo, a source of great amusement among the American soldiers when he arrived at the air base,” his son said.

All crew members later completed the required 40 missions.

He survived a dead-stick landing in a fighter plane, two crash landings and the bailout over the jungle.

All of Mr. Yearley’s brothers served in the military during the war. The family home on Hawthorne Road carried a pennant with four service bars.

He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal with seven Oak Leaf Clusters.

Mr. Yearley returned to Baltimore after the war and joined Alex Brown, where he was named a partner in 1962. He was the brokerage’s expert on insurance securities and headed the firm’s retail sales and research department.

In addition to his son, Mr. Yearley is survived by his wife of 32 years, Laura Vogeler; two other sons, Alexander G. Yearley of Baltimore and M. Church Yearley of Lutherville; a daughter, Mallory Waterman of Marion, Massachusetts; five grandchildren; and a great-granddaughter. He had been married to the former Janet Grosset, who died in 2001, and while they divorced, they remained friends. *This obituary is reprinted from the Baltimore Sun.
