TRIANGLE’S RACE TO SUCCESS | INDIANAPOLIS
2019
WELCOME Welcome! I am so excited for you all to be here in my hometown of Indianapolis. There is much to see and do here. We have great sports teams, outstanding restaurants and bars, and amazing attractions. It is my sincerest hope that you enjoy Indianapolis as much as I have. Our agenda for this convention is quite busy. We will be handling legislation, hearing updates on the status of the fraternity, learning about how to improve the fraternity, and socializing with brothers from around the country! Since we last gathered, the fraternity and its partners have been busy. The fraternity has launched new programs, focused on the growth of our chapters, and invested in new tools to make us more efficient. The Triangle Education Foundation has been busy helping the majority of our chapters establish Chapter Endowment Funds (CEF) to help with the educational needs of the chapters. The Triangle Building and Housing Corporation has taken on new properties and taken on management of several chapters. Together, we are building One Triangle in tangible, meaningful ways.
will be lively and efficient.
We have our work cut out for us with ten different legislative proposals to consider. Information about these proposals was sent in early April and several webinars were conducted to obtain feedback and answer questions. We trust that our legislative work
We will also spend time celebrating our chapters accomplishments and honor several brothers into two new classes for the Wall of Fame. In the midst of all this, we will have educational sessions, feedback sessions, discussion with our brothers, and fun! Finally, I want to share that National Convention has become one of my favorite Triangle events. I have met some of my best friends at National Conventions. I get to see brothers from across that country that I have not seen in years. I get to see our brotherhood in terms of national footprint rather than our local experience. I get to see new friendships being formed that will last a lifetime. I get to see all of us working together, in one place, for the betterment of Triangle. This is truly a special event and I hope convention becomes one of your favorite events too. I hope you have the best time here Indianapolis at this 79th National Convention. Enjoy yourselves and enjoy the experience of coming together as One Triangle! In F, S, C & T, Brian Jarman pur01 National President

CHECK IN & CHECK OUT at the Hyatt Regency are at 3 p.m. and 11 a.m., respectively. EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS will be held in the Hyatt Regency’s meeting spaces. Please be sure to check the educational session description for room locations. EVALUATIONS are essential to the program presenter and to Triangle, as the results will be used to determine future educational programming. Please provide feedback for each educational session using our paper evaluations which will be available in each session room. You may return your completed session evaluations to the in-session volunteer, the program presenter, or to the registration desk. The overall Convention evaluation will be available electronically immediately following Convention. EXHIBITORS will be with us throughout the week in the Regency Ballroom Foyer. Please stop by to say hello, to learn more about their services, and to thank them for their support of Triangle. The following exhibitors will be available; FIRST®, TriangleConnect, GreekBill, Plaid, Triangle Education Foundation, and Triangle Building & Housing Corporation.
LEARNING OUTCOMES are listed in the educational program descriptions and provided by the program presenter. Please keep these in mind as you select, participate in, and evaluate each educational session. NAME TAGS should be worn at all times during Convention. They are your “meal tickets” for the Active President Breakfast, Legislation Luncheon and College Nigh Banquet on Thursday and the Past National President’s Breakfast, Wall of Fame Luncheon, and Closing Night Banquet, Wall of Fame Luncheon, and Closing Night Banquet on Saturday. Registrants were required to indicate their participation in these meals on their registration form in order for us to have accurate meal guarantees. If a name tag is lost, please check at the registration desk to see if it has been found or to receive a new one. QUESTIONS may be directed to Triangle staff or key volunteers. Staff members and volunteers will be at the Convention Registration during the hours listed in each day’s schedule. REGISTRATION is located in the Hyatt Regency Ballroom Foyer and will serve as the Convention check-in area as well as the Convention information hub for the duration of Convention. See the daily schedules for detailed Convention registration hours. TOWN HALLS are similar to educational programs, but provide a more informal atmosphere that allows for a dialogue between the facilitator and participants.

KEYNOTE: BETTER FRATERNITY, BETTER YOU
Thursday • 9:00 - 10:00 a.m. • Regency Ballroom A-D Sponsored by Triangle Education Foundation At a time when people are calling for a “culture change” in the fraternity and sorority community, it’s hard for the student leaders to figure out exactly how to fix the issues or understand the complexity of the problems. What are we really trying to change? Why does change feel so difficult within our communities? How do we create a better fraternity experience? The answer is quite complex and quite simple. Until we engage and challenge the members to higher expectations, we cannot expect our communities to improve. This keynote will be interactive, fun, focused on research and theory and provide participants with a whole different way of thinking. We can create better communities but the change starts with YOU.

ALUMNI ENGAGEMENT: THE MEN, THE MYTHS, THE LEGENDS
Concept A-D Jeff Hughes, jeff@triangle.org Effective alumni engagement is like an urban legend. You’ve heard of it but have yet to see it for yourself. Chances are, it’s because your chapter is going about it the wrong way. Learn the elements to debunk such tales and how to expand your alumni support system.

CHANGE: THE MONSTER UNDER THE BED OR THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL?
LYNSY KARRICK-WIKEL Owner, Lynsy Leads lynsy@lynsyleads.com
Discovery A Lynsy Karrick-Wikel, lynsy@lynsyleads.com Many organizations and individuals are afraid of change. We often live by the phrase “We’ve always done it that way”. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to grow or improve as a person or as an organization if we don’t break free from that philosophy. In this session we will explore ways that we are being held back by our own traditions, how to look at our practices with a critical eye, and how to reduce the anxiety we feel regarding change.

HOW TO WIN AT FRATERNITY RECRUITMENT
Discovery B Divante Hamilton, dhamilton@deltachi.org Kenny White, kwhite@deltachi.org Tired of feeling like nothing you do is bringing in new members? This session will teach members various methods such as effective conversation skills, branding and marketing techniques, crafting a social media plan, and devising a strategic plan for a year-round system. No longer will you feel lost, because this session is going to give you everything you need to win at next year’s recruitment!

Concept A-D Lynsy Karrick-Wikel, lynsy@lynsyleads.com Do better, be stronger, do more, BE FIRST…when does it end? Healthy competition can serve as great motivation at times. When it comes to our life’s journey, however, we should never use others’ to benchmark our own. Through battles with depression and the need to be perfect (in everyone else’s eyes), Lynsy struggled (and failed) to climb to the top of her academic, social, and professional circles. It wasn’t until a friend dropped one hard-hitting piece of advice on her, that Lynsy’s entire outlook on life changed. With laughter-filled stories of struggle and success, Lynsy will share how she finally stopped competing in everyone else’s race and became the champion of her own.
A VISIT TO NEW ZEALAND
Discovery B Don Knebel pur65, Donald.Knebel@btlaw.com Don Knebel pur65, the current Chair of the Triangle Education Foundation, who writes a weekly column on international travel, will talk about his recent visit to New Zealand, a country like no other, which provides important lessons for all of us. The presentation will include many photographs of this extraordinary land and its people and will allow time for questions.
WALK IT LIKE I TALK IT: MAXIMIZING YOUR PROFESSIONAL PRESENCE DURING THE JOB SEARCH
Discovery A Nicki Rowlett, nrowlett@deltachi.org Divante Hamilton, dhamilton@deltachi.org Are you looking in increase your professional presence? Though there are many positive aspects of Millennials’ and Generation Z professionals, we are often labeled as impatient and lazy by our professional counterparts. Professional presence is a key aspect to maximizing yourself during a job search. Join us as we discuss resume development, interview strategies, and professional dress. This session is intended for young adults who are expecting to search for a job within 18 months. A good first impression is the most important aspect of professional presence – join us to explore what a good first impression looks like for you!
ALL THINGS FRATERNITY: HISTORY, CLAIMS, POLICY & PRACTICE
Studio One Dr. Lori Hart, @drlorihart This session will provide a 30-year history lesson of fraternity and sorority risk management. We will intersect history with fraternity and sorority claims analysis and the “new normal” of fraternity policy (NIC Alcohol & Drug Guidelines). All of this leading to the impact of the current student practice around managing risk.

MIKE MAYER wis99 Co-Founder, President at Meliora Cleaning Products Education: BS, Mechanical Engineering, University of Wisconsin-Madison, MBA, Northwestern University - Kellogg School of Management Initiated: 1999, University of Wisconsin - Madison Biography: Mike started deconstructing his toys since before he can remember, which logically led to studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. Mike spent over a decade in New Product Development in areas ranging from office supplies, medical equipment, and plumbing products at GE Healthcare, Kohler, ACCO Brands, and Elkay Manufacturing. He then went on to get his MBA at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, which led him to work in global supply chain strategy at Grainger in Chicago before coming on to join his wife, Kate Jakubus’ vision of making “Meliora” a household word. Created from a seemingly innocent school project of Kates, Mike was excited to see her idea grow into something more. The first real test of Meliora Cleaning Products’ was their first product - Laundry Powder, which removed blood, sweat, and dirt from a flag football tournament on the first wash. From that, Mike agreed with Kate - she might have something here worth sharing For the past 6 years, Mike and Kate been focused on a triple-bottom-line approach to business - considering their impact on the people and planet around them while also running a profitable company. He also had the opportunity to join IIT’s Stuart School of Business as an Adjunct Professor in Social Entrepreneurship this past spring.

JESSE F. CORE ps34 (1913-1993) Retired Vice President US Steel Corporation Education: BS, Mining Engineering, Penn State University Initiated: 1934, Penn State University Family: Wife— Margaret (Ann), Children— Margaret, Mary Katherine Experience: Jesse Core, entered Chapter Eternal at the age of 80 on November 29, 1993. Core was a Distinguished Member of the Society for Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration (SME) and an honorary member, Legion of Honor Member and Erskine Ramsay Medal recipient of the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Engineers (AIME). He was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 1981. Core was a native of Ford City, Pennsylvania and graduated from Pennsylvania State University in 1937 with a degree in mining engineering. He was elected a distinguished alumnus of Penn State in 1966. While still in college, he began work as a coal miner with Hillman Coal and Coke Company. In 1938 he joined Pittsburgh Coal Company as an engineer, rising through the ranks of chief mining engineer and divisional engineer. He joined Buckeye Coal Company in 1947 as chief engineer of coal mines and later served as chief engineer for Island Creek Coal Company in Holden, West Virginia. In 1951 he joined the Frick District of United States Steel Corporation as district mining engineer, advancing to chief engineer and general superintendent of the Frick District. In 1958 he was named vice president in charge of coal operations for U.S. Steel Corporation, including operations in Alabama, Colorado, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Utah and West Virginia. He retired in 1976 and became an adjunct professor of mining engineering at Penn State. His citations for both honorary membership in AIME and for the Erskine Ramsay Medal emphasized two major hallmarks for his career: promoting mine safety and assisting younger engineers to develop their full potential. Under his leadership, U.S. Steel developed a well-respected, comprehensive coal mine safety program. The lead article in the Wall Street Journal for January 19, 1973, cited U.S. Steel and Core for establishing the best safety record in underground coal mines. Core continually stressed that a safe mine was also a very productive mine. He was also known to be a strong mentor and an excellent role model for young professionals. This was manifested not only at the corporate level, but also by his service as an active member of the Old Timer’s Club, which gives yearly awards to outstanding seniors in mining engineering at many of the country’s leading universities. His assistance as an adjunct professor at Penn State is another example of his desire to help younger engineers. He was active in many professional societies and groups, including the SME Coal Division of the American Mining Congress and was a past president of the Coal Mining Institute of American and of the Mine Inspectors Institute of America. He was co-founder and first chairman of the Keystone Bituminous Coal Association, a member of the National Mine Rescue Association, the American Iron and Steel Institute, and the Rocky Mountain Coal Mining Institute. He was a registered first-grade coal mine foreman. Core was the king engineer who was interested in many phases of engineering. This interest quickly translated into a love of railroads and railroading and the history of coal mining, geology and Native American art. Core donated his collections of minerals and paintings of mining scenes to the Penn State’s Earth and Mineral Sciences Museum. Core was active in the Boy Scouts of America, chairman of the Catholic Committee for Scouting for the Diocese of Pittsburgh and received the Silver Beaver and the St. George Awards for his service to Scouting. He was appointed to President Carter’s Commission on Coal at Penn State. Core was married for 51 years to Margaret, who predeceased him in 1992. He has two daughters and three grandchildren.
LYLE G. HASSEBROEK wis60 Retired President CH2M HILL, INC. Education: BS, Civil Engineering, University of Wisconsin-Madison Initiated: 1960, University of Wisconsin Family: Wife— June, Children— John, Deborah Experience: In a career spanning almost 33 years, Lyle G. Hassebroek has been instrumental in developing newer and better systems for wastewater treatment and hazardous waste disposal. A 1963 graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison in civil engineering, Hassebroek joined CH2M HILL, Inc., a small consulting engineering firm in Corvallis, Oregon, the same year. Hassebroek joined CH2M HILL’s Seattle office in 1965, and moved into positions of increasing responsibility, becoming regional manager of that office in 1978. While in Seattle, Hassebroek organized CH2M HILL’s first environmental sciences work, including its first water quality laboratory. He also helped develop improved waste treatment systems for several Washington cities and developed water quality studies for area watersheds
26
LYLE G. HASSEBROEK (biography continued) In the mid 1970s, Hassebroek returned temporarily to his home state of Wisconsin to direct a wastewater treatment and sludge utilization program for the Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District. This program, which uses sludge as fertilizer for local farmers, has served as a model for cities and utilities across the nation. Hassebroek was promoted to CH2M HILL’s Northwest District Manager in 1980 and Eastern District Manager in 1983, the latter appointment taking him to Atlanta, Georgia, where he was responsible for company operations in 22 states. He became active in CH2M HILL’s hazardous waste services which have included projects involving the EPA Superfund Program and the DOE Environmental Restoration Program. In 1990, after 27 years with the company, Hassebroek became president of CH2M HILL, Inc., headquartered in Denver. As president, he was responsible for the overall operations of a consulting engineering firm with more than 4,000 employees in over 50 locations throughout the U.S. Lyle retired in 1996 following a long and extremely productive career. The scrapbook created by coworkers emphasized his mentoring, giving encouragement and guidance with genuine interest in each individual. One of the firm leaders said “a person can learn skills for being a top notch engineer but leadership must be learned as well as earned and implemented with the heart.” This was Lyle’s strength. Before and after retirement, Lyle welcomed continued connection to the University of Wisconsin and was honored for his work on “Institute for Environmental Studies-Board of Visitors 1995–2000.” Also, the College of Engineering presented an award to him as a member of “VISION 2000 Committee.” After retirement, Lyle and high school sweetheart/wife June Ann moved back to the Seattle, WA area where their grown son and daughter had remained during their moves for CH2M Hill. The protection, beautification and enjoyment of the out-of-doors is important to all of Lyle’s family. Long-time friends encouraged Lyle to step in as President of the Bellevue Botanical Garden Society. Both Lyle and June Ann love gardening and the Society was eager for his management skills as well. Under Hassebroek’s leadership, the Board created a Mission Statement, developed the Trillium logo and installed many of the leadership methods that worked well at CH2M HILL. Returning to Triangle reunions and reaching out to “brothers” has been welcomed and heart-warming. A registered professional engineer in seven states, Hassebroek was a member of the American Public Works Association, the Water Pollution Control Federation and Chi Epsilon National Civil Engineering Honor Society. He and his wife, June Ann, are natives of Wisconsin and have two grown children and four grandchildren.

ROBERT M. DAVIDSON pur61 Retired Founder & President Davidson & Associates Education: BS, Chemical Engineering, Purdue University, MBA, Business Administration, UCLA, JD, Patent Law, George Washington University Initiated: 1961, Purdue University Family: Wife— Janice, Children— Elizabeth, Emilie, John Experience: Bob was born and raised on a farm in upstate New York. He enrolled in Purdue in 1960 and became a Triangle brother in 1961. After graduating with a degree in Chemical engineering in 1964 he began his career as a patent examiner in the US Patent office.
