MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

J. McQuaid

ear 2000! It has such a fantastic ring to it! With the dawning of the new century (or new millennium, if you subscribe to the hype), Delta Upsilon is poised to enrich the lives of our brothers in ways unlike any in our prior 165-year history. Because of the work of the Fraternity's volunteer leaders, Undergraduate Advisory Board members, fine chapter officers, local alumni advisors, and the International Headquarters staff, Delta Upsilon will implement a number of dynamic programs and initiatives in the next year that will have long-lasting, positive impacts on our members. After exhaustive research and design efforts, the Fraternity has launched an exciting, new marketing campaign. The campaign materials are intended to be used by undergraduate chapters during their recruitment season and for the Fraternity's aggressive expansion efforts. The new Expect Nothing Less marketing materials include brochures and posters for chapters and a pamphlet to share with the parents of new members and prospective members. The pieces are highlighted in this issue of the Quarterly . You may recall that following the 1998 Undergraduate Convention and Assembly of Trustees, the Fraternity established two landmark policies affecting DU chapter life. The first of these was the policy on the Chapter Excellence Plan. In essence, the Convention and Assembly of Trustees mandated that the Fraternity leadership focus its efforts on ensuring that all DU chapters achieve defined Standards of Excellence. The policy further stated the recourse should a chapter struggle in its efforts.

The second policy established was the Delta Upsilon Alcohol-Free Housing Policy. This policy defines alcohol-free housing and articulates the Fraternity's Board of Directors' desire that all chapters voluntarily implement this initiative. The policy further outlines the conditions under which a chapter may be required to implement the Fraternity 's Alcohol-Free Housing Policy. On pages 12 and 13 of this Quarterly, you can read more about the alcohol-free housing movement. This issue of the Delta Upsilon Quarterly includes a "wrap-around." The message is simple, the Fraternity is committed to using the Delta Upsilon Quarterly as an effective communication tool for and about Delta Upsilon and its members. Further, your suggestions and comments about content and focus is strongly encouraged, and we would welcome any contributions you would offer that will allow us to continue to produce an exceptional magazine for the Fraternity. Finally, in the next few issues of the Quarterly, the Fraternity will begin to communicate information about the work of Fraternity leaders to form a comprehensive strategic plan. The Fraternity 's Board of Directors has received input and feedback from undergraduate brothers, members of the Undergraduate Advisory Board, alumni chapter and house corporation officers, and countless other DUs. Although the strategic planning process will continue well after it is formally presented to the Fraternity's membership, we hope you will be satisfied with the exciting activities included in the plan. In closing, the year 2000 marks an incredibly important period in the history of DU. We hope you will join us in our endeavors. Fraternally,

James D. McQuaid, Chicago '60 President, Delta Upsilon Fraternity P.S. Check out the Quarterly at www.DeltaU.org.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor: Thank you very much for adding my name back again to the mailing list to receive the Delta Upsilon Quarterly. It will bring back the happy times I spent in Kent and in the United States. I came to the U.S. in September 1953, an 18-year-old student who had just graduated from the "gymnasium" (high school with a strong accent on the classics, i.e. Latin and Greek). The farthest I had been abroad then was the Belgian city of Antwerp, just 30 miles from the Dutch border. The trip itself was exciting: 10 days aboard ship from Rotterdam to New York. After a fourday visit to the highlights of New York City, I took a night train to Kent, Ohio, where I was kindly received by those who later would become my DU Brothers. I had come to the States thanks to a Fulbright Scholarship which paid for my trip and my tuition. Senator Fulbright (Arkansas), later Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee of the U.S . Senate, had the brilliant and farreaching idea of using debts, repaid by European countries to the U.S ., for the granting of scholarships to young Europeans. This would enable them to study and live a year in America. Now comes Delta Upsilon Fraternity. The Kent State Chapter decided to grant to a Fulbright student free lodging in the chapter house. I gladly accepted this generous offer and when I was also given the chance to pledge DU, I immediately saw this as a tremendous opportunity and accepted wholeheartedly. I earned my dinner by washing dishes in a sorority house (Chi Omega), a very good deal indeed. I studied American Political Science, English, Speech, and Spanish. All these subjects have been very valuable to me to this day. The initiation ritual was an impressive ceremony in a church on a cold winter Sunday morning. My new brothers and I were smiling happily in black tuxedos with our new badges proudly hanging around our necks on blue and gold ribbons. Living in the chapter house helped me enormously because it helped me to integrate quickly and to lead the life of an American student to the fullest. I could also improve my English (American), and after three months, I thought and dreamed in English (American). At the end of the year, one of the brothers paid me a great compliment by saying that he had never thought of me as a Dutch boy, but that he always considered me as an American student. After a summer job, I set out to the West Coast. I hitchhiked through Kansas City to Los Angeles, and on to San Francisco.

DELTA U ON THE WEB @ www.DeltaU.org

From there I took a Greyhound bus back to Chicago where I stayed a few days with a cousin, then hitchhiked again back to Kent. The journey then was by train to New York and by ship back to the Netherlands. After this thoroughly happy, stimulating and intensive year at Kent State University and in Delta Upsilon Fraternity (September 1953 to July 1954), I studied law at Leyden University in the Netherlands. Subsequently I did two years of military service, learned Russian, married , and joined the Foreign Service. I worked in our Embassies in Belgrade, Copenhagen, Yaounde (Cameroun), and Warsaw. I then spent two years in Geneva with our delegation to the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, and returned home to become Private Secretary to Queen Beatrix (then Crown Princess) and Prince Claus. After that, I served in Madrid and in Paris. Then, at last, I was on my own as Ambassador in Seoul. I returned to The Hague and became Inspector-General of the Netherlands Diplomatic Service, during which time I travelled six months or more per year. I did return to the United States (New York, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Houston) without, unfortunately, having a chance to return to Kent, Ohio. I was Ambassador to Vienna from April 1994 until my mission there ended in July 1999. Looking back, I feel a tremendous gratefulness for the generous way I was received in the United States, not only through my scholarship, but especially through the strong Delta Upsilon bond that has always remained intact. I'm very happy that after 45 years, thanks to e-mail, the contact has been re-established. One thing is certain, I am and always will remain a staunch and loyal friend of the United States. Exactly what Senator Fulbright had intended. Yours sincerely, Joost van Ebbenhorst Tengberger, Kent State '57 Mas Sainte Anne F 26740 Marsanne (poste Sauzet) France

(Editor's Note: After several years of having lost contact with Brother Tengberger, we again learned of his address and restored him to the mailing list for the Quarterly. This is his gracious letter in response.)

of Florida!" __

hat was once just an idea in a college

freshman's mind - starting a fraternity from scratch - to what the Florida Chapter of Delta Upsilon is today, is truly a remarkable story. University of Florida student Daniel A. Weisman, Florida '00 wondered if it would be possible to start a brand new fraternity. He recruited his friends and people he had met while a student at UF in Gainesville, Florida, and asked them to join him in the effort. They were college men who were jaded with the Greek system. The other fraternities on campus tried to recruit them, but they were not favorably impressed. They believed that fraternities should stand for ideals. They did not believe the other fraternities were living up to their potential. "They weren't doing it right," said Patrick A. Sullivan, Florida '01. Dan, Patrick, and their friends wanted to start something new, something in which they could advance their own values. They wanted to create their own culture and their own brotherhood, one without hazing and discrimination. And, they did. On November 13, 1999, the Florida Chapter of Delta Upsilon was re-instated on the UP campus. It was the culmination of two and a half years of hard work to re-establish Delta Upsilon International Fraternity at the University of Florida - Gainesville. After working diligently to accomplish their goal of returning the DU charter, the newly initiated brothers were finally able to enjoy the fruits of their labors. It all started in the spring of 1997. Approximately 15 UF undergraduates met with about 20 area DU alumni and a representative from the International Fraternity. The meeting was a barbecue at the house still owned by the Florida alumni corporation to discuss the possibility of re-colonizing Delta Upsilon at the University of

DELTA U ON THE WEB @ www.DeltaU.org

Florida. Little did any of the attendees know it at the time, but history was made that afternoon. This meeting paved the way for what is now the newly re-instated DU FIOlida Chapter. "These guys are DUs," alumnus Roger Q. Austin III, Florida '79, said, when asked after that 1997 meeting what he thought about the men he had just met. "They just don't know it yet." The following summer the house underwent a $100,000 renovation, funded with pleasure by the alumni corporation. To get ready for fall recruitment, the International Fraternity sent Phillip A. Schott, Northern Colorado '96, then Director of Expansion for DU, and Leadership Consultant Daniel T. Kniss, Carthage '97. The core group intensely recruited additional UF students to join the interest group. There was an incredible electricity and energy on the part of the undergraduates, unaware at the time that they were forging friendships that will be with them for life. On November 8, 1997,60 days after their start as an interest group, the future DUs met the requirements and were re-colonized with 37 members amid the university's Homecoming activities. With this accomplishment under their belts, the determined group of students set their sights on their next goals : recruitment of even more men and fulfilling the requirements to receive the DU charter. The colony's first formal rush in the spring of 1998 yielded remarkable results: a 24-man pledge class, the third largest on the UF campus that semester. The following semesters brought more challenges, such as the creation of the full meal plan, further facility renovation which would enable more men to move into the house, organizing philanthropic events, the

development of a Constitution & By-laws, and more recruitment, to name a few. As the colony matured and its membership grew, the group gained increased recognition by the Greek system and the University of Florida. Through active participation and success in events such as intramural competition and other chapters' philanthropic activities, no one could ignore the Florida Colony of DU. The members became actively involved in student activities, such as student government, clubs, and the university's Homecoming celebration, one of the largest in the country. The colony won awards for both service and chapter excellence, won a blood drive, and raised thousands of dollars for a local charity. All the while, the group continued to pledge quality men and maintain a GPA better than the all men's average. Most importantly, this group of men embraced the Four Founding Principles of Delta Upsilon. In addition, they advanced the Florida Chapter's own Three Negative Beliefs: Non-Secret, Non-Hazing, and Non-Sectarian. When word came to the colony that the International Fraternity'S Board of Directors had approved the colony for re-instatement as a DU chapter, it was one more accomplishment in a long line of successes. The men worked diligently to organize the re-instatement, the largest event in the colony's history.

In his Charge, Brother Delaney, Florida '77, told the assembled brothers and guests, "To this day, my decision to join DU was among the best decisions of my life. I learned the lessons of friendship, management, socialization, leadership, networking, and finance. The friendships are eternal as they will be for you. When you need a friend, you will always have one." He exhorted the new chapter to remember its history, learn from it, and keep the ideals of Delta U. When the brothers took their Oath of Initiation and the Delta Upsilon International Fraternity Charter was presented to Matt Crist, Florida '02, by Fraternity President James D. McQuaid, Chicago '60, the sense of achievement these men felt was unmistakable. DU at the University of FlOlida truly has come a long way. From the beginnings in the late 1950s, to the successes of the late 1960s, from the difficulties of the 1970s, to the resurgence in the 1980s, from the closing of the chapter in the early 1990s, to the rebirth in the late 1990s - it truly has been a great story. The Florida Chapter of Delta Upsilon stands poised and ready to take on the challenges of the 21st century. It is a new beginning for DU in Gainesville, and these new brothers will canyon the tradition of Florida Chapter excellence. The brothers of the Florida Chapter thank the University of FlOlida, the Delta Upsilon Board of Directors, the International Headquarters staff, and the Florida alumni corporation. Each contributed a great deal of time, effort, and financial support to the reestablishment of DU at the University of Florida. There would be no Florida Chapter at UF today were it not for their help.

Adam Farni ,"n' â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ ;_~. ~otlhem n October 16, 1999, the Northern Arizona Colony of Delta Upsilon was presented its DU Charter by Chairman of the Board Scott A. W. Johnson, Washington '80, and with it the responsibility of chapter status. Receiving the charter on behalf of the new chapter was Golden C. St. John '01. Establishing a DU chapter at Northern Arizona University began with the vision and enthusiasm of DU alumnus Neal R. Duncan, Texas A&M '95. After Brother Duncan contacted IHQ about the possibility of an expansion project at NAU, a few more alumni were located in the Flagstaff area. Blian G. Ward, Bradley '91, and Michael O. Holpuch, Fresno '69, both agreed to help support the project. The dream became a reality on Saturday, October 16, when 15 members were initiated into the Northern Arizona Chapter of Delta Upsilon. The road to installation was a long and difficult one for the NAU Colony. The future of the colony was challenged when membership size and enthusiasm dwindled during the fall of 1998. The colony was able to recover with the assistance of the IHQ staff and the leaders in the colony. Through hard work and long hours the colony regained its status and sense of purpose on campus. Less than a year later, the colony met all the requirements for installation and was approved for chapter status during the 1999 summer meeting of the Delta Upsilon Board of Directors in Denver, Colorado. The installation weekend began on Friday, October 15, with Rite I of the Initiation Ritual. After Rite I was concluded, alumni and colony members gathered for dinner to reflect on their accomplishments, and to discuss the aspirations of the chapter in the near future. "From the time of our interest group back in the spring of 1996, to the day that we were colonized, to our installation date

DELTA U ON THE WEB @ www.DeltaU.org

now, we as a brotherhood have gone through many experiences, both fortunate and difficult. We have learned about the Greek system, about leadership, friendship, culture, and justice, and about the non-secret fraternity to which we belong," said colony president, Golden St. John. "Now, as we look to the future and remember our past, and realize our prosperous beginnings, we have a new philosophy of internal goal setting. When our brotherhood is as strong as it can be, everyone with a watchful eye will know that we are Delta Upsilon." The weekend concluded on October 16 with Rite IT of the Initiation Ritual in the Chapel of the Nativity. Serving in the role of Master was Scott A. W. Johnson, Washington' 80, Chairman of the DU Board of Directors. Brothers Duncan, Holpuch and Ward served as the Examiner, Chief Marshal and Chaplain, respectively. Facilitating the ceremonies from IHQ were Kris R. Robl, Kansas State '98, and Phillip A. Schott, Northern Colorado '96. The Charge given at the Initiation ceremony was by Jeffrey W. Sears, ArlingtonlNorthern Arizona '98. Brother Sears, a NAU graduate and former colony member, was initiated during a Model Initiation ceremony at the 1999 Presidents Academy. Brother Sears spoke about the importance of making a difference on the NAU campus and that the chapter image will guide them to prosperity. He congratulated the group for obtaining chapter status, and encouraged the men to be the leaders and role models on the NAU campus. Following Rite IT, area alumni, guests, and university officials gathered for the traditional flag-raising ceremony on the NAU campus. The weekend concluded with a reception to honor the newly initiated members and to recognize the outstanding support of the local alumni.

s everyone exhaled after holding their collective breaths, anticipating and/or dreading the possible effects of the Y2K bug, Delta Upsilon moved confidently ahead into the new century with the 2000 Presidents Academy and Recruitment Symposium. The attire for the weekend was the new Recruitment Symposium tee heralding that we, you, and everyone should EXPECT NOTHING LESS from Delta Upsilon.

This was the second Recruitment Symposium and was attended by over 40 chapter recruitment

representatives. Together with the over 75 chapter presidents in attendance, DU brothers demonstrated that they had accepted the challenge of the year 2000 and beyond. The focus of this year's program centered on a relatively new leadership theory: Helen Astin's (1996) Social Change Model, which is a valuebased model that concentrates on the three areas of individual, group, and society. Commonly referred to as the''7 C's Model," it discussed the values of consciousness of self, congruence, commitment, controversy with

DELTA U ON THE WEB @ www.DeltaU.org

civility, common purpose, collaboration, and citizenship. Team Mentors for both the 6th annual Presidents Academy and the Recruitment Symposium took the discussions to new levels as alumni volunteer leaders facilitated the weekend's programming. The enthusiastic participation of the undergraduates enlivened the discussions. Dave Maguire, Southern Illinois '73, was the James A. Garfield Keynote Speaker at the Opening Banquet on Friday evening. Brother Maguire challenged each of the attendees to look to the future while being confident that the ideals and founding principles of Delta Upsilon will be as

DELTA U ON THE WEB @ www.DeltaU.org

relevant to their future as they have been to DU's past. Recognizing that the technology of the future and some of the practices of the past will necessitate changes in Delta Upsilon operations, the love in the brotherhood and the steadfastness of the DU Ritual will remain unchanged. Thomas F. Durein, Oregon State '92, excited the attendees by introducing Delta Upsilon's new recruitment and expansion materials. There are exciting posters, overview brochures, colorful brochures for expansion distribution, and parents information, plus smaller, business-card size folders ... all emphasizing that in Delta Upsilon we expect nothing less than the best.

Following the Opening Banquet, Dr. E. Bernard Franklin, Kansas State '75, shared his presentation that, as always, challenged the men of DU to think and move ahead. Saturday evening's alumni reception gave area alumni an opportunity to meet the Board of Directors, alumni volunteers, and undergraduates. Following the reception, attendees were excited to learn that the Special Event for the evening was an ice hockey game. The Indianapolis Ice excited the crowd with a 5-1 win over the Huntsville Channel Cats. Three DUs competed in a home run contest at intermission with the entire Fraternity loudly cheering them on. Sunday morning saw the wrap-up of the weekend's sessions and the enthusiasm of the

Presidents Academy and Recruitment Symposium attendees, returning to their respective chapters with ideas and challenges to grow their chapters. The success of these programs, and the positive reaction from its participants, emphasize that these programs should remain an integral part of the on-going education of our undergraduate chapter leaders. The Fraternity is indeed fortunate to have the grant funding provided by the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation to make programming such as the Presidents Academy and Recruitment Symposium possible. In turn, the Foundation is grateful to the many donors who invest their resources in the future of Delta Upsilon. Delta Upsilon - Expect Nothing Less is an appropriate tag line for our brotherhood as we move confidently into the new century and accept its challenges.

s the Y2K bug has come and gone, many men's fraternities are now beginning to look upon another day of reckoning. Beginning with the fall 2000 academic year, three men's fraternities and several Delta Upsilon Chapters will be adopting policies that prohibit alcohol in the chapter house environment. Phi Delta Theta, Phi Kappa Sigma, and Sigma Nu fraternities have made organizationwide decisions to eliminate alcohol from their housing by July 1 of this year. The DU Chapters at Kansas State University, Iowa University, CulverStockton, and Carthage College have already begun implementation of alcohol-free housing. Many Sigma Nu and Phi Delta Theta chapters have also elected to begin the process early and many of these chapters have seen remarkable success. A great deal of media attention has chronicled the excitement over new-found brotherhood, recruitment success, and academic performance of those chapters. Such exuberance was nearly unfathomable in March of 1998 when Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Nu made the decision that alcohol would be banned from their campus houses. Those announcements came several months before fraternity pledges at Louisiana State University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology died of alcohol poisoning, sobering reminders of the fear many fraternity leaders and college presidents face, and damning evidence to those who blame the Greek system for much of the problem. To Sigma Nu and Phi Delta Theta leaders, the noalcohol policies are an attempt to avert such catastrophes and to revitalize the declining Greek image. "Every time we turned around, alcohol was at the root of the problem, whether with poor relations with

alumni, universities, or neighbors, deteriorating houses, declining membership, or low academic performance," said one alumnus of Phi Delta Theta's governing board. The ban is expected to revive core values of scholarship, brotherhood, and personal growth. But questions still remain how the policies are playing out on campuses where alcohol-free housed fraternities compete for pledges with fraternities that haven't banned alcohol. The North-America Interfraternity Conference, whose members include most men's fraternities, supports such efforts but also notes that a single dry chapter house won't solve all the problems of alcohol abuse on campus, because students who want alcohol will find ways to get it. But, what is the alternative? When it comes right down to it, the students are just being asked to obey the law. Phi Delta Theta, Phi Kappa Sigma, and Sigma Nu chapters have until this summer to make the change. Phi Delta Theta's volunteer officers, though, want to move quickly. They promised $20,000 to any chapter that went "cold turkey" at the beginning of the current school year. The money could go toward house renovations and state-ofthe-art computer equipment. Many chapters boasted other achievements, too: their alcohol-free chapters' grade point averages increased significantly and they have raised thousands of dollars for different philanthropies. As the first six months have passed since four Delta Upsilon chapters elected to implement alcohol-free housing, DU is also proud to say that there have been some great successes already. The Iowa Chapter, the Kansas State Chapter, the Carthage Chapter, and the Culver-Stockton Chapter have realized many achievements in the last few months. The chapters have been

DELTA U ON THE WEB @ www.DeltaU.org

able to show that, while this policy is challenging in today's collegiate environment, the quality of life within the chapter house has improved, which in turn has improved the overall Delta Upsilon experience for the chapter members. The Iowa Chapter has recently begun renovations of the chapter property in preparation for the upcoming recruitment period. The chapter has used the new and improved chapter property to both motivate the current brothers and to show potential members that chapter house living is a clean, productive, and enjoyable part of the collegiate experience. The alumni continue to look for ways to improve the chapter property to make it more appealing to today's college student. The chapter has benefited from the semester of transition. At the onset of the semester, the Iowa school newspaper referred to the chapter as "pioneers of the Greek system."The chapter members knew the expectations that were placed upon them by the alumni, which, in turn, was a motivation for the success the chapter has seen. The chapter, with an increased focus on friendship and brotherhood at a time when fraternities at Iowa were being spotlighted for alcohol-related accidents, was a shining light in the Iowa Greek system. Along with the tangible renovations, the chapter was able to improve its recruitment process and made great strides during the last month of the semester. The chapter gained four pledges before the spring semester began, and it anticipates its best recruitment effort in recent years.

Chapter President Ryan P. Rivera '01 asserts/With the compliance and the leadership of all brothers who lived-in last semester, we do not expect any future problems to arise from our alcohol-free housing decision." The Kansas State Chapter members have also seen worthwhile improvements to their chapter experience. An immediate impact was the appeal to the parents of the chapter's rushees. Parents viewed the decision as one that showed great responsibility and also viewed the change as a public display of the chapter's priorities. Positive responses also came from the Kansas State faculty. Women's fraternities/sororities were quick to voice their support, in keeping with the new National Pan hellenic Conference policies prohibiting women's groups from being guests at fraternity houses when alcohol is present. The chapter members were concerned, however, that freshmen would be skeptical about joining a fraternity where they had heard "alcohol was prohibited." Once the chapter explained that it was an alcohol-free property, and not a "prohibition" experience, many men saw the benefits of a dry property. Consequently, the chapter was able to recruit over 40 new members. Another major challenge for the Kansas State Chapter was to gain the acceptance of the older members of the chapter who did not wish to embrace the alcohol-free housing atmosphere. As more and more of the older members have begun to understand and accept the policy, many of the younger members, and those who were solidly against it, are beginning to come around as well. Chapter President Corbin G. Navis '02 said, "We are one of the first houses on campus to go dry, so we are a leader in that respect. It also means that we are under a microscope, the other fraternities and sororities are eagerly watching to see if we can successfully pull it off." The Kansas State Chapter has made use of their adoption of alcoholfree housing to help in the renovations of the original chapter property. Built in 1959, the chapter house was the site of a $1.5 million renovation that added room for an additional 18 residents. At

the recent re-dedication, members of the alumni chapter and undergraduate chapter were present to take part in the festivities. The alumni are pleased with the way the chapter has responded to the challenge of being an alcohol-free chapter house on a campus where alcohol is prevalent. The Carthage College Chapter is continuing its leadership of our Fraternity by extending its two consecutive Sweepstake Awards into a decision to become an alcohol-free chapter property. The chapter members decided to adopt the Fraternity's Alcohol-Free Housing Policy primarily because they felt it was not only logical, being on a "dry" campus, but it was the right thing to do. Along the way they have realized the many challenges that this new policy presents to their chapter. The Carthage brothers currently occupy a large floor in a residence hall. The policy has done much to cut back on the number of parties and large gatherings on the DU floor. However, the chapter has realized that a problem remains in trying to keep those members who are legally able to consume alcohol from having alcohol in their rooms. The policy is doing what it was designed to do at Carthage: eliminate the larger problems which are derivatives of alcohol on the property. The chapter reports that those large parties which may have been loss prevention risks have vanished. The Culver-Stockton Chapter is implementing the Alcohol-Free

Housing Policy. Alumni and undergraduates are excited about the decision to utilize the new outlook to improve both chapter operations and update the chapter's furnishings. With the recent decision, little is known about what effect this decision will have on the chapter, but most members seem hopeful. The chapter is poised - with high academics, great public relations, and great loss prevention plans to utilize this decision to further the chapter's success on campus. The Fraternity will continue to work with and monitor this newest addition to the list of DU alcohol-free housing chapters. With the Fraternity's newly redeveloped Chapter Excellence Plan, many more Delta Upsilon chapters may be adopting alcohol-free housing policies. With a new reporting policy, each chapter must submit a report documenting the chapter's accomplishments and fulfillment of Delta Upsilon standards. Should the chapter not accomplish these requirements, and should alcohol be determined to be at the root of the chapter's problems, the chapter may be required to adopt the DU Alcohol-Free Housing Policy. As DU moves into the new century, know that fraternities and sororities are being challenged to deal with alcohol in chapter life, and Delta Upsilon is working to make its chapters more and more successful. While one idea will not solve all of our problems, AlcoholFree Housing is certainly a positive tool that can help.

Ohio University Colonization

n the spring and fall of 1999, a successful expansion effort at Ohio University was conducted by Coordinator of Expansion & Recruitment Matthew D. Wilson, Guelph '98, and Leadership Consultant Dominic K. Greene, Oregon '99. DUling the spring 1999 term, as DU was working with the Ohio alumni and Ohio University administrators to secure a return of Delta Upsilon to OU, an enthusiastic and motivated group of men approached DU with hopes of bringing the old gold & blue back to the Athens campus. The men in the interest group quickly organized, began meeting weekly, and developed an organizational structure. Delta Upsilon's return to the Athens campus was aided by the dedication of Richard B. Abel '67, C. David Frey '61, L. Alan GoldsbelTY '66, Ronald L. Hart '60, James J. Krager II '82, and Anthony J. Zangardi '73, among many others. Using the interest group as a solid foundation and supported by committed Ohio Chapter alumni, Delta Upsilon exploded onto the Athens campus with an all-out expansion effort starting on September 29, 1999. The initial effort continued in late-September through October, by which time the group had grown to 35 members. Officers were chosen and trained, and committees were formed. The group held a retreat, and continued to study DU's founding principles and history. At holiday break, membership had reached 45 men. On a cool, crisp afternoon on January 29, 2000, Delta Upsilon was re-colonized at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. In a ceremony conducted at the Galbraith Chapel,

Southern Illinois - Edwardsville elta Upsilon is excited to be expanding to Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville in the new year. SlUE, developing from a commuter campus to a residential campus, is located in Edwardsville, about 20 minutes northeast of St. Louis. Delta U will hit the campus at the beginning of some great developments as the university expands residence halls, has committed land on campus for Greek housing, and is expecting the Greek community to be a key component of student life at SlUE. The university administration continues to be extremely helpful and supportive of DU's expansion efforts, and will be a great ally in the development of a new DU chapter. Delta Upsilon will take the Edwardsville campus by storm in early-February of this year, recruiting members, educating officers and members, and developing operations and programming. Edwardsville area alumni are forming an advising team for the soon-to-be undergraduate group. Alumni meetings began during site preparation visits to the campus in November, 1999. The colonization ceremony is tentatively set for mid-May with installation as a DU Chapter in October, 2000. If you would like to be part of the alumni advising team at SlUE, please contact Matt Wilson at the International Headquarters for more information.

Delta Upsilon International Fraternity Condensed Statement of Financial Position •• June 30, 1999

eIta Upsilon International Fraternity has ended its fiscal year and continues to stand on firm financial ground as we enter the year 2000. Financial highlights of the 1998-99 fiscal year include: II II II

a 5.8% increase in the assets of the Fraternity to $3.61 million; a 5% increase in non-investment related Revenue to $1.05 million; Expenses managed within budgeted expectations.

The Fraternity's condensed statement of financial position and condensed statement of activities as of June 30, 1999, are highlighted in this report. The condensed statements are based on the audited financial statements of the Fraternity as of June 30, 1999, which are available from the International Headquarters.

General Fraternity Activities Undergraduate fees, which include pledge, initiation, and member fees, were $438,325. This total was 5% higher than the previous year due to an increase in the number of men pledged and initiated by our chapters. The Fraternity received a $89,606 grant from the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation. This grant allowed the Fraternity to reduce the fees charged to undergraduate members for educational services, including the Leadership Institute and the Presidents Academy. A $196,599 transfer from the Permanent Trust Fund was made for educational initiatives in the current year. Due to continued efficient management by the Fraternity's professional staff, total operating expenses for the year were under budget. The staff and committee responsible for planning and executing the Leadership Institute and Presidents Academy did an exceptional job, once again, in providing quality programs under budget. The Quarterly expenses were down $12,000 from the previous year due to reduced production and printing costs, as well as fewer pages per issue. Professional staff and services were slightly under budget again this year, primarily due to reduced travel costs. Finally, chapter and member expenses, office expenses, officers, committees, facility, utilities, and maintenance costs were all on target.

Always Before Us•••

James A. Garfield, Williams 1856, 20th President of the United States.

t always stirs our pride and stretches our expectations of ourselves when we visit a

site that has been named in honor of a Delta U brother. When we read of the restoration of President Garfield's home, we were reminded of many buildings, athletic facilities, airports, schools, and other sites of prominence that have been named after members of this grand fraternity.

Lawnfield, the home of President Garfield at the National Historic Site in Mentor, Ohio, underwent the first stages of renovation in 1982 and just recently the project was completed. We are grateful to the Western Reserve Historical Society for loaning us these Images. Another brother who has been immortalized in brick and mortar is Lester B. Pearson, Toronto '19, Prime Minister of Canada and President of the United Nations General Assembly. Countless schools and educational institutions across Canada have been named after Brother Pearson. One of the most spectacular reminders of the esteem in which he is held is the Lester B. Pearson Toronto International Airport. 28

Another Canadian brother who remains before those who study at the University of Toronto is John P. Robarts, Western Ontario '39. The Robarts Library, the main 路 campus library, is named after Brother Hobarts.

Brother Lester B. Pearson, whose legacy of public service remains as all inspiration to DU brothers everywhere.

Delta Upsilon has always had brothers who excel in athletics and give of their time and resources to promote the competitive side of DU brotherhood. One such brother is Dr. Allan A.
