Milestones! I found a quote I like that says, “At the age of 20, we don’t care what the world thinks of us; at 30, we worry about what it is thinking of us; at 40, we discover that it wasn’t thinking of us at all.”

2 Delta Chi | Quarterly | Fall/Winter 2007

Well, last summer, your “AA” turned 40 - a milestone along the path of my life. I remember in high school thinking that at the turn of the century (2000) I would be 33 years old and that it sounded “old” to me then. Now 33 seems extremely young. I also think of the adults in my life and think back to where I was in life when they were 40. How I looked at the age of 40 then and how I look at it now are vastly different. I guess that is one of the realities of life. I still feel 23. My involvement with Delta Chi keeps me young. It keeps me around college students, and that is fun. Of course I do feel 40 when I return home from a weekend of Delta Chi activities that usually involves airline flights and obscenely late nights. At any milestone, I believe we should take a moment to “stop and smell the flowers.” We should celebrate our relationships, challenge ourselves, and honor the past. I spent my fortieth birthday celebrating my relationships, surrounded by family and friends and fraternity brothers. It was just one more opportunity for me to realize how extremely blessed I am to have Lorrie as my partner in this journey, and I celebrated that relationship most of all. I also reflected on the relationships that Delta Chi has brought to my life. What a truly remarkable, life-changing decision it was to join Delta Chi 19 years ago. I challenged myself – played 40 holes of golf for my fortieth birthday and committed to doing the same on my 50th, 60th and so forth. And I honored the past, spending some time in reflection on what my first 40 years have been and how lucky I have been in my life. I took the opportunity to let some of the people who helped shape my life know what their involvement in my life has meant to me. Delta Chi is approaching several milestone events, including our 100,000th initiate. By my estimation, that milestone will hit sometime in 2009 or 2010. We are eight years from our 125th anniversary as an organization. I don’t want us to wait for these milestones to celebrate our

relationships, to challenge ourselves or to honor the past. We should look at each academic year as a milestone – each Homecoming – each regional conference – each International Convention. And we should celebrate our relationships, challenge ourselves and honor our past then. When the milestones hit, won’t we be a better organization for it? We have several months until we gather at Convention once again – this time in Las Vegas. I anticipate it will be the largest gathering of Delta Chis in our history, and I wonder if you will be there. I hope that hordes of undergraduates are making plans now to attend, as I am confident none will want to miss this one. I am also hopeful that alumni will come, at least for the weekend. It is a great place to bring your wife, enjoy the city, and participate in a gala dinner with hundreds of Delta Chis from all over North America. The Convention will be a milestone event for me as it will mark the end of my time as “AA”. We still have some things to accomplish in my final year in the position – including a serious look at housing, attention to average chapter sizes and minimum standards, some serious study on our governance issues and several other things. The Fraternity has a goal to raise $100,000 for The V Foundation for Cancer Research by the time we gather in Las Vegas. What an accomplishment that would be! In his book From Beginning to End: The Rituals of Our Lives (Villard Books, 1995), Robert Fulghum notes, “Rituals are timed by beats of the heart, not ticks of the clock.” Our organization is an organization of rituals. So as the spring is upon us, let’s time those rituals with the beats of the heart. I hope that our chapters and our alumni will join with the Fraternity leadership and take a moment to celebrate our relationships, to honor our past, and to challenge ourselves. We will all be better for it. See you in Las Vegas. In the Bond,

The V Foundation

At the 55th International Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, the Board of Regents announced Delta Chi’s partnership with The V Foundation for Cancer Research and named The V Foundation as the Fraternity’s preferred charitable organization. The V Foundation started with the dream of Jim Valvano, the passionate and committed former North Carolina State basketball coach and award-winning broadcaster, as he battled cancer. Wanting to see the battle through to victory, Valvano recruited friends and family to lead The V Foundation in his quest to eradicate the disease that ultimately claimed his life. It has been 14 years since ESPN and Jim Valvano founded The V Foundation for Cancer Research. And what significant work has been accomplished during that time! Since 1993, The V Foundation has raised more than $70 million and awarded cancer research grants in 37 states and the District of Columbia. The V Foundation has an excellent track record for finding and funding elite young scientists. Between 1994 – when the first V Scholar grants were awarded – and 2003, The V Foundation awarded 109 V Scholar grants to promising young researchers nationwide to help them establish their laboratories. The V Foundation also takes great pride in its fiscal responsibility and is proud to announce that it gives 100 percent of all new direct cash donations to cancer research and related programs. Recognized for its prudent fiscal management, The V Foundation has earned a top four-star rating from Charity Navigator, America’s largest charity evaluator, for a fourth consecutive rating.

DID YOU KNOW...

• One in every two men will get cancer in his lifetime

• Three out of every four American

families will have at least one family member diagnosed with cancer.

• Cancer is the second leading

cause of death, responsible for one in four deaths.

• Other than accidents, cancer is the

leading cause of death among children.

• Common causes of cancer: tobacco use, environmental factors, sun exposure, and unhealthy diet.

• Passion, Friendship and

Commitment. These themes run deep in The V Foundation.

• Friendships, Character, Justice

and Education. These are Delta Chi’s core values.

As the excitement unfolded at Convention, Delta Chi made a pledge to donate $100,000 as a collective effort of all our chapters, colonies, alumni chapters and alumni by the 56th International Convention. Convention is fast approaching this summer, and we only have a few months to make the final push to meet the Fraternity’s pledge. According to The V Foundation records, Delta Chi’s chapters, colonies, and members have raised over $86,000 (as of May 15, 2008) of its pledge. The Fraternity has reached over 85% of its goal, but this begs the question: Will Delta Chi merely meet its goal? Or will her dedicated members step up and exceed the pledge? The V Foundation is an outstanding cause, a cause that touches many of our members personally. Delta Chi can exceed its goal and be a worthy partner in the fight against cancer!

There are many ways to help. here are a few of the most popular... 1. Donate via The V Foundation’s web site at www.jimmyv.org, click on “How to Donate” at the top of the page. In the comments box please put “DELTA CHI FRATERNITY” to be sure The V Foundation can track our progress. Then forward the email copy of your donation to hq@deltachi. org for Delta Chi’s records.

2 . As a chapter or colony collects donations through planned events, please send the check directly to The V Foundation, along with a note briefly describing the event. Include the name of the event, date, location, how much money the event raised, how many man hours were contributed, the name of the chapter or colony’s contact person, the name of the chapter or colony and identification as The Delta Chi Fraternity. Please email a copy of the note to hq@deltachi.org for our records as well. Donations should be mailed to: The V Foundation for Cancer Research 106 Towerview Court Cary, North Carolina 27513

Delta Chi | Quarterly | Fall/Winter 2007 3

Chapter Highlight

Success at Cortland by Matthew E. Muzza, Cortland ’08 On April 9, 2005, twenty-one young men made the half-hour trip from Cortland to Syracuse in Central New York with no idea of what they were about to encounter. Waiting in the lobby for what seemed like days, the group was comprised of mostly baby-faced freshmen with sweaty palms. This was the night they were to become Founding Fathers in the fraternity of a lifetime, Delta Chi. That night in Syracuse will never be forgotten by any of the newly initiated Cortland Colony brothers. However, it was another night, just over two years later on April 21, 2007, that the same group of men, this time over fifty strong, made another half-hour drive to Syracuse that will truly go down in Colony history. This time however, the group had become a bit older and wiser; they were grown men; their suit coats were filled out; they walked with confidence and looked the “CC” and “DD” square in the eyes while giving them firmgripped handshakes; this was the night that the hard work had paid off. This was the night of their chartering banquet and the night they became a Chapter in high fashion. They shared the night with Ratheen Damle, “CC”; Tom Horowitz, “DD”; Duane Meyer, Regent (VII); Greg Hauser, past “AA” and former President of the NIC; David Weber, ABT President of Cornell; and Mike Tumolo, Vice-Regent (VII). The banquet was great, one of the best nights of the brothers’ lives, but a funny thing happened the next morning; the new Chapter was not satisfied. The members were not complacent. Although a Charter Proclamation rested on the mantle and the Region VII Chapter of the Year award was on their table, it wasn’t good enough. There was still a drive to win an Award of Excellence and bring home a Buff division President’s Cup. The Chapter wants to raise more money for The V Foundation and spend more time doing community service. The members want to get alumni initiates. There are more ways to reach out to their alumni and improve the campus presence. The Chapter wants to have the best Alumni Board of Trustees around and to host a Regional Leadership Conference. 4 Delta Chi | Quarterly | Fall/Winter 2007

That was a year ago, and now twelve months later there is more success. Since the chartering banquet, the Chapter moved into an eighteenperson chapter house and is proudly displaying the fraternity letters out front. Members have raised over $1,300 for The V Foundation and hosted the 2008 Region VII Regional Leadership Conference. Cortland brothers held both the President and VicePresident positions of the Cortland Inter-Greek Council and participated in a Crop Walk, a Halloween Fest, Cortland’s local Pumpkin Fest, and Relay for Life. Brothers won the Dragon Olympics at Homecoming and have established a new website (www.deltachicortland.com). Two brothers attended the Leadership College last summer and brought home many awards including: Outstanding Alumni Newsletter, Outstanding Campus Leadership, Outstanding Community Service Program, “E” Key Award – Matt Muzza ’08, Marge Lee “C” Award – David Bernacki ’08, and the Delta Chi Humanitarian Award – Ed Reiser ’09. The young Chapter has also redeveloped its Alumni Board of Trustees, asking Mike Tumolo, current Vice-Regent, to sit as ABT President and David Weber, current Vice-Regent, to serve as well. Behind the leadership of Tumolo, the ABT has started the “Campaign for Cortland,” a $10,000 fundraising goal to be used through the Chapter Scholarship Account under the Delta Chi Educational Foundation. Scholarships will be given out to the undergraduate members at the discretion of the ABT to offset the costs of tuition, room and board and/or textbooks. To prove his sincerity and dedication to this project, ABT President Tumolo has personally pledged $2,500 to the “Campaign for Cortland.” “These fine undergraduates make us all proud in so many ways. In two and one half years, the Brothers of Cortland have become a model for

fraternity life on campus and continue to set the bar high. In short they have become a beacon of light for Delta Chi here in Upstate New York,” Tumolo recently said. Through the recent success of the Chapter and the latest involvement of the Educational Foundation for our fundraising goal, the Chapter has received quite a bit of attention from some high-profile members of the Fraternity. During the fall semester brothers received visits to the chapter house from Steve Bossart, “AA”; Tom Horowitz, “DD”; Karl Grindel, Assistant Executive

Director; Fred Hammert, President of the Delta Chi Educational Foundation, past “AA”, past “CC” and Order of the White Carnation; Patrick Weber, Secretary of the Educational Foundation; and Mike Carroll, member of the Educational Foundation, past “AA”, past “CC”, past “DD” and Order of the White Carnation. Not only did these dedicated men of Delta Chi stop by the small town of Cortland, but they also had great things to say about the Chapter and its new house. “We were all impressed with the pride they take in their house and their Chapter. Nothing is taken for granted; you worked hard for what you have accomplished and you have a right to be proud. What a great environment for young men to learn to accept responsibility,” said Carroll. Educational Foundation President Fred Hammert also extended the chapter praise, saying, “We were all very impressed with the chapter and the quality of its members and the chapter’s commitment to excellence.” In conclusion, it was “AA” Steve Bossart who said it best of the fraternity men of Cortland, “You all should be proud of the presence you now have on the Cortland campus. The house is beautiful, and you all make Delta Chi proud. Please keep up the good work.” And that is just what the Delta Chi Chapter at Cortland will continue to do.

Member Highlight Corpus Christi Brother named National Collegiate Honors Council

2007 Honors

Student of

the Year

The National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC) selected Newman Chun-Wai Wong, a Founding Father of the Corpus Christi Colony, as Honors Student of the Year for 2007. In addition to his volunteer work, academic achievement, and leadership qualities, Newman was recognized for his contributions to the Honors Program at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMUCC). Newman is originally from Hong Kong, a former British colony and now a special administrative region of China. Influenced by both the Chinese and Western cultures, he is fluent in both English and Mandarin Chinese, other than his native tongue of Cantonese. Prior to pursuing his education in the United States, he developed a strong sense of service and achieved the Bronze Standard of Hong Kong Award for Young People in 2002. Four and one half years ago, Newman attended high school as an exchange student in Harlingen, Texas. He was introduced to the Latino culture for the first time. At the same time, he was exposed to sociology. Fascinated by the perspectives offered by sociology, he chose it as his college major. He moved to Corpus Christi after his first semester of high school. After graduating from Flour Bluff High School, he attended Del Mar College and worked as a peer tutor for the TRIO Program, in which he assisted first generation, low-income students in achieving their academic goals. In 2006, he received the Outstanding Sociology Student Award and graduated from the Honors Program with an Associate’s degree. Continuing his studies at TAMUCC, Newman had the opportunity to get involved in research. He presented his papers at the annual conferences of the National Association of African American Studies and the National Association of Hispanic and Latino Studies. As a senior, his recent research studies the cultural climate at TAMUCC with student and faculty surveys. He is a member of Alpha Kappa Delta International Sociology Honor Society, Golden Key International Honor Society, and Alumni Association

of Phi Theta Kappa, international honor society for junior colleges. Newman is a recipient of numerous scholarships, including the Salvation Army/Cain Endowment Scholarship, Phi Theta Kappa Alumni, Kennedy Memorial, and Mano-A-Mano from the Corpus Christi Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. He recalled his interview with the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce as an unforgettable experience. Newman honestly shared his feeling toward the community and told the scholarship committee that he loved Mexican food. He found Corpus Christi to be identical to his homeland, Hong Kong, which is by the ocean. Besides receiving scholarships, Newman serves the community in different ways. Last year, he volunteered over 100 hours at Metro Ministries, a local non-profit organization, helping the poor and homeless. Helping in the cafeteria, shelter, and office, Newman was blessed to speak with the “unforgotten” group. He also volunteered with the American Heart Association and the Coastal Bend AIDS Foundation. Newman has also been invited to speak about diversity at various community events, such as the Del Mar College Annual Unity March and “the Diversity Panel” for Leadership Corpus Christi by the Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce.

and fellow counselors said that Newman could become a professional comedian, because he is friendly and has a great sense of humor. On campus, Newman is involved with various organizations. He is a Senator for the College of Liberal Arts in Student Government, Student Representative to the Honors Council, President of Phi Theta Kappa Alumni Association, and founder of the South and East Asian Student Association. As an honors student, he established the peermentoring program to help new honors students have better academic transitions from high school to college and get involved in the Honors Program. Dr. Jan Haswell, TAMUCC Honors Program Director, described Newman as “one of our most accomplished and active honors students” and nominated him for Honors Student of the Year for 2007.

In fall 2007, Newman joined the Corpus Christi Colony, as he explained, “I don’t have any biological brothers, and I want to experience brotherhood.” Not long before initiation, Leadership Consultant Matt Presti expressed to Newman that he received a great award, while he (Newman) had no clue about it. Newman tried to verify the award with the Honors Program Director and found out that he was recognized as the Honors Student of the Year. Newman would like to thank Last summer, Newman Dr. Kenneth J. Sousa, the volunteered as a counselor alumnus who brought up for the National Student Newman working with students at the high school the news to headquarters, mock congress in Washington, D.C. Leadership Congress by the as he claimed, “I might never Council for Opportunity in Education in Washington, know about the award if I did not hear it from Delta D.C. He had the opportunity to interact with high Chi.” Currently, Newman is serving as Scholarship school participants of TRIO Upward Bound/Talent Committee Chair in the Colony. Search Programs, federal grant programs helping After graduation with a B.A. this May, Newman first generation, low-income students get into college. He facilitated mock congress sessions and will attend graduate school to further his studies commuted with the student delegates around D.C. in sociology. His goals are to become a sociology professor and ultimately work in the administration As a positive influence, he encouraged the students to actively pursue higher education.

stepping forward to do their part. Read the box on the next page to see what a Life Loyal Membership brings you. The Fraternity needs your direct support. More importantly, our undergraduates need your support. If you join now, it will save your Fraternity the cost of sending out solicitation letters and allow that much more of your gift to go where it is needed most! Gifts to the Delta Chi Fraternity are not tax deductible. The Delta Chi Fraternity would like to extend a special thank you to Brothers Steve Michels, Marquette ’87, and Don LaPlante, USC Faculty, for their generous support of the Fraternity’s “A”s’ Academy through their earmarked gifts to the Foundation. In addition to their support, an additional $1,332 was donated to the Foundation and designated by the donors to be for the grant to Delta Chi for the “A”s’ Academy, and we wish to thank those unidentified individuals as well.

You may be wondering.... why does Delta Chi need a Loyalty Fund program? That’s easy. Delta Chi must increase its income in order to remain competitive. Our undergraduates are already doing their part. In fact, did you know that our alumni outnumber our undergraduates by 16 to 1, yet undergraduates provide for more than 80% of the Fraternity’s budget? Our alumni can do better. And we feel that special recognition must be given to those

annual report

2006-2007 Annual Report CHAPTER SERVICES During the 2006-07 school year, we made a total of 199 visits to our 126 chapters and colonies. Every group received at least one visit, and the remaining visits included second visits where they were deemed to be the most appropriate. After a concerted effort to increase the number of alumni chapters in Delta Chi, we ended the school year with 23. If you are interested in starting one in your area, please contact Ray Galbreth at rayg@ deltachi.org. Also during the school year, we started colonies at Cincinnati, George Mason, North Alabama, and University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, while chartering at SUNY-Binghamton, SUNY-Cortland and The University of Michigan (the site of an 1892 charter). Finally, we lost our colonies at Iowa State and Kentucky and our Livingston and Reno Chapters.

PROGRAMMING The 2006-07 school year included the 2006 Cleveland Convention, and it had the largest attendance in our history with over 300 undergraduates and more than 200 alumni and guests. Besides the usual legislative sessions there were 33 educational breakout sessions, including a full track on recruitment and one for alumni. We also presented 239 chapter programming awards, 24 individual undergraduate awards, 49 individual alumni awards and 50 alumni group awards! We actually believe that there should and could have been far more, if only more chapters and people would have taken the opportunity to apply!! Over the Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend, January 2007, 117 of our chapters and colonies were represented at our second “A”s’ Academy! It was an all-expense paid learning experience held in Southern Indiana at St. Meinrad Archabbey. The Academy includes full group sessions along with many small group breakout sessions of roughly ten attendees with two facilitators, one Delta Chi and one Greek professional, for each small group. This has been an outstanding addition to our programming! While the Fraternity’s Board decided to start this vital program with no external funding, a key donor to The Delta Chi Educational Foundation stepped forward to offer his support. Steve Michels, Marquette ’87 and a member of the Foundation’s executive committee, has been funding a grant from the Foundation that has provided the significant majority of the Academy’s expenses. During the first half of 2007, there were the usual Regional Leadership Conferences hosted by a chapter in each of our nine Regions. Together, they had an attendance of roughly 900 undergraduates and alumni with a wide variety of fraternity and personal development breakouts. The oddnumbered Regions also held elections for the positions of Regent. With the last Senator Henry M. Jackson Leadership College having been hosted by the Foundation

in 2001, the Board of Regents felt that the Fraternity needed to step in and fill that void. The Fraternity hosted its first Leadership College in some time in 2005 and again in the summer of 2007. Both were held in Iowa City, site of the Fraternity’s Headquarters Office. The Leadership College differs from the “A”s’ Academy in that its programming has a different orientation: a single, values-based curriculum focused on identifying, internalizing and solidifying Delta Chi’s shared values with the decision-making process being consistent with the values of our Preamble. Also, chapters and colonies are encouraged to send multiple attendees instead of just their “A”s. First–come, first-served was the rule of the day with a cap of 120 attendees. For the 2007 College, which occurred in July so it was actually in the 2007-2008 school year, the registration fee was waived upon completion of the College. There was a travel reimbursement, and the Fraternity paid all on-site expenses.

FINANCES The operating budget for 2006-2007 was $1,372,079, and our expenses for the year were $1,466,561. Luckily, the stock market performed well and our investment income exceeded budget by $127,990, so we actually netted $58,190 (4.2%) for the year in the general fund. The Board of Regents voted to add that surplus to the 2007-2008 operating budget so, effectively, we broke even for the year. In the Risk Management Reserve, we are still far short of the reserve balance deemed needed to adequately protect the Fraternity. We have taken a $100,000 deductible to try to help build the reserves, but that involves the need for our chapters to better manage their risks in order not to draw on that deductible more than the $44,000 premium savings we achieved by taking it. Still, we are roughly $500,000 short of the reserve projected as necessary to cover our projected needs in the near term. The rule of thumb for an Endowment Fund is that it needs to be the equivalent of one year’s operating budget. Using just the general fund’s budget places us roughly $300,000 from that goal. Still, the Fraternity is in the best financial shape in its history with over $8 million in total assets including the $3.95 million in the Housing Fund. The Endowment Fund serves two main purposes. One is to provide investment income to help supplement the general fund income and, thus, avoid the need to raise dues by that amount. For 2006-2007, the Fund earned $123,700 thanks again to the good year in the stock market. The Board of Regents voted to only transfer $40,000 to operations out of the Endowment Fund for the 2007-2008 year, based on concerns over the stock market results from 2006-2007 being potentially inflated and concerns over the near term in the equity markets. The second purpose of the Endowment Fund is to act as a “safety net” in case of a major problem. While another World War

or Korea does not seem to loom on the horizon, the Endowment Fund did help keep the Fraternity afloat during those conflicts. Prudence deems that we need to be prepared and, in the interim, benefit from the supplemental income.

HOUSING FUND As previously stated, the Housing Fund had $3,952,000 in net assets as of June 30, 2006. Included in that figure were loans to 13 chapter house corporations totaling $1,770,000. There were three loans that were substantially delinquent, over 30 days past due, with outstanding principal amounts totaling $262,000, resulting in a delinquency rate of 15% at fiscal year end. The bad debt reserve associated with these three loans totaled $7,400, due to the substantial collateral involved and the loans being well secured. The bad debt reserve for the remaining loans was $384,000. Principal repayments and loan interest for the year totaled $435,000 with the loans on two houses being paid off early. The housing committee stands ready to receive any reasonable loan application from our local house corporations around the U.S. and Canada. A committee was formed at the direction of the Board of Regents to research the potential for Delta Chi to take a more aggressive position in the area of housing, and that committee is expected to report to the Board at its 2008 preConvention meeting.

STAFFING Delta Chi has been blessed with great stability in its support staff at the Headquarters. Marge Lee, Office Manager, has been with us since September of 1964. Debra Bilskemper, Secretary, was in her 21st year; Anne Schulte, Clerk, was in her 12th year; and Claudia Jansenius, Clerk, was in her 10th year. Ray Galbreth, Executive Director since May of 1979, headed the professional staff. Karl Grindel, Central Missouri ’01, was the Assistant Executive Director and has been on staff since 2001, serving previously as a Leadership Consultant and Director of Chapter Development. Matt Killingsworth, Kansas State ’02, was the Director of Chapter Services after having previously been a Leadership Consultant for one year before moving up to that position. Matt also served as the Convention Coordinator for both the 2004 and the 2006 Conventions. Rusty Williams, Georgia Southern ’05, was Director of Expansion and Colony Operations after first serving as a Leadership Consultant for one year. We started the school year with six Leadership Consultants: Chad Davis, Syracuse ’05; Jonathan Nichols, New Mexico State ’05; Joshua Redshaw, Minnesota ’06; Justin Roberts, Pittsburgh ’06; Ryan Roberts, Marquette ’06; and Sean Rossiter, Western Michigan ’05. Justin and Sean both left at the end of December, while Josh, Chad and Ryan left in the spring.

2006-2007 AWARD WINNERS The Delta Chi Awards Program is designed to recognize and promote those areas that are critical to the success of the chapter. The “E” Key, the Fraternity’s oldest award, and the Marge Lee Outstanding “C” Award recognize the performance of two vital chapter officers. For the other awards, the Fraternity is divided into two divisions: Red and Buff. The Red Division contains those chapters with 15 or more fraternities on their campuses or whose Greek systems have over 30 percent of the undergraduate student body. The remaining chapters make up the Buff Division. In recognition of the chapter’s performance on campus and within the community, the Outstanding Campus Leadership, Outstanding Community Service Program, Outstanding Intramural Program, Outstanding Membership Recruitment Program, Outstanding Scholarship Program, Outstanding Financial Management, Outstanding Website, and Outstanding Ritual and Ceremonies Awards were presented. In addition, alumni chapters were recognized for outstanding performance in the following areas: Outstanding Communication Program, Outstanding Recruitment and Retention, and Outstanding Website. These awards address the important alumni programming areas of a chapter: the Outstanding Alumni Board of Trustees, Outstanding Alumni Newsletter, Outstanding “BB” Awards, Outstanding House Corporation, and Outstanding Faculty Advisor. Chapters that have shown a marked improvement in their overall operations are given the Certificate of Achievement. The “AA” selects the winner of the Most Improved Chapter from the recipients of this award. The winners of the Award of Excellence show strength across the board. In most cases they are winners of several awards. When they are not, they show above average performance in all areas with no area of weakness. From the recipients of the Award of Excellence, the “AA” selects the President’s Cup winners. There is a maximum of three Cups in each Division.

risk management policy

FIPG, INC.* Risk Management Policy Revised 12/07 The Risk Management Policy of FIPG, Inc. includes the provisions that follow and shall apply to all fraternity entities and all levels of fraternity membership. ALCOHOL & Drugs 1. The possession, sale, use or consumption of ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, while on chapter premises, or during a fraternity event, in any situation sponsored or endorsed by the chapter, or at any event an observer would associate with the fraternity, must be in compliance with any and all applicable laws of the state, province, county, city and institution of higher education, and must comply with either the BYOB or Third Party Vendor Guidelines. 2. No alcoholic beverages may be purchased through or with chapter funds nor may the purchase of same for members or guests be undertaken or coordinated by any member in the name of, or on behalf of, the chapter. The purchase or use of a bulk quantity or common source(s) of alcoholic beverage, for example, kegs or cases, is prohibited. 3. OPEN PARTIES, meaning those with unrestricted access by non-members of the fraternity, without specific invitation, where alcohol is present, are prohibited. 4. No members, collectively or individually, shall purchase for, serve to, or sell alcoholic beverages to any minor (i.e., those under legal “drinking age”). 5. The possession, sale or use of any ILLEGAL DRUGS or CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES while on the chapter premises or during a fraternity event or at any event that an observer would associate with the fraternity is strictly prohibited. 6. No chapter may co-sponsor an event with an alcohol distributor or tavern (tavern defined as an establishment generating more than half of annual gross sales from alcohol) at which alcohol is given away, sold or otherwise provided to those present. This includes any event held in, at or on the property of a tavern as defined above for purposes of fundraising. However, a chapter may rent or use a room or area in a tavern as defined above for a closed event held within the provisions of this policy, including the use of a third party vendor and guest list. An event at which alcohol is present may be conducted or co-sponsored with a charitable organization if the event is held within the provisions of this policy. 16 Delta Chi | Quarterly | Fall/Winter 2007

7. No chapter may co-sponsor, co-finance or attend or participate in a function at which alcohol is purchased by any of the host chapters, groups or organizations. 8. All recruitment or rush activities associated with any chapter will be non-alcoholic. No recruitment or rush activities associated with any chapter may be held at or in conjunction with a tavern or alcohol distributor as defined in this policy. 9. No member or pledge, associate/new member or novice, shall permit, tolerate, encourage or participate in “drinking games.” The definition of drinking games includes but is not limited to the consumption of shots of alcohol, liquor or alcoholic beverages, the practice of consuming shots equating to one’s age, “beer pong,” “century club,” “dares” or any other activity involving the consumption of alcohol which involves duress or encouragement related to the consumption of alcohol. 10. No alcohol shall be present at any pledge/ associate member/new member/novice program, activity or ritual of the chapter. This includes but is not limited to activities associated with “bid night,” “big brotherlittle brother” events or activities, / ”big sister-little sister” events or activities, “family” events or activities and initiation.

hazing No chapter, colony, student or alumnus shall conduct nor condone hazing activities. Permission or approval by a person being hazed is not a defense. Hazing activities are defined as: “Any action taken or situation created, intentionally, whether on or off fraternity premises, to produce mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment, or ridicule. Such activities may include but are not limited to the following: use of alcohol; paddling in any form; creation of excessive fatigue; physical and psychological shocks; quests, treasure hunts, scavenger hunts, road trips or any other such activities carried on outside or inside of the confines of the chapter house; wearing of public apparel which is conspicuous and not normally in good taste; engaging in public stunts and buffoonery; morally degrading or humiliating games and activities; and any other activities which are not consistent with academic achievement,

fraternal law, ritual or policy or the regulations and policies of the educational institution or applicable state law.”

SEXUAL ABUSE The fraternity will not tolerate or condone any form of sexist or sexually abusive behavior on the part of its members, whether physical, mental or emotional. This is to include any actions that are demeaning to women or men, including but not limited to verbal harassment, and sexual assault by individuals or members acting together.

FIRE, HEALTH AND SAFETY 1. All chapter houses should meet all local fire and health codes and standards. 2. All chapters should post by common phones and in other locations emergency numbers for fire, police and ambulance and should have posted evacuation routes on the back of the door of each sleeping room. 3. All chapters should comply with engineering recommendations as reported by the insurance company or municipal authorities. 4. The possession and/or use of firearms or explosive devices of any kind within the confines and premises of the chapter house is prohibited. 5. Candles should not be used in chapter houses or individual rooms except under controlled circumstances such as initiation.

EDUCATION Each fraternity shall annually instruct its students and alumni/alumnae in the Risk Management Policy of FIPG, Inc. Additionally, all students and key volunteers shall annually receive a copy of the Risk Management Policy, and a copy of the policy shall be available on the fraternity website.

THIRD PARTY VENDOR CRITERIA THE VENDOR MUST: 1. Be properly licensed by the appropriate local and state authority. This may involve both a liquor license and a temporary license to sell on the premises where the function is to be held. 2. Be properly insured with a minimum of $1,000,000 of general liability insurance, evidenced by a properly completed certificate of insurance prepared by the insurance provided.

chapter situations What follows is a list of chapters that are on Corrective Action for violation of the Risk Management Policy as of March 31, 2008. That is not to say the chapters on the following list are “bad” chapters. Likewise, it is unrealistic to assume that chapters that are not on this list are complying with every policy. The bottom line of this issue is that members of the Fraternity are engaging in dangerous activities and taking unnecessary risks with their future and the future of Delta Chi, because they believe this will help fill voids where their needs are not being met. Whatever the case, the solution remains the same. Each and every chapter needs the involvement of mature alumni who can help the Fraternity’s student members discover that there are alternatives that can meet both their long and short-term needs. Finally, each and every member of Delta Chi needs to periodically reflect on Delta Chi’s values as contained in our Preamble: Promote Friendship, Develop Character, Advance Justice, and Assist in the Acquisition of a Sound Education.

The certificate of insurance must also show evidence that the vendor has, as a part of his/her insurance coverage, “off premises liquor liability coverage and non-owned and hired auto coverage.” Named insureds included on the certificate of insurance must as a minimum include the local chapter hiring the vendor as well as the international fraternity that the local chapter is affiliated with. 3. Agree in writing to cash sales only, collected by the vendor during the function. 4. Assume in writing all the responsibilities that any other purveyor of alcoholic beverages would assume in the normal course of business, including but not limited to: a. Checking identification cards upon entry; b. Not serving minors; c. Not serving individuals who appear to be intoxicated; d. Maintaining absolute control of ALL alcoholic containers present; e. Collecting all remaining alcohol at the end of a function (no excess alcohol – opened or unopened – is to be given, sold or furnished to the chapter); f. Removing all alcohol from the premises.

POLICY GUIDELINES According to FIPG 1. Closed parties (meaning those events with alcohol present) should have a guest list prepared at least 24 hours in advance. A ratio of two guests per member (or fire code capacity, whichever is smaller) is suggested. 2. “Non-alcoholic” keg beer is not permitted because it can contain up to .05 percent alcohol. Therefore, serving it would be a violation of our policy.

According to the Delta Chi Risk Management Manual 1. At chapter social events, signs should be posted that indicate the chapter complies with and enforces the laws and policies with respect to alcohol, illegal drugs, and controlled substances. 2. All persons present should not be allowed access to alcohol if they are intoxicated, regardless of age. 3. Alcohol should only be used as an adjunct to the event rather than its focus. 4. The use of alcohol on the premises should be stopped at least one hour before the end of the function. 5. Plenty of non-salty foods and non-alcoholic alternative beverages should be provided. 6. Adequate professional security should be provided to deal with uninvited guests and monitor any other potential problems. 7. Trained party monitors should be present to respond to situations. A ratio of one party monitor for every 20 attendees is suggested. Party monitors should agree to the following: a. Not to consume alcohol, and remain sober for the duration of the event. b. Make sure the party starts and ends on time and that the bar opens and closes on time. c. Wear distinctive clothing to identify themselves at all times. 8. Buses, taxis, phone numbers, etc. should be provided for any event to promote the safe return of members and guests. 9. “Hard” liquor (alcohol rated by proof rather than percentage) should be prohibited from all parties. For “bring your own” parties, a six-pack of beer (or the alcoholic equivalent), or less, per person is allowed. 10. Glass bottles of any sort should not be allowed. Restrict consumption of any beverages to cans and plastic cups.

Corrective Action Levels Level 1 – Level 1 Corrective Action shall include, but is not limited to, ordering that the Chapter cease and desist from the conduct in the future and be in accordance with the requirements of Delta Chi Law and the Risk Management Policy of the Fraternity. The Chapter shall be required to submit to the Executive Director a written statement that all prohibited conduct has been stopped. The statement shall be signed by the “A”, “BB” and such other members of the Chapter, as specified in the report, that were involved with or had supervision over the conduct in the violation. Level 2 – Level 2 Corrective Action shall include, but is not limited to, all provisions of Level 1, plus the Chapter shall submit a written plan of procedures and/or activities that comply with the Fraternity’s Risk Management Policy covering the activities in the violation. The plan shall be updated at least twice per year for the period of corrective action. Level 3 – Level 3 Corrective Action shall include, but is not limited to, all provisions of Levels 1 and 2, plus supervision of the activities of the Chapter that were involved in the violation, by a person or persons acceptable to the Executive Director. Level 4 – Level 4 Corrective Action shall include, but is not limited to, all provisions of Levels 1, 2 and 3 plus the charter of the Chapter shall be suspended for the period of time of the corrective action. Chapters under Level 4 Corrective Action shall either be placed in conservatorship, as provided in Delta Chi Law, or shall operate under the direct supervision of the Executive Director. Level 5 – Level 5 Corrective Action shall require the suspension of the charter and the cessation of operation of the Chapter as it then exists. Reestablishment of the Chapter shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Board of Regents after a minimum one-year period.
