Pittsburgh was the site of the 58th biennial Delta Chi Convention: what a fantastic city and a fantastic time. Were you there? Did you take part in the festivities? Pittsburgh was my tenth convention. Sadly I have missed four, but I don’t plan to miss another one. The Convention is a special time, regardless of where it is held. We get together with 500+ Delta Chi brothers, and it is an experience like no other. The first timer, he finds out that Delta Chi is bigger than his chapter or colony, much bigger. For the veteran, it is an opportunity to catch up with brothers, reminisce and meet new brothers, and make new friends. This Convention was very special to me, as you elected me as your 52nd “AA”. I can’t think of a higher honor than to serve in this capacity. I have so much respect for the office of “AA” and the men who have served in it before me. Patrick Phelan, Embry-Riddle ’72 and OWC, came to me one evening and issued me a challenge. He challenged me to be the best leader I could, to always have the best for Delta Chi in my heart and to lead by example. I told him I would earn my badge every single day. I would like to extend to you the same challenge. Be a Delta Chi 24-7-365. Be the brother we want everyone else to be. Live the values we preach, especially when you are not wearing your letters.

Be that Delta Chi all the time. Earn your badge every single day. As I said in my banquet speech, “Individually, you, I, are only single voices of Delta Chi. Together we are many hundreds and thousands of voices. Together we can be very loud. Together we can be very positive. Together we can make our Founders proud of the Fraternity they founded and the men that we have become, because of this Fraternity.” We must look outside of ourselves, our chapters and our colonies. We must look to our campuses and communities. How can I, you, make a difference? By working together with the campus and community, we can make a difference for others. Volunteer your time. Give to those in need. Say thank you when appropriate. To help us better our campuses and communities, an International Service Committee for Delta Chi has been formed, and its charge is to develop ideas and activities that will benefit our campuses, communities and more, through involvement of Delta Chi brothers. I hope that all brothers, undergraduate and alumni, will look at these ideas and offer to participate with enthusiasm. If you have ideas you would like to share, please email them to me at AA@deltachi.org. I will be sure to forward them on to the committee for review. Together, we can make a difference in the communities in which we live and on the campuses on which we are represented. Together we can impact many lives for the better. Together we can help others in need. Together, we continue to raise monies for the V Foundation. At this Convention, R. C. Damle presented Nick Valvano a check for $200,000 for cancer research. One brother didn’t raise this money, nor did one chapter or colony. We raised this money together for a great cause. Wouldn’t it be amazing if one of the scientists who receives our grant is the person who discovers the cure for cancer? Our new goal for this biennium is $250,000 for the V Foundation. Together we can raise this money and more. Together we can make a difference in the world around us. In the bond,

“Justin brings nearly five years of solid fraternity management experience to the position,” says Miles Washburn, the International President (“AA”) of Delta Chi. “We are thrilled that when we looked at a number of solid candidates, the one who rose to the fore was already on our staff and involved in the operation. We are confident in his ability to run the staff operation and further the mission and values of The Delta Chi Fraternity.” Sherman replaces Ray Galbreth who is retiring after nearly 34 years at the helm of the organization. “You don’t replace a Ray Galbreth,” Washburn said. “You find the best candidate, and you rally around that person as a Board of Regents, staff, and volunteers to help Delta Chi continue to succeed and thrive. We will forever be in Ray’s debt for the service he has provided.”

Cover Story

The 58th International Convention, held at the Sheraton Station Square Hotel from August 1-5, 2012, was attended by more than 276 undergraduate student members, as well as 257 alumni and guests from around the world. Home to two Delta Chi Chapters, one at the University of Pittsburgh and another right across the bridge - Duquesne University, Pittsburgh welcomed a total of 533 Convention attendees for four days of brotherhood, business, and personal growth. In case you missed this summer’s largest gathering of Delta Chi brothers, perhaps you’ll be persuaded to make plans to attend 2014’s Convention in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The 58th International Convention Wednesday August 1st Convention Kickoff All Convention attendees and guests gathered in the Sheraton Station Square’s Ballroom for the Convention Kickoff and Awards Show. Greeted at the door by staff handing out Delta Chi’s own “Rally Towel,” attendees saw the presentation of the Board of Regents, chapter and colony award winners (see pages 12-17 for a complete list), and a check presentation for the Fraternity’s two years of fundraising to benefit the V Foundation. Nick Valvano was in attendance to receive our check for $200,000, which represents the collective effort of over two-thirds of our chapters and colonies.

Thursday August 2nd

The original, and still primary, reason Delta Chi hosts every chapter and colony for a Convention each biennium is to discuss and decide on matters of Fraternity business. At each Convention, delegates from all chapters, colonies, and alumni chapters have the responsibility of voting on behalf of their respective constituents. In Pittsburgh, delegations met Thursday to elect new brothers to Executive Committee positions, decide on matters of procedural business, and review ritualistic and ceremonial matters. Here’s a summary of what resulted from the 58th Convention’s General Sessions:

Cover Story Continued Friday August 3rd Educational Breakout Sessions On Friday, August 3, 2012, all Convention attendees were able to choose from many educational breakout sessions to attend throughout the day. Sessions included personal development topics, special interest presentations, and in depth discussions related to Delta Chi’s “Core Competencies” for fraternity operations. Also, spread out throughout the day were two keynote presentations: “Hazing on Trial” by Dave Westol, and “Creating Communities of Care” by Kim Novak.

Foundation Luncheon On Friday, brothers and guests gathered for lunch and a special presentation by the Delta Chi Educational Foundation. This luncheon was again sponsored by Brother E. Duane Meyer, Hobart ’58. Foundation President Jim Marascio, Bryant ’93, welcomed guests, explained the mission of the Educational Foundation, and thanked its many donors, with those in attendance being recognized. Don Turk, Florida ’68, received special recognition for his role in organizing an annual scholarship golf tournament (see page 29). DCEF’s Chief Development Officer Michael Martinez, Michigan State ’82, shared news of a fundraising challenge for the 2013 “A”s’ Academy, issued by Steven Michels, Marquette ’87, the Academy’s largest donor. Finally, brothers and guests learned of the Foundation’s 2011-2012 Borelli Award recipients, UIFI Scholarship recipients, and the Washburn Scholarship recipient.

Ray Galbreth Appreciation Dinner Current and former staff, current and former board members, Delta Chi volunteers, guests, and several colleagues joined in honoring Raymond D. Galbreth, Delta Chi’s Executive Director for the past 33 years at an appreciation dinner on Friday night. Over dinner, many attendees shared their fondest memories of their time with Ray, who is preparing to retire in 2013. One theme ran throughout everyone’s praise and demeanor: Delta Chi has been lucky to have his talents in Iowa City for so long, and the Fraternity will be forever grateful for his tenure. No doubt, Ray’s ideals have shaped so many individuals, young and old, that it’s likely impossible to put a worth on his true impact within this Fraternity and Greek movement.

Alumni Golf Outing Each Convention, many brothers hit the links first thing on Friday morning. This year was no exception. 24 brothers participated in foursomes for the tournament, held at the Three Lakes Golf Course in East Pittsburgh. Larry Nothnagel, Truman State ’79; Paul Picciani, Connecticut ’89; Andrew Baer, Truman State ’14; and Kyle Crane, Kansas ’14 made up the winning foursome from the event.

For me, the most impactful aspect was the Closing Banquet. That experience is what made everything come together and

Saturday August 4th Alumni Track Program The Alumni Track Program was held on Saturday, August 4, 2012. Attendees were able to attend a full day of presentations and workshops. In the morning, attendees learned about trends in higher education, social excellence, and leadership. After joining all Convention guests for the traditional “Manners Matter!” luncheon, Delta Chi alumni spent the afternoon with Dave Westol and Kim Novak, two experts in risk management, and participated in workshops on mentoring and working with today’s college student. With much on the mind, guests were able to share their thoughts, questions, ideas, and suggestions during an open forum. To wrap things up, the Alumni Ceremony was held at 5:30 P.M., where alumni guests could observe recent and soon-to-be graduates commit themselves to the lifetime brotherhood of Delta Chi.

DELTA CHI QUARTERLY

Closing Banquet Saturday’s awards banquet capped an eventful Convention. Upon singing the Canadian and United States national anthems, guests paused for an invocation led by Doc Surmacz, “FF” and Duquesne Alumnus. Surmacz encouraged guests to “use this time to reflect on how this Convention has helped us cross the bridge into the future. Let us remember the friendships we’ve made, and let us use the knowledge we’ve gained.” Brothers and guests mixed dinner with conversation in the Sheraton ballroom before the presentations drew everyone’s attention.

2012 Delta Chi of the Year

DR. WILLIAM A. MEEHAN, Jacksonville State ’72 William A. Meehan has a long-term association with Jacksonville State University that began when he enrolled as a first-time freshman in 1968. He completed his Bachelor of Science in biology in 1972 and began a career in education that same year. He earned his Master’s of Science degree in biology at Jacksonville State University in December of 1976 and returned in January 1977 to serve as an instructor in the Department of Biology.

His vision for the future is based on the philosophy that education is a utility for economic development.

This award, named after the former International President of The Delta Chi Fraternity and former President of the National Interfraternity Conference, John J. Kuhn, is presented to individuals who have contributed significantly to the Greek movement. The award, which is the most prestigious that Delta Chi offers, recognizes the accomplishments and the contributions of people within the Fraternity and Sorority world regardless of their affiliation.

PHILLIP JOSEPHSON, Alpha Gamma Rho - 2012 Phillip Josephson became a member of the Alpha Psi Chapter of Alpha Gamma Rho at the University of Wisconsin – River Falls.Upon his graduation 1972 he joined Alpha Gamma Rho staff as Assistant Executive Director.In 1975 he became Executive Director, and has served in that position since.He is the longest standing executive director in the North American Interfraternity Conference.Throughout his long tenure in the fraternal world he has served on the Board of Directors and as President of the Fraternity Executives Association.Josephson also served as the chairmen of the FEA Tradeshow for 20 years; when he stepped down as chairman the tradeshow was named in his honor.He has been the recipient of numerous awards including the NIC Gold Medal, the FEA Distinguished Service Award, and Alpha Gamma Rho’s Order of the Golden Harvest.

Convention Honoree JAMES D. PRICE, Eastern Illinois ’74 Many great men are worthy, however, few are chosen for this high honor. The Convention Honoree is bestowed upon a man who is well loved and respected by the fraternity. He has exemplified and carried out his duties as a Delta Chi throughout his entire life by living our values and being a positive role model for all. James Price was a member of the Eastern Illinois Chapter and very active in the university community, serving as student body president. Upon graduation he remained active with his chapter and served as their “BB” from 1983 to

2000. He excelled and extracted the best out of the undergraduates that ran and operated the chapter. Through his tenure they received three presidents cups and four awards of excellence, which in turn lead him to be awarded six Outstanding “BB” Awards. Even with his job as the superintendent of schools in Illinois, he was active with Delta Chi and continually participated in events, five conventions and numerous regional conferences. Jim passed away in a tragic car accident in 2000, before his contribution to Delta Chi could be truly recognized. The 2006 Convention honored him by posthumously inducting him into the Order of the White Carnation. Through and through James David Price is the epitome of what a Delta Chi should stand for: a great man, a better brother, and more importantly, a friend that we should never forget.

Strategic Plan

Delta Chi’s

STRATEGIC PLAN

Delta Chi officially commenced its strategic planning initiative on August 11-12, 2011, with the goal of impacting thousands of members for years to come. An organization doesn’t simply begin a strategic planning initiative on a whim, though. The idea actually began with Delta Chi’s 51st “AA”, R.C. Damle, Texas ’01.

During his term as “AA” and over his ten-year to-date tenure on the Board of Regents, Damle noticed a theme many of our chapters and colonies face. He recalls, “Because our leadership changes every two years at Convention, it’s hard to have a consistent approach in achieving our Fraternity’s collective goals. It’s important for the Board of Regents to think big-picture in order to move Delta Chi to another level.” So Damle, set out to create an opportunity for Delta Chi’s representative stakeholders to gather, step out of day-to-day business, and generate new momentum for both short- and long-term goals. “I pursued three different resources, because I knew that I did not want to run the meeting for the

simple reason that I wanted to be involved in the discussion.”

Damle ultimately chose a fellow Greek to assist Delta Chi. Jeff Prouty, a proud alumnus of Sigma Phi Epsilon, is the Chairman and Founder of the Pouty Project, a firm which provides organizational development, board development and strategic planning services. Prouty brought an additional area of expertise to the table as a lead facilitator: he also served on Sigma Phi Epsilon’s Board of Directors in the past. Damle adds, “I had a vision of where we needed to go, and I connected with Jeff’s energy.” In order to “stack the deck” in Delta Chi’s favor, Damle extended invitations to all Board of Regents members and key IHQ staff, Educational Foundation, Law Committee, Housing Fund, and support alumni members. By assembling the right team of individuals, Damle’s hope was that the group would emerge with a series of initiatives, with both long- and short-term goals, that could be refined and logistically planned during the following year. Recalling the time spent in Iowa City, Damle noted, “The most surprising thing to come out of the session was, at times, how divided we were on several

Strategic Plan

issues. It was almost like a two-party political system, where both sides want what’s best for our members but each has different views on what we should do.” Indeed, “fraternity” is rarely black and white. Ultimately, five initiatives were selected: Housing, Leadership, Education, Service, and Lifelong Experience. For each, the group designated a “Champion,”someone who either had an expertise or passion for the initiative, to assemble a committee and begin proposing action plans for adoption. Over the next twelve months, these committees met for countless hours to develop ways to specifically advance our organization through concentrated efforts in these five areas. The result of these meetings is a mix of programming, staff-led initiatives, and changes in Delta Chi Law to take place in stages over the next several years. Looking forward, Damle shares his excitement: “I am thrilled about where we can go in the Service and Education initiatives. These are areas that are often overlooked. If Delta Chi does not actively encourage our members to improve their academic achievement, then we’ve failed to assist in the acquisition of a sound education. If we don’t instill the need to give back to one’s community, then we’ve failed to develop character. I’m confident that we will not fail.”

GOAL: Instill the value of giving back (campus, community, globally)

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 aspectsof 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.

Excellence Distinction

Achievement Distinction

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.

J. DONALD TURK, Florida ’68

Robert Snyder is a man on a mission. Last summer he went to Tanzania to volunteer in an orphanage teaching English, Math, Science, and Geography in class all while leading team building exercises during breaks. In addition to this, he has begun construction on a new school called the Green Hope Orphanage.

As if Robert wasn’t already demonstrating his commitment to East African success, he is spending a month and a half doing research in Kenya and Uganda in their postcolonial eras with special emphasis on policies used to assimilate tribes under one national culture. Robert is hoping that he can help the process of constructing a functional, cohesive nation; especially in South Sudan.

Donald Turk divides his time between many philanthropic contributions in addition to active involvement in the Florida Chapter. His civic contributions are many. A few notable involvements are serving as the Chairman of the Communications Committee for the Polk County Chapter of the American Heart Association, the Board of Directors of the Central Florida Speech and Hearing Center, and serving on the Council on Conservation and the Environment for the state of Florida.

2011-2012 Award Winners Outstanding Chapter Program

This award recognizes the exceptional programming created and implemented by our undergraduate chapters, colonies, and alumni chapters. A “program” can be any singular event or series of events planned by the chapter/colony, such as an alumni event, community service initiative, leadership program, new member education event, or scholarship program.

Fredonia Chapter Career Development Seminar The Fredonia Chapter hosted a Career Development Seminar for the University community. The program included topics such as resume writing, goal setting, and becoming marketable. Participants broke out into small groups by class year and discussed career planning for their specific needs.

Illinois State Chapter Alumni Speaker Series The Illinois State Chapter hosted a series of presentations, given by alumni, on topics not typically handled in a classroom. These presentations helped better prepare members for life in society. Topics during the previous academic year included financial management, professional etiquette, and time management. Brothers work with alumni from the Chapter to schedule one presentation each month. The members note that the program has not only helped them, but it’s also helped with giving another chance for their alumni to give back.

A TRADITION

of Leadership

Many chapters find success through a mixture of having right people in the right places, luck, and opportunity. If one examines fraternal trends over time (or at least looks at the composites lining the walls), one is likely to see periods of expansion, contraction, struggle, and triumph. Sometimes, one can even tell the health of a chapter by the faces of the members in their composite photos. A look at Delta Chi’s history shows some chapters that have existed for over 100 years continuously, while others have withered away despite best efforts to revive the brotherhood. While the South Dakota State Chapter has only but a decade behind them to look back on, they possess many elements, which when combined, tend to breed success, organizational sustainability, and an exceptional member experience. This is likely why when one peeks at the “Resume” link on their website, they need to continue scrolling to see the impressive list of Students’ Association leaders, other campus leaders, and chapter awards accumulated throughout their short history. If the brothers are able to maintain Zeno’s position of “This is who we are,” they’ll have a better chance at avoiding an organizational identity crisis, or another severe deviation from their current path. It’s no doubt that brothers are attracted to join and stay active brothers in the Chapter because of the positive organizational culture that cultivates and encourages members to improve themselves, rather than forcing new members into a “mold.” During a sample week, brothers had planned events ranging from a leadership talk with an IBM executive to a brotherhood 20-piece nugget eating contest. With a diverse group of individuals working toward common goals, the South Dakota State Chapter is proof of fraternity “done right.” Written by: Mick Dean, Truman State ’08. Mick is the current Assistant Editor for the “Quarterly”. He served four years on Delta Chi’s Headquarters staff, as a Leadership Consultant and Director of Educational Programming. Mick met with members of the South Dakota State Chapter in the Spring 2012 semester to create this story.

DELTA CHI QUARTERLY

South Dakota State

Mark

YORK

South Dakota State ’12

Brother York is a Mathematics major from Lake Wilson, MN. He is known on campus for his time spent as the Students’ Association (SA) President, 2011 − 2012. He’s also known by many Delta Chis as being one of the South Dakota State brothers who canoed “for a cure”, from Brookings to New Orleans, for the 2010 Convention. The Quarterly had the opportunity to sit down with Mark and find out more about what makes him tick. His insights are inspiring for all Delta Chis.

How did you join Delta Chi? Members of another fraternity had tried to recruit me, but I wasn’t interested at the time. At the beginning of my sophomore year, I wanted a little bit more out of my college experience. I knew some brothers from Delta Chi, and they spent two semesters convincing me to join.

What motivated you to make the leap from Delta Chi to Student Association? Once I joined Delta Chi, brothers who were involved with the SA encouraged me to get involved. Though, it was kind of osmosis. It wasn’t brothers saying “Mark, we need you to run for Student Association.” A number of brothers were interested in it, and they’d talk about it passionately when I was hanging out with them. As I learned more about it, I saw what the past leaders went on to do with their careers. That made me think, “Wow, what an organization!” One of the brothers was running for President, and I knew he needed a Vice President. We lost by 51 votes, but it was an amazing learning experience. That’s how it all started. Then, I ran for At-Large and managed to “get in” that way.

What did you want to accomplish with your time in the SA? How did it go? My goal was to: 1) work to expand the WellnessCenter on campus; 2) add bicycle lanes in Brookings, SD; 3) kick-start a “good samaritan” alcohol policy; and 4) improve communication between the Student Association and general student body.

What did you learn from your year as President? It doesn’t matter if you’re right unless you can convince people you’re right. This was tough for me, as I’m a math major. In mathematics, there’s generally one answer. 5+5=10. When you know the answer, that’s it. However, working with people is so much different. I also learned so much about how a university, city council, state legislature, and board of regents operated. I know that the takeaways from

those experiences would help anyone, no matter where they end up. I also learned that preparation is key. Bike lanes had perpetually been denied in the past. When preparing to face this issue again, we laid out the six pieces of data we knew we’d need to present, divvied up each task, collected the data, prepared for the meeting, and lobbied ahead of time. The motion passed 7 − 0.

Looking back at the past year, what’s the “takeaway”? Intergenerational equity - The people who lobbied to get the Student Union build and those who paid the student fees to fund it never were able to enjoy the finished product. We, the students today, get to enjoy it. Similarly, if we succeed with the Wellness Center project, I’ll be gone before I can enjoy it. However, future generations will get to enjoy it, and who knows what they’ll be motivated to go after? It’s an honor to be a part in that, and I think it’s an example of a larger metaphor in life.

Why is involvement so critical to the college experience? There are 14.4 million students in undergraduate programs in the United States (April 2012). Graduating is an accomplishment, but there are inevitably so many other people with degrees entering the work force every year. So, what can you do to stand out? I think that doing things like s tudent government, forensics, band, or taking a leadership role in an organization can give you the experiences and skills necessary to do more “good” later on. If there’s an amazing opportunity that would be impossible to be a part of without help from student loans, you have to think about how you’ll earn that back in the future. It’s not always about what you’re making at a job right now, but what you’re learning for the future. Ultimately, college is a time where you’re investing in yourself. You want to maximize your opportunities while you’re there. Everything you do should add value so that, in the future, you can give back as much as you can to your community. Zeno calls this the “résumé driven student experience.

What does fraternity mean to you? I think the idea is that we want to be a group of guys with similar goals so that, through association, we can better one another. Anytime you have a group of people spending so much time together, they’re going to rub off on one another. “Fraternity” is a powerful tool, and it can be a force, for either good or bad. A well-run fraternity can be a huge force for good. Take our canoe trip to New Orleans for Convention in 2010. Could I have done that without Delta Chi? Yes, the rivers are just public waterways. But would I have? C’mon, there’s a real good chance I wouldn’t have.

How does having “the right group of people” impact one’s experience in a fraternity or any organization? I believe that if you do worthwhile things with quality people, that will attract quality leadership. On the other hand, if you don’t do much of consequence, qualified people are going to look at that and say, “Well, maybe there is a better way I could be spending my time.”

What ultimately motivates you? We’re so fortunate - we’ve been given so much. Jim Johnson, our Student Association Advisor for 18 years has a fitting saying. His father, who raised Jim on a ranch, told him, “If you see a turtle on a fence post, you know it didn’t get there by itself.” I think that saying is true for the SA, Delta Chi, and my family. There isn’t any one of us that entirely made anything. We build on what was done before us. I feel like it’s my duty to pay that forward and give what I can to future generations.

Anthony

SUTTON

South Dakota State ’12

Zeno

WICKS

Founding Faculty Advisor

It would be unfair to ignore the other side of Mark York’s coin. Anthony Sutton, South Dakota State ’12, flipped a challenge coin with Mark York to decide who would run for President and Vice President in their ticket for the Students’ Association (SA) elections in 2011.

Zeno Wicks, a now-retired professor at South Dakota State University, was a major reason Delta Chi began and flourished on campus. Zeno, himself a Sigma Nu, was looking to begin an organization on campus to focus on better understanding the world, particularly its cultural aspects.

“We knew we were the best candidates for the job,” recalled Sutton. And over dinner, Sutton and York let fate choose titles, as they knew their bond would assist them in working together if elected.

On building an organization from the ground up, Zeno commented, “A fraternity has to be dynamic. You put things in place that says, ‘This is who we are.’ We want a series of people to go through a particular model of who we are. By establishing a set of core founding ideas, people are attracted to Delta Chi because they can always count on our three elements - leadership, personal development, and world travel. Therefore, we cannot expect everybody to reinvent the Fraternity every year - to have it be what they want it to be.”

Sutton finished his term as Vice President of the SA and currently serves as “A” for the South Dakota State Chapter. Knowing that his work with Mark in the SA will continue on past his tenure, he now views the duties of “A” as the ultimate challenge. The Quarterly asked him why being “A” for his brothers is so special. He had the following to say. First, one must recognize that the Students’ Association and Delta Chi are vastly different organizations. Student government is hierarchical. Information and decisions trickle down. Delta Chi, however, does not work this way. Instead, our Fraternity is consensus-led. While executive board and committee chairman positions exist to cover the day-to-day operations of the organization, the power within Delta Chi rests with the membership. So, whereas a 17-15 vote in student government might represent a ruling majority, and therefore action, a fraternity cannot move forward on major decisions unless all members believe in the issue. Second, I know that our members joined Delta Chi for different personal reasons. It’s my job as “A” to make sure Delta Chi is providing a valuable and worthwhile experience, as every brother is a stakeholder in the brotherhood. Whereas, goals and personal objectives are generally clear to see within elected student government figures, our Fraternity’s goals translated into impactful experiences mean something unique to each brother. Third, I find it to be a personal challenge to serve and give back to the organization that has given me so much. I owe the entirety of my involvement with the SA to Delta Chi. Michael Kendall, South Dakota State ’09, was my first signature on my petition to run for the SA, and I owe my success in obtaining an At-Large position to the support of my brothers. As “A”, it is my responsibility not only to reflect the values on which Delta Chi was founded, but also find opportunities to inspire and challenge our younger members to do great things.

DELTA CHI QUARTERLY

Building an organization with a lasting set of founding principles is something that fraternities, and even the largest Fortune 500 companies, can struggle with. As years pass from the initial spark that triggered a unique existence, both internal and external pressures can challenge the core of the organization. As an advisor, Zeno was hands on when needed, and an observer when prudent. Brothers benefitted every year from experiences gained during trips to Africa he organized and led. Zeno’s contacts also assisted the brothers in establishing an annual dinner attended by the University President, several mayors, and even a state senator. Though, Mark notes, “He didn’t control where we went with [the Fraternity], but he’d steer us in the right direction. He’d always remind us that it’s about making each other better.” Zeno noted that he wasn’t afraid to make sure Delta Chi stayed the course. Sometimes he had to step in and remind the growing group, “This is who we are.” With his retirement, Zeno stepped back as the Chapter’s advisor, but still treats many brothers to lunch or coffee for his well known “one-on-ones.” Many brothers, both students and alumni, can still quote many of the words of wisdom he’d share over lunch or at a chapter meeting. For Sutton, it was “I’m not busy. My day is full.” For Mark, it was Zeno calling him after losing the SA election by 51 votes. He said, “Mark, I want you to know that this is just the beginning. Just because you fall once doesn’t mean you’re done. Pick yourself back up and you’ll do great things.” Zeno’s true impact within the South Dakota State Chapter may be impossible to tangibly measure, but every brother today understands Zeno’s belief that Delta Chi should not be about what it can do for you, but what you can offer it.

Leadership Consultants

2011 - 2012 LEADERSHIP CONSULTANTS A Retrospective

Cameron Barnett

Brett Herring

Glen Buickerood

Dan Dean

Jeff Melando

Whether you call them Leadership Consultants, Field Secretaries, or Traveling Secretaries, the Fieldmen of Delta Chi have been invaluable to the Fraternity since the position’s inception. These men travel the U.S. and Canada visiting the many chapters and colonies of Delta Chi. They spend countless hours educating, recruiting, and addressing the needs of our Fraternity. They live on the road, in hotels, in motels, and on chapter room couches. They endure innumerable hardships in order to serve our Fraternity.

Who are the “guys from Nationals”? Before delving into all that these men do for Delta Chi, one might wonder who they are, where they come from, and what has created a desire to answer the call and serve. In recent years it is typical for the fraternity to employ between four and six Leadership Consultants. During the 2011-2012 academic year, Delta Chi had six Leadership Consultants traveling the U.S. and Canada: Daniel Dean, Florida ’11; Cameron Barnett, Duquesne ’11; Jeff Melando, Wilmington ’11; Brett Herring, Florida ’11; Michael Marino, George Mason ’11; and, starting in January 2012, Glen Buickerood, Appalachian State ’11. Of these men, only Glen remains “on the road” full-time. Brett and Michael currently serve Delta Chi as Directors in Iowa City, and Jeff, Daniel, and Cameron completed their service in April 2012. With memories of their work and travels still fresh, we asked them to reflect back on their year spent traversing North America in the name of bettering our beloved fraternity.

Why serve? What makes a Leadership Consultant? Most men whose interest is piqued by this job have at least a vague idea of the hardships it will

Michael Marino

entail, and yet they still apply. Not surprisingly, one can attribute this in part to a great undergraduate experience and holding positions within the chapter. Daniel Dean illustrates exactly how undergraduate leadership can open one’s eyes to the bigger picture: “I was interested in the position because of my involvement during my undergraduate experience. I felt like I was able to see the direct impact I had on my chapter and its growth throughout the years. I wanted to take this and apply it on a larger scale.” Insight into chapter operations and what can go right or wrong can lead people to similar conclusions. Michael Marino experienced similar growth and came to the same mindset: “I applied because I know that when fraternity is done right, it can be an incredible opportunity for young men. Oftentimes our chapters are not doing fraternity right, and I wanted to help provide a positive Delta Chi experience for our members.” There are brothers who are having great experiences, have a passion for all things red and buff, and want to help their brothers have the same excellent experience. These men, like Michael, want all brothers to have the opportunity to get the most out of their fraternal experience. These leaders seek to share their knowledge and their passion to help our student members make the

Fraternity what it is today. Cameron explains quite well exactly what Delta Chi looks for in potential Leadership Consultants: “Delta Chi is something I am very passionate about, and I wanted the opportunity to share my experience, knowledge and leadership advice with others in the larger family of Delta Chi.” The benefits of the position extend beyond a paycheck, as well. Cameron and Daniel put it in very plain terms. “Being able to travel to new places and different schools was a major draw for me,” said Cameron. “My hope was to use this opportunity as an educational experience for myself while traveling the country and networking,” said Daniel.

Looking back, reality exceeded expectations. These men all had some idea of what to expect going in. Having finished their service as Leadership Consultants, they have each learned a great deal. It is interesting to note how their experiences differed from their initial perceptions. Daniel spoke of a perceived “ease” things would entail: “I thought I would only be visiting Chapters and assisting them with their operations. I imagined that the job would not be too difficult.” When asked the same question, Cameron talked about how he imagined undergraduates would receive him. “My initial perceptions were that as a Leadership Consultant, most chapters would dread my arrival and be highly apprehensive about meeting with me.” Not surprisingly, “As it turns out, most members of our fraternity are unaware of the role and purpose of a Leadership Consultant.” This lack of understanding can make it easy to understand why many undergraduates might fear

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 October 4, 2012 line of this issue is Chapter Level Violation that members of the Appalachian State IV Hazing Fraternity are engaging Arizona IV Alcohol/Hazing in dangerous activities Behrend II Hazing and taking unnecessary Georgia Southern II Hazing risks with their future Indiana III Alcohol and the future of Delta Kennesaw III Hazing Chi because they Miami III Alcohol believe this will help Minnesota I Alcohol fill voids where their Northwest Missouri II Alcohol needs are not being Northwestern I Alcohol met. Whatever the case, South Florida II Alcohol the solution remains Valdosta III Alcohol/Hazing the same. Each and VA Commonwealth III Alcohol every chapter needs the Washington State III Hazing 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.

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.

Iowa Celebrates 100 Years

IOWA CELEBRATES 100 YEARS Over the weekend of September 22 - 23, more than 200 brothers and friends of the Iowa Chapter celebrated a milestone previously reached by only two Delta Chi chapters – 100 years of continuous brotherhood. Sixteen law students received a charter to found the Iowa Chapter on Dec. 7, 1912. Just ten years later, the chapter notified the fraternity that to survive it needed to transition from a law fraternity to a general membership. The change was approved later that year. Living in only three chapter houses in the last 100 years, the chapter has resided at 309 N. Riverside, now 308 Ridgeland, since 1929 – a house originally built and furnished for $65,000. During the Great Depression, membership declined and financial pressures caused the Chapter to share its house with a dental fraternity. A similar situation occurred throughout much of the early 1940s during World War II. By the 1950s, membership rebounded to 50 members. Also, long-time housemother Jessie Polling began a 15-year stint of service in 1956. Rachel Trpkosh, who served as cook and later as housemother for 25 years, succeeded Polling. In 1975, a third-floor electrical fire in the sleeping dorm during spring break caused significant damage to the house. By 1985 the Chapter’s membership surpassed 100 men and the Chapter won numerous awards. Then in 2000, the Chapter experienced a significant transformation, as controversy around discontinuing hazing created tension and resulted in chapter membership dropping from more than 60 men to only nine. However, the remaining brothers did not drop the flag. Instead they teamed up with strong support alumni and rebuilt the chapter with a hazing-free experience. A 2007 capital campaign allowed fire and safety features to be added and modernized many key areas of the house. More than $425,000 was pledged

of Brotherhood

to the effort, and almost $300,000 has been invested in renovating the 83 yearold structure. Former “AA”, Delta Chi Executive Director, and current Iowa “BB” Larry Audlehelm, Iowa ’71; ABT President Dean Hoppe, Iowa ’67; and House Corporation President Bruce Walker, Iowa ’68; were honored with the O.K. Patton Lifetime Contribution Award – an award named in memory of Delta Chi’s first Executive Secretary and a fellow Iowa Chapter Founding Father. Delta Chi’s Headquarters was established in Iowa City, Iowa because of Patton’s service as “CC” while serving as a member of The University of Iowa Law School Faculty. Several current members were recognized with $1,000 scholarship grants during the Centennial Banquet. Chris Allara ’14, Jarron Atha ’14 and Drew Davis ’13 received awards for their academic achievement and service to Delta Chi and the community. “CC” Keith Shriver, “DD” Aaron Otto, and Region IV Regent Matt Gorney attended the celebration, and Otto presented a plaque from the Fraternity to commemorate the Chapter’s milestone.

REGIONAL UPDATES Region III

Region IX

Region IV

Brothers,

Things are in full swing in Region III. Texas Tech teamed up with Kappa Delta and brought home first place at the University’s Homecoming float competition. The Corpus Christi and Texas Tech Chapters have both had very successful events to raise funds for the V Foundation. Texas Tech’s capture the flag tournament brought in $1,000, while Corpus Christi’s semi-annual “Don’t Drop the Ball” event raised over $1,000. In Baton Rouge, the L.S.U. Chapter moved into a new facility after a very successful recruitment effort.

Region IX saw a fast start to the fall semester, with the Penn State Chapter reporting 27 associate members. Other chapters and colonies across the region are not far behind. The Charlotte Colony saw an excellent turnout during recruitment, and we look forward to seeing them continue their path towards chartering. In October, the Charlotte Colony hosted a Founders’ Day Dinner and Ritual Exemplification, attended by Order of the White Carnation member Patrick Phelan, Embry-Riddle ’72, and “AA” Miles Washburn, Massachusetts ’87. On November 10, 2012, the Lehigh Chapter celebrated the 60th anniversary of the Chapter’s original chartering date. I encourage you to visit www.deltachiregion9.com for updates about the upcoming 2013 RLC.

The Chapters (and Colony!) of Region IV exhibited strong recruitment efforts and worked throughout the semester to make their organizations the best on campus. Of particular note:

Region VIII Brothers, I hope that many of you have had a great fall season, with opportunities to visit your home chapter, or one nearby, for a Founders’ Day, Homecoming, or similar celebration. If you are reading this, than you may already be involved with one of the groups in the area. Hopefully, you are already familiar with the many accomplishments of our chapters, the awards they have earned, their community service and philanthropic work, and their efforts to assist their members in the acquisition of a sound education. Today, I ask you to stay engaged if you already are, increase that engagement if you can, or become engaged once more if you are not currently. This year has seen several incidents within the region, and we face the possibility of losing several groups due to a variety of poor choices made by our student members. There is often a direct link between the success of a chapter and the support the student members receive from alumni. However, some of these groups have had great alumni assistance and still made poor choices. Some of our current support alumni will concede that they are overwhelmed. We cannot presume to accomplish our mission as a social fraternity to prepare men for society without the leadership of men who have already successfully entered it. Now, more than ever, we need you. Our members need role models, support volunteers, advisors and mentors to help them.

DELTA CHI QUARTERLY

These young men are on their own for the first time in their lives, struggling to manage a small business, recruit members, juggle classes and other commitments, and at times, make ethical decisions that could have life or death consequences. It is a lot to ask of the average 18-22 year old. They need the guidance of men like us who have seen more of the world and can guide them to the right path. As a business man, a father, a husband and a community volunteer, I understand that one’s time is incredibly valuable. Taking time away from your family, your job, and other commitments to come back and help Delta Chi can seem to be a difficult proposition. I am asking you to consider what time might be possible to spare. Hopefully, you remember the impact of support alumni when you were a student member, a chairman, or an officer. If so, I ask that you give back in some small way. If not, I ask that you help make sure these men have what you may have missed. If you are unsure of how to help, please just ask. The Headquarters office can put you in touch with your local chapter’s “BB” or ABT President. Please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your continued, and possibly new, support of our beloved Fraternity and Region. ITB, Chris Kilroy, Huntsville ’99 Regent - Region VIII Regent8@deltachi.org

Leadership Consultants Continued From page 21

a visit from “Nationals”. However, the “LCs” make use of their visits and understand the potential impact three days can have. Cameron continued: “In addition to [my responsibilities], I took all of my visits as an opportunity to educate brothers on the important service that we Leadership Consultants provide, in addition to the myriad of services provided by our International Headquarters.” Delta Chi’s Leadership Consultants learn throughout their travels just what it takes to provide the best service they can to our chapters and colonies. Daniel learned a lot as he went along: “The job is very dynamic. You have to be much more flexible than I anticipated. There are many small things that must be done.” Certain skills necessary come to the forefront: “Being able to manage your time and good organization is key. It is hard to have a consistent schedule and get in a rhythm. After my first ten visits I figured out a good way to handle everything without overworking myself.” Cameron came to a great mindset on the job: “You get out of the job what you put into it. I approached each chapter as an opportunity and a challenge to outdo myself from my previous visit.”

“

the ability to plan ahead and internally communicate. Brothers who, and chapters that, do this well usually have a good operation going on.” Michael pinpoints another theme: “I think accountability is so important. I’ve found that our successful chapters are holding their members accountable.” Cameron notes identity and a sense of purpose as being key. “When on a visit, I always ask brothers to tell me their purpose. In trying to answer, it challenges our undergraduates to develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of Delta Chi. Having a strong and well-polished sense of self translates into success in every area of the fraternity, both in terms of functionality and, most importantly, in terms of the brotherhood and connections among one another.”

‘What makes it all worth it? It was put very simply to the Fraternity’s most recently retired “LCs:” what made the job worth it for you? What did you get out of it? Two answers stood out. “My favorite part of being a Leadership Consultant was seeing undergraduates

Really making a difference – breaking through the barriers

have those ‘ah-ha!’ moments and begin to take initiative to create positive change in their chapters,” said Michael.

There’s a certain stigma attached to being the “guy from nationals,” and at first many undergraduate brothers might be apprehensive about divulging their chapter’s current challenges to a man they’ve never met. It can be difficult for a Leadership Consultant to do his job properly and to help a chapter or colony if an officer or chairman won’t tell him what exactly he really needs help with. How do these men get to the truth of a chapter’s biggest problems? Cameron notes, “There is a lot to be said about establishing trust, respect and honesty during a visit. These are the three things I always sought to establish from the moment I shook the first brother’s hand…or walked in the front door of the house.”

“My favorite aspect of the job was the feeling I got when I shook an officer’s or committee member’s hand after a good, hearty conversation, and I could walk away with confidence knowing that he had more tools to be a better leader, a wiser Delta Chi, and that his chapter or colony could be better because of him. Knowing that I was a small part of that was the best reward of the job,” said Cameron. Brett had a similar sentiment as he looked back as a Director, “I think the best thing was being at Convention in Pittsburgh and striking up conversations with the brothers I had worked with the previous school year. Hearing the stories of what they were able to accomplish and getting thanks for my help was a rewarding experience”.

Brett agreed with Cameron’s observation, saying “Most times, visits would start off with that awkward getting to know you feel until you were able to break the ice and gain the trust of the brothers you were working with. After you meet with a couple of men they tell everyone else, ‘He’s here to help.’”

In fact, what often makes the opportunity worthwhile is that a Leadership Consultant learns as much from every meeting as an officer or chairman learns. Life “on the road” can be a very rewarding experience for Delta Chi brothers who choose to answer the call of the Leadership Consultant. If you are interested in this opportunity or would like to recommend a brother, please contact Brett Herring, Director of Chapter Services at bretth@deltachi.org to learn more about the application process. Or, if you have the chance to meet one of this school year’s Consultants, ask them about the job!

Establishing that kind of relationship is essential. Some Leadership Consultants, like Daniel, are very familiar with the sentiment. “My chapter was not a big fan of consultant visits, including myself at times. I always kept my undergraduate perspective in mind when I was with a group.” “Almost every chapter I have visited has wanted advice and sought it out when meeting with me. As long as you can show that the undergraduates and support alumni can trust you, Delta Chi undergraduates are very reasonable about working on real issues in their chapters with our Leadership Consultants,” added Cameron. What helps make a chapter great? What can chapters that aren’t living up to their potential learn from those that are? Daniel identifies communication and planning as major topics. “One of the biggest themes I have seen is
