Kemp immediately took a strong interest in advancing Alpha Delta, and he was prominent in campus activities. He sang for the glee club, played in the college band, participated in the German Club, performed in comedies for the Wigue and Masque Club, and served as its president.

All the while, his band performed for weekend dances.

“Delta Sig has been one of the best decisions of my life. The skills I acquired while being a member have played a pivotal role in helping shape the man I am today. Being married with four kids requires me to have a little more financial structure. The Insula Society allows me to make a budgeted gift each month that subsequently leads to a larger donation for the year.” – Nico Amoroso, Millikin ’05

Having the chance to offer feedback with staff while gaining the undergraduate viewpoint allowed me to see new possibilities for our brotherhood. I must say THANK YOU to Tom and Cyndy for making this possible on behalf of all Delta Sig volunteers who continue to give to our great fraternity!"

I have gained the skills and confidence to be able to take on anything that I put my mind to.

OUR BROTHERS. OUR FUTURE. Delta Sigma Phi Foundation’s Most Bold Fundraising Campaign

This campaign will be the most successful in our history, ultimately helping the Fraternity reach more undergraduates with the leadership training they need. Here’s how you can participate: 1. Give by credit card online at deltasig.org/give.

“Delta Sig’s leadership programs helped shape me into the man I am today.

Starting as a young and unsure undergrad, the Leadership Institute helped to challenge me as a young leader and instilled the values necessary to lead a chapter. The Presidents Academy worked to build on that foundation and connected me with other chapter leaders to form a national support system. Since graduating college, I’m working to give back to the fraternity as I serve in the USAF.” – Vincente Villareal, Texas State ’16

2. Give by check and mail to Delta Sigma Phi Foundation, 2960 N. Meridian St., Suite 190, Indianapolis, IN 46208.

3. Create a named fund that would exist in perpetuity.

4. Include Delta Sigma Phi Foundation in your estate plans.

WHAT'S IN MY BAG?

VICTORIA STANKUS DIRECTOR OF FRATERNITY SERVICES

We sat down with Victoria Stankus, Director of Fraternity Services, and Ry Beck, Director of Fraternity Growth, to find out what's in their bag.

When you travel, what is the one item you always take with you?

If I had to choose one item aside from work related necessities, it would have to be trail mix/nuts from Trader Joe’s. Have to keep the energy up and the hangry side of me at bay!

What’s the most rewarding part about your Fraternity Services position?

Oh gosh, how do I pick just one? Every day, the Fraternity Services team has the privilege of engaging with our various stakeholders.

The most rewarding part for me, however, is when I see a chapter working tirelessly to elevate their chapter’s membership experience – and they do this with the help of the National Office, their advisors, alumni, and campus-based professionals.

When we work together as a synergistic group, that’s when the spirit of fraternity is most prevalent and therefore makes my role rewarding.

How has the National Fraternity’s service to chapters evolved since you have been on staff?

Since joining staff in April of 2019, the Fraternity Services team has continuously assessed the needs of our chapters and our own areas of improvement. We since have focused on the following: 1. Creating a consistent and positive membership experience for all chapters.

2. Ensuring that our programs and resources align.

3. Financial stability for our chapters.

4. Advisor recruitment, onboarding, and continuous training.

5. New Member Education and Ritual Ceremonies.

6. Retention and Engagement of new and initiated members.

During this time, we have an exciting opportunity to think creatively about fraternity. We recognize that brotherhood won’t look the same, but it isn’t over and it’s still ever present. Our team is already strategizing how we will continue to offer our same services and add others to amplify the member experience moving forward!

RY BECK, UNT ’04 DIRECTOR OF FRATERNITY GROWTH

How has Delta Sigma Phi’s growth strategy changed since you have been on staff?

Our strategy has seen some exciting new additions in direction and tactics, but we’ve also built on the great network of previous staff and volunteers. If I had to narrow down our strategy to the areas that I think will have the most impact on our membership, it would have to be the level of data and the new technologies we are putting into the hands of our members. Chapters have never had as much readily available data on their membership health as they have today.

Having to plan 6-9 months in advance must be a little tricky. What is your go to item to keep you organized?

I think it’s important to keep everything digital and searchable. I use a few tools to stay organized, but the most important is my Outlook calendar. I block out time every Friday afternoon to map out the upcoming week, and I make sure long-term deadlines and reminders are entered for bigger projects.

What is one myth you hear time and time again about Fraternity growth?

Easily the most frustrating myth is the myth behind why people join a fraternity.

Rarely do great members join because of a rush shirt or a large event that “gets your name out there”. People will join because they formed a meaningful connection with a few members of your chapter.

Even better, people will join when they realize the friendships you helped them form have inspired them to be the best version of themselves.

When you travel, what is the one item you always take with you?

Hand sanitizer is a must when hand washing isn't an option.

While our original plan was to highlight Foundation Scholarship winners in this issue of The Carnation, we decided to delay our announcement until early August. This was due to COVID-19’s effect on the stock market. The scholarships awarded through the Foundation come from our endowment investment returns.

Since most of those funds decreased due to market loss, there were limited funds in early summer to distribute on our original schedule.

----------

You can now find the full list of scholarship award winners on our website at deltasig.org/scholarships.
