From the Eminent Archon, Joe Stuhrenberg: My name is Joseph Stuhrenberg, the newly elected Eminent Archon (EA) for the 20152016 term. It is my true honor and privilege to be given the opportunity to lead this great chapter, the most successful and prestigious chapter on campus.

We were awarded the Advancement in Philanthropy and Service Award for Fraternity and Sorority Life by the USC Interfraternity Council earlier this year. The award is largely an affirmation of the incredible work of Jamie McClement and the success of the David Simone Softball Classic. David pledged SC Delta in the fall of 2012 and has been undergoing cancer treatment for nearly two years. Between the inaugural event, held in 2014, and this year's event, held in April, the chapter has raised over $30,000 for David and his family.
