Standing proudly before brothers and guests at the 62nd National Convention in Sacramento, Calif., to accept the prestigious recognition from the Fraternity, it quickly became apparent why Dexter Horne, Centre ’13, was a candidate for the William H. Shideler award. Along with serving as Delta chapter president, Horne’s leadership was exhibited in his service as recruitment chairman and philanthropy chairman. Outside the chapter, he constantly displayed loyalty to his college and community in multiple roles, including Student Government Association speaker of the house, Politics Department senior representative, Centre College Admissions senior interviewer and Lightbulb Learning Center mentor. Horne's eyes are well adjusted to the spotlight. During his collegiate career, he was a staple on the Dean's List, voted Homecoming King, selected as one of two students to provide the keynote address at Centre's annual honors convocation this past May and received the Paul A. Elfers Omega Scholarship from the Phi Kappa Tau Foundation. With all the individual accolades, Horne is quick to credit those who have helped him accomplish such success. Which is exactly why during his speech at this year’s Brotherhood Banquet, he accepted the Shideler Award on behalf of Delta chapter. In the chapter’s distinguished history, he is the first to win the award and realizes it wouldn’t have been possible without all the men who have come before and along with him. "I owe so much of my success to those men who build me, oppose me, challenge me, but most importantly, accept and love me," Horne said.
