THE LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE

PROVIDES A TOOL KIT FOR THE FUTURE LEE RICHARDSON, TRANSYLVANIA ’09

Lee Richardson, Transylvania ’09, wants to go to medical school.

But first he’s applying for a Fulbright Scholarship that would enable him to defer his med school acceptance and spend ten months in Quito, Ecuador. While there he would take classes, strengthen his Spanish language skills and study the effectiveness of youth sexual health education programs in urban centers to determine how transferrable they would be in smaller rural settings.

Richardson is a pursuing a double major in biochemistry and Spanish.

He’s already been to Ecuador once for a seven-week study abroad experience where he volunteered in the nurse’s ward at a medical clinic. He helped triage patients, did at-home visits with nurses and shadowed the clinic’s doctor. This opportunity was the perfect combination of his love for medicine/public health and his desire to visit a Spanish-speaking country.

In addition to his demanding academic schedule and travel abroad, Richardson served as president of the Beta Mu Chapter.

Richardson says the presidency wasn’t even on his radar, but a group

22

T H E C A R N AT I O N | D E LTA S I G . O R G

of older brothers saw his passion for the Fraternity and its ideals, and they encouraged him to run. “They provided awesome support for me as president.

When I did things great, they’d tell me.

When I screwed up, they would let me know that as well. It was good to get that criticism both positive and negative throughout the term,” he says.

He received similar support from brothers with regard to his dream of studying abroad. “They encouraged me to go after what I was passionate about. They never told me what to do. They just helped me explore my passions. Then they supported me and helped me go after it,” he says.

In 2011, Richardson was selected as a finalist for the E. Allen James Award, the highest honor the Fraternity can bestow on an undergraduate.

Richardson says his exposure to the Fraternity through events like Regional Leadership Academy and The Leadership Institute prepared him for what came later. “I absolutely feel like the Fraternity prepared me for my trip to Ecuador. The Leadership Institute helped hone and develop my leadership skills so that when I did get into that foreign setting in Ecuador, I had a tool kit I was working with. A lot of the tools in my tool belt are thanks to Delta Sigma Phi.” He recalls an early experience being nominated and elected vice president of his new member class. “It gave me confidence to go out, get involved and

savor the college experience. The Fraternity is the reason I was able to accomplish a lot of things. I’ve gained so much from my experience.

I wouldn’t be the guy I am today without Delta Sigma Phi,” he says.

Delta Sig means so much to Richardson that he says he plans to pay the debt for what he’s gained.

“The Fraternity has been so impactful that I will give back with time and financially for rest of my life. This is definitely brotherhood for life.”

LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE CHANGES LIVES FOR

UNDERGRADUATE LEADERS

JIM HICKS, ALABAMA ’89 and TONY BLANTON, TRANSYLVANIA ’85

It’s been 19 years in the making.

The Leadership Institute, originally the College of Engineered Leadership, is impacting young and old alike and making its mark on individual brothers and the Fraternity as a whole.

After volunteering as an LI small group facilitator for five years Jim Hicks, Alabama ’89, was invited to join LI’s lead facilitation team in 2009. He co-leads the five-day summer program alongside Tony Blanton, Transylvania ’85, who was involved in its creation while on the Fraternity’s staff in the early ’90s.

As Dean of Students at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga, Hicks got involved in LI because of his interest in the study of leadership. “Whenever I can, I try to take opportunities to interact and talk with students about what it means to be a student leader. Being part of LI allows me to work with a group of students I otherwise wouldn’t get to meet,” he says.

Blanton, who serves as Director of Off Campus Student Services at the University of Kentucky, says bringing Hicks on to co-lead the program hints at the hope for expanding LI to include a second session. The program is currently capped at 55 brothers because of space limitations at the facility. “As we start to get more applicants we’re turning away people who are qualified.

We’d eventually like to offer LI more often to accommodate more brothers,” he says.

ATTENDANCE IS A “GIFT” TO PARTICIPANTS With each passing year, the LI has become increasingly selective, prioritizing invitations to high-caliber brothers.

Participants are not only leaders in their chapters but also in their campus communities. At the estimated price tag of $1,000 per person, undergraduate brothers attend at no personal cost. Instead, alumni contributions to the Delta Sigma Phi Foundation cover travel, room and board and the curriculum resources required for the program.

Participation is, in many respects, a reward for those brothers who have given their all to excel in representing the Fraternity on campus and in their community. LI is an opportunity for Delta Sigma Phi to give back to those who have invested their college careers in the growth and advancement of our Fraternity.

ANNUAL CURRICULUM EVALUATION STRENGTHENS LI The Leadership Challenge, created

by Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner, is a recognized model for mobilizing leaders from all backgrounds; it’s also the foundation for the Leadership Institute curriculum.

Each year the LI staff re-evaluates the curriculum to determine what needs to be revised based on their experience the previous summer.

They evaluate participant pre- and post-tests taken during the program.

“We measure the learning that occurred and use that to guide our decisions about which parts of the program need to be tweaked,” says Blanton.

With close to two decades under its belt, LI has seen very little change in recent years. “We’ve come a long way from the first one. It was good but nowhere near as good as what we have now,” Blanton says. He believes the annual curriculum assessment has contributed to LI’s improvement over time. “It’s gone a long way to help the program be as strong as it is today,” he says.

Hicks points out that LI is different from other more traditional leadership programs which train students for a role that supports the organization. Instead the focus of the LI is on building leadership skills for the individual. “We want to teach and make better leaders, which will in turn create a better organization. That’s always been the intent,” he says.

THE LEARNING IS A TWOWAY STREET Hicks always shares with participants the value he gains from serving.

Similar to a lightning bolt which appears to strike the ground during a storm, leadership and learning appear to be very top down, oneway experiences; however, the energy in a lightning bolt actually travels from the ground to the sky.

Annual Report

(Above) Delta Sigs participate in the Leadership Tap during the Leadership Institute. The Leadership Tap is a game where members anonymously shoulder tap other members who have impacted them in some way during the weekend and (right) Teambuilding is a key part of developing leaders. Attendees participate in a Rock Wall Climb where they are linked together with other members. The linked climb demonstrates the importance of working together to come out ahead.

“I share the lightning bolt metaphor and tell the participants I’m gaining as much from the interaction as they are.

Through our interactions I may even learn more about how to work with students or issues to be aware of on my campus,” he shares.

Hicks values his interactions with the large group. “Seeing those little sparks in their eyes when they can take what we’re talking about and relate it to something they’ve experienced, that’s what I enjoy the most about LI,” says Hicks.

Blanton says his favorite part of the curriculum prompts students to develop a plan of action following their departure. “They have something they can begin to implement. We’re not just talking about what you should do but giving them tools to go home and put it into action,” he says.

THE LI JUST KEEPS ON GIVING Over the years, both Hicks and Blanton have seen former LI partici-

pants return to serve as small group facilitators. “They’ve taken what they learned and used it in their lives and now feel it’s important enough to come back and share their experience with others,” says Hicks.

Much of the “measured” success of the LI is anecdotal. “When LI grads return as small group facilitators, we’ll ask one or two of them to share what they did when they went back to campus or how they used what they learned in their careers,” says Blanton.

He believes that’s the most important aspect of the program— helping students translate their leadership experience from the college campus to their profession and the community they will live in beyond college. “It teaches them to make great positive contributions in all facets of their lives,” says Blanton.

In fact, LI participants are likely to give back for what they’ve received.

Fifty-nine percent of current and past 1899 Society members (of

those initiated since 1993 when the program began) are LI graduates.

“They received something above and beyond in their Fraternity experience and now they are engaged investors giving back to the organization,” says Randy Peterson, UNC-Charlotte ’93, former Foundation staff member.

“This program is not about how to make better chapters, it’s about building better men and allowing them to use and apply the skills they’ve gained as officers and campus leaders and figure out how to apply them to their career. I think that’s why you see so many who come through LI continue to be involved in the Fraternity. They feel like the Fraternity helped them in their lives,” says Blanton.

But Hicks believes that the resulting growth does, in fact, impact chapters as well. “I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the chapters receiving awards at the end of the year are the same chapters that have been sending and continue to send people through the LI experience,” he says.

Alumni and undergraduates who have been touched by LI agree that it’s one of the best things Delta Sig does. And for that matter, so does Paul Whatley, one of this year’s small group facilitators and a member of Delta Chi Fraternity. (See side bar for more about Whatley’s impressions of LI.)

LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE CHANGES LIVES ENSURING THE FUTURE OF LI… AND DELTA SIG Delta Sigma Phi offers our most excellent young brothers the opportunity to become better men through programs like the Leadership Institute.

“It’s so vitally important that we continue to make this possible for young men. It’s the burden we have as alumni to make sure that we are leaving the organization better than it was when we found it. We can put things in place that allow us to replace the men that leave with better men.

Only then can we grow and develop as an organization,” says Hicks.

Blanton feels the same. “This program is one of the best leadership oriented programs that any fraternity in the country does. If we want to keep it the premier leadership experience, we need to have continued support and ideally reach the goal of being able to offer it to more people more often,” he says.

That’s not a difficult sell for those who’ve experienced it. At the closing bonfire at the end of LI, brothers share about the relationships and trust they’ve built with each other in just a few short days.

“It’s a transformational experience for a lot of men who go through. You can hear that in their voices. It really means a lot to them. Then they go back and share it with other brothers.

It sells itself,” says Hicks.

“When you ask why they came, almost every time the answer is ‘Because Brother X told me about it and said it changed his life.’ To be part of that, no matter how small, is an honor and a privilege,” says Hicks.

Paul Whatley, a member of Delta Chi Fraternity, serves as the Coordinator of Fraternity and Sorority Life at James Madison University. He met Assistant Executive Director Paul Lawson, Stetson ’89, in 2008, while discussing Delta Sigma Phi’s colonization at JMU. In the midst of later conversations, Lawson eventually invited Whatley to serve as a small group facilitator for the 2011 Leadership Institute.

Whatley was surprised to learn that he was the only nonDelta Sig participating, but he was extremely encouraged by his experience. “I think the program is phenomenal!” he says. He was impressed by the LI’s interactivity.

Instead of sitting in workshops filling out worksheets, he observed “participants and facilitators constantly engaged every step of the way, which builds trust and friendship among the brothers.”

He believes the relational impact of the program is significant. “I have attended several leadership programs over the years, and I have grown from each of them, but I have never felt a greater sense of camaraderie, inspiration and personal development at the same time,” he says.

He found LI to be unique among leadership programs.

“Most are directed toward training members to be more active leaders within their own organization.

In contrast, LI encourages Delta Sig men to consider leadership opportunities outside of the Fraternity. In this way I believe Delta Sigma Phi is living its mission of better men, better lives,” he says.

Though not a member of Delta Sig, Whatley believes that LI is a worthwhile investment.

“It’s not like other leadership programs out there. These are men who have given a lot to the Fraternity and campus community.

This is how the Fraternity gives something back to them. It’s like saying, ‘We want to help you because you’ve helped so many others.’ It allows them to focus on their needs as a leader and a man and continue to grow and develop,” he says. “I also saw the confidence of every man grow because of the knowledge and skills they were able to gain from LI.” “It’s hard to put into words just how powerful this experience was for me. As we sat around the campfire, I shared with the entire group that I am not a Delta Sig. Some were surprised. For me to feel so welcomed into that bond renewed my spirit and restored my soul. It reminded me why I work in education and why I’m a fraternity man – to give back and help the next generation,” he says.

If offered the opportunity to return to LI Whatley says, without a doubt, he’d accept it. “Delta Sig is accomplishing their mission.

It’s not better lives for the sake of Delta Sig, it’s better lives for the sake of the world. Because of that and what I learned about Vision 2025 – that it’s not about becoming better at the expense of any other organization but instead it’s a personal challenge to the men of Delta Sigma Phi – I’m all for doing anything I can to help this Fraternity.”

DONOR SPOTLIGHT ALAIN BALMANNO, UTAH STATE ’07

The history, standards and, most importantly, the Fraternity’s focus on leadership development won Alain Balmanno over in his decision to join Delta Sigma Phi as an alumnus initiate at the age of 53.

Alain Balmanno, Utah State ’07, first learned about Delta Sigma Phi while working in the Utah attorney general’s office alongside good friend, colleague and active Delta Sig alumnus Michael Wims, North Texas ’66. Both are retired military officers, and Balmanno often shared stories about teaching at West Point and how much he enjoyed mentoring young men and women in uniform.

Wims regularly spoke with Balmanno about his ongoing involvement with Delta Sigma Phi. The opportunity to continue helping develop future leaders was intriguing to Balmanno; and it wasn’t long before Wims invited him to join the Fraternity. “Initially I said, ‘You just want me for my money. And Mike responded, ‘No, we want your time also,’” Balmanno remembers.

At the age of 53, Balmanno was initiated at Utah State, which was the only Delta Sig chapter in Utah at the time.

He has found his place in the brotherhood assisting nearby undergraduate chapters and colonies. He also helped form the Northern Utah Area Alumni Association, which supports the growing colony at the University of Utah where Balmanno serves on the ACB. He was part of the team that presented the Fraternity’s expansion application to University of Utah administrators – `a bid that that was accepted unanimously. “They were thrilled to bring Delta Sigma Phi to campus,” Balmanno says, because the preamble of the Fraternity’s constitution resonates well with the culture and standards at the University of Utah. “Standards like academic excellence, leadership and chivalry towards women really stand out,” he says.

He’s often asked, “Why on earth would you join a fraternity now?” It’s a question he’s become accustomed to answering. "Most people don’t understand fraternities,”

26

T H E C A R N AT I O N | D E LTA S I G . O R G

he says. “I try to lead my life by certain values. One is that we ought to be anxiously engaged in good causes. And in Delta Sigma Phi, I’ve found a good cause helping young men along by providing mentoring and leadership training.”

The history, standards and most importantly, the Fraternity’s focus on leadership development were the things that won Balmanno over in his decision to join. He believes leadership development is one of the most important things Delta Sigma Phi does. As a past facilitator at Regional Leadership Academies and the Leadership Institute, both are “marvelous” programs in his estimation.

He asserts that Delta Sig’s leadership training develops men who recognize the value of setting goals, are empowered to make decisions and understand that loyalty is a two-way street. Following his attendance at The Leadership Institute, he says: “I came away from LI and emailed my friends telling them that I had just spent the week with some of the best young men of this generation I’d ever met.”

His early assumptions came true as well. Balmanno has not only devoted his time to supporting and encouraging the colony at the University of Utah, he’s a committed Foundation donor as well. “The quality of men in Delta Sig, the leadership development and Vision 2025 – those are the things that have propelled me to join the 1899 Society and decide that I can give more of my time and money to this organization,” he says.

Annual Report

DONOR SPOTLIGHT NATHAN WELCH, UAB ’07

“Delta Sigma Phi contributed to my development, my outlook on life and my work ethic. I feel an obligation to pay back as I’m realizing the benefits. I want to continue to give other guys that same opportunity,” says Nathan Welch.

Nathan Welch, UAB ’07, spends his days building cost optimization models for government organizations.

Through the Center for Enterprise Modernization (a Federally Funded Research and Development Center) and his previous employer, Booz Allen Hamilton, he’s done work for the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, the Department of Commerce and NASA. And he truly credits much of his success to Delta Sigma Phi. “My career progression so far is due to a lot of things I learned as an undergraduate in the Fraternity,” Welch says.

Welch studied mathematics while at UAB on a National Science Foundation scholarship. While he did well in his undergraduate studies, he says it was his involvement with Delta Sig that prepared him for the professional world.

“Being a math major I had a very narrow network. So joining the Fraternity exposed me to different majors and fields – psychology, nursing, business, biology – and different ways of thinking. It opened me up to different groups of people.”

Today he sits down with senior government leaders, engineers and scientists and puts the interpersonal skills he gained in Delta Sig to work. “If all my social skills were a result of my time as a math major I’d be an epic failure in trying to navigate the complex political systems associated with funding an initiative or killing it,” he says.

It’s a lesson Welch wants undergraduates to know. His advice: “Work hard to establish relationships with interesting

people who add value to your life. Make a conscious effort to continue to seek out people who challenge you and learn as much as you can from them. The bottom line is to have balance. That’s what Delta Sig helped me achieve and maintain so far.”

Welch joined the Zeta Chi Chapter near the end of his sophomore year and immediately took on leadership roles, first as pledge class president, then as treasurer for the chapter. It was his role as treasurer, in particular, that prepared him for his current profession. “Any person that’s mathematically savvy could construct the models I build. But what helps differentiate me at this point in my career is my ability to effectively communicate the results of those models to both engineers and business people,” he says.

“At Delta Sig, I gained an ability to communicate with others and the ability to navigate uncomfortable situations and walk away with some sort of resolution, good or bad.

Those are powerful things that you can’t really get in class.”

Although Welch now lives 800 miles away in Arlington, Virginia he remains involved with the UAB chapter and the Alumni Corporation Board. “My goals are to give the chapter exposure to the national organization, establish continuity for the chapter year over year and give young alumni the opportunity to stay connected after college,” he says.

Welch also feels it’s important that he gives back financially. “Delta Sigma Phi contributed to my development, my outlook on life and my work ethic. I feel an obligation to pay back as I’m realizing the benefits. I want to continue to give other guys that same opportunity.”
