When we think of a fraternity, we think of Delta Chi. It is safe to say that we are a good-sized fraternity with over 125 chapters and colonies, over 106,000 initiated members, with representation in the United States and Canada.

However, my question to you is this…

How strong are we? Sure, we have been around for 122 years and like to brag about our successes, but does that really make us a strong fraternity? Not necessarily, in my opinion.

I like to look at a good, thick rope as an example of something strong. It is made up of many threads, all intertwined. These many threads combined hold anchors; secure large ships to docks; pull large, heavy vehicles and secure items to ships and trucks.

I think that Delta Chi as a whole could be compared to a strong, thick rope. Each chapter or colony represents a thread of that rope. When our chapters and colonies are operating well, representing themselves in a positive way in their communities and on campus, working hard to get good grades and being financially responsible, and of course having good alumni involvement, the rope is strong. Every time we expand with a new colony, the rope gets thicker and stronger.

But, that rope can weaken and weaken quickly. If a chapter

or colony makes some poor decisions, for example: hazing, violating alcohol policies, (either Delta Chi or the college or university policy), is not financially responsible, does not focus on grades, has a series of bad recruitment periods, or has a lack of alumni involvement, the rope can weaken. The rope loses a thread by a closure of a chapter or colony. This hurts all of Delta Chi, because we become weaker as an organization.

Every semester the Delta Chi rope engages in a tug-of-war. Temptation, peer pressure and bad decisions put a real strain on the rope, causing threads to unravel and snap, making the Delta Chi rope weaker. Pulling on the other side are expansion, philanthropy, grades and strong recruitment, making the Delta Chi rope stronger. It is really amazing how hard it is to make the rope stronger and how easy it is to make it weaker. Weeks or months can be dedicated to opening a colony, (making a new thread), and a thread can be snapped with one poor decision.

At the end of the day, it is up to you how strong Delta Chi will be.

I challenge you, as undergraduates, to keep the rope strong. Make good decisions and don’t jeopardize the thread for which you are responsible. You are your brother’s keeper.

You are the future of your chapter or colony; in fact you are the future of Delta Chi. Don’t let the rope get weaker on your watch.

As an alumnus, I challenge my fellow alumni to help the undergraduates take care of the thread with which they, and you, are entrusted. Help them to practice the values we preach and to make good decisions.

Understand what is going on inside the chapter or colony and earn the trust of the undergraduate, so you in fact will be respected and listened to.

I think our Delta Chi rope is strong but can still lose its strength very quickly.

I would hate to see the rope snap one day in the future because of poor decisions or lack of involvement. We, as brothers of Delta Chi, must commit to taking care of our Fraternity and ensure that our “rope” remains strong. We must always be focused on strengthening this rope and preventing any thread from fraying and risking the overall strength of our “rope.”

Raymond D. Galbreth

BROTHER. LEADER. FRIEND. Most know and refer to him simply as “Ray.” Brother Raymond D. Galbreth, Missouri ’69, faithfully served as the Executive Director of Delta Chi’s International Headquarters for over 33 years. Ray’s duties included overseeing the daily operations of the Fraternity and Educational Foundation, hiring and training Delta Chi’s Leadership Consultants and other support staff, and representing the Fraternity at events and conferences.

Additionally, Ray has served as Editor of the Quarterly during his time as Executive Director. He kept in his desk drawer a copy of every issue he produced, and he could easily recall what went into each story and issue when asked. The cover of each issue was special to Ray. Each cover represented an individual or a chapter’s achievements, and, when speaking with Ray, you learned that he really was proud of each cover and those individuals on it. Having overseen the creation of over 100 issues of the Quarterly, one might think Ray would tire of the magazine and coming up with new story ideas. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Ray’s passion for making the Quarterly the best it could be never wavered.

Ray’s accomplishments and impact during his tenure as Executive Director would be impossible to summarize within a feature story of any length in the Quarterly.

Rather than trying to summarize Ray’s career accomplishments, the Quarterly would instead like to share how truly widespread Ray’s impact has been within the Fraternity, through the words of our members, friends, and family.

Doug Galbreth Iowa 2004 My father has been the Executive Director of Delta Chi for over 30 years. During this time we have seen significant growth in the number of chapters, increase in membership in chapters, and leadership development programs. In fact there are many people who are Delta Chis today who would not be part of the brotherhood if not for the hard work and dedication put forth by Ray Galbreth. He has always given so much of himself to a cause that has meant so much to so many. His level-headed, disciplined approach to encouraging positive change, solving difficult problems, and holding people accountable for their actions has lead to Delta Chi becoming a premier fraternal organization. Ray’s drive to improve Delta Chi and advance the Greek movement as a whole has led to numerous prestigious awards and recognitions, but these awards have never been sought out by Ray. His persistence and desire to succeed have set him apart as a true quiet professional. “Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.

Talent will not. Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not. Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not. The world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence, determination and hard work make the difference.” - Calvin Coolidge

Dear Ray,

Few people have given of themselves to Delta Chi as much as Ray Galbreth. He has been a beacon through good and bad and has been an inspiration to many. He has instilled a value system in a generation of staff who have in turn transformed countless undergraduates throughout North America. He has held the torch high, and Delta Chi is better for his steadfast leadership and commitment.He has been the embodiment of Delta Chi.I am proud to call him “Brother” and even more proud to call him “friend.”

Executive Vice President, Sigma Tau Gamma I salute you brother Galbreth. You are the quintessential fraternity man.

I first knew you, although only over the telephone, as the faculty advisor for the Alpha Phi Chapter of Sigma Tau Gamma at Southeast Missouri State University. They needed help. You helped. Alpha Phi Chapter is now at nearly 80 members. They will celebrate their 60th Anniversary in December. A large alumni turnout is expected. Of course, your admirable loyalty to Delta Chi drove you to transition into founding a new Delta Chi Chapter at Southeast Missouri State University, to be involved nationally as a volunteer, and then to accept the top professional leadership office.

Good for you. Good for Delta Chi. Good for all of us who care about college fraternities. From the beginning we knew you were smart. You asked the right questions. You were organized and task oriented. As time went on you became the sage of the FEA. All of us look to you for wisdom. A few of us have been privileged to become the closest of friends in the Missouri Guild. After a time, we wised up and included our spouses in our gatherings. Janet is a joy. But, you already know that. We’ve shared laughter and tears. It is what people who care about each other do. Wendy and I join your many friends wishing you and Janet the best life has to offer while basking in the knowledge that you have made more than a little difference in Delta Chi and all of its fellow organizations seeking to serve young men and women.

From the days when his hair was fuzzy to his classic “warm fuzzies” presentations, Ray has been devoted to Delta Chi. Not only is he a giant in our fraternity, but he is also recognized across the interfraternal world as an educator and role model. Our standing and respect as a fraternity is a direct reflection of Ray’s leadership. Janet had her own successful career and still found time to support Ray’s seven-day-a-week role with Delta Chi. There is no way we can truly repay the debt we owe them both.

Dear Ray,

Ball State 1966

Southern California 1997

I contemplated making this simply a two-word message. I knew that you would know my meaning. There is something to be said for things left unsaid. And yet, it seemed like not enough. Then again, I do not know what would be enough. How do you thank someone who has made such an impact (both realized and unknown) on so many lives? If I were to say that Delta Chi owed you a debt for being its caretaker all of these years, I have a feeling that you would reply that you have received as much as you have given and that the ledger is square. I would know what you meant. Then there is the influence you have had on my life... Second only to my father, I use lessons that you taught me on a daily basis. The exploration of my own character, both my strengths and my flaws, I owe to you. My appreciation and gratitude are too immense to characterize.

How does one describe the indescribable? So, in the end, I guess it all comes back to two words, yet it still feels like it isn’t enough.

Thank you.

Meet Delta Chi’s New

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Finding Delta Chi’s next Executive Director hasn’t been on an “AA”s’ to-do list for nearly 34 years. In fact, Delta Chi has had only seven men serve as Executive Director since a Headquarters was established. With Ray Galbreth’s planned retirement, Former “AA” R.C. Damle, Texas ’01, made sure that Delta Chi’s success would continue for years to come.

“My entire focus as “AA” was preparing for the future,” said Damle. “Initiating the hiring process for Delta Chi’s eighth Executive Director was no different. I decided to start early and get Board approval for the logistics of the search committee and hiring process so we wouldn’t have to worry about those aspects during the transition to the next “AA” after Convention.”

Delta Chi Law states the the Executive Committee (“AA”, “CC”, “DD”) is responsible for hiring an Executive Director. Damle decided to create a search committee consisting of the Fraternity’s major stakeholders whose goal would be to present the Executive Committee with two or three candidates for a final decision. Damle established the committee with the following individuals: Regent Jeremy Bishop, Oregon State ’99; Regent Tom Carroll, Hayward ’98; “AA” Miles Washburn, Massachusetts ’87; Former “AA” and former Headquarters Director Steve Bossart, Kent State ’90; Educational Foundation Vice President Don LaPlante, Southern California; and himself as Retiring “AA”.

Interested applicants submitted letters of interest along with a résumé, salary requirements, and any additional information for consideration before October 31, 2012. The committee received over twelve applications, which it randomly split into two pools. With each half of the committee responsible for one pool of candidates, initial interviews began on November 13, 2012. Recommendations allowed candidates to move to the second round of interviews, which were more technical. Candidates interviewed for the second round with the other search committee members with whome they hadn’t yet interacted.

“We were looking for someone who had given thought to how he would execute the vision of the organization and could do great things for Delta Chi on day one. We needed someone with an understanding of our position within the academic community and our various strategic initiatives that will impact our organization,” Damle said.

Two candidates were selected to interview in person with the Executive Committee in Chicago over the weekend of December 15, 2012. The rest is obvious: Justin Sherman was chosen to be Delta Chi’s eighth Executive Director.

“From the beginning, Justin Sherman stood out from the rest of the candidates,” said Damle. “He had done his homework, had ideas, and knew what he would do to get where we needed to go. He gave us a roadmap of how he would accomplish our goals from day one, and, I have to admit, I was impressed with his energy.”

Justin P. Sherman

We had a chance to speak with Justin...

What interested you in applying for the position?

I have to be completely honest: the thought of applying for this job terrified me. I was fully aware that Delta Chi’s next Executive Director would be at the helm for some exciting but challenging times.

I saw this as an opportunity to continue providing support for our chapters, alumni, volunteers and staff and leading Delta Chi into a new era. I made a deal with myself: If I could not fully see myself being able to give 100%, then I was not going to apply.

How did you prepare for the interview process?

I knew that it would be essential to bring a solid game plan to the table with many new and invigorating ideas. I went into each interview with a positive mindset and vision for the future of our fraternity.

How would you describe the current state of Delta Chi? Our chapters have done so many great things throughout our rich history, and I’d describe our current state as pretty good. Delta Chi can always improve, though, and it will with the cooperation of our student members, alumni, advisors and friends of Delta Chi. Together, we can easily improve the Delta Chi experience by a factor of three! I look forward to working with stronger chapters, spreading Delta Chi to more campuses through continued expansion, and reviving the emphasis of “a sound education” so that together we’ll be able to show this world why Delta Chi is one of the greatest fraternities!

What personal strengths do you feel you’ll bring to your role as Executive Director?

I think people would describe me as a critical thinker and considerate person. I think these are two very important strengths to have in this role. This job requires a great level of creativity; you always have to be on your toes.

Tell us a bit about your previous time on staff. What have been some of your memories, major accomplishments, challenges, and learning moments?

My fraternity experience in college was all about my chapter. I was not a fan of the Headquarters just because I had many misconceptions. Unfortunately for me, that didn’t change until my senior year of college when Karl Grindel, Central Missouri ’01, reached out to me about being a Leadership Consultant. I owe Karl Grindel so much for believing in me and giving me a chance. When he called, he ended the conversation saying, “Don’t make a decision you will regret for the rest of your life.”

Today, I am glad to have made that decision, and I most definitely do not regret any of it. I began working for Delta Chi during the summer of 2008 as a Leadership Consultant. One semester later,

I found myself in the role of Director of Chapter Services. With a plan to return to college, I didn’t see myself in that role for very long. Three years later, I became the Director of Fraternity Growth and Advancement.

Some of my best memories go out to the Kansas State Colony and Whitewater Chapter. I was bestowed the honor of being able to work on both of those expansions. I walked onto both of those campuses not knowing a soul and walked away with brothers and great friends for life.

Working for Delta Chi truly tests you as a human being. As soon as you walk in the back door of our Headquarters, you’re both working and living with the same five to seven brothers. If you think living in a fraternity house is interesting, come work for us! Although it was sometimes difficult doing that, I made best friends with some really great people.

How about your undergraduate experience (Delta Chi & campus involvement)? What did you learn about leadership and working with people?

I walked into the Delta Chi house during one of the first weeks of school in 2003. One of the first men I met was Peter Glickert, Central Missouri ’05. Within an hour of meeting him, he walked me through the associate member process. By the time I walked out of that house, I knew Delta Chi is where I belonged. As a member, I served as “A” and “C” for my chapter, and I ended my senior year as the IFC President.

The biggest lesson I learned in college was you must give people a chance, which is definitely easier said than done. My Chapter’s ABT and UCM’s two Greek Advisors, Libby Anderson and Alan Nordyke, gave me the chance to screw up. Trust me: I had my moments. However, at the end of each day, the world was still turning and our chapter was successful and functioning. This has become part of my leadership philosophy today, and I am very grateful that I had the chance to be surrounded and supported by amazing people in college.

Who is your biggest role model?

What’s your favorite quote?

“Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best.” - Tim Duncan.

This quote encompasses my life, as I am always trying to improve myself - physically, mentally and spiritually. I actually hung a large poster board in my bedroom with that quote so I can read it every morning. It is my job to give Delta Chi my best so that it can become the best.

What are your favorite hobbies?

I am extreme about fitness and living a healthy lifestyle. If I am not at Headquarters, you’ll likely find me at the crossfit gym training for an upcoming competition. I have completed three Tough Mudder events and am looking to participate in two more this summer.

I am also a fan of food challenges. The way I see it: food doesn’t challenge me; I challenge it. If you’re traveling with me, you might find yourself feeling like you’re on an episode of Man vs. Food.

I have failed a few times, but that’s about as rare as a blue moon.

What does brotherhood mean to you?

Brotherhood is whatever you make it. Unfortunately, this can be good or bad. I remain very close with some of my Central Missouri Chapter brothers: Brandon, Trent, Johnny, Travis and Laine, and I’m also very close with many other Delta Chis all across the world. These friendships weren’t instantaneous. Each of us has to be willing to give in order to receive the lifelong benefits of “fraternity.”

What do you feel it takes to build a successful chapter?

My mind is continually blown by the amazing brothers I have met all across the United States and Canada. We truly have great people in our fraternity who have done, and will do, amazing things with their lives. A successful chapter has to have men who desire to be true “fraternity men” and want to make this world a better place. A chapter can either be a group of men who get together to drink and have fun, or it can be a group made up of gentlemen who wake up each day with the desire to positively impact the world.

My biggest role models are my parents, Ed and Shirley Sherman. I owe them everything for who I am today. My parents have always supported my decisions growing up. I have seen them build a family and successful lifestyle from nothing. They are the two hardest working people I have ever met, and, yet, they always do it with smiles on their faces. I am a first-generation college student, and when I went to college, my parents were very reluctant to give their blessing for me to join a fraternity. Three years after I was initiated, I was able to witness the initiation of my father as an alumnus of Delta Chi. WINTER 2013

Captain Michael Elliott

FROM BROTHER TO CAPTAIN Captain Michael Elliott, Alabama ’83

Brother Captain Michael Elliott, Alabama ’83, is the Commodore of the Destroyer Squadron One of the United States Navy Pacific Fleet. Brother Elliott was born in Madison, Wisconsin and graduated from Alabama with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication. He was commissioned as an officer is the United States Navy in 1987 at Officer Candidate School in Newport, Rhode Island. His career in the Navy has been impressive to say the least. It has taken him around the world literally and to specific places such as: Florida, Norfolk, San Diego, San Francisco, Philippines, Western Africa, Gulf of Guinea, Southeast Asia, Persian Gulf, and Arabian Gulf. His tours of duty saw his participation in Operations Southern Watch (Iraq), Desert Strike (Iraq), Desert Shield (Iraq), Desert Storm (Gulf War), Vigilent Sentinel (Iraq), Earnest Will (Persian Gulf), Sea Soldier IV (Gulf of Oman), and San Francisco Fleet Week 2009 (San Francisco, CA).

Throughout his career he has also earned a Master of Arts Degree in National Security and Strategic Studies and a volume of awards that would make the Nobel Peace Prize blend in, including Legion of Merit, Meritorious, Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal, Navy and Marine Achievement Medal, Battle Efficiency Award, and Rear Admiral Bresnahan Leadership Award. The following are a few questions answered by Captain Elliott on how Delta Chi was a vital part of his life and career in the Navy.

How did you join Delta Chi? I had pledged another Fraternity my freshman year, mainly because of the attraction to the sports and intramural athletics, which were pushed hard during rush. That appealed to me at the time. However, that soon wore off, and the type of people were not who I wanted to associate with in a fraternity.

The next year, sophomore year, I went through rush again. A few people in Delta Chi really impressed me: Ernie Kennamer ’80, Don Rockwell ’80, Morris Seymour ’82 and a few others who actually sat down, talked with me, and invited me into the house to come back and get to know them better before making a commitment to pledge any fraternity. It took me less than one day – I knew these were the guys I wanted to consider as Brothers, not only for college but for my lifetime.

What life skills did you learn from Delta Chi? I learned to work for a common purpose and to be tolerant of where folks grew up, how they were raised, and their opinions. I also learned how to “agree to disagree” in order to accomplish something. We all had to put aside our personal opinions and work for the common good, that being Delta Chi. I learned how to become a part of a family of over 100 young men who look out for each other, care for each other, and put the interests of others first for the betterment of the entire group.

I also learned how to get along with people from all different areas of the country, different upbringings, and cultural differences. Being a Yankee among die-hard southerners – that was challenging. But, looking back on it, I would not trade that experience for anything. I think all of 8

DELTA CHI QUARTERLY

my brothers learned a great deal from this “living” educational process.

What skills do you believe fellow brothers should know in order to be successful in life?

Delta Chi taught me three things that’ve been key: Never give up; Hold on to your dreams; and Do not allow anyone to say you can’t accomplish something. I’ve also learned that we should be tolerant of one another. Never marginalize someone based on where he’s from or how he was raised.

Finally, set goals and do everything possible to accomplish them. In many cases, the end result of your goal isn’t as important as what you learn along the way.

What ideals of Delta Chi still resound in you today?

I first learned many of the core values of the Navy - honor, courage, and commitment - in Delta Chi. I’ve been in the Navy for 25 years, and these values have served me well throughout my career.

In fact, I still find myself reciting our Preamble when aboard ships, and I look to it for guidance in how I lead my sailors each day.

Knowing what you know now, if you could go back to your undergraduate time, would you do anything differently?

I would spend more time getting to know each of my fraternity brothers better. We had so many interesting brothers at The University of Alabama, and it would have been great to learn more about them.

When did you find your interest in the military?

I knew I wanted to be in the Navy since I was a young boy, about six or seven years old. While watching old war movies, the Navy always appealed to me the most. My favorite movie, Mr. Roberts, is actually how I patterned my leadership style.

What has been your biggest surprise since arriving in the Navy?

I was surprised and am encouraged every day by the incredible quality of people wearing the uniform. I’ve also learned that the Navy is more than a job or career - it’s a lifestyle.

What’s an average day like for you?

There’s no average day when commanding eight navy ships. If explained in one sentence it would be: We prepare our eight ships to go into harm’s way and bring harm to those who try to harm us.

What are some of the challenges you experience as a Naval Officer?

In many instances it is like being in a fraternity bringing people with different education levels, upbringings, motivations, and backgrounds together to work toward a shared vision and set of goals. It’s challenging to earn everyone’s trust, support, and buy-in.

What are some of your more memorable experiences in the Navy?

I’ll always remember the day I was officially commissioned in the Navy, Desert Shield/Desert Storm, rescuing the Achille Lauro cruise liner, the

Captain Michael Elliott

day the ship I was on launched tomahawk missiles on two separate occasions, being deployed to Western Africa while in command of a Frigate in 2007, and hosting my father’s Destroyer reunion onboard my ship in Mayport, FL. I have so many fond memories of different events in my Navy career, it’s difficult to just list a few.

Is there any fraternal advice you’d like to share with your Delta Chi brothers?

To alumni, keep in touch with your brothers. I talk with my pledge brothers and many other brothers monthly. I’ve even visited campus on a few occasions over the past five to ten years. Don’t ever lose touch with your college days, college friends, or fraternity brothers. These are truly friends for life! My Delta Chi brothers are my closest friends in the world, and they always will be.

To student members, apply yourself in school. The civilian and military markets are quite competitive.

While a good GPA won’t necessarily guarantee

you a good paying job right out of college, it can be what sets you apart from others competing for a particular job, promotion, or career path.

Also, be sure to develop your communication skills. This will follow you for the rest of your life.

Communication skills are even critical to one’s success in the Navy. Also, take an active role in Delta Chi from the beginning. Get to know your brothers and live in the house. These are times you can’t get back after college. Make sure you’re enjoying yourself and experiencing everything Delta Chi has to offer while you’re in college.

You’ve achieved a great deal in your life. Do you have any plans for the future?

I want to continue to accomplish everything I can while I’m in the Navy. After that, I hope to get into golf in some capacity - either as a professional in the PGA Golf Club Management area or in a teaching capacity for younger folks. I might even try to coach or volunteer at my old high school in Madison, WI.

We’ve reclaimed the top position in our Greek community by earning the highest GPA average among fraternities. Our brothers collectively earned a 3.52 average, whereas the all-mens’ average was 3.25, and the Greek average was 3.28. At the same time, our brothers continue to serve in student government, participate in club sports, and engage in various community service programs around the Berkeley area. Also, our intramural soccer team won the coveted Diamond Cup Tournament this fall. We hosted our first annual Homecoming Alumni Breakfast. This event, together with our traditional Alumni Dinner, raised a record amount of funds for housing improvements.

This semester also saw the implementation of a new associate member program, which focuses on Delta Chi’s four core values and our 11 basic expectations. On September 11th, we placed 2,996 flags on our lawn as a tribute to the lives lost eleven years ago. For more information about this activity and the media coverage it received, reference the “Coast to Coast” spread in the Fall 2012 Quarterly. Our intramural soccer and volleyball teams each reached the semi-finals, and our team in Delta Delta Delta’s flag football tournament brought home a second place finish.

Brothers also participated in a clean-up in a neighborhood garden.

On October 13th, the Kansas State Colony hosted its first annual Founders’ Day dinner and awards ceremony. With just over 40 brothers, alumni, friends and family in attendance, the evening was one to remember.

Special guests in attendance were “DD” Aaron Otto ’98, Regent Matthew Gorney ’06, and our Greek Advisor and keynote speaker, Jenni Jones.

Mrs. Jones discussed the importance of alumni relations and its positive outcomes. She also discussed the significance of campus involvement, noting that “[Delta Chi] appears a lot larger than [it is] in terms of member size on Kansas State’s campus.” We were very pleased to hear such positive feedback and hope to continue our work on campus.

We opened our new house, complete with a renovated formal room and dining room, as well as two new media rooms and study rooms. These new renovations have allowed us to create more brotherly interaction through common areas without the hassle of private apartments. For the first time in many years, we also were able to proudly display our letters on the house for all to see.

The chapter is proud to announce 22 new members in our newly initiated Beta Gamma class. These men embody the Delta Chi characteristics of scholarship, friendship, character and a stout observation of the law and have already contributed to the chapter through athletics, academics, community service and Homecoming activities.

This event also received the “Outstanding Philanthropic Event” award at our campus-wide Greek awards. The success of this event made us proud and, at the same time, elevates our goals for the future. One of the event’s “customers” commented on this year’s event: “The boys didn’t complain at all and even though I felt like I had a lot of stuff they were very enthusiastic about helping me, even though they had to move my stuff down three flights of stairs and up three flights up stairs. They were wonderful and so pleasant. I’m not sure I would have enjoyed this service as much if it had been done by another fraternity.”

At the Greek awards, we also received the “Best Recruitment Initiative” award, due to our 26-man recruitment effort last year. We’ve set the bar high for this year, and we’ve been actively preparing for our winter rush effort. Our fall recruitment events included Whirlyball, 1970s-style rollerblading, a road trip for the NU-Michigan State football game, a Super Smash Brothers tournament, and many dinners at the house.

Additionally, we took two trips in the spring: a tour of Milwaukee complete with a Brewers baseball game and a canoeing trip at Wisconsin Riverside in Spring Green. We capped off the spring term with our formal at Chicago’s Hard Rock Hotel, which was a night to remember for all. This fall, we solidified goals as a chapter in October during our annual chapter retreat at Tippecanoe State Park. After the retreat, many brothers painted up and made NU Athletic’s homepage from their front row spirit at the NU-Indiana game. We also teamed up with Gamma Phi to bring home first place during Greek Week, which included a talent competition, stroll contest, and foursquare tournament. Finally, we welcomed about 30 alumni back to campus for our Homecoming mixer in October, which marked the largest gathering of Delta Chi alumni since our return to campus in 1997.

This year, we’ve set a goal of $150,000 before the main event in February.

We’ve already raised $65,000, and we’ll keep working hard to meet our goal.

Homecoming was also very successful, with the Class of 1962 returning for its 50th anniversary and countless other brothers making the trip as well.

Over 30 brothers also participated in Pitt’s “Make A Difference” Day, where they cleaned up local areas. We were able to raise nearly $1,300 for the V Foundation this semester, with much of the money coming from attendance-based rewards for campus events. Andrew Wearden ’15, Marty Haschak ’15, Michael Murphy ’15, and Joe Molisani ’15 also brought home the “Best Taste” award at the No-Cook Cook-Off for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

While groups of three brothers at a time rang bells at the red kettle and greeted passers-by, other brothers travelled through the mall to fill customers with holiday spirit and encourage them to be generous to the less fortunate.

“It’s these experiences that bring our brothers together,” Philanthropy Chairman Andrew Erickson ’15 said. “I am continually astonished by the generosity of my brothers and how deeply they care. It’s not something you see every day.”

Some brothers, such as Tyler Grable ’15, donated to the kettle, and the community really came together to help those in need. There is something about the joy of giving that draws people, Greek or not, together.

“I don’t know how we’ll top this year, but I hope we’ll be back again,” Erickson said.
