Tragedy in a Bottle

Tragedy in a Bottle O

n the evening of November 17, 2004, Steven Judd, New Mexico State ’06, prepared to go out with some friends, some of whom were Delta Chi brothers, to celebrate his turning 21 at midnight that night. Steven had been elected “A” of the Chapter just that month. He was, well, just read the letter from his father that is reprinted below.

Many traditions, rites, and rituals are an important aspect of fraternal life, but on November 18, 2004 the New Mexico State Chapter of Delta Chi had the misfortune of experiencing what can happen when common sense gives way to tradition, pride and ignorance. One of their traditions, which we have subsequently learned is fairly common, was to take out their brothers at 12 midnight on the eve of their 21st birthday and try to get them really drunk. On that fateful night they were very successful. My son, Steven David Judd, according to his brothers and the El Paso, Texas Coroner’s office, consumed over 15 mixed drinks in less than two hours. All these drinks were purchased by his Delta Chi brothers. When the bars closed at 2 AM they took him back to his room at the fraternity house and put him to bed. They even provided him with a “barf bucket” next to his bed and proceeded to watch him go unknowingly from a drunken state of euphoria to a stupor and eventually sleep. During this “sleeping it off” phase he eventually went into a coma and by morning had stopped breathing, all of this under the watchful eyes of his brothers who knew no better. Steven never woke up from his “big night on the town” and was pronounced dead on November 19 th, barely 24 hours after their celebration. Steven’s birthday, funeral, Thanksgiving, Christmas and the New Year have now passed and we are still trying to pick up the pieces and make some sense of how this tragedy could have occurred and been prevented.

Very few of you had the opportunity and pleasure to know Steven as an individual, but to those brothers who did, know how blessed you are.

Steven David Judd was born November 18, 1983. Steven leaves behind his loving father Steve, mother Karen, sister Stephanie and too many friends and family to count. Steven was born and raised in El Paso, Texas.

During his high school years he received a number of state and local awards in academics, science and computer programming and graduated with honors. Steven was a practitioner and teacher of Butokan Karate. Besides being enthralled with learning and computers, Steven loved traveling and camping. He had the fortune to be able to visit all 50 states in the US and many of the providences and states of Canada and Mexico. At the time of his death, Steven was a junior Crimson Scholar at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces majoring in computer science and recently had been invited to join Gamma Sigma Alpha (the National Greek Academic Honor Society). Steven had recently been elected president of the NMSU Delta Chi Chapter. Steven also worked at AICS in Las Cruces for the past three years as a computer programmer developing software which will be used in science and education to deliver talks and lectures to parts of the world lacking high speed Internet access. He, like many his age, had all kinds of dreams and aspirations to fulfill.

Steven has left many family and friends who will be better off for knowing him and will be missed by all. We hope that people will remember Steven for all his accomplishments in his short life, in addition to the fact that his

Steven Judd, New Mexico State ’06

untimely death was the result of excess alcohol consumption on his 21st birthday. Life teaches us something if only we will listen. Regretfully, some people have to learn from their own mistakes. Even more regretfully, some mistakes are so tragic that both one’s life and potential are lost forever. We hope that all his brothers who read this will choose the former not the latter.

We hope that the one positive thing that comes out of Steven’s untimely and unnecessary death will be that others will learn something about their own infallibility and will make the necessary changes in their lives. We do not want anyone else to put their friends and family through what our family and friends will have to endure the rest of our lives.

We pray that Steven’s death will be a learning experience for others.

Even GOOD kids can make stupid mistakes. This lesson has been the hardest for us to understand. Steven was an intelligent young man who knew better and somehow still made this tragic error in judgment. He had worked hard all week on his various computer and physics assignments in order to have a couple of hours of free time to celebrate his birthday after midnight. We had talked to him only a few hours before and told him to use his good judgment and to remember he had both school and work the next morning. What was going on or not going on in his alcohol induced mind we will never know. This tragedy might have been prevented had Steven or his brothers used good judgment and spent a few minutes learning about alcohol poisoning and its symptoms and preventions. His brothers, out of ignorance not malice, virtually did everything wrong according to the experts. He could be your son, daughter, brother, sister, or friend.

Please take a few minutes and sit down with them and read this article together. We hope it will make a difference. It is the good that all who know him will remember forever, but if his real legacy is that others lived because he died, then maybe his loss will not be so wasted.

We would like to challenge all of Steven’s Delta Chi brothers throughout the country to have at least one less drink each month this semester and to donate the money you would have spent on those drinks to the Steven David Judd Scholarship at New Mexico State University to help keep Steven’s memory alive. More importantly, when you pass on that last drink of the night, remember our son and your brother Steven Judd.

Hopefully, no other Delta Chi chapters will have to endure the guilt and suffering that the NMSU chapter will have to endure forever.

We are also challenging each of the Delta Chi chapters to take the lead on their own college campuses to educate their communities with regards to alcohol abuse and the tragic negative effects. With minimal effort you can find out all kinds of valuable information on the Internet and make a difference. Over 1400 college students are killed in alcohol related accidents each and every year. We are not trying to bring back the temperance movement, only moderation and common sense. Both of these often are ignored in “the moment.” – Steve Judd

The Values of Delta Chi

As a former professional law fraternity, Delta Chi has always maintained as part of its core values, the respect for and observance of the law.

When we went “General” in 1923, we broadened that out to “Justice for our fellow man.” Fundamentally, we believe in the betterment of mankind and, specifically, our members. Besides our policies aimed at curbing inappropriate behavior, we have developed a wide range of materials to show our members and our chapters what they can and should be doing. Besides the lessons taught in our Ritual and other ceremonies, in 1988 we adopted the Basic Expectations of a Delta Chi as a guide to assist our members in living up to their obligations not only as Delta Chis but as members of society at large.

Taken from Delta Chi’s Ten Basic Expectations of a Member: 3.

I will protect the health and safety of all human beings.

I will neither use nor support the use of illegal drugs; I will neither abuse nor support the abuse of alcohol.

I will know and understand the ideals expressed in my fraternity Ritual and will incorporate them into my daily life.

I will challenge all my fraternity members to abide by these fraternity obligations and will confront those who violate them.

A report released in 2002 by the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism titled, “A Call To Action: Changing the Culture of Drinking at U.S. Colleges,” revealed that drinking by college students age 18-24 contributed to an estimated 1,400 student deaths, 500,000 injuries, and 70,000 cases of sexual assault or date rape each year. “The harm that college students do to themselves and others as a result of excessive drinking exceeds what many would have expected,” says lead author Ralph W. Hingson, SC.D., Professor of Social Behavioral Sciences and Associate Dean for Research at Boston University’s School of Public Health. “Our data clearly point to the need for better interventions against high-risk drinking in this population.”

The NIAAA’s National Advisory Council convened a task force consisting of more than 36 college presidents, scientists and students to conduct a comprehensive review of research on college drinking and efforts to curb it. Its findings appear in the March 2005 issue of the American Journal of Public Health. Among its discoveries is that most students drink moderately or even abstain, with the percent of non-drinkers rising from 15% to 19% between 1993 and 1999. But it also discovered that there has been a dramatic increase in the extreme forms of college drinking. There was evidence that something like 20% of college students consume 70% of all the alcohol consumed by college students. According to the Task Force research, “Drinking rates were highest among incoming freshmen, males, members of fraternities and sororities, and althletes.”

The study then focused on prevention efforts to see what was and was not effective. The following were deemed to be effective: combining cognitivebehavior skills with norms clarification; brief motivational interventions, and altering students’ expectations about the effects of alcohol. Also found to be effective were enforcement of of minimum drinking age laws, restrictions on alcohol retail outlet density around campuses, and responsible beverage service policies. Promising steps listed included the reinstatement of Friday classes and exams, alcohol free living environments, “Safe Ride” programs, regulation of “happy hours,” and consistent enforcement for alcohol policy violations. The Task Force reported interventions that rely entirely on providing information about problems related to risks from drinking as “Ineffective.”

The alcohol culture that pervades so many of our college campuses today is at the root of all too many tragedies. The assumption that excessive drinking is the “norm,” coupled with the sense of immortality and that nothing bad can happen to us when we are young, is a dangerous and, unfortunately, sometimes lethal mixture. Nationwide, Greeks represent about 8% of the student population and studies have shown that the majority of our members either drink responsibly or even abstain, but even good people can, on occasion, make bad choices. Those who do drink irresponsibly on a more regular basis are truly causing us great difficulty, not only in the reputation for drinking but in terms of the dysfunctional behavior that their drinking is causing. Vandalism, destruction of chapter property and the pain and suffering visited on the rest of the brotherhood and sisterhood are just some of the consequences of this behavior. It is past time for such behaviors to be confronted. There is an old saying that the world will never be in danger from those who do evil but, rather, from the good people who allow them to do it, even if those who are doing evil or simply making a bad choice are fraternity brothers or close friends and maybe especially if they are.

I

am enjoying being Delta Chi’s 49th “AA”. In the six plus months since I was elected, I have been on the road visiting with chapters and alumni and representing the organization for official events.

I thoroughly enjoyed being back in Manhattan, Kansas for the 10 th anniversary of the Kansas State Chapter ’s Chartering. As a young Director of Expansion, I helped to start that Chapter in 1992, and this was my first trip back there. I also was able to participate in the initiation of the Founding Father class at

his 21st birthday, and some reports said he did around 15 shots. This was just one of several alcohol-related deaths that occurred on college campuses last fall. A number of them involved members of the Greek system. When will college students learn that they are not indestructible?

When will they learn that their choices can dramatically impact their lives and the lives of others? That realization simply MUST happen soon. If our undergraduate members had to place a phone call to the grieving parents of a lost

alumnus who thought closing the chapter was too severe an outcome for their ONE transgression. When I told him the Chapter had THREE transgressions during the fall semester, he was surprised.

And he was on their ABT. Delta Chi had no choice. The drug raid a week later, after local authorities had been able to purchase marijuana in the house, confirmed our decision.

Delta Chi is my favorite college fraternity, but it is not yet the BEST college fraternity.

We are working on it. The Board of Regents is developing Steve Bossart, “AA”

It’s good (and bad) to be the “AA”

the Marshall Colony. That was a real treat for me. In addition, presenting the chartering proclamation to the new Georgia Southern Chapter was truly an honor. Working with the other board members and executive committee members as well as meeting alumni and undergraduate members – I am thrilled every day to be a leader in this great organization.

I will tell you that it hasn’t all been rosy. On Saturday, November 21 st I placed a telephone call to Steven Judd’s father in El Paso, Texas. Steven, the “A”-elect of our New Mexico State Chapter, died the day before from alcohol poisoning. He and a group of friends went out to celebrate

brother, as our New Mexico State brothers did, I think the realization would hit them sooner rather than later.

In addition, in the span of just a few weeks in January of this year, Delta Chi lost chapters at Eastern Illinois, Western Illinois, and Whitewater. These chapters closed for a variety of reasons, EACH of which can be traced back to the choices the members made. In every case, Delta Chi did all that it could do to keep these chapters open.

We relied on the members to make good choices and to do what was necessary. But even good people can make bad choices. In the case of Whitewater, I talked to an

skills learned, friendships made, and experiences had.

We need you to be involved with a local chapter or alumni group. Don’t assume that things are fine at your chapter or at the chapter just down the road; go see for yourself.

Your involvement just might help prevent what has been happening at all too many chapters like the three mentioned above. We also need you to support Delta Chi with annual gifts, and we need you to consider this organization in your future financial plans. Resources will help us become the best college fraternity in North America. We can’t do it without our members.

It is good to be the “AA”.

I was once told that the most important power a leader has is the power to ask for help. I am asking for all of our members to help us become the best college fraternity in North America. I am asking the alumni to get involved in a local chapter or colony.

Spending time mentoring and advising young men has great rewards. To be the best will take some time, but Delta Chi will be better off for the effort. Please contact me at AA@deltachi.org with your thoughts and suggestions.

action items as a result of a strategic planning process undertaken over the past few years. With the involvement of leaders from last year ’s President’s Cup chapters, we are working toward the implementation of an international service project that will be unveiled at the 2006 Convention. And a committee made up of board members and undergraduates is searching for ways to improve the Convention experience for all who participate. We look forward to sharing results with our members as we move forward.

I was recently asked about our image as an organization.

My response was that our image is our members – both undergraduate and alumni. If we are to become the best college fraternity in North America, it is going to take a concerted effort of our members to get us there.

Undergraduates need to confront the inappropriate behavior of their peers. They need to fight against mediocrity and strive to be great. These are choices that Fraternally, must be made in order to run their chapters in a manner that breeds success. Alumni need to reflect on what this organization has meant to Steven P.

“Uphold me, O Lord, according to your promise, and I shall live and do not confound me in my expectation.” – Suscipe

O

n August 15, 2004, my lips uttered the scriptural verse known as the Suscipe quoted above. These words were a clear signal to the Benedictine monks of my community that I was professing monastic vows as they had all done before me, binding me to this particular monastery, its monks, and the Rule of Benedict that governs our lives.

Following the pronouncement of these words, I laid down freely on the floor of the Archabbey Church of Our Lady of Einsiedeln before the abbot and the community. I was covered with the funeral pall.

The pall is the sign of Christian death. In my case, it was also a sign of dying that I might rise to this new life. The placement of the pall is a stark symbol that caught many of my family and friends witnessing the profession off guard, including a good number of my fraternity brothers. But it tells the story, in one way, of what I think about the importance of common beliefs among brothers.

This time, the story was told with my monastic brothers. It was not unlike the previous time, with my fraternity brothers in 1995, and in the initiations after that.

On this day, there were a number of people present at Saint Meinrad Archabbey where monks have been gathering for just over 150 years to do the Opus Dei, the work of God, the prayer of the Church for the Church and for the world. I often reply simply to my friends when they ask me what I do for a living. I could say, “I am a beekeeper, a retreat master, a spiritual director, a dishwasher, a breakfast cook, a snow remover, a philanthropist, a student, a teacher, a chaplain, a choir member, a confrere, a caretaker, a pastoral counselor.”

Instead, I reply, “I pray for you before you’re out of bed in the morning. That’s my job.”

While a Delta Chi officer at Northwest Missouri State University, I had the great privilege for a number of years to give the last talk at our formal recruitment function. Sitting before me were the men we were inviting into our way of life to become part of the Bond of Delta Chi. “If you believe in something, you live it. Then you learn to love it. Then you can teach it. Live, love, and teach.” Live, love, and teach have been penned back to me from some of my fraternity brothers. I had no idea that I was helping them out or that they were hearing me. These words have come in the form of a scribbled thank you note, an email, a phone call, or a face-to-face visit when I have heard, “Do you remember when you said…?”

Delta Chi challenged me to live in a particular way. I chose to incorporate our ten basic expectations in my style of leadership and in living with others who do not always share the same values and merit as Delta Chi. I learned to see how voices can mingle in a way that set our hearts aglow, bound together in a particular way as thousands have done before us in Delta Chi since October 13, 1890, as even more have done since the founding of the Flat Hat Club at the College of William and Mary in 1750, as Benedictine monks have done since around the year 540. Just as I mingled my voice with my brothers in the Bond, so I mingle my voice with my brother monks each day, praising God and commending the world, once again, to His divine mercy.

As an undergraduate, I loved what I was doing in Delta Chi and what Delta Chi gave me the cour-

age to do in my own life, in my chapter, on campus, and for the international organization. People saw me living and loving what I was doing and often joined me in my zeal for our way of life. They trusted enough to join me in the adventures of the House Corporation, renovating a house, recruiting new members, re-recruiting old members, taking responsibility for finances, and making a name for our fraternity on campus and in the city.

To teach, one must be a good student. Delta Chi assists in the acquisition of a sound education for those willing to do the work.

For those not willing to do what it takes to finish the endeavor of a university education, no amount of assistance by a fraternity or anyone else will accomplish the goal for them. Time and again, I have witnessed how Delta Chi, especially at Northwest Missouri, has indeed done its share in forming educated leaders during their college years.

Once graduated, at their best, these leaders take what they have been given in their undergraduate years and apply it in their careers and the organizations to which they belong as civic leaders.

As a monk I continue to share in the lives of my fraternity brothers. This relationship, although I am far away from most of them, is unique. Our paths continue to cross as I hear about their joys and sorrows. Lately, a number of fraternity brothers have called to share the news that they are expecting their first child. They ask me for prayers. I congratulate them and add them to the list of people for whom I pray.

Then I hang up the phone with a smile and wish I could have told him who else is expecting a first child

“As a monk I continue to share in the lives of my fraternity brothers.”

But, as with him, that news was told to me in confidence. So that’s not my place.

Living the monastic way of life challenges me to live my life in a particular way, making my way “along the road, my heart expanding with the inexpressible delight of love” (Prologue, Rule of Saint Benedict). Some may think it is a radical way of living life; for me it is my vocation, my job. To live in a cloister has its challenges, as any way of life can. Persevering in a vocation is more than just doing the work. It is more than experience upon experience. Living life fully requires reflection on the experiences of our lives, to reflect on what seems to be ordinary and decide how your experience fits into the world’s experience.

The Kingdom of God is at hand.

We live in the Kingdom of God. Either we choose to believe in this, what some call God’s providence, or not. If we choose something greater than our own experience, the value of common bonds is ever more a radical understanding of experience. The first Christians understood this and lived this. Monks throughout the centuries have done this. Brothers in the Bond of Delta Chi continue to do this in a particular way. We understand how the events in our lives provide a connection so that we can see beyond the distractions that can take the place of what we are to be doing, of living reflectively in bonds of faith, hope, and charity.

ALBERTA

We won this year ’s Delta Gamma Anchor Splash, improving on last year’s second place finish and ousting the previous six-time champions and placed second our first time in Kappa Alpha Theta’s ABC Head Start Run. New for us were the Alpha Gamma Delta’s Greek Games.

We also defended our championship in the IFC Greek God and Goddess event. Our lead was established by an amazing dance number and secured by a multitalented band. To round out a near-complete Delta Chi dominance in interfraternal events, we still have to defend our championship in the Panhellenic Songfest later this year.

We have also had success with our 7th annual We Want Your Pants clothing drive. We collected more clothes than last year, in large part due to the efforts of Stephan Cherwoniak and Chris Sandstra. Proceeds went to the George Spady Homeless Shelter.

As always, success is driven by brotherhood, epitomized this year by our initiation of 14 members. Xi was the largest class since our Founding Fathers.

Spearheaded by Kris Perlinski, their own philanthropy event raised an astounding $1,000 in only 16 hours! Called Wearing

Breasts for Cancer, the event had brothers wearing stuffed bras to support breast cancer research, bringing media attention to the issue in campus newspapers in Canada and the U.S. Our chapter has been revitalized by a move to a new chapter house that is almost twice as large as our previous one. The move has allowed more brothers and friends to enjoy the chapter and has helped in generating interest for rush. Social events held this semester included a Kappa Alpha Theta Halloween exchange, our second annual Shut Up and Grind party, and an informal Alpha Psi exchange held during rush.

ALABAMA

We welcomed fifteen initiates, representing the largest fall class we have had in a few years. We have effectively doubled in size as a result of hard work over the past year. A few renovation projects have been completed on the house, and a few more are in progress. We also held our first annual Fall Cocktail on November 6th before the game vs. Mississippi State. This event was successful in raising funds for further renovations.

APPALACHIAN STATE

This year we placed in more events than any other fraternity on campus, completely dominating in intramurals, Homecoming, and Greek Week. We grabbed first place in the Homecoming float contest by building a twostory steamboat with a paddle

Augusta brothers at their White Carnation Formal. and a smokestack that actually smoked. We also placed first in the Chi Omega softball tournament with an undefeated record and again came in first with the Greek Week flag football title by case of the slaughter rule. In the most respected competition on campus, “Greek Week Lip Sync,” we placed first in choreography and second overall.

This year also marks a benchmark in fundraising due in large part to our fundraising chair J.P. Carlin’s new campaign. We also raised money from the annual alumni golf tournament and a poker competition run by our associates. As to social events, we are still having three to four mixers a semester with the sororities.

ARIZONA STATE

We’re wrapping up our first semester in our new on-campus housing at Adelphi II and continue to make improvements to our chapter room and common areas. This fall we initiated 25 of the 34 men who were offered bids and our intramural football team made the playoffs. In November, we held our first philanthropy since our reestablishment, “Delta X-Games, “ which was a phenomenal success. Proceeds benefited the Phoenix Children’s Hospital. We would like to thank our “BB” Klayton Roark ’03 and Scott Davis ’94, as well as his staff at Tessio’s Pizza for their support.

We achieved the 3rd highest GPA amongst the fraternities and also received a top All-Sports award. We have been blessed with a great new housemother, Charlotte Danielson, who has already started making positive changes within our chapter.

We held our annual Lake/ Rush party at the Newell family’s lake house and we had a huge turnout for our Halloween costume party. We also started a new tradition, our Sunday Skeet Shooting Club.

Our turnout of alumni for football games has greatly increased this year, especially at homecoming. Also, we would like to thank the Newell family and Mike Carroll for their overwhelming support this semester.

AUGUSTA

This fall, we celebrated our first White Carnation since 2000.

It was a great success!

This semester we have 13 members with 10 associates. On Thanksgiving, we raised over $1,000 for the Augusta Rescue Mission. Now that the Chapter is multiplying, we are looking at bigger and better things in the future.

BEHREND

Early this semester we participated in an annual walk to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. This consisted of setting up at 6 am and helping the walkers prepare. Our AUBURN 15th annual semi-formal in This year we have already downtown Erie was a huge sucparticipated in a blood drive and cess. In early November a small pumpkin painting with the group of brothers traveled to project uplift kids.

Youngstown, OH to visit our

“BB” Paul Gruseck and House Corporation President Chuck Heid to set up for a RUSH Workshop in the spring. We have never held such an event and are hoping for the best results. On November 21st we volunteered our time and energy at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center to serve Thanksgiving dinner to the community. This was a very rewarding experience for the brothers and the city of Erie. Our help was very much appreciated.

BOWLING GREEN

For fall we were proud to have 27 associates join the Bond. This was the largest fraternity class on campus! Many wanted to join, due to our being first in grades last spring.

We held our third semi-formal in Windsor, Ontario. Many brothers and their dates enjoyed a great evening at Patrick O’ Ryan’s. Another impressive social event was our first annual Del-Tiki with Delta Gamma. Much time and energy was spent to create the Tiki atmosphere. Our house was decorated with everything from palm trees to grass skirts. This fall we made the rounds of campus as we had events with almost all of the sororities.

We also continued to improve our house as we purchased brand new black leather couches and a new entertainment center for our living room. Future plans involve painting our coat of arms in the dining room, as well as painting bedrooms.

In November we welcomed parents and alumni for an open house and football game. Finally, we had a major community service event, as many brothers participated in an event called Halloween Funfest. The kids enjoyed the candy and the exciting costumes that we wore.

well as a new sorority on campus, Delta Delta Delta, which had its first social function here with us.

CENTRAL MICHIGAN

Our Executive Board has done a great job of rebuilding and strengthening our chapter. Our relationships with the university and the community have never been stronger.

Thanks to our annual fundraising trip to Cedar Point, we were able to pay off half of our debt to Delta Chi. With much help from two of our alumni, Terry Taylor and Rich Marshal, we were able to establish an ABT and House Corporation. Our 12-man fall 2004 class is the largest class any of us can remember.

CENTRAL MISSOURI

Thanks to Tom Ketterman and Paul Neimann for their generous donations towards our TV room and chapter room renovations.

The chapter received three overstuffed black leather couches and three overstuffed cloth couches for the TV room. We also bought a 64" HDTV. Congratulations to our 11 new brothers!

We are in the midst of a capital funds campaign to raise money for a spot scheduled for construction in 2006 on the new Greek row. Over fifty alumni and active Huntsville brothers, including founding fathers Fernando Arias ’79, John Ormby ’81, and Randy King ‘78, escorted their dates to our 2004 Founders’ Day Banquet.

ILLINOIS

This semester is the first time in over eighty years that we have not had a house in which to live.

As many of you know, our house is undergoing a full renovation that will repair the exterior of the house and renovate the entire interior. Despite not having a house, our active members have continued our philanthropy contributions, brotherhood events and campus presence.

We have participated in numerous philanthropy events including Delta Gamma Anchor Splash, Alpha Gamma Delta Water Wars, Camp Alpha Chi and a charity golf outing hosted by Gamma Phi Beta. We have also continued our relationship with the Swann Special School Center.

Some of our activities with the Swann School include taking the children bowling, playing sports and games, and helping with their weekend church services.

For many of the events, we invited sororities to come and help, such as Gamma Phi Beta, Alpha Chi, and Alpha Delta Gamma.

We have also had some great brotherhood events this season.

Early in the semester we had a group tubing event at the Kikapoo River and a camping trip at a nearby campground.

We hosted a large homecoming gathering in the front yard of our house for our alumni following the game. On that Friday,

paired with the women of Alpha Delta, we entered a float in the Homecoming parade.

This fall we were especially proud to have John Fakhoury elected President of IFC, and Charlie Bollinger was elected Vice President of Risk Management.

The entire renovation of the house exterior has been completed, and the interior renovation is just now beginning. Our active members are very excited for the completion of our house next year and appreciative of our alumni’s continuing support.

JOHNSTOWN

We started out this year with a bang and hosted a beach party and gathered food to benefit the Johnstown food bank the first weekend of school. Once again, on homecoming we had our annual pig roast with the alumni.

We also are continually improving our financial status and plan to be out of debt in the coming months.

We are proud to declare that we won Greek week for the third year in a row and are determined to make it a fourth, next semester.

KANSAS

We hosted our annual Christmas Party with the women of Gamma Phi Beta for the children of the Lawrence Boys and Girls Club. By providing gifts to the children we made a holiday that might not have been otherwise possible for them. We are also making preparations to host our 2nd Annual Kaw River Carnival.

Expectations are high, and we plan to improve upon the success of last year’s inaugural event. All proceeds from the carnival will be donated to our philanthropy, The Brook Creek Learning Center.

We also participated in the Pre-Holiday Intramural Basketball Tournament. Another

Alumni relations have also remained strong. Mark Mitchell ’74 spearheaded an effort to hold a thirty-year reunion for the members of his class on November 13 th . Also invited were alumni from the classes of ’72 through ’76. After brunch and conversing with the undergraduates, they joined us in attending the KU vs. Texas football game.

Finally as the semester closed, we held one of our most anticipated brotherhood events, the “Secret Santa” gift exchange.

KANSAS STATE Over 60 brothers and their dates attended the celebration of our ten-year anniversary at our Founder ’s Day banquet. We hosted Sorority Woman of the Year, an annual philanthropy that

honors Jim Komatz, who passed away from leukemia during his last semester. We were honored to have numerous guests including: Steve Bossart, the current “AA”, Jason Butler, the Region IV Regent, “BB” Emeritus Dr. Alan Brightman, Former Housing Corps Treasurer Tom Hunter, House Mom Marsha Collins, House Cook Joann Breault, Warren Mcleod, Aaron Otto “BB”, alumnus of the year/ABT Vice President Justin Knopf, House Corp. President Mike Dichiser, and Director of Chapter Services Matt Killingsworth in attendance.

We also made it to the semi-finals in intramural soccer for the first time in the chapter’s existence.

KENT STATE

We will be celebrating our 15th Anniversary during our spring formal. We will be welcoming members of the International Executive Board to help us make this a very special occasion.

For the second consecutive year, one of our brothers has been elected to the Undergraduate Student Senate. Adam Croweak was elected Student Relations Senator and has become an integral part of a student senate that is mostly Greek. Croweak has helped to establish Student Legal Services.

Furthermore, several young and worthy men, who had been spotted as prospective associate members, were handed out bids.

Alpha Sigma Alpha joined us for a social get together after the Hay Ride had to be cancelled due to bad weather. Nevertheless, they had a great time cooking marshmallows and making hot chocolate, along with indoor games of “Texas Hold’em” and “Truth and Dare Jenga.”

We won the highest GPA with an average of 89% this year. Finally, the hard work and sincere effort that our brothers had collectively put in had borne fruit.

New scholarship-related projects regarding study sessions at the house are currently being discussed.

Our chapter retreat held at Camp Holaka in Lapeer, MI was also attended by some of our alumni. Unfortunately, Mother Nature wasn’t on our side, and it rained heavily during the first night. From then on, card games and setting up the fireplace were the two most occupying tasks.

The following day the brothers set out to explore the woods and, as expected, were lost. Finding the way back was an adventure in itself. The football game between the alumni and the brothers was, as usual, a treat to watch.

LIVINGSTON Even though our chapter is small in numbers, we still pack a very big punch in our school and our community. In October we held our annual “Delta Chi Haunted House,” with proceeds going to benefit the Sunshine Kids Mentoring Program. During the haunted house, the fraternity property is turned into a very scary place through all of the work that the brothers and associates do during the month of October. We also held a softball tournament to benefit St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.

Every semester the fraternity works at the Talladega. The trip is always a great time with many great bonding experiences.

We currently hold the championship for Tug-of-War and

won many smaller events held throughout the year. During intramurals, Delta Chi Team 2 went to the championship game after defeating all of the top teams during the regular season.

Their record was 7-3.

During the past year, several renovations have been made to the house. These include a fresh coat of paint on the inside walls, a new deck, a new volleyball court, a new meeting table for the conference room, and, after Hurricane Ivan’s wrath, new doors for the front of the house.

Indian Party is coming up in April, along with the Alumni versus Active softball game held every Saturday during the weekend-long celebration that is full of lots of food and fun for everyone.

LOUISIANA TECH

We recently inducted 14 new members. These new members helped to kick off our premiere community service project for the year involving “The Ruston, Louisiana Council on Aging.”

An alumnus set up this project to help teach many local elderly persons simple computer knowledge and skills. The program began by acquiring donations of hardware and software to assemble six computers. Since then, Delta Chi brothers have taught two-hour lessons on email use and general computer skills each Wednesday evening.

The project has definitely helped improve the quality of life of some local senior citizens, and their response has been wonderful.

MARQUETTE

Through our Delta Chi Dollar Days and with the help of our Vice Regent Mark Schramka’s “Cuts for Cancer” program, we have raised nearly $1,000 for cancer research this semester.

All proceeds from our philanthropy this semester will be donated to the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

On November 20th we held our annual alumni/active football game in which the alumni edged the brothers for the win.

It was an amazing time of brotherhood, as we experienced one of the best turnouts in years. It was followed up by an incredibly productive ABT meeting with the chapter’s new executive board. This is just one of the many signs that our alumni are now taking a more active role in our development as a chapter.

Several major projects that we are now working on with our ABT include a professionally designed web site at www.marquettedeltachi.org, steal rod iron letters for our chapter house and getting the ball rolling financially with completing our chapter room.

MARSHALL COLONY

On behalf of the 35 Founding Fathers at Marshall University, we would like to say that it is our honor to join the “Bond of Delta Chi”. In just a few short weeks we gathered an interest group that grew to be the third largest fraternity on campus. We have already carried out community service projects such as raking leaves around town and running a local blood drive. We foresee a bright and promising future here at Marshall, and we promise to do our best to spread the characteristics that make Delta Chi a successful fraternity.

We are all proud to be brothers of Delta Chi!

MARYLAND

We were chartered in 1990, and throughout our 15-year history the brothers have lived in five fraternity houses and apartment complexes. Unlike most chapters, we have faced the adversity and difficulty of running a chapter without a steady central location. We are currently in our third year of renting an offcampus fraternity house that is in a good location but in very poor condition. Despite the poor condition of the house and a limited budget, our chapter boasts many accomplishments.

In February 2004 we hosted the largest Region IX Conference in Delta Chi history and won an outstanding Regional Conference Award. Since then we have doubled the size of our House Corporation, increased alumni involvement and donations by 50%, and paid off a debt of over $10,000 to Delta Chi a week before the 54th International Convention in Washington, D.C. This fall, Nicholas Spiwak received the IFC outstanding Executive Board member award.

The outstanding Executive Board member is one of three Fraternity awards given at the Leadership Ball, representing individuals in the University of Maryland Greek system who stand out among the rest because of their excellence in dedication and leadership.

MINNESOTA

Marshall Colony Founding Fathers with Leadership Consultant Steven Meyer (front, right).

On March 2nd, 2003 Benjamin Petty passed away from a rare blood disease his junior year.

The brothers and alumni inducted his father, Philip Petty.

Following his induction, the brothers, along with Ben’s family and friends, created the nonprofit group called the “Friends of Ben Foundation.” Last year, along with the sisters of Zeta Tau Alpha, we held the first “Bowling for Benji” duckpin bowling fundraiser for “Friends of Ben.” We raised over $1,000, and the money was donated to the Edmondson –Westview Recreation Council in Baltimore County in Ben’s honor. By the end of the spring 2005 semester, the brothers and the foundation hope to hold the first annual golf tournament in Ben’s name. We are also planning a Greek dodgeball tournament to raise money. Money raised from both events will be donated to Johns Hopkins Medical Research Center for research on Hemophagocytic Syndrome, the disease that resulted in Ben’s death.

With our goals set and our minds focused on improving the chapter, we expect to grow in size and spirit. We thank all of our dedicated alumni and our “BB” Jose Rodas for their donations and their support.

MIAMI We are proud to report that even after winning fourteen awards at the Delta Chi International Convention, our drive to improve ourselves and our house has not slowed down but, instead, accelerated. Even though we were overjoyed and honored by the awards, our goal is to always improve on what we have.

Last semester we placed first out of over 25 fraternities by donating 52 hours of community service through various activities, but this semester we improved with 106 hours of community service. Our philanthropy, The Delta Chi Broomball Invitational 2004, was a huge success as a fundraiser for the Habitat for Humanity charity, and we also participated in eight other philanthropies for charity.

Scholarship continues to be one of our strongest points, as another one of our members was honored by being invited to join the Order of Omega. After placing first in our division in intramural sports last semester, we are in the midst of another great season. Our Parents’ Weekend and Homecoming weekend had the largest turnout we’ve seen, and we’d like to thank all who attended and also all those who donated. From alumni donations alone we have enough money to put up a commercial grade flagpole in remembrance of our former housemother, Evelyn. To improve the look of our house, one of our projects was to remove the carpet from the high traffic area of our front common room. We installed tile, which really brightens up the look of our house at the entrance.

With our letters outside and new spotlights placed on them and after having our house repainted, we are ready for rush to begin as we anticipate another great group of quality gentlemen joining the brotherhood of a lifetime.

Our house has gone through some major changes in recent months. The exterior of the house was given a fresh coat of paint, and a rock garden is being built on the side of the house.

The interior of the house was not left out, as every room has been repainted, and Wiley Moseley and Lyle Deepe redid the basement floor. We also installed new lighting and ceiling fans in the main room. The house looks great, and we are excited to show it off to anyone who wants to stop by.

MISSOURI We have been very busy lately, participating in everything that comes our way. The annual Homecoming traditions of pomping house decorations, building a signature float and providing service to the community once again became important to the chapter. We had an extravagant experience spending time with the other two chapters that were involved in our triad. We are in the process of revamping the MO-KAN philanthropy that existed between ourselves and the Kansas Chapter not too long ago. The main idea of the MO-KAN process is to run the game ball from the visiting stadium to the home stadium, in either Lawrence or Co-

lumbia, and raise money for each mile that we cover.

The house has seen renovations to the basement to make it more appealing, and we re-carpeted the entire house thanks to donations that were collected from the parents of every member. We also have had some elegant sofas donated to the upstairs lounge by one of the active members in the house. We look to continue building on to the Missouri Chapter of Delta Chi.

NEW HAVEN Our Associate Class is bringing with it 12 new brothers, doubling our numbers. The Red Cross Blood Drive, which we sponsor each semester on campus, has been a continuing success. We once again exceeded the projected goal of usable pints with the support of our fellow students and faculty.

This was our first year participating in the Penguin Plunge to aid and support the Special Olympics of Connecticut. The freezing cold water was not enough to stop us, nor lessen the feeling of satisfaction of helping those less fortunate.

This year was our 23rd Annual White Carnation semi-formal dance, which was held at The Inn at Villa Bianca. Over 60 brothers, associates and guests were present to celebrate with us to make it a night to remember.

NEW MEXICO STATE This semester we initiated 14 members of our Phi class.

Intramurals went well, with our volleyball team placing second. Also, during its first year in existence, our dodgeball team placed second. Both the football and soccer teams also did well, with both making the playoffs.

Continuing with our tradition of community service, community service chair Anthony Madrid did a great job organizing and coordinating our Road Cleanups, River Cleanups, and Halloween fair for an elementary school. The Annual Families and Youth, Inc. dinner was again a success.

Finally, the Fraternity is saddened by the recent passing of our brother, Steven Judd.

Steven was our newly elected “A” and had a great passion for Delta Chi. He will be dearly missed and forever loved.

NORTHEAST MISSOURI

This semester we have not only seen the addition of five new brothers to the Bond but also placed second overall in Homecoming, expanded our social functions, and incorporated a huge new philanthropic event into campus’ Family Day. Through our new “Community on the Quad,” we collected do-

nations from local businesses that were then raffled off for donations during a concert put on by bands from all over Missouri.

Thanks in part to this event, CASA, an organization designed to assist abused and neglected children, will soon be able to establish itself here in Adair County. When combining these accomplishments with the current new house fundraising drive being pushed by our ABT, House Corp., and many other caring alumni, it truly is an exciting time to be a Delta Chi at Truman State University!

On November 6th we held an Alumni Tailgating event for the annual “Fall Classic” at Arrowhead Stadium. Actives and alumni shared great food and memories as we cheered on the Northwest football team. A special thanks goes out to Vince Evola ’80 and Tim McGinnis ’79 for coordinating the event.

Alumni can find out more about upcoming events at www.nwdeltachi.com.

Fall started off with the addition of another strong associate class. When Homecoming rolled around, our success continued as we paired up with the ladies of Phi Mu to win “Overall Parade Supremacy.”

The chapter has dominated in intramurals, taking first place in cross country, first in softball for the second year in a row and winning the football championship for the past three years.

Our outstanding philanthropic efforts earned us the IFC “Gavel Award” for contributing over 250 hours of community service in the first three months of school. These activities included raking leaves for the elderly, “Cat

Scott Griffin, also known as Corporal Griffin in the U.S. Marines, is returning to active duty and will depart for the Middle East in mid-January. Following his departure, Alan Hargreaves will also leave for his second tour overseas. We pray for the safe return home of all Delta Chi brothers serving abroad.

12 ∆X Quarterly Winter/Spring 2005

Our first annual Mayhem in May philanthropy went extremely well. Organized by Philanthropy Chair Richard Sohler, it was a week-long event in which fraternities and sororities competed to raise the greatest amount of coins, clothes and food. The climax of the week was a Monster Ball tournament. Congratulations to FIJI and Alpha Xi Delta for winning the men’s and women’s leagues respectively. In the end, we were able to donate about 500 lbs. of food, 500 articles of clothing, and $500 to the local Linn-Benton County Food Share.

In May we held a spring Alumni Day, and local alumnus Jeremiah Bishop put together an Alumni Ceremony for our graduating seniors and older alumni who had not yet been through the ceremony.

In addition, our “BB”, Ron Montgomery, who held elective office for 12 years, offered us non-partisan discussions about all of the Presidential candidates’ views and plans in order to help increase student-voter turnout.

PURDUE

We have accomplished so much this year already. However, our greatest accomplishment so far is our fourth place ranking in the intramural sports standings. Our soccer team led the way to our ranking. We played ten games and won them all. Our last game was against Phi Delta Theta and we won five to one. Our team ranked first. We hope to keep the good news coming and are looking forward to a great spring semester.

RHODE ISLAND COLONY

We got an early start on recruitment by helping freshmen move into their dorms and participating in IFC-sponsored Greek rush events, in addition to our own events, such as bowling and an afternoon barbecue. We are excited to welcome the twelve members of our third associate class into the Bond of Delta Chi.

These men have the

potential to grow the Chapter and make Delta Chi one of the strongest chapters on campus.

Homecoming was a total success. With the help of our “BB”, Jim McCausland, and many others, we were able to have one of the best alumni turnouts in many years. There were many new faces to go along with the ones we had been used to seeing every year. Everyone had a great time building the float, watching the parade, barbecuing in the park, and attending the formal Homecoming dance. There seems to be a newfound energy within our Chapter. Seeing everyone come together to share old stories and develop a stronger Brotherhood made this Homecoming one to remember.

SOUTHWEST MISSOURI

Last fall, the Southwest Missouri State Colony experienced its largest event to date, our chartering banquet. After being recolonized at SMS two years ago, the hard work has finally paid off. With representatives from Delta Chi in attendance, alumni from the old and new chapters, parents and friends all witnessed the banquet with feelings of joy.

The 50 chartering members that had helped rebuild Delta Chi at SMS were even more surprised as Raymond Galbreth, Executive Director, presented our “BB”, Mark Sluss, with the old chapter’s charter. Notable attendees at the banquet were former Region IV Regent Hamilton Henderson, current Region IV Regent Jason N. Butler, and Di-

rector of Expansion and Colony Operations J. Reed Davis. Since our return to SMS, we have won numerous Striving for Excellence Awards from the Greek Life Office, as well as placing 1st in Greek Jam, 2nd in Homecoming, and taking numerous first place trophies in intramural sports, not to mention having the 2nd highest GPA out of all fraternities. Along with a new charter, the chapter signed a lease for our first house, held our annual Powder Puff Football Philanthropy Tournament that raised over $1,000 for the local Boys and Girls Club and offered an alcohol awareness program for the Greek Community.

With a storied past at the university and a fast start to success, the Southwest Missouri State Chapter keeps its goals big and its list of accomplishments long.

SOUTH FLORIDA

We were hoping to have as much success this fall as we had in 2003, and with the third largest rush on campus of 17 guys, 15 of whom we now proudly call brothers, we are satisfied with our accomplishments. We are now a 53-man strong chapter, making us the third largest on campus. Going on our seventh year at USF, we are becoming a force to reckon with. We are moving into the spring semester with new ideas and a greater sense of the direction in which we would like to take our chapter.

We also volunteered for “Dome Donation Days,” an event that helps the Salvation Army collect food for the needy across central New York. We are continuing to establish ourselves on campus, especially with the help of our “BB”, Tom Decker, and the tireless work of Eric Jacobsen and Chad Davis, former “A” and our current Public Relations chair. Davis also became the first Delta Chi at Syracuse to be elected to the executive board of the IFC as the new Vice President of Internal Affairs. We also elected new officers for our ABT, with Joe DeFazio, Fredonia ’92, becoming the new president.

This semester will no doubt be equally as busy as we plan to hold our second annual “Chi

Kicks” Kickball Tournament to help raise money for underprivileged school children. We will also be hosting the 2005 Region VII Leadership Conference here in the spring and have been busy preparing for that.

This fall we have contributed greatly to our community here in San Marcos. We have volunteered over one hundred fifty community service hours to Students with Alternative Transportation. This October, we celebrated Founders’ Day with a

great success with alumni support. After dinner we celebrated with our alumni, dates, and friends. We are hoping to get even more involvement for our future philanthropy events.

On October 17 we held the second annual Founders’ Day Banquet, which interested Founding Father Scott Bayers to fly in from San Francisco, California just for the event.

The fall started off on a good note, with the Chapter’s members returning to the news of our sixth consecutive President’s Cup. Then, due to some changes in University policy, our rush program had to be completely revamped.

The chapter has been very busy with public relations ranging from “Highway Cleanup” to “Rock the Vote” to even helping a local camp close up for the winter. The chapter has also been active in intramurals and is on the way to a winning season in basketball.

Currently the Chapter is looking forward to our winter formal, which is set for Dec. 4.

Fishing means a great deal to Costner, and it’s not just about catching fish. For Costner, a day on the water fishing means getting closer to nature, closer to God. ”I feel badly for somebody who says, `I just don’t get what fishing is about,’” Costner says. “I guess you’ve had to grow up with it or something.”

Strege writes narrative lead-ins to introduce the various chapters. He talks about Brad Pitt and the making of A River Runs Through It, a shark attack, funny game warden stories, fishing presidents, practical jokes in fishing and the one that got away.

The tremendous support from his famous fraternity brother is not lost on Strege. ”Kevin really gave me the push I needed to pursue this one-of-a-kind book,” Strege says. “Kevin obviously took great pride and detail in making Dances with Wolves. You might say Celebrity Fish Talk is my equivalent, though on a much smaller scale.”
