DU Quarterly: Volume 116, No. 1

Chairman's Message

Overcoming Recruitment Obstacles W

hen I was an undergradu ate it was called "rush." Today it' s ca lled "recruitment."

Whatever it's called, it has gotten tougher. In the last five years the number of men pledging Delta Upsi lon has decli ned from 1,804 pledges in 1992-93, to 1,447 pledges in 1996-97 .

While some of that decline may be attr ibutable to fewer DU chapters, eve n DU 's current chapters are pledging fewer men. The average number of men pledged per chapt er declined from 16.4 in 1992-93 to 13.2 in 1995-96 .

Seve ral factors have contributed to this decline in pledging: public perceptions of fraternities; studen ts ques tioning the relevance of fraternities; more and varied recruitment restrictions imposed by universities and IFCs; and, DU chapters' self-imposed barriers. Go od DU chapters seek to address the publ ic percept ions and student questions about fratern ities in their recru itment efforts. The Fraternity also is trying to address the more global aspec ts of these two concern s. But, the restrictions that universities and IFCs impose and our chapters ' self-imposed barriers on recruitment are far more troubl ing. These are limitation s that we can and should overcom e.

The Delta Upsilon Internation al Fraternity imposes very few restrictions on chapters ' ability to recru it potential new members. First, recruitment is limited to men who are, or will be at the time of pledgin g, enrolled at the chapter's host institution . Second, chapters may not use or serve alcohol or eve n have

Chairman Johnson

alco hol present during any recru itment activities. DU has no other limitations.

Over the next two issues of the Quart erly I plan to addre ss the limitations or barriers to the recruitment process. My hope is to educate our general memb ership about the issue and serve as a voice of encourage ment to bring about change in our recruitme nt strategies.

University & IFC Imposed Restrictions Uni versities and local IFCs seem to be cre ating more and varied restriction s on fraternity recruitment. Among the restrictions we see are: ( I) not allowing freshmen to assoc iate with fraternities until after the first seme ster or first academic year - called "defe rred rush;" (2) restricting the "bid" process to only certai n times of the year; (3) limitin g recru itment activities to "formal rush" periods; (4) requirin g "mandatory house tours" for potential new memb ers before allowin g them to join a fraternity; (5) impos ing "quotas" on the number of men a fraternity can pledge durin g a year; (6) barrin g a fraternit y from recru iting as a sanction for violation of university policy; (7) forcing potential new members to register for rush or pay a fee; (8) not allowing fraternities to deli ver bids to potenti al new members in person ; (9) restricting the number of bids a potential new member can receive; (10) not allowing varsity athlet es to join fraterniti es; ( I I) not allowin g informati on about fraternities to be distribut ed during certain times of the year; and, ( 12) not recognizing fraternities as student groups. Each of these restrictions burdens at least one and in some instances a majority of DU chapters.

Delta Upsilon Leaders Meet in the Queen City he fall meeting of the Board of Directors was replete with several vital issues to tackle.

Held in Cincinnati, along the mighty Ohio River, in many ways the discussions and actions at the Board's fall 1997 meeting will have a profound impact on the future initiatives and direction of the Fraternity.

T

In an ever-growing information age, the technology needs of the International Fraternity are significant. During the meeting, the Board engaged in a discussion of the Fraternity's existing computer technologies and analyzed a technology investment plan.

The plan (segmented into four categories -- membership maintenance and fundraising management, financial accounting, Internet applications, and desktop publishing) articulates time line and cost projections to enhance the technology capabilities of the International Fraternity and the Educational Foundation.

After careful consideration, the Board authorized to move forward on the project.

Financially speaking, the Fraternity's Board continues to take steps to ensure Delta Upsilon is fiscally capable of meeting technology and programming commitments for the future. During the meeting, Fraternity Treasurer 4

T. Teal Dakan, Kansas '78,

delivered a presentation which encompassed the whole of the Fraternity's finances. Discussions focused on the needs for the future and the financial resources to meet them.

Efforts continue to further develop a comprehensive member education program.

The program, The Star Program, was presented at the 1997 Leadership Institute and it is anticipated that it will be in pilot format by Fall 1998.

Finally, as reported in this issue of the Quarterly, the Fraternity's Board is committed to understanding and, if necessary, acting on the matter of alcohol use and abuse in Delta U. With the appointment of the McQuaid Commission, DU is poised to make value-based decisions on the issue of alcohol use that will involve the Fraternity's broad membership.

Each of the 13 members of the DU Board contributes time and energy to the betterment of the Fraternity.

If you would like to receive information about serving on Delta U's governing Board, please contact Nominating Committee Chairman John E. Esau by writing, calling, faxing, or e-mailing the International Headquarters.

House Corporation President The McQuaid Commission will focus its efforts to study and understand the effects of alcohol use on the Fraternity and its membership. Once the study is complete, the Commission will propose recommendations concerning methods to address problems associated with alcohol nse.

"It is vital that the Fraternity and its leaders carefully consider all of the factors and challenges associated with alcohol and its effect on DU members," declared Commission Chairman McQuaid. "We have an historic opportunity to involve DU's broad constituency on a matter that clearly affects that broad constituency. I look forward to the healthy discussions and deliberations the Commission members will undertake."

The Commission will file its final report in June 1998.

Brother DUs who wish to offer their observations and insights on the issue of alcohol use and the work of the Commission are encouraged to share those views with Chairman McQuaid by sending all communiques to the International Headquarters.

DU Alumnus Places the Diffusion of Liberal Culture on Your Doorstep Every "Morn ing n a profession popularly derided for its carping and insensitive practitioners, David Lawrence, Jr., Florida '63, represents a forceful rebuttal to those who would criticize any aspect of contemporary journalism. Brother Lawrence is the publisher of The Miami Herald,

I

arguably one among a handful of important daily newspapers in the United States today.

He is also chairman of the Miami Herald Publishing Company, which produces El Nuevo Herald, the largest Spanish language daily newspaper in the country. Between the two Heralds, Brother Lawrence's papers have a Sunday circulation of 600,000 .

"What we're trying to do, frankly, is reflect all of the worlds our readers live in."

His entire professional life of 35 years has been dedicated to the newspaper business, and the calling he has had since he was 15 years old, "to truly make a difference to better people's lives every single day. You have such an opportunity [in newspapers] to right wrongs or to inspire, to educate , to inform . . . it's a marvelous thing to be able to do.

"I loved to read as a child . .. I've always been curious and here's a business where people actually pay you to ask questions and learn things. Really, the great adventure of life is learning all your life, and I'm in a business that makes that particularly possible ."

D. Lawrence 8

DELTA UPSILON QU,IRTERLI'IJ ANUARY 199R

To a small extent , Brother Lawrence is concerned that the rhapsodic description he gives to his origins in the world of newspapers will sound corny or trite. He need not worry -- he could not have reached the zenith of his profession without a fundamental passion for journalism's process and product.

His talent, incredible energy (he regularly keeps a 60-hour work week) and focus have been reflected in the achievements he has earned. Upon completion of his undergraduate studies at the University of

Florida, he was named the "Outstanding Journ alism Graduate." Throughout his career, he has accumulated a total of eight honorar y doctoral degrees, and among national honors, has received the Ida B. Wells Award for "exemplary leadership in pro vidin g min orities employment opportunities in journalism."

Any contact with Broth er Lawrenc e provides you with a clear sense of the grea t value he attaches to ethnic and racial div ersity in the workplace and in life. Certainl y his newspapers must reflect and serve the rem arkable meltin g pot of Miami 's popul ation , but we ima gine his commitment to equality of opp ortunity would be evident regardless of his profession or location. It is no coincidence that the majorit y of award s he's recei ved from organizations use term s such as, "lifetime ach ievement in diversity," " national human right s," and "a major contributor to the cau se of racial diversity."

His personal thoughts on the issue s of race and ethnicity were part of what attra cted him to memb ership in Delta Upsilon. Brother Lawrence recalls, "DU was an ea rly fraternity to have black memb ers. I always admired them [the chapt ers] for doing that. I think it was so wise; so right."

With a personal conviction to prom ote equ ality and diversity, Southeastern Florida provides an optimal atm osphere for Brother Lawrence. "The extra thing we have here in Miami, clea rly," he obse rves, "is an enormous commitment to Latin

"The whole world is changing and changing rather dramatically, so we're only the preview of the future in the United States of America."

America and the Caribb ean -- larger than any newspap er anyw here. Understandin g Latin America and the Caribbean is very much at the so ul of who we are and what we want to be."

Among exce ptiona l leaders there is a nearly instinctive co mmitme nt to principl es and values that serve to guide conduct, deci sions, and relationships with othe rs. His uny ielding covenant with core values is what is most impre ssi ve about Brother Lawrence. He is an attenti ve, dedicated husband and father who has j ust celebrated his 34t h wedding anniversary.

His five children range in ages from 13 to 33, and he lists his famil y as his No. I passion in life.

Professionall y, he bristles at the view that jo urnalism is not guided by values , but by the perpetual effort to se ll more newspapers. Brother Lawrence believes tha t such an outlook describ es "a lousy way to live. I don't want to be a cynic in anything I do. I truly see evidence every single day of people who are help ed by the newspaper.

"We don 't write the lead headl ine to ' sell newspap ers.' The lead headline in the Miami Herald this morning was about early childh ood educa tion. Now, we 're not going to 's ell' extra papers out of this; what we' re trying to do, frank ly, is reflect all of the worlds our readers live in."

Brother Lawrence also feels stro ngly about the values among peopl e who work in print journalism . "The best people I've ever known work in the [newspap er] busin ess," he asserts.

"Not all of them, but I think so many of them are wo nderful people of the highest kind of values ."

To those who aspire to a career in journalism, values are at the found ation of the most important advice Broth er Lawrenc e offers.

"Make sure your basic values are all there," he counsels. "A newcom er to the profession ought to have a commitmen t to 'being fair, getting it right, bein g specifically accurate.' Curiosi ty as a basic value, compassion .. . is very consistent with good j ournalism -- to be thou ghtful and sensitive . Be aggressi ve at the right times. If you Il EI: rA UPSIL ON QUARTERLr/JANUARY 199X

tradition of innovation here [at the Miami Herald]," he said. "A Business Mond ay section started here ; they 're now all over the country. A Neighbors section started here . . . that is zoned local news sections. ÂŁ1 Nuevo Herald is a pioneering venture . People come from all over this country to find out how we do it. Innovation is very much at the soul of what we do."

keep your values relatively straight and simple, they 'll stand you in good stead for eve rything. " Values amon g individuals extend to the common characteristics that Brother Lawrence sees in the great new spapers of the world. The best ones , he says, "Are fearlessly honest, willing to spend the resources of staff and space to give people real quality. They are also fair and care about their own community. They 're aggressive in the pursuit of wrongdoing, but also aggres sively trying to write about people and things that work in the community."

Technological advancements continue to give every organization the capacity to change and innovate at mind-numbing speed . For The Miami Herald, inno vation is linked to its identity, and Brother Lawrence is intent on preserving an atmosphere that is not only open to new ideas, but encourages them. "There' s a long 10

International editions of The Miami Herald blanket Latin America, and closer to home , Brother Lawrence sees the most promising growth in readership of ÂŁ1 Nu evo Herald. "The fastest growin g minority group in the country is Hispanic, and by the year 2007 or so, there will be more Hispanic people in this country than African American ," he said. " So, we [Miami] are simply getting with the future earlier than other people . . . The whole world is changing and changing rather dramatically, so we're only the preview of the future in the United States of America."

In other area s of newspaper product ion in the future , he sees evolution to more precisely meet

"They [fraternities] need to get away from the sense that drinking is important to having fun."

the needs and reflect the interests of readers.

"One of the things we're doing," he said, "is something we call 'Micro-Local.' While Neighbors' was a great innovation for 1977, those sections are now going to be much, much, much more finely zoned. Again, so that people in my neighborhood and your neighborhood will be able to know a lot more about their neighbors -- what's going on, kids' scores, honor rolls, etc."

One area of technological capacity that Brother Lawrence does not believe will have a significant short-term impact is the availability of newspapers online. He noted, "We have approximately 20 full-time people who put the Herald and the El Nuevo Herald online. Having said that, there's no evidence that people want to read newspapers online generally. What online is particularly good for is very specialized kinds of information, or semi-instantaneous information.

"I think for a long time to come newspapers on newsprint are going to be very much a part of people's homes. People like to pick up something and touch something and feel something and turn the pages and choose what they want to read."

With any look ahead comes a natural inclination to take stock of where one has been. In Brother Lawrence's experience, he attaches significant value to his membership in Delta Upsilon. "The people that I was with in DU," he recalls, "were thoughtful, fine, caring human beings who represented at least some version of diversity and pluralism, which is what college is supposed to be about, I think - learning about yourself and other people.

"If you grow up in a family and you're suddenly living in a fraternity house, it teaches you about living with a different set of people; how you accommodate yourself to other people; how you get your own space; how you give some space to other people. That's what the world is about, human relationships: how to build them, how to keep them, how to deal with very different kinds of people."

While DU has had such a positive impact on the development and growth of undergraduates for 163 years, the greek movement as a whole is held in low regard by many journalists today.

Brother Lawrence has some thoughts on steps all

chapters ought to take to improve their standing in the media. He believes, "They [fraternities] need to get away from the sense that drinking is important to having fun. In my experience (and I have a glass of wine from time to time, or a beer) drinking has practically nothing to do with having any real fun in this world. So, one of the things I'd do is get that attitude instilled in people -- it's just not important to be blitzed.

"The people that I was with in DU were thoughtful, fine, caring human beings who represented at least some version of diversity and pluralism, which is what college is supposed to be about. " "The other thing I would say -- and I think fraternities and sororities have made a good deal of progress -- be aggressively open in seeking different kinds of people for members. College life and fraternity life ought to be about reaching out to other people and that means not only people who are like yourself, but people who are a great deal different. You find out how much you have in common." Such a view constitutes what our DU founders had in mind when they made "The Diffusion of Liberal Culture" one of our brotherhood's Four Founding Principles.

During a time when so much of our culture seems unanchored, and the people in it in search of some permanence in their lives, we can look to a person, a DU brother, like David Lawrence.

An uncompromisingly principled man, whose life reflects the high values he holds.

Recruitment & Expansion News fter receiving approval from the Fraternity's Board of Directors in late-October, the Florida Interest Group was recolonized on the University of Florida campus in Gainesville on November 8,1997.

The blue and gold of DU has been absent from the University of Florida since 1993. A recolonization effort was conducted this past fall by Florida alumni and the International Fraternity to re-establish the Gator DUs. During September, Fraternity staff and Florida alumni were able to recruit 38 outstanding interest group members.

A Visit to the Indiana Chapter "Renovate it

by David S. Alani, Indiana '85 he Indiana Chapte r of Delta Upsilon has had a stro ng history and prese nce on the Indiana Universi ty campus, located in Bloomi ngton, Indiana. Since the early 1900's , this chapter has recruited and developed an alumni population with over 900 living alu mni, most of whom have lived in the present chapter house since it became DU's home in 1927.

T

Over time, many things can evo lve, and through this evolution of cha nge, adaptability must be addressed. It see ms about every 10 years, the socio/economic attit udes of students encounter varyi ng degrees of movement.

UPSILON QUARTER L I'IJA NUARY 199X

Several years ago the Indiana Chapter fell prey to these shifts in attitudes, and unfortunately the mem bership lost touch with the Four Founding Principles of Delta Upsilon. In add ition, our alumni board mem bers were almost too late to prov ide assistance, but with the support of the alumn i board, assistance fro m the Internat ional Frate rnity, and a strong focus on the membership, the chapter was given another chance to survive.

The Indiana Chapter has been blessed with strong alumni invo lvement in our alumni board for many years, and this strength allowed the current alumni members to make ap propriate and positive decisions.

In reviewing the options available to the members of the alumni boa rd, several areas of need were assessed. First, the chapter membership had to be increased with imp roved awa reness of what memb ership in the Delta Upsi lon International Fraternity meant. Second, for ma ny years the alumni board operated withou t an advisory board.

With the assis tance of the Intern ational Fraternity, an undergradua te adviso ry board was created, with a focus on providing guidance , suppo rt, and leadership to the chapter members.

Third, alu mni support and involvement with the chap ter members was almost non-existent and had to be improved.

Fourt h, the chapter house, designed by an Italian architec t, had absorbed too many years of cos metic repairs and was in dire need of renovation.

Faced with these cha llenges , the alumni board essentially had two options: ( I ) requ est that the International Fraternity suspe nd the chapter's charter and shut down the chapter hous e, allo wing the alumni board to sell the prop erty, or (2) take a chance and inves t in the chapter house and the exist ing membership . The board dec ided on a renovation of the physical plant and a re-commitment to the memb ers. Th ere were three esse ntial ingredients to the succes s of our renovation. First, our alumn i board had equi ty in the property; seco nd, there

The centerpiece of the Indiana Chapter's formal living room. were committed mem bers on the alumni board ; and third, there were committ ed memb ers in the chapter house . The success of the renova tion was depe ndent upon all three of these ingred ients coming together at the same time.

This also was not the time to depend upon the alumni for their fin ancial support. The chapter hou se was in very

poo r co ndit ion, although struct ura lly sound . Rather tha n depend upo n the alu mni to support the cau se, the alumn i board preferred to have the alumni suppor t a ca use that is positive, well struc tured , with orga nized planning for the future.

(crown moldings, baseboard, casing, doors, etc .) were done in oak . The entrance and the stairway were redone in oak (treads, risers, newel posts, and spindles). In addi tion, all new drywall cei lings we re added, with ca nned lightin g and suspended chandeliers, new wallpaper, and a fresh coat of paint on the heater registers, thro ughout all of the comm on area roo ms.

Finishing touches inclu ded five Persian rugs, brass do uble bowl faucet fixt ures in the ladies' restroom, with a marble countertop and oak ca binet base, ma ny framed prints, silk planter unit s, and a hand -m ade oak fireplace mantel (fro m floor to ce iling) with a hand made stained and etc hed glass Delta Upsilon coa t-of-arms inserted in the ce nter of the mante l.

The first test came when school started with the Fall 1997 rush program. The chapter members were able to rec ruit 27 pledges for their fall pledge program , and they are planning to recruit Indiana Chapter President Jeff T. Gibbs '99 another 25 pledges in the Spring 1998 recrui tment and Alumni Chapter President Dave Alani program .

pose in front of the Indiana Chapter's living room centerpiece.

The alumni board conducte d a survey of the chapter members and loca l alumni and it was deci ded, based upon the input , that the co mmo n areas of the chapte r house needed to be totally reno vated (entrance, foyer, stairway, living room , co nfe rence room, pool roo m, ladies rest room , the rec roo m, and the dining room ). These are the areas of the chapter house most visible to potential members, parents, gue sts, and alumni. It was also decided that the renovation had to be done with the fines t materia ls, utilizin g the best craftsme n ava ilable.

In spite of the reduced memb ership numbers ove r the last severa l years , the alumni board was able to obtain financing from a local bank, with the renovation com mencing in June of 1997 .

T he alumni board hired a decorator, and with her assistance, the project started taki ng shape . Items that were included in the ren ovation were hand- made mission sty le chai rs, and hand-made oak dining roo m tab les and chairs (with the Greek DU letters carved into the backs of the chairs) . All of the woodwork

In addi tion , the alumni board started mail ing its alum ni newsletters quarterly rather than semi -

etched glass Delta Ups ilon coat-of-ar ms.

Alumni who contributed to the project have bee n recognized by affixing a brass plaq ue on the back of one of the dining room chai rs, wit h the ir des ired inscri ption. Many of these donations came fro m alumni who most of the alumni board members have either not met or do not know, which was very encouraging .

The test for the alumni board came duri ng our Homecoming eve nt held in October. The turnou t of alumni was grea t and the feedback on the renovation project was excellent. Current ly, the alum ni board is interview ing several architec tura l firms to ass ist in co mp leting the rem aining interior ren ovations, des igning conce ptual plan s for an additio n to the back of the house and co nceptual pla ns for a fro nt plaza.

Upo n comp letion of those ite ms, the alumn i board along with its sister corporation, the Wrang ler Foundation (the India na Chapter's charitable arm) , are planning to con duct a large scale capi tal cam paign . T he focus of alumni suppor t for this cam paign is to co ntinually enhance the living quar ters for our curre nt and future chapter members , prom ote the fund am ental values of the Fraternity, and to adva nce the ed ucational ac hievements of eac h chapter member.

T he alumni board always encourages alumni to vis it the chap ter house.Their feed back is very important for future dec ision making. If the alum ni are exci ted about the future of the Ind iana Chap ter, then their invo lveme nt and suppor t wi ll follow.

If your alumni board is facing the same critical situatio n the Indiana Chapter faced last year, it is recommended that yo ur alum ni board gat her a strong co ntingent of alumn i who are willing to be invo lved, and recru it and develop a strong memb ersh ip in the chapter.

Central Florida's Winning Tradition Continues The Fall of 1997 started off in Central Florida fashion as the chapter's fall rush produced 30 great DU men. The chapter is back on the rise as DU took Delta Gamma's Anchor Splash by storm placing first in Sync Swim and King Neptune, a crown the chapter has not lost in four years.

Also, DU hosted its 3rd Annual Lip Service, which is a Lip Sync Competition designed to raise proceeds for the Russell Home, a local disabled children's shelter. The competition and simultaneous canned food drive were complete successes, raising over 5,000 cans. Finally, capping off a successful semester, DU was paired with the women of Pi Beta Phi for the UCF 1997 Homecoming celebration.

Congratulations to the DU team for sweeping all of the major events winning first place in overall Homecoming activities for the third time in four years. The chapter would also like to congratulate Edward DeAguilera, '96, as he was named Delta Gamma's Man of the Year for his faithful service and dedication to the sorority.

The University of Oregon is located in Eugene, Oregon. With a population more than 115,000, Eugene offers many of the advantages of a larger city. An extensive network of bike and jogging trails cover the city. Eugene is less than two hours from Portland, skiing and mountain areas and the coast. The University of Oregon serves an estimated 14,000 undergraduates and 4,000 graduates. Graduate programs of interest are law, business, college student personnel (OSU), counseling, education and journalism.

Approximately 1,500 students are affiliated with the Greek Community at Oregon. There are 10 sororities (all housed) and 17 fraternities (12 housed).

Two Greek Advisors work closely with the Panhellenic and Interfraternity Councils, Greeks Against Rape, Order of Omega and all 27 chapters.

Obstacles (continued from page 2) Most of these restrictions are intended to "level the playing field" for all fraternities on a campus. In reality they favor and perpetuate a few large chapters. I have also heard these restrictions justified as a means to protect "vulnerable and impressionable" freshmen. What nonsense. I suspect some of these restrictions are meant to keep university-owned housing fully occupied. Whatever reason is used to explain them, these kinds of misguided and paternalistic rules discourage students and even blatantly prohibit some classes of students from joining fraternities, prevent DU chapters from effectively rushing, and threaten the vitality of all fraternities. I know of no university or college that imposes similar restrictions on any other student group. They are obviously anticompetitive and many violate our members' rights to freedom of association and freedom of speech.

Delta Upsilon International Fraternity strongly opposes any kind of restriction on fraternity recruitment.

Some chapters burdened by these restrictions have found creative ways to overcome them. For example, "deferred rush" has not kept the Carthage Chapter from successful recruitment efforts. The Carthage Chapter members are involved in activities in which first year students participate; they get to know the top freshmen at the Kenosha, Wisc., campus; and they invite them to participate in chapter activities. When the freshmen are "eligible," the DU Chapter at Carthage has a head start on its recruitment.

Similarly, even though the University of Victoria does not recognize Greek organizations as student groups, the Victoria Chapter has been very successful recruiting new members by becoming involved in the leadership of most other student organizations on campus. DU is one of the best known student groups on the campus in Victoria, British Columbia, despite the lack of official recognition.

Work to Rid Your Greek System of Recruitment Limitations Of course, for most of these university and IFC imposed rules there

is no legitimate way around them. We do not encourage our chapters to purposefully violate university or IFC rules. Delta Upsilon's policy has always been to cooperate with and observe the rules of the host institutions at which our chapters are located. Our chapters can only overcome these recruitment restrictions by abolishing them. The Fraternity regularly advocates to universities and IFCs the problems with these restrictions and seeks to abolish them. Alumni influential with the university or college can help lobby university officials to reconsider these restrictions. Undergraduate chapter officers should take the lead on their campuses to challenge IFC imposed restrictions. The IHQ staff would be happy to help your chapter in any campaign you undertake to rid your Greek system of these kinds of limitations on fraternity recruitment.

1997 the Delta Upsilon International Fraternity paid special recognition to one of its shining lights and an outstanding brother and community leader, C. Esco Obermann, Iowa '29. Local alumni, DUs from surrounding states, undergraduate members of the Iowa Chapter, representatives of the International Fraternity, and friends gathered to share with Brother Obermann the occasion of this award. Alvan E. "Ed" Porter, Oklahoma '65, a member of the DU Board of Directors, made the special presentation on behalf of the International Fraternity.

attendance tonight got to see a fine example of a hard working alumnus who dedicated himself to the promotion of higher education and the values of Delta Upsilon."

In his presentation, DU Board Director Ed Porter noted that "Brother Obermann has served his country with distinction and honor.

He has served his state and the University of Iowa with his talents and resources. He has served his Fraternity by setting an example of style and discipline. Because of Brother Obermann, the world is a better place."

appreciate receiving this award because it may help create an audience for the exchange of ideas or points of view...and for teachers who love to listen as well as stimulate."

He stated that one of the most significant events in his college experience was his affiliation with DU. "As an Iowa farm boy, growing up in a limited enrivonment, I had a lot to learn about a college campus and about how that affects other young people in a group-living situation.

It includes numerous illustrations from actual group sessions and provides principles and guidelines for working in a wide range of settings .

Mal ekoff lists the following skills as bein g important to develop in orde r to work effecti vely with adol escents in groups. o Creating an atmosphere that supports adolescents ' strengths rather than deficiencies;

Structuring a group "so that the whole person is invited to participate ...[not] only the troubled or broken, or hurt parts ;" and, @) Tapping into humor and playfulness as sources of spontaneity and connection.

Hamilton Chapter of Delta Upsilon Celebrates 150th Anniversary

By Jay Newmark, Hamilton '98 s the Delta Upsilon Chapter at Hamilton College celebrates its 150th anniversary, we are focusing on a renewal of fraternal life.

A

In the 1990s, the Hamilton Chapter has faced many challenges brought about by the college administration and its changing views on fraternities. The most devastating move by the administration was the decision to ban off-campus housing, thereby disallowing fraternities to occupy and use their houses. This adversity has helped our chapter to redefine what it means to be a Delta Upsilon brother.

As we start on our next 150 years, we want to stress the relationships forged among our brothers. These relationships are the heart of our Fraternity and mean more to our brotherhood than any material possession. We have learned that a house or social setting does not make a fraternity; it is the bonds of friendship and brotherhood that justify our existence as an organization.

Alumni News "Gene" Romano '49, Robert W. "Bob" Olwine '53, William N. "Bill" Yeomans ,55, John V. "Jack" Paxton '59, and Thomas A. "Tommy" Thompson '73.

The weekend was organized primarily

by Chapter President Jason A. "Jay" Newmark '98 who served as the Master of Ceremonies for the luncheon, and Chapter Secretary Glen P. Manjos '98.

Alumni Bill Yeomans and Tommy Thompson spoke at the event, as well as Hamilton's Director for Alunmi Affairs Jennifer Potter Hayes, and Alumni ' Director from the International Fraternity's Board Gregory H. Mathews, Florida '70. Brother Mathews is lead counsel, litigation & expense management, for CoreStates Financial Corp. in Philadelphia.

The two Hamilton DU alumni, Brothers Yeomans and Thompson, both expressed satisfaction with the renewed effort on the part of the chapter to make the organization a visible and viable member of the community.

Jennifer Potter Hayes spoke about the positive direction that DU has taken after losing its house, a direction characterized by increased cooperation with the administration and the community.

DU Board member Greg Mathews, after flying in from Philadelphia, gave a motivating speech, focusing on brotherhood and interfraternal relations.

He offered brothers advice on a number of topics, and was a welcome addition to the festivities.

Although the football team (which has 34 DU members, including co-captains Kyle C. Bennett '98 and David N. "Dave" Martucci '98) lost to nationally ranked Amherst, the weekend was a resounding success. Both undergraduates and alumni were thrilled at the turnout and the commitment to revitalize chapter-alunmi relations.

The 150th anniversary was only a start for the Hamilton Chapter. The Fraternity plans to initiate an alumni newsletter slated for twice a semester, as well as creating chapter-alumni events once a semester. The work of members at Hamilton College has paid off as Delta Upsilon is clearly seen as the strongest, most involved fraternity on campus.

Following this initiative, Hamilton College's Delta Upsilon Chapter, which is now the Fraternity's oldest chapter, celebrated its 150th continuous year of existence during Hamilton's alunmi weekend (homecoming weekend). A tremendous amount of effort on the part of the undergraduate members allowed the weekend to be an outstanding success as well as a starting point from which to fortify ties with our alunmi.

Weekend activities included a welcoming reception, a celebration for the football game, and an informal luncheon after the game at which several alunmi spoke.

The luncheon was the biggest draw, attracting 30-40 young alunmi and a few festive older DUs including F. Eugene

(L to R) Vanya Kasanof '98, Tommy Thompson '73, Greg Mathews, Florida '70, and Jay Newmark '98.

Nebraska Plans 100th Anniversary Celebration entennial anniversary plans are taking shape as Delta Upsilon prepares to mark its 100th year of existence at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln.

The Nebraska DU Alumni Association and the undergraduate chapter encourage all alumni and families to join in the celebration scheduled for Friday and Saturday, October 16-17, 1998. The weekend coincides with Homecoming activities and the Nebraska versus Kansas football game.

On Friday, October 16, the new Quarry Oaks Golf Course will host an all-Dl.l/spouse golf outing. Quarry Oaks is conveniently located between Omaha and Lincoln, off Interstate 80 and south of Mahoney State Park. A half-day's worth of tee times are being secured.

Friday afternoon activities are also

C

being planned for non-golfers. Several era-based gatherings will be held Friday evening, and are being designed to give attendees time to reminisce and to become reacquainted.

On Saturday, the Cornhuskers take on the Jayhawks in football, and efforts are being made to secure an appropriate number of game tickets.

All will gather Saturday evening for a reception and sit-down celebration banquet at Lincoln's Cornhusker Hotel.

As with Friday, additional activities are being arranged for those not attending the football game.

Due to contractual commitments and the high demand of lodging and football tickets during Homecoming weekend, an early response is greatly encouraged. A minimal block of rooms is now being held at the Cornhusker.

NU alumni should watch the mail for

detailed hotel and weekend registration information.

To help add to the festivities, the Nebraska DU Alumni Association is soliciting memorabilia such as pictures, souvenirs, cards, and letters from different eras. Memorabilia will be reproduced and prominently displayed in upcoming Centennial Celebration mailings.

Please make plans now to attend and celebrate this momentous centennial event with your DU brothers.

Questions regarding the weekend and the gathering of memorabilia may be directed to: Nebraska DU Alumni Association President Bob Lannin at 402.391.6777, or Dick Campbell, member of the local and International Fraternity's Board of Directors, at 402.423.4556.

What's New from the DU Educational Foundation

Destination: De Moon

Status: Now Boarding primarily through an Intern et connec tion to each student's personal co mputer. Delivery of the program in this way will give each brother the opportunity to take advantage of the resource s, support , and uniqu e education that comes from interaction with 2,500 undergraduate brothers across the contin ent , and 60,000 alumni brothers around the world .

Implementation of this program at nearl y 90 DU chapters is in itself as dauntin g as a trip to the moon. That is why the Fraternity's Board of Directors has authorized the creation of a Director of Leadership Education, a new full-time staff position based out of the Indianapolis Headqu arters. The searc h is currently on for a candidate who will shepherd the Sta r Program to widespread use, and the Educational Found ation has agreed to raise the major ity of funds needed for this essential position .

Bringing the Star Program to market constitutes an exiting challenge for the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundati on as well, as we are being called upon to provide

n effort to "take all of our chapters to the moon " was the metaphor used in a discu ssion at the fall 1997 International Fra ternity Board of Directors meetin g in Cincinnati. It was a powerful and inspirin g ima ge for me, because it captured the scope of a project that I belie ve is vital to the continued exis tence and future growth of our brotherhood .

The project, called The

A

Star Program fo r Leadership Develop ment, wo uld serve to

make each undergraduate brother 's personal grow th the top priority in e very Delta U chapter across No rth

Americ a. Whil e that may sound like the primary goal for all of our chapters, it is not. On too many DU campuses, the first commitment by our chapters is to preserve and build a reput ation based on providing socia l contacts a nd a full social calendar for its memb ers. At these chapters, parties are the top commitment, rath er than the grow th and development of eac h brother.

The emphasis of our co mmitment to each DU pledge and broth er must change. It must do so for hund reds of reason s, but the most important is this: as many as half of our chapt ers are not fulfilling the mission that got this greatest-of-all fraternities started 163 years

the fuel -- the financia l resources -- to assist in the Fraterni ty's lunar mission.

We raised a total of nearly $280,000 in the year that ended June 30, 1997, with no grant request for the Sta r Program.

Thi s year, we must raise $400,000 (an increa se of nearly 43 %) to fund all of the programs adequately; including a $77 ,000 Phase I grant for the Star P ro gram (see Campai gn Priorit ies box below).

If you sense some ge nuine excitem ent for the future of DU , and the impact that new programs will have upon it, your perception is correct. The need is urge nt, however, for financia l support at all levels from our alumni and parents. Our Director of Leadership Education position must be funded immediately, before any further progress can occ ur. We're headed for the moon, and we need you to climb on board.

Fraternally,
