Four Words...

For every Delta Chi, it is our favorite time of year: the return to campus for our undergraduate brothers, brisk fall air, and Founders’ Day! Let me be the first to wish everyone, “Happy Founders’ Day!” As we reflect of the 123rd anniversary of the founding of our Fraternity, let us remember the Preamble as well as the eleven Basic Expectations of Delta Chi. In a recent conversation with Ray Galbreth, Missouri ’69, we were talking about the meaning of the Preamble. He made an interesting observation: “The four most important words in the Preamble are ‘promote’, ‘develop’, ‘advance’ and ‘assist.’

They are the verbs in each clause, and it is our actions that make Delta Chi!” I had never before thought about the Preamble this way, and I think Ray’s thinking is absolutely correct.

PROMOTE friendship – It is our responsibility to contribute to the growth and prosperity of friendships both inside and outside of the Fraternity. It is important to find the potential for friendship with all individuals we meet. When we participate in philanthropic and community events, we are able to PROMOTE friendship within our communities and campuses as well.

The other aspect of promoting friendship involves conflict. We need to be mindful and work to limit conflict, whether it is inside or outside of the house.

When conflict does occur, be sure to act. Promote resolution in a calm, courteous and professional way so that friendship may ultimately prevail.

DEVELOP character – We, as brothers, should encourage

each other to expand our experiences and allow each other to grow - each in our own way. Through different opinions, experiences, and over time, we all become who we are.

Our character is what makes us individuals, and we should be encouraging each other in a positive way to DEVELOP into who we are, especially during our undergraduate years.

More importantly, we should also continue to develop throughout our lifetime. We do not, however, need to encourage stereotypical or bad behavior, as this does not assist us in becoming better men.

ADVANCE justice – Do the right thing. It is that simple. Don’t stand by quietly and do nothing while an associate member is being hazed or you see a brother getting ready to make a poor decision. You have a responsibility to step in and help. Justice is not for the few, or for Delta Chi brothers only. Rather, it is for everyone. Imagine how far the reputation of the fraternity community could ADVANCE if all fraternity men stepped in when hazing, sexual abuse, or other inappropriate behaviors were about to occur.

Be a leader. Lead by example. Remember your oath, and remember your values.

ASSIST in the acquisition of a sound education – Are we truly doing all we can to assist our members in the pursuit of an education? We are each other’s keeper and should be encouraging study hours, going to class, and academic success. We must start this during the associate member program and carry it through to graduation. Be sure everyone knows where the tutoring center is on campus. Let’s encourage a struggling brother to go to his professors’ office hours.

Go with him, if need be. Have your Faculty Advisor come and speak to the associate member class on the importance of academic success, and ask all of the brothers to attend as well. If we ASSIST and watch over each other, we are more likely to graduate on time, and we stand a better chance of obtaining a good job to start our careers.

These basic core values and principles are part of what makes us unique and better men - not just better fraternity men, but better men throughout our lives.

It is my honor as your 52nd “AA” to wish you a happy Founders’ Day, and I hope you will remember these four important words - PROMOTE, DEVELOP, ADVANCE AND ASSIST - today, and in the future. The Preamble is, and these words are, not just for our student members.

ROB HARRELL

DePauw ’91

In 2002, Jeff Main, DePauw ’89, introduced Quarterly readers to a brother from his chapter who had a knack for making people laugh. Then, Rob Harrell, DePauw ’91, had just received his “big break” - one many artists could only dream of. Harrell’s comic strip, Big Top, had been picked up by Universal Press and would go on to be read each morning by hundreds of thousands of people in nearly 50 cities across the globe.

Big Top, a daily strip, chronicled the antics of a unique combination of circus characters from 2002 until 2007. During those years, Harrell worked with the very same company that managed Doonesbury, Garfield, and Foxtrot.

“I think that Big Top had almost a cult following. I got lots of correspondence with lots of people who loved it,” Harrell shared. “And I was so happy doing that strip. I loved the characters; they became like family to me.”

However, life threw Harrell a giant curve ball in 2005 when he learned that he had cancer above his right eye. Traditional radiation would have left Harrell blind and unable to draw anymore.

Luckily, Harrell found an experimental treatment which preserved the sight in at least one eye. While having the surgery and during recovery, Harrell was blessed with a truly unique honor.

“One of the coolest things that happened was when fifteen cartoonists filled in for me,” recalled Harrell. “They each did Big Top in their own style. Everyone

from Bill Hinds, who does Tank McNamara, to Jim Davis, creator of Garfield, each did a day. Cartoonists are the nicest people I’ve met over the years.”

With this turn of events, Harrell needed to ultimately end Big Top in 2007 in order to focus on his recovery and finances. Today, one can enter the Big Top world either with a free membership at gocomics.com or on Amazon.com (Kindle and traditional copies of Big Top are available for purchase).

While Harrell settled into a more traditional line of work after his recovery from cancer, he never stopped drawing or writing. Soon, he found himself back in the saddle with the opportunity to write and draw Adam@Home, another Universal Press comic strip that today appears in over 140 newspapers across the globe.

This drive and passion ultimately led to Harrell getting his next big break - Monster on the Hill, and the story is best told by Harrell himself (reprinted & abridged with permission from Harrell’s guest blog post on forbiddenplanet.co.uk).

A few years ago, I was approached to do a sevenpage piece for an anthology. The anthology was to raise money for cancer research, and as I’d been through my own cancer woes, I jumped at the chance. I was also just curious if it was something I could do.

The idea of stretching out and telling a story that didn’t require a punchline every fourth panel sounded great. It also came at a time

DELTA CHI QUARTERLY

when I was struggling a bit. I was losing the sight in my right eye from the earlier cancer treatments. I had ended [Big Top] due to some health and financial issues, and I’d taken a day job that was less than creatively fulfilling. In a word, I was depressed.

So, I ended up doing a story called ‘Melancholia’, about a depressed monster and the doctor that helped him rediscover his mojo. For the character designs, I raided the stacks of sketches I had been doing during down time at my job. I’d been drawing a lot of monsters and birds, for some reason. Maybe because monsters are just fun to draw. The drawings were mostly done in ballpoint pen on the back of agendas for the meetings I was covering.

When the anthology fell through, Melancholia sat for a while in a drawer before I was convinced to show it to Top Shelf Productions. Top Shelf had always been my favorite publisher, with its clear focus on great stories. Chris Staros liked what I had, asked if I had ideas for expanding the story and world, and we were off to the races. The idea of a world where every town has its own monster on the hill followed suit, and Melancholia became Monster on the Hill.

I really had no idea what I was getting into. After the writing was done and I was ready to start the artwork, I told my wife Amber that she might not see me a lot for the next six months… I finished the art just over two years later. A comic strip is a 50-yard dash. A graphic novel is a marathon.

This was the first sketch of what became Rayburn, who is the main character in “Monster on the Hill”.

You can see that he was drawn right over the copy from the agenda. His look evolved a bit over time, but I felt a kinship with him from the start.

Cover Story

monster on the hill In a fantastical 1860s England, every quiet little township is terrorized by a ferocious monster -- much to the townsfolk’s delight!

Each town’s unique monster is a source of local pride, not to mention tourism.

Each town, that is... except for one. Unfortunately for the people of Stoker-on-Avon, their monster isn’t quite as impressive. In fact, he’s a little down in the dumps. Can the morose Rayburn get a monstrous makeover and become a proper horror? It’s up to the eccentric Dr. Charles Wilkie and plucky street urchin Timothy to get him up to snuff, before a greater threat turns the whole town to kindling.

Monsters of all ages are sure to enjoy this tale about life’s challenges, the power of friendship, and creative redemption, packed with epic battles and plenty of wild beasts!

Here’s the first sketch of Tentaculor. In the book, I wanted him to be both intimidating and a bit goofy. So I played up the ‘tuft’ on his head and what are essentially big buck teeth. Buck fangs? I’m not sure why they put that blank page warning on the back of agendas, but they always do.

FROM IDEA TO STORY

Illustrating “Monster on the Hill”

1

I sketched the story out as I wrote it in thumbnails. They were incredibly rough so that I could write quickly. Those roughs were for my eyes only. But here’s one!

I would then do a slightly tighter version of the pages before showing them to my editor.

I work digitally. I use a Cintiq, and I can’t say enough good things about it.

I mentioned losing sight in the right eye. Well, along with that I lost my depth perception, which has made it more difficult to draw with a brush pen the way I was used to. Control-Z is my friend, because if I hit the surface before I think I’m going to, I can undo, undo, undo.

(FYI – Cancer free for seven years!)

I generally scanned my cleaned up roughs and used them to work up an even tighter sketch digitally. Being able to move elements and copy around was invaluable, and my hat is truly off to those who do it the old-fashioned way.

Then I’d go in and ink and color on different layers. I know just enough Photoshop to get by, so I don’t have any weird tips. If there is an old-fashioned way to color in Photoshop, that’s what I did.

Cover Story When the Quarterly caught up with Rob Harrell, he was just returning from Comic-Con in San Diego, the largest convention for comic books, science fiction/fantasy, and related pop culture art, after a week of promoting his newest graphic novel, Monster on the Hill, and a nationally syndicated comic strip, Adam@Home.

How was Comic-Con?

Tell us a bit about your style of including anachronisms in Monster on the Hill.

It was crazy. The crowds were insane. I was at the Top Shelf booth for most of the weekend signing and selling Monster on the Hill books. I also signed autographs at the Go Comics booth for Adam@Home.

I’m just trying to make myself laugh with most of what I write. I get a kick out of having characters [in the 1800s] in a situation where you think they can’t get out of until they pull out their cell phones or something. In Monster on the Hill, there are references to Hot Pockets and a certain blanket with sleeves. Some people think I might have done that unintentionally, but I just find it very funny to put things like that in the story.

How has the reception for Monster on the Hill been thus far?

It’s been received very well. Graphic novels are getting more recognition now, and they’re one of the true growth areas in publishing. I’m just so honored by the good reviews so far.

Video games, movies, and internet videos famously feature “Easter eggs” with bonus or hidden content. When you were illustrating Monster on the Hill, did you sneak anything in there?

In your own words, what is Monster on the Hill about?

I wanted it to be a fun story, but I also wanted the story to be about overcoming obstacles and depression. The Murk, who is the bad character in the book, was that murky, dark stuff inside all of us. I saw Rayburn as someone who is depressed.

So, the story deals with depression in a literal and figurative way. Sometimes I get a bit of a blank look because people think, “I just thought it was a fun story about monsters.” Of course, for Delta Chis there’s a correlation to losing your way and visiting friends you knew years ago to remind you who you really are. After Big Top and my health problems, I did struggle with depression.

I did this story as part of my way to work through some of that stuff. I wanted to write something as sort of my journey in the hopes that it would help somebody else, too.

Yes, I did a few things like that. My wife’s name shows up in the background. If you look closely, you’ll find a tip of the hat to Delta Chi hidden in the book. I had fun with the details.

Have you ever gotten writers’ block or been unable to think creatively? How do you work around that?

Yeah, I do. Occasionally, I’ll have a day where I just don’t feel like the drawing is working right.

But that’s a lot more rare than days where I just feel like I can’t get the writing done. I try to work ahead on writing, especially when I’m feeling it.

When you’re working from home, stuff stacks up on your plate, and it just gets hard to be creative.

Sometimes you just have to purge all that stuff get the faucet fixed and replace the light bulbs - in order to take care of business.

Do you always work from home or do you find creativity in working in other locations?

Thankfully, Austin has a bunch of really cool coffee shops. So a lot of times I’ll write at one of those.

There’s just something about the white noise of people being around that distracts the critic part of my brain and makes it easier.

murk

There’s a proverb that goes: “Behind every great man, there’s a great woman.” How does your wife factor into your creative process?

My wife is really valuable as a person to run things by. Though, she actually likes to stay a little bit distant from my work until things get into place. I think she doesn’t want to scare me away with a critique or something like that.

Once I gain momentum, she’ll get involved with a project and give feedback.

Your career necessitates having many skills. You must be a talented writer, a stand-out illustrator, and passionate about pitching your work in order to secure projects. Which skill or aspect of your career do you find most fulfilling?

I think the most fun for me is the writing part of it. When I thought about being a cartoonist, I had always focused on the art. After Big Top ended, I realized I missed the writing so much. So, while writing is probably the most challenging aspect, it’s also the most satisfying to sit down and do.

From your perspective, what are the trends in the publishing industry?

Middle grade books for reluctant readers are becoming very popular, such as Diary of a Wimpy Kid. They can’t keep these books on the shelves.

Kids read one book and want to read the rest in the series. And parents respond with, “Wow! If my kid wants to read, let’s get him something to read.” These style of books are perfect for comic strip artists because we know how to write stories and also do the artwork. This will actually be my next big project: the first of a three book series of this style. I’m just now finishing my first book - Life of Zarf - and it’s like my dream job - I just love writing it. It will be released Fall 2014 from Dial/Penguin Books.

Do you find inspiration for any of your projects from your Delta Chi experiences?

I’m always thinking, in the back of my mind, ‘Who am I trying to make laugh?’, and I look back on Delta Chi and the guys in the Chapter often.

When I write, I think to myself, ‘Will this make Travis laugh?’

Looking back at your time at DePauw, what memories do you hold dear?

Those were the four best years of my life. I had so much fun. I don’t think there’s any other way to make friendships like I did [in Delta Chi]. I still stay in touch with guys from college and the guys I was in the house with.

This was my first pass at drawing the Murk. By this point, I had a rough idea of the story, so his look was a bit more dictated by what I needed from him as a villain.

Alumnus Spotlight

DR. JIMMIE J. UNDERWOOD A Lifetime of Service Finding a place to live was the top priority for Jimmie J. Underwood upon arriving in Lawrence in the fall of 1949 to begin his freshman year at Kansas University. Within a few days, Underwood found that place to live. Along with a roof over his head, he also discovered a bond that would last a lifetime.

Over the course of his life, Underwood would see the Delta Chi Fraternity grow and develop in to the quality Fraternity known to brothers around the world today.

Dr. Jimmie J. Underwood, simply known as “Doc” from his career as a dentist, joined Delta Chi in the fall of 1949. A native of Anthony, Kansas, Doc began his college years without a place to live. When Doc and his father arrived in Lawrence, they were told that no housing was available. After finally securing a room through the Kansas housing office, they learned fraternity pledging was ready to begin. Doc signed up for rush his first night on campus.

“Twenty of us were initiated at one time, in order of our semester grade averages,” Doc said. “Because the chapter had been closed during the war, and had just reopened, we did not have pledge books, songbooks, BRIEFs, or other premise materials – we just winged it.”

Decades later, “winging” that initiation would come full circle during Convention.

In the four years Doc spent as a member of the Kansas Chapter, he said there was only one person to visit his chapter from Delta Chi Headquarters, and it was a man that would have a profound effect on his life.

That man was Marsh White, Penn State ’29, a faculty member on the Kansas campus establishing a chapter for an honorary physics fraternity.

“

I walked up the hill to the student union, and started the visits to all the fraternities I had listed. I was overjoyed to pledge Delta Chi.

The next morning, Doc found the Delta Chi house, but learned they could not talk to him because he was registered for rush.

”

Doc said White was impressive and that he had no idea who he was except that he was an older brother from another chapter. Years later, White could still recall how the two first met at Kansas.

The only constant contact the chapter had with headquarters while Doc was an undergraduate was receiving the “O.K.” from O.K. Patton, Iowa ’12, regarding financial records.

Following graduation from Kansas, Doc went on to four years of dental school and two years served in the United States Air Force in Germany. He then opened his general dental practice in Lawrence.

Doc was assigned the job as the Kansas Chapter “BB”, a position he would hold for 15 years. In 1960 he attended his first Convention, in Indianapolis.

That night, Doc received the information he needed, and the following day began a three-day rush period.

At the Indianapolis convention Doc would again cross paths with White, who was to become his mentor and friend.

“I walked up the hill to the Student Union, and started the visits to all the fraternities I had listed,” Doc said. “I was overjoyed to pledge Delta Chi.”

“[White was] the most outstanding Delta Chi who I’ve ever met,” Doc said.

Doc remembers the fraternity house being close to the University, on top of a hill.

“I moved in immediately, and didn’t leave it for four years,” Doc said.

“I still hate to walk anywhere, especially uphill.”

After those four years, Doc continued to live in the bond, dedicating countless hours to Delta Chi. However, keeping close ties with the Fraternity wasn’t something he thought he’d always do.

Doc also had the opportunity to meet Lew Armstrong, Washington ’39, at the 1960 Convention. Armstrong was to be elected “AA” that year and was determined during his time as International President to make sure every chapter and brother was going through Ritual correctly.

“He told me that when he was traveling for the Fraternity, one of the shocks was the wide differences in the way the chapters put on the initiation ritual,” Doc said.

In the late 1940s, most fraternities were just beginning to reopen following temporary closures due to World War II.

Doc said Armstrong asked him to bring enough undergraduates to the next Convention in 1962 to demonstrate the Ritual correctly. Doc agreed, and subsequently realized that his own chapter members may actually have needed some assistance with the Ritual themselves.

Doc said his most memorable experience as an undergraduate was his initiation, and it was an initiation that was different from most.

“I had never seen a Ritual other than the one we did at Kansas,” Doc said. “Since I knew the Chapter had lost all of the Ritual material when

“I didn’t have any idea then, but it just grew on me, I guess,” Doc said.

DELTA CHI QUARTERLY

Alumnus Spotlight the Chapter was closed during the war, I made it imperative that [Armstrong] visit our next regional conference,” Doc said.

Conveniently that next chapter conference was being held at Kansas. Armstrong attended the conference, becoming the first serving “AA” to visit the chapter since its chartering in 1923.

Doc shared that the 1960 Convention also signaled a change in the governance of Delta Chi. At the time, there was a group, known as the “XX,” made up of all the “BB”s from the different chapters that only met during Convention. Delta Chi was beginning a transition from a Board of Directors supported by the “XX” to the Executive Committee of three, supported by eight Regents and an Executive Secretary.

Doc said it was recommended to him that William Boyd Prugh, Kansas ’14, be asked to fill the position of Regent.

With the position being newly created and with no real description of the job duties, Doc told Prugh it was be similar to being a “BB” to about seven chapters who made up the region at the time. Prugh accepted the position.

significant changes approved within the Fraternity.

One of those changes came at the 1954 Convention in Biloxi, Mississippi, when the “white clause” for initiation was eliminated.

At the 1970 Convention in Dallas, Doc found White and George Obear, DePauw ’30, having a very early breakfast in the hotel bar. The two men invited Doc to join them.

“We became regulars from then on,” Doc said. “We were never disturbed because it was about six in the morning when we had that breakfast.”

The two were trying to figure out how to honor Victor T. Johnson, Purdue ’32, who had served as Director, Assistant Treasurer, and President of the Delta Chi Educational Foundation.

“Finally, George rolled out a form for the new order to be called the Order of the White Carnation,” Doc said.

Doc can still recall when White and Obear presented the idea of the Order of the White Carnation to several brothers and then to the 1975 Convention. Delta Chi had always been short on positions to honor members

in his business and he liked to call on chapters when he was in town,” Doc said. “That’s how the position of Vice Regent evolved.”

Gray went on serve as “CC” in 1975, and he was elected “AA” in 1975.

“He lived and loved Delta Chi and was probably instrumental in the founding of more chapters than any recent alumnus,” Doc said. “He probably had more to do with the hiring of Raymond Galbreth, Missouri ’69, as the Fraternity’s fourth full-time, paid Executive Director in 1979 than many know.”

Doc was later asked by White and Obear to be a part of the Educational Foundation.

“They always had the officers of the foundation meet during Convention, and I attended [a foundation meeting], and was elected to the board,” Doc said.

“The next year, I was elected President.”

It was as the President of the Education Foundation that Doc was able to continue his relationships with Obear and White.

“This Convention was an eye-opener for me,” Doc said.

Doc said at that time the position of the “BB” was not being emphasized by the Fraternity very much, resulting in there being very few “BB”s and even fewer at Convention.

At the 1962 Convention, Doc was asked to call a meeting of the “XX” and ended up being elected the President of the “XX.”

“Brother[s] White and Obear were both my idea of an ideal Delta Chi,” Doc said. “They were, along with Johnson, truly outstanding gentlemen and brothers.”

“Later that day, before the Convention, [the Executive Committee] adopted the new governance of the Fraternity called the Board of Regents, and they dissolved the ‘XX,’” Doc said.

In 1985, Doc resigned from his position as the “BB” of the Kansas Chapter. After 15 years in the position, he stepped aside, as his son was attending Kansas and would begin his time in Delta Chi.

“I was half-a-day president of the ‘XX,’ the last one,” Doc said. “And it was probably a good thing.”

Doc said he wouldn’t change a thing about his experiences with Delta Chi.

Following the elimination of the “XX,” the Regent system was adopted, the same one still used by the Fraternity today.

The 1962 Convention also gave Doc one of his first insights to the financial situation of the Fraternity.

This was the first Convention organized by Harold Buchanan, Wisconsin ’35, who was hired in 1961 as the Fraternity’s first full-time, paid Executive Secretary. Buchanan filled Doc in on the financial decisions made by some fraternity leaders. “[The] old-timers had tried to run things on the cheap, with all volunteer help in order to lower the cost to the undergraduates,” Doc said. When Patton was elected “CC” in 1923, he took all the Fraternity records to Iowa City, Iowa, where he was a law professor. The records were ultimately stored in an upstairs room of a building he owned in downtown Iowa City.

“Each ‘D’ had to fill out a monthly report and send it to headquarters, where accounting students, hired by Patton, went over them,” Doc said. “[Patton] would then make sure the solvency and the operation of the chapter was okay.”

Throughout his time, Doc was also able to see other

who didn’t hold prestigious titles within the Fraternity’s leadership. Doc was thrilled that the first brother to be honored was Johnson.

“Vic was a little guy from Purdue, he always hung around at Conventions, and was a nice, quiet little fellow, and he was honored by this Order of the White Carnation,” Doc said. “[It] was designed to honor him, because he had never run for anything, and didn’t yet have a chance to honor him in any other way.”

Also at the 1970 Convention, Doc unknowingly began the groundwork for the position known today as Vice Regent. It was at this Convention he first met J. Nick Gray, Missouri ’56. Gray asked Doc if he could volunteer for any job to be done. Doc had just been appointed to complete a term as Regent. In order to do the job adequately, Doc believed that he would need some help. Doc asked the Board of Regents to allow him to have a Vice Regent.

“Gray traveled over most of the territory of the region

“I was happy to be involved and happy to have been given opportunities to serve,” Doc said.

During his decades thus far under the roof of Delta Chi, Doc has served as “BB,” Regent, Vice-Regent, and President of the Educational Foundation. He is a “BB” Emeritus and a member of the Order of the White Carnation. Doc’s trip to Pittsburgh in 2012 marked his 25th Convention, the highest current attendance of any living member.

Phil Yang

New Founder Profile: Phil Yang When the Founders were creating Delta Chi in upstate New York, they did so with the belief that “great advantages are to be derived from a brotherhood of college and university men.” A century later, Phil Yang, Abracadabra ’80, is proof of the Founders’ vision played out over the course of a lifetime. Yang has been generous with both his time, even while living in Asia, and his financial resources. He became the Fraternity’s fifth New Founder less than twenty years after graduating from the University of California, Berkeley, a distinction given to brothers with donations totaling at least $100,000.

“As I have not been able to give more time, being on another continent, I have chosen to provide a measure of financial support to the Education Foundation. This is far less noble than those who have given hours upon hours so my decision was probably more driven by guilt than anything else. Also, I wanted to follow the footstep of Gene Johnson, Oklahoma State ’58, a great friend of Region II, of my chapter, as he lived in near-by Stockton, and of mine.”

Yang said. “Trite as it may sound, I have received much from my Delta Chi experience, it only seems fitting to say thanks in this way. I am humbled by those who balance family and career demands as well as that of the Fraternity.”

In looking at his life in Delta Chi, Yang views his journey in three stages, analogous with banking. In the first stage – making deposits – time invested as chapter officer and alumni advisor are like deposits. The second stage – interest accrual – brotherhood continues to expand and deepen. The third stage – annuity payments – friendships forged over the past 35 years are continuously being enjoyed.

“In retirement now, I am reconnecting with those from my chapter over ten years of membership and alumni involvement to 1990, the year I moved to Asia,” Phil said. The short period as alumni advisor

DELTA CHI QUARTERLY

The lengthy association also gave Yang the opportunity to extend beyond his own chapter, attending regional conferences and international conventions, which he has notched more than a dozen. Through job assignments away from Berkeley, he fondly recalls those in the Minnesota Chapter, the short-lived San Francisco Colony and the Connecticut Chapter. “As those groups welcomed me, I want to tip my hat to brothers from others chapters who spent time advising my own chapter, namely Paul Picciani, Connecticut ’89 and Rod Batongbacal, Hayward ’00. I am glad they also found advisory work fulfilling, though sometimes frustrating.”

Phil Yang

Many might wonder the origin of Abracadabra, as it is the first one off the list of chapters and only one not bearing a college name.

During the early 1960s the Abracadabra Fraternity local, whose alumni included Robert Gordon Sproul of Berkeley’s famed Sproul Plaza and Sproul Hall, merged with the California Chapter of Delta Chi; hence, two proud traditions became one.

was particularly rewarding as Phil remembers that they had excellent undergraduate members in the 1980’s. In a recent trip to California, Phil reconnected with Walt Brown, Cal Walters, Chris Hornbeck, Herb Venegas, and renewed email contact with Rob Main, Bob, Nevin, Steve Westberg, Matt Wertheim, and Dave Roberts. “Of course, I am in touch with many in my era, the ‘founding fathers’ of 1978, not to mention others through Facebook and LinkedIn.”

Recalling a rich and rewarding Delta Chi experience, Yang’s only regret was not having had the Leadership Consultant experience.

“Ray Galbreth asked me to apply in 1980 but I opted to go directly to graduate school, knowing that if I had too much fun, flunking grad school afterwards was a real possibility. The Leadership Consultant role would have provided many life-enriching experiences and character building opportunities.”

Yang further commented, “Corporations place a premium on leadership development and reward those who later serve as mentors to young managers. The fraternity model, by design or not, has an inbuilt mechanism to do just that. The inclination to be an advisor may come at any stage. In some ways, it is like a religious experience, some have it and others do not. But, if it feels right, just ‘answer the calling’. For many, once the work and life balance is achieved and career is near auto-pilot, taking your skill set to the undergraduates is a win-win. I personally believe brothers in their mid 30s and beyond are most able to lend a helping hand. While many have involved themselves much earlier, I would just caution against burn out, so pace yourself and let your Delta Chi experience Written by: Aaron Otto “DD”, Kansas State ’98 be a sustained one!”

The Capital Area Alumni Chapter joined Jim LeVan, Johnstown ’80, for the 92nd running of the Middleburg Spring Races on Saturday, April 20, 2013. This was Brother LeVan’s 14th consecutive year attending the Races, held in Virginia’s beautiful Hunt Country. Joining him and his wife, Mary Beth, were Brothers Marc Steimer, Johnstown ’78, and wife Aimee; Dan Verner, Johnstown ’81, and wife Jane; Pat Bowling, Johnstown ’81; Brian Tressler, Johnstown ’81; and Vinnie DiCamillo, Duquesne ’95. The group assembled at our reserved, rail side picnic area and enjoyed good food, cheer, and conversation as the galloping thoroughbreds thundered past us only a few feet away! Our reserved area put us close enough to smell the sweat as jockeys drove their mounts to the finish line, which added a sense of excitement to our great afternoon together. Kudos to Marc and Aimee Steimer from driving the farthest to attend! They drove in from Cincinnati, OH. It was a sunny day - great for reuniting with old friends, making new ones, tailgating and betting on the horses.

Mark your calendars: fall races will be held Saturday, October 5th, and next spring’s race will be on April 19, 2014. (Reported by “A” Vinnie DiCamillo, Duquesne ’95)

How can we improve the experience of being a member of Delta Chi? What would it take for our chapter to truly be outstanding? Where should we look to begin?

performance, Delta Chi is promoting a common language for fraternity operations, which we call our ‘core competencies.’ If you examine ‘fraternity’ as a whole, it is apparent that there are eight core areas of fraternity operations that are essential to the success of any chapter/colony.

fraternal action that achieve an intended outcome.

This model will allow our organization to better assist our chapters through analyzing data to connect both holistic programming and specific resources to our members’ needs.

When one examines the many functions within a fraternity chapter, one quickly learns that, often, many parts of ‘fraternity’ are interconnected. For instance, when one seeks to improve recruitment results, one quickly realizes that retention plays a key role in the overall effectiveness of recruitment.

That is, if one only focuses on recruitment, the Chapter will not realize full potential due to a lack of equal attention to issues concerning member retention. To gain a clear understanding of chapter

Core Competencies The core competency model promotes the eight core functions of a successful chapter within which all aspects of chapter operations fall.

By design, the core competency model illustrates that fraternal issues are often interconnected.

Because being “successful” doesn’t just mean mastering one event or function of fraternity, this model views “success” as the collective efforts of

The ADVISING & GOVERNANCE core competency promotes setting a solid foundation of procedures to ensure organizational sustainability. Governance serves as the framework for an effective, efficient values-based organization, while proper advising enables consistency and incremental growth.

The ALUMNI RELATIONS core competency promotes the development of a life-long member experience, which is enhanced through meaningful communication with alumni members and regular events and gatherings.

he FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT core competency promotes sound T financial practices and policies within a chapter/colony and its membership. Through the implementation of financial best practices, members can develop sound financial habits for life.

Strong financial management, while crucial to success, fades into the background as it enables other programming areas to truly shine.

The HOUSING core competency promotes maintaining an attractive and competitive living environment. Proper maintenance, attention to safety and cleanliness, and the function of the House Corporation are all instrumental to the success of a chapter’s housing initiatives.

The INVOLVEMENT core competency promotes relevance through activities on campus and in the community. Great involvement is composed of a variety of activities and programs, including campus organizations, philanthropic contributions, community service initiatives, intramural participation, and more.

The MANPOWER core competency promotes strength through a balance of recruitment and retention of members. A greater manpower gives a chapter more resources to achieve its goals.

The MEMBER EDUCATION core competency promotes total member education. Member education initiatives include aspects of the new member program, leadership programming, and other programs throughout a member’s undergraduate experience.

The SCHOLARSHIP core competency promotes the “acquisition of a sound education.” Scholarship success is built on events and programming, sound membership standards, and goals.

We will promote the core competencies as a way for our chapters and colonies to build consistent, purposeful action leading to an improved fraternity experience over time. Our Chapter/Colony visitation reports have been updated to reflect this new approach. Colonies will now petition for chartering by showing their work in each of the eight areas. Our Awards & Recognition program also utilizes these core competencies to promote and recognize success.

DELTA CHI QUARTERLY

Valor Award

This award recognizes special acts of heroism on the part of any member of Delta Chi who puts his own life in peril. To qualify for this award, an individual must have rendered heroic service, well documented, above and beyond simply membership in the Armed Services of his country, where his actions place his own life in peril or potential peril while attempting to save the life of another. Both undergraduate and alumni are eligible for the Valor Award.

BRIAN MCINTOSH, Iowa State ’04 Right after Brian was initiated at the Iowa State colony in 2005 he was deployed to Iraq with the USMC. While in Iraq a truck that he was in was hit from enemy artillery. Brother McIntosh pulled the driver out as the truck exploded receiving wounds from shrapnel. He was awarded the Purple Heart.

MATTHEW AGUILAR, Sacramento ’88 At approximately 6:20 pm on 07/01/1994, Officer Aguilar was completing a traffic stop when he was alerted by another motorist of a possible intoxicated driver passing his location. Officer Aguilar quickly responded and overtook the suspected intoxicated motorist. Before an enforcement stop could be initiated, the errant driver drifted off the right side of the roadway and traveled down a very steep eighty-foot embankment. Officer Aguilar stopped on the shoulder, looked over the edge, and observed smoke pouring from the vehicle. After quickly evaluating the scene, Officer Aguilar selected a safe approach route and began to make his way to the vehicle. Upon arrival, Officer Aguilar noted that the driver was still inside and not moving. Flames were visible in the engine compartment and were quickly moving into the passenger area. Fearing for the unconscious driver’s safety, Officer Aguilar entered the vehicle and began pulling him from the wreckage. Aided by a bystander, Officer Aguilar was successful in removing the gas-soaked driver from the vehicle moments before it became fully engulfed in flames. The fire spread quickly, igniting the surrounding grass and brush. Sensing that they were still in danger, Officer Aguilar led the group up the steep hill to safety. The fire continued to burn approximately five acres before it was contained by fire personnel.

Awards & Recognition Meritorious Service Award This award is given to an alumnus who makes significant contributions to Delta Chi as a “BB”, ABT member, House Corporation member, general Fraternity committee member, Regent, Vice-Regent, or staff member.

FIPG, INC.

Reaffirmed ’13

RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY

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 and Drugs

Hazing

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.

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.”

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.

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 nonalcoholic. 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.

This includes but is not limited to activities associated with “bid night,” “big brother-little brother” events or activities, / ”big sister-little sister” events or activities, “family” events or activities and initiation.

24

DELTA CHI QUARTERLY

Sexual Abuse and Harassment 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, activities or events, whether on chapter premises or off-site location which are demeaning to women or men, including but not limited to verbal harassment, sexual assault by individuals or members acting together. The employment or use of strippers, exotic dancers or similar, whether professional or amateur, at a fraternity event as defined in this policy is prohibited.

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 or incendiary 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.

Chapter Situations Third Party Vendor Criteria (continued)

Corrective Action Levels

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.

What follows is a list of chapters that are on Corrective Action for violation of the Risk Management Policy as of October 28, 2012.

That is not to say the chapters on the following list are “bad” chapters. Likewise, it is unrealistic to assume Chapters on Corrective that chapters that are Action for Violation of the not on this list are Risk Management Policy complying with every policy. The bottom As of November 6, 2013 line of this issue is Chapter Level Violation that members of the Abracadabra I Alcohol Fraternity are engaging Arizona IV Alcohol/Hazing in dangerous activities Binghamton III Hazing and taking unnecessary Clemson III Hazing risks with their future Coastal Carolina V Hazing and the future of Delta Cortland II Alcohol Chi because they Georgia Southern II Hazing believe this will help Hayward I Hazing fill voids where their Indiana IV Alcohol/Hazing needs are not being Kennesaw III Hazing met. Whatever the case, LSU II Hazing the solution remains Northwest Missouri III Alcohol the same. Each and Penn State III Hazing every chapter needs the Purdue I Alcohol involvement of mature Whitewater I Alcohol 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.

3. 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.”

4. 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.

5. Agree in writing to cash sales only, collected by the vendor during the function.

6. 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 that 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.

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, who 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.

Re-establishment of the Chapter shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Board of Regents after a minimum one-year period.

UniLOA Report

SHOWS DELTA CHI STUDENTS IMPROVE IN CITIZENSHIP

ITEM 5: I spend time researching candidates before I vote. For example, I will read some independent sources about more than one presidential candidate before making up my mind.

ITEM 12: I am serious about voting. For example, I actively access the media to learn about and to address questions about a candidate’s platform, beliefs, and values.

ITEM 19: I am informed of current events. For example, I regularly read, listen, or watch various media to remain current in my knowledge of local, regional, national, and international events.

ITEM 26: I vote. For example, I am registered and vote in campus, local, state, and national elections.

ITEM 33: I know about current issues within the community. For example, I know what the hot political and social issues are in my town.

ITEM 40: I contribute financially to causes I believe in.

For example, I make financial donations to charities, organizations, and causes.

ITEM 47: I can identify good political leaders. For example, I am able to report to others the values, voting records, platform and political philosophy held by political leaders and understand how these compliment or contrast to those of the community.

ITEM 54: I engage in the political process through voicing viewpoints. For example, I write letters to the editor, engage in debate with others, or contact political leaders to voice my opinion.

ITEM 61: I empower those around me. For example, I actively seek the opinions of others and assess them in contrast to my own and am able to withhold judgment of the other person.

Since 2010, Delta Chi has been tracking the impact it has on its student members through participation in the University Learning Outcomes Assessment (UniLOA) project. UniLOA tracks the development of student members, in aggregate and by chapter, in seven key areas: critical thinking, self-awareness, communication, diversity, citizenship, leadership, and relationships. Participants score themselves in response to statements designed to gauge their breadth and depth within each learning outcome. Since UniLOA is also administered by many universities and Greek organizations, Delta Chi is able to see how its student membership compares to other Greeks and other non-Greek college students in these seven learning outcomes.

Early on, Delta Chi Staff recognized an opportunity for improvement within the citizenship learning outcome. It was particularly concerning that, leading up to a major election year, Delta Chi students scored particularly lower than average on statements such

as “I vote” and “I know about current issues within the community.” In his final “In The Bond” message in the Quarterly, 51st “AA” R.C. Damle, Texas ’01, drove home a deep connection to many. He wrote, “Delta Chi itself can trace its origins to the result of an election and the desire to make a difference.

Citizenship is not limited to federal, state, or county issues; it extends to our obligations as a part of any society.”

Through a focus from Delta Chi’s leadership, the work of Leadership Consultants during chapter visits, and programming at Regional Leadership Conferences, it was not surprising to see that Delta Chi’s scores in several of the citizenship responses improved, either in average score or in position relative to other Greeks and non-Greeks (see chart). Delta Chi looks forward to seeing more data-based evidence that the fraternal experience really does help its members grow far beyond other organizations and college experiences.

Wanted: An Honest Conversation About Alcohol Consumption This fall, Delta Chi is embarking on a new educational initiative unlike any other in the past.

Dr. Alan Marlatt Dr. Jason Kilmer Structured to be an open discussion, interactive forum, the Alcohol Skills Training Program (ASTP) is a non-judgmental, non-confrontational program for those who choose to drink and also those who don’t. As abstinence-only education in other topics generally fails to widely influence behavior change, ASTP seeks to approach risk management on a deeper, more personal level. By reducing the risks associated with drinking through open, honest conversations and a focus on safety, Delta Chi strongly feels its members and its chapters will benefit greatly.

The curriculum and content for ASTP was originally developed by Dr. Alan Marlatt and Dr. Jason Kilmer at the University of Washington. Numerous other fraternal 26

DELTA CHI QUARTERLY

organizations have already seen positive results from utilizing ASTP with their student members. Leadership Consultants will first unveil this new program during chapter visits this fall. Then, attendees at Delta Chi’s nine Regional Leadership Conferences, held each spring, will have an opportunity to participate in the program.

Delta Chi is also currently looking for volunteers to assist in facilitating an ASTP program as requested by our chapters. Volunteers can be just about anyone with a passion for facilitation - ABT members, faculty, community members, and general alumni. Volunteers will commit one weekend every three years for training and four to six weekends each year facilitating the program on campuses nearby. If you’re interested in learning more about the program or you’d like to express interest in becoming a volunteer, please contact Kevin Madden, Director of Risk Management, at 319-341-3134 or kevinm@deltachihq.org.
