Kappa Phi Delta: Investing in Students The leadership of the Kappa Phi Delta Alumni Association faced a difficult task recently: the sale of the Walnut Park house that had served as a home to the fraternity. KPD, which was associated with ESF for more than 50 years, disbanded a few years ago. The brothers sold the house back to Syracuse University, which had owned it previously. Then they had to decide what to do with the $113,000 in proceeds from the sale. The fraternity’s bylaws stated the money would go to the college, but the alumni had the right to choose exactly how to make the donation.
“We wanted to perpetuate the name of Kappa Phi Delta. We wanted to leave our mark on the college,” said Ted Otteni ’93, who lived in the house when he was a student in the Faculty of Environmental Resources and Forest Engineering. “We could have supported a renovation project, but buying a room and putting a plaque on a wall with KPD on it wasn’t what we wanted. We wanted to invest in the students.” Otteni and his fraternity brothers eventually decided to establish a scholarship to help undergraduates with financial need. The scholarship is earmarked for students who “mirror the spirit of KPD” by being

well-rounded individuals with good academic records and a history of extracurricular activities and work experience. Otteni, now a highway engineer with Clough Harbor Associates, said his fraternity days allowed him to establish relationships with older alumni who helped him in his job search. Later, he returned to the KPD house as a mentor to younger students. “There was a brotherhood we all felt because we all felt a devotion to the fraternity,” he said. “And we all had the same devotion to ESF.”
