Chairman's Message

Our Diverse Board A

Chairman Johnson

few weeks ago, I was meeting

with an alumnus about the Fraternity 's strategic planning process. After some discussion, the alumnus was curious about my role as Chairman of the Board. "Now, do you work full time for the Fraternity out of Indianapolis?" he asked. Some days, it may feel like it, but in fact I don't. I am a volunteer. I live with my family in Seattle where I practice law full time. All of the Fraternity's Officers and Directors are volunteers, as are many other DUs who "work for" the International Fraternity, serving on committees or as faculty at the Fraternity 's educational conferences. Each of these dedicated DUs devote many hours helping Delta Upsilon to Build Better Men. Although the Fraternity is blessed with an exceptional staff that helps the Board set direction and manages the day to day operations, the Fraternity could not function without the tremendous contribution of time that these alumni make. In addition to the two undergraduate directors elected by the Undergraduate Advisory Board, the Fraternity'S Board of Directors includes 11 alumni directors elected by the Assembly of Trustees. The four Officers who are members of the Board -- the President, Chailman of the Board, Secretary, and Treasurer -- are elected to one-year terms. The remaining seven alumni directors are elected to staggered two-year terms. The Fraternity 's Nominating Committee, most recently chaired by John E. Esau, Kansas '78, has sought to maintain a healthy diversity among the alumni directors. Although occasionally there may be two directors who are members of the same chapter, the Nominating Committee strives for "chapter" diversity, nominating members with different chapter affiliations and different chapter experiences. The Nominating Committee also seeks "generational" diversity. Currently the Board includes at least one member from each decade from the 1990s to the 1950s. The Nominating Committee also wants to maintain our "national" diversity, DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY/SUMMER 1998

including members from Canada and the United States. This past year we were fortunate to have both an alumni director and an undergraduate director from Canada -- Rees M. Jones, Manitoba '67, and Matthew D. Wilson, Guelph '98. Most impOitant of all, however, is the "professional" diversity among the alumni members of the Board. Delta Upsilon, like most not-for-profit organizations, benefits greatly from the advice and counsel of individuals trained and experienced in a variety of professions. The Fraternity's Treasurer has typically been a DU with an accounting or finance background. The Board today includes DUs who are in the insurance industry, law, and business. The Board also has had DUs who are in higher education and are involved in student affairs. The Fraternity also has benefited from directors employed in technology fields such as the computer and software industries. Aside from being an initiated member of the Fraternity, there is no required criteria to serve on the Board of Directors of Delta Upsilon. Some involvement and experience with the Fraternity or a chapter is important, but not essential. Some of the current Board members served on the Fraternity'S International Headquarters staff. Most of the CUlTent alumni members of the Board have been or remain active with a local alumni group or an undergraduate chapter. Some of the members have served on Fraternity committees before being elected to the Board. If you want more information about volunteer opportunities with the Fraternity, please contact the International Headqualters or John Esau, Chairman of the Nominating Committee. Write P. O. Box 68942, Indianapolis, IN 46268 ; phone 317.875.8900; fax 317.876.1629, e-mail ihq@deltau.org. Fraternally yours,

Letters to the Editors Dear Editors: As a recent graduate from the Kent State Chapter of Delta Upsilon, I have mixed feelings about the issue of alcohol-free housing. I understand that in today's society everyone is ready to take you to court for millions of dollars, and I agree that it is important that DU protect itself. However, I do not feel that alcohol-free housing is the answer. I feel it is important to teach undergraduate brothers how to drink responsibly. I believe that more programs such as the speaker [Mike Green] at the Presidents Academy is the right answer. Delta Upsilon helps to mold boys into men, and I believe knowing how to drink responsibly is part of being a man. DU has the chance to help mold these young men by teaching them about drinking in moderation and the problems that alcohol use/abuse can cause. Let's not put our heads in the sand and think that because we cannot see the problem, it doesn't exist. Mike DiFranco, Kent State '98 Dear Editors: Gentlemen, whatever is being done at present isn't working, and we can attempt to eclipse the situation in a myriad of colors, but the hard fact is that something new is required. An edict requiring alcohol-free housing for the chapters won't initially win friends in some places, but it's the proper thing to do for the long-range picture. We'll see some undergraduate membership erosion initially, but I believe we'll recoup those losses in pledging gains. Men and their families will see we offer an environment more attuned to better study habits that will meld with a social atmosphere that protects their well being. Alcohol can be consumed at functions outside the chapter house, assuming all college and state laws are observed. Alcohol consumption in the chapter house is a time bomb waiting to explode. Be realistic ... the Fraternity must acknowledge this fact and move in a different direction. DU needs to lead, not follow. William A. Sigman, Iowa State '50 4

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY/SUMMER 1998

Dear Editors: I have followed with interest the articles in the Quarterly over the last few years about the use and abuse of alcohol and drugs, and how they relate to fraternity life. Being a member of a chapter that lost its charter, I can now comfortably say that this probably occurred because of the environment that we not only lived in but may have unwittingly encouraged. We (or at least I) felt that drinking was a part of growing up and coming of age, and that any fraternity that was to have me as a member MUST allow drinking in the fraternity house and at all functions. Once I became a member, I not only continued this line of thought, but sought as members only men whom I thought were like me [in this thinking]. This only bred constant bickering and infighting between the responsible men and those men who "knew" they were right. This went on for many years and the responsible men left, probably because we gave them no other option. We lost our charter. What happened to us can happen again [to other chapters] if you do not take action now. Alcohol-free housing is a very viable beginning to solving the age-old problem of alcohol abuse. Men will still join DU if you show them that life without alcohol is fun. How do you do that? Take the lead, strive to be the best, be an example to the rest. Will the make-up of your chapter change? You bet! Especially if you are currently having a problem with alcohol. I do take issue with page nine of the Quarterly -- the difference between a drinking problem and being an alcoholic. Symptoms of a "drinking problem" and symptoms of an "alcoholism problem" are all alcoholism symptoms. What is the answer? Your article stated it: education and recognition. I thought I needed alcohol to live and be happy. Today I know different.

Dear Editors: Thanks to Brother John for his article about alcohol-free chapters in the April Quarterly. I also want to thank the members of the McQuaid Commission for their commitment of service to our Fraternity. It is useful, I think, to place this issue into the national context. Our society sends a very inconsistent message to our young people. It tells them that, yes, they are old enough to enjoy certain privileges and incur nearly every responsibility at age I8 ... with exception of drinking. They may even die for our country, but they cannot drink legally. Historically, the major reason for passage of the 26th Amendment to the Constitution, lowering the voting age to 18, was recognition that if you were old enough to die for your country, you were old enough to vote. We live in a society where an amendment to the U.S. Constitution conferred perhaps the most precious right of all -- to participate in the affairs of our repUblic. Yet that same society says, in effect, that drinking is a higher privilege than voting. College and university officials are caught in the midst of this confusion; they must interpret these mixed signals to our young men, and in effect are being asked to become the "morals police." With the rise of televised mobile camera units and the philosophy of, "If it bleeds, it leads," in our local and national TV newscasts, a single fraternity hazing or alcohol abuse incident can command the attention of an entire society. College administrators and fraternity officers ignore the impact of today's media at their peril. The awesome power of the media is a reality of our times, and how college administrators and fraternity officers react to the media focus is necessarily very different today than 25 years ago. The Fraternity's leadership has my gratitude for taking on such a difficult subject as the alcohol issue.

Delta Upsilon 1998 Leadership Institute Undergraduate Convention Assembly of Trustees

y official proclamation of the Mayor of Jacksonville, John A. Delaney, Florida '77, the week of July 20-26, 1998, was declared Delta Upsilon International Fraternity Week. This was a fitting tribute to start the 50th anniversary celebration of the Leadership Institute.

B

The setting was the Radisson Riverwalk Hotel on the scenic St. Johns River in Jacksonville, Florida. The purpose was the annual Leadership Institute of the Delta Upsilon International Fraternity. The participants were the members of Delta Upsilon, along with their families, friends and soon-to-be new brothers.

Advisory Board, faculty and staff held preconference meetings, set up the displays, and made last minute preparations for the Institute. This was the 50th anniversary of the Leadership Institute. In 1948, at the urging of J. Paul McNamara, Miami '29, the Fraternity established an educational conference in conjunction with the annual Convention. In 1948 this educational session was called the Leadership Conference. The combined meeting

The annual meeting began on Thursday, July 23, as undergraduates and alumni checked in with the DU registration desk. For some, the on-site activities began before Thursday as the Board of Directors, Undergraduate

By official proclamation of the Mayor of Jacksonville, John A. Delaney, Florida '77, the week of July 20-26, 1998, was declared Delta Upsilon International Fraternity Week.

After the meal, those present were addressed by the Mayor of Jacksonville, John A. Delaney, Florida '77, DUs host for the Institute. Brother Delaney welcomed everyone and expressed his delight in having Delta Upsilon in Jacksonville. As an undergraduate, he served his chapter as president and treasurel~ and as an alumnus he contributed many hours as alumni club and house corporation president. Brother Delaney also served on the Fraternity's Board of Directors up until July 1995, the summer he was elected Mayor of Jacksonville. In the midst of his very busy

schedule, he still found time to visit and speak with his Delta Upsilon brothers. "Awesome" was the description heard in the halls after the speech by the Honorable Terry L. Bullock, Kansas State '62. Brother Bullock addressed the Opening Banquet following Mayor Delaney. He spoke from the perspective of a volunteer, past President of the Fraternity, and former Foundation Trustee who has long dedicated himself to the Fraternity, its ideals, and membership. His remarks focusing on leadership and pride were inspirational and not soon to be forgotten by those in attendance. The final speaker of the evening was David J. Turek, Carthage '99. Brother Turek, a senior member of the Carthage Chapter, told the audience of the challenges that his chapter has met (and mastered) during their four year history... as was seen in evidence later in the week by the Carthage Chapter being awarded the Sweepstakes trophy.

On display throughout the Opening Banquet and the three days of the Institute was a giant surf board, symbolic of the Creating the New Wave theme of the 1998 Institute. Michael A. Barile, Florida '88, arranged for the surf board that was autographed by those in attendance and later given to a lucky Delta U brother. The Opening Banquet was an enthusiastic kick-off to the Institute, with good food, inspirational remarks, and a sharing of brotherhood. Following the banquet, the attendees adjourned to a general session that concerned the McQuaid Commission and Undergraduate Advisory Board deliberations on the use/ abuse of alcohol in Delta Upsilon chapters. All perspectives were discussed as this was a topic of concern and importance to undergraduates and alumni alike. Friday morning was filled with educational seminars for the undergraduates. Several of the educational sessions were of a track format, whereby those attending all sessions on their "track" would receive certification. The seminars, made possible in part by funding from the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation, focused on membership recruitment, scholarship, leadership, finances, member education, and career planning. Friday noon was the Awards Luncheon, keynoted by Will S. Keim. PhD., Pacific '75, a well known and popular speaker with Delta Upsilon. Will, as is the custom, captivated his audience.

Brother Turek spoke of the challenges before Delta Upsilon - - - challenges that can be met and mastered with the leadership and pride of which Brother Bullock talked earlier.

Kahlenbeck, former Chairman of the Board of Delta Upsilon, former Secretary of the Fraternity, and most recently, Secretary of the DU Educational Foundation, rightly joins the list of those men chosen for this prestigious award. Awards and special recognition were given to those chapters who excelled in given areas of chapter operations during the 1997-98 academic year. For a full list of chapter awards, see page 11. In the early afternoon, the Undergraduate Convention and Assembly of Trustees convened to hold a special Joint Session to discuss the recommendations of the McQuaid Commission and the Undergraduate Advisory Board, as well as listening to recommendations from the floor of the combined meeting. The meeting adjourned at 5 pm, in time for everyone to change into beach wear and catch the buses to the DU Beach Party at Ponte Vedre Beach. The tensions of the afternoon slipped away as brothers in Delta U relaxed with a beach picnic, volleyball, casino games, swimming, and generally enjoyed the beautiful evening at the ocean.

and Directors of Delta Upsilon's Board of Directors were chosen and installed. Saturday afternoon saw a continuation of the educational seminars for the undergraduates. The Grand Banquet on Saturday night lived up to its name. A readers' theater, focusing on Delta Upsilon's ideals, preceded the Model Initiation. Five men were admitted to the brotherhood in an impressive ceremony. DU's newest members are Jesse S. Davis, North Dakota State '00, John H. Lindley II, Arlington '01, Maxwell W. Patterson, Toronto '00, Zachary J. Stromme, North Dakota State '01, and Teddy C. J. Vodegel, Arlington '00. Following the Model Initiation special recognitions and gifts were given, and Aaron T. Kimbrell, Ohio State '99, won the surf board. One of the most exciting parts of the evening was the presentation of the Sweepstakes Award. Five DU chapters were Finalists for the Fraternity's highest award for undergraduate chapters: DePauw, Houston, Carthage, Kansas, and Kansas State. The winner this year was the Carthage Chapter. Each year the award is given to the chapter that best exemplifies the Four Founding Principles of Delta U, and attains a level of excellence in programming, recruitment, academics, service, financial management, and chapter operations. The President's Dessert Reception followed the Grand Banquet as members, friends, and family had a last chance to visit and celebrate DU's brotherhood before departing Jacksonville.

Undergraduates and Alumni Address Chapter Standards and the Fraternity's Alcohol Policy

T

he 50th anniversary of the Leadership Institute

proved to be quite monumental. Over 300 alumni, undergraduates, and family members gathered at the Radisson Riverwalk Hotel in Jacksonville, Florida. The 1998 Leadership Institute was a historic moment as the Undergraduate Convention and Assembly of Trustees discussed and passed an important resolution regarding chapter standards and the Fraternity's alcohol policies. The McQuaid Commission, the committee charged to evaluate the abuse and misuse of alcohol in DU chapters, made its final report at the Institute. Over the past 12 months, the McQuaid Commission invested over 2,000 man hours exploring this important issue. The basic conclusions the Commission reached were: 1) alcohol is perhaps the single biggest problem in the Fraternity at the current time; 2) there should be a method to evaluate a chapter and determine whether alcohol is a factor in a given chapter's problems; and, 3) the status quo is not acceptable. The McQuaid Commission recommendations included two elements. First, chapters were urged to consider voluntarily adopting an alcohol-free housing policy. Chapters adopting an alcohol-free housing policy would qualify for various incentives. Second, the Commission recommended reinforcing the Fraternity's chapter standards outlined in the Fraternity's Standards of Excellence Guide. Those chapters achieving these standards may qualify for an exemption from the alcohol-free housing requirement. Chapters not meeting those standards would be required to implement an alcohol-free housing policy. During an open session prior to the Joint Session of the Undergraduate Convention and Assembly of Trustees, Institute attendees engaged in a healthy discussion of the McQuaid Commission's recommendations. The discussion concluded with a series of suggested amendments to the original McQuaid Commission proposal. The following day, at the Convention, the suggested amendments were introduced and accepted by the McQuaid Commission. After a debate the resolution passed by the Convention with 67 chapters voting in favor of the resolution, nine chapters dissenting, and one abstention. The Undergraduate Convention and subsequently the Assembly of Trustees endorsed a resolution to the Board of Directors with the following concepts: 1. All members will restate a policy of responsibility and awareness of alcohol and its effects. 2. Each chapter must achieve an 85% excellence rating as defined by the Chapter Standards of Excellence. 3. Chapters failing to meet an 85% excellence rating must appear before 12

DELTA UPSILON QU,IRTERLY/SUMMER 1998

the Standards Committee. The Fraternity's Standards Committee is empowered to determine corrective action to be taken, which may include alcohol-free housing. 4. When a chapter is required to adopt an alcohol-free housing policy, it will be for a period no less than three years. (At the end of the three year period, the chapter may submit an appeal to remove the requirement for alcoholfree housing status, provided that the chapter meets the 85% excellence rating.) 5. The new policy would require chapters that wish to receive incentives to voluntarily adopt an alcohol-free housing policy by November I, 1998. At the Sunday (July 26, 1998) meeting of the Board of Directors, the resolution and its endorsements were considered and approved in concept. The Board of Directors has asked the McQuaid Commission to re-examine the policy proposal to ensure that it is consistent with existing Fraternity policies. The McQuaid Commission will review the language of the policy and clarify any ambiguities. The McQuaid Commission will also formulate the implementation plan for the new policy. An important feature of the proposal is financial incentives to chapters voluntarily adopting an alcohol-free housing policy by November 1, 1998. Funds from the International Fraternity are to be used for scholarships, physical plant improvements, and educational programming. In addition to these incentives, chapters adopting an alcohol-free housing policy will secure increased educational programming in the areas of general loss prevention, and alcohol abuse and misuse. Chapters will receive announcements about the policy and more details regarding its implementation in the September monthly mailing packets to alumni and chapter officers.

Certificates of appreciation were presented to members of the McQuaid Commission present at the 1998 Institute. (From left to right) Kevin B. McCord, Missouri '98, Robert S.

Research Initiative Update

I

Fraternity News ..

Membership in a fraternity increases the likelihood that a student will stay in college. An independent study of 653 students who dropped out of the University of Missouri-Columbia found that fraternity membership increased student retention by about 28% as compared with the results that would be expected "by chance."

..

Alumni who were members of fraternities tend to give more money to their colleges and universities than do other graduates. NPC-NIC Research Initiative studies found this held true across generations from 1945 through 1994.

n the July 1997 issue of the

Quarterly the results of the fIrst phase of the Research Initiative, jointly commissioned by the National Interfraternity Conference (NIC) and the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC), were reported. The research into the impact of fraternity/sorority affiliation was conducted by the Center for Advanced Social Research at the University of Missouri.

..

Greek organization alumni from the 1945 and 1955 eras tend to make larger gifts than non-Greek alumni from the same eras.

..

Data from Greek graduates from the 1945 and 1955 eras indicate that they participated more fully in extracurricular activities than did non-Greeks.

..

The follow-up study on "social capital" - involvement in the community - found that 1945 and 1955 eras Greek graduates and non-Greek graduates had approximately equal levels of "social capital." The 1996 study showed that 1965-1994 era Greek alumni enjoy greater "social capital" than non-Greeks. They take part more fully in their communities - in civic groups, religious organizations, and volunteer organizations - than do non-Greeks.

..

The study of 1945 and 1955 eras alumni found that those Greek alumni are as satisfied in retrospect with their academic experiences and with relationships with professors and counselors as are the non-Greeks.

Among the fIndings of the fIrst phase: ..

..

Greek-affiliated students were found to be more involved in student organizations, more satisfIed with their social development, but less satisfIed with their own college performance and that of their alma mater. Greek-affiliated alumni were found to be more active in civic affairs, but less satisfIed with administrators, counselors, advisors, and professors. While there appeared to be no great differences in statting salaries between Greeks and non-Greeks, charitable donations by Greeks were considerably larger than those made by non-Greeks.

At the time of the July 1997 article, the next phase of the study was under development. This second phase of the research included retention fIgures and those aspects of Greek life that alumni felt affected their staying in college to reach graduation. This is an update on the research fIndings of that phase of the study.

..

Other studies done recently at the University of Missouri-Columbia indicate, however, that while undergraduate Greek organization members report greater satisfaction with the social aspects of their college experience, they express concerns about their relations with professors. Research Initiative I (in 1996) indicated that among graduates from 1965 through 1994, Greek alumni in particular were less satisfIed with both their academic and relationship experiences than other alumni.

While alcohol use and abuse was discussed, academic performance reviewed, and faculty relationships recalled, the predominant verdict by Greek-affiliated alumni was that their college experience impacted their personal and professional lives in a most positive way. These Research Initiative fIndings can be used to promote the value of Greek membership on college campuses, and to emphasize the positive aspects of fraternity membership in the face of negative media coverage.

Delta U's

Senior Staff Profiles & Goals

D

elta U is fortunate indeed to

have three seasoned staff leaders continuing for a third year of service to the membership. Bradley M. John, Iowa '96, will be continuing as the Fraternity's Director of Chapter Management. He will supervise DU's comprehensive Loss Prevention Program which includes the Fraternity 's general liability, property, directors' and officers' as well as crime coverages. Another component of the program that Brad will oversee is the maintenance and development of education programs to provide as resources to Delta U's undergraduates and alumni . Brad hopes to increase the programs and resources that the Fraternity provides, while at the same time continue to communicate loss prevention information on a simple, less technical level. Brother John will also be heading up B. John some of the exciting new alumni programs that DU will be offering in the upcoming academic year. In April the Fraternity held the first of many future Regional Alumni Conferences. Delta Upsilon has made a commitment to working with and training alumni members that work as advisors to DU chapters. The Fraternity, with support from the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation, has a goal of organizing four regional alumni conferences in the next academic year. Perhaps most importantly, Brad will be overseeing the continuing implementation of the Fraternity's Chapter Excellence Plan. This program has the goal of helping all DU chapters obtain a markedly high level of chapter operations.

Returning as Director of Fraternity Expansion and Recruitment is Phillip A.

Schott, Northern Colorado '96. Regarding recruitment, Phil would like to pilot and fully implement the Intensive Recruitment Assistance Program. The goal of the IRA Program is to help existing DU chapters grow, not only in the number of members, but in terms of programming and resources offered. A preliminary list of participating chapters has been determined and it is expected that the pilot program will begin in the fall. Brother Schott and the Recruitment Committee are al so working on a recruitment symposium for vice presidents of membership recruitment. In addition to serving as a recruitment resource to chapters and colonies, Phil hopes to add to the ranks of existing DU chapters. His goal is to start at least two new colonies during this upcoming academic year. Phil also plans to evaluate the Fraternity's current expansion policies, procedures, and resources. As the Fraternity's membership and chapter base grow, Phil believes alumni support and involvement are crucial, citing that Delta Upsilon's most successful chapters have dedicated and involved alumni. He says that alumni advisors provide needed guidance, support, and consistency to chapters and colonies as they are growing and moving in new directions . Phil is excited about continuing to serve the Fraternity and looks forward to working with dedicated alumni, undergraduates, and potential members.

P. Schott

The third member of Delta Upsilon 's TeamDU Senior Staff is the Director of Chapter Services J. Michael Chaplin, Carthage '96. Mike graduated from Carthage College with a degree in Business Administration and a minor in Economics. He began working for Delta Upsilon as a Leadership Consultant in June 1996 and moved to the Director of Chapter Services position in May 1997. Mike's responsibilities include managing the Leadership Consultant Program, administrative duties with the Undergraduate Advisory Board (UGAB), developing and overseeing distribution of resources to all chapters and colonies, and maintenance of Delta Upsilon 's information systems. In the 1998-99 academic year, Brother Chaplin will focus on increasing the functionality of the DU web site by adding officer resources, up-to-date Headquarters staff information and on-line pledge, initiation, and registration forms. With a total of five Leadership Consultants on staff this year, each chapter is scheduled to receive at least a three-day visit in the fall and one in the spring; many chapters will receive visits of five to seven days in length. The UGAB has gotten off to a great start and is beginning to plan the 1999 Regional Leadership Seminars; you will hear more on the '99 RLS season from your UGAB representative in the fall. Mike reminds chapter leaders to keep yourself well informed by thoroughly reading monthly mail packets, communicating with your Leadership M. Chaplin Consultant, and checking the Delta U web site on a regular basis.

998 - Delta Upsilon Fraternity The Miami Chapter of Delta Upsilon 130 Years of Excellence he night of Wednesday, March 18, 1998, the Miami Chapter of DU celebrated the 130th anniversary of its founding with a formal dinner at the university's Marcum Conference Center. The keynote speaker was Phillip R. Shriver, Kent State '49, President Emeritus of Miami University. Following dinner, the current undergraduate chapter president, Gregory D' Alessandro '00 spoke about the continued strengths of the chapter including the tremendous growth in membership, dominance in academics, and participation in the IFC. He also stressed the need to build on these strengths and successes and not remain static. Christopher Maraschiello '88 spoke next, on behalf of the house corporation and the 950 plus alumni of the Miami Chapter, recounting the struggles and sacrifices of the chapter over the past 10 years. In 1988 undergraduate membership numbered 23 and the chapter was in debt, with a chapter house in need of repair. Brother Maraschiello stated that in 10 years undergraduate membership had risen into the 70s, the chapter house was completely renovated, and the house corporation is planning the construction of a two-story addition to accommodate 18 more brothers. He also stressed the need to stay focused on our founding principles which he called "our moral compass," and to build upon 130 years of brotherhood at Miami. The highlight of the evening was an address by Dr. Phillip R. Shriver, who, in addition to being a former President of Miami University, former advisor to the Kent State DU Chapter, and winner of the DU Distinguished Alumnus Award, is Professor of History Emeritus of Miami. He gave a stirring and inspirational account of the rise of Delta Upsilon from its beginnings at Williams College in 1834 to the arrival of DU at Miami in the spring of 1868. The DU chapter was inactive from 1874 when the college closed, until 1908, when a local secret society, Delta Rho, petitioned the Fraternity in Convention at Swarthmore. Delta U at Miami University was reborn and through the succeeding years has experienced triumphs and tragedies, yet continues to remain a strong force. Dr. Shriver reminded the audience of who the Miami DUs were, who they are today, and all that they can be, charging the chapter to uphold and continue the 130 years of excellence that is Delta Upsilon at Miami.

The traditi onal game-day party in Palo Alto for the San Jose State/Stanford University foot ball game on September 5 will start off the fall activities. The maj or functions will take place during Homecoming on Saturday, October 10, 1998. A noon dedic at ion of DU 's new chapter house on II th Street will be followed by a tailgate party and the 6 pm Homeco ming football game with Rice Un iversity. The final event will be the annual alumni and undergraduate dinner to be held at the chapter house on Monday, December 7. At thi s event we will honor many of the donors to our capital campaign plus celebrate Founders' Day of the Fraternity. The chapter has enjoyed a rich heritage at San Jose beginning in 193 1 as Alpha Pi Omega, which was one of the three original local fraternities on campus . In the late 1940s, when the locals considered affiliatin g with natio nal fraternities, an alumni/ undergrad uate committee of Ana bega n a survey of quality fraternities that they mi ght consider joining. Many fraternities were considered, but when the principles of I'1Y and Ana were compared, it was a perfect match . DU had not exte nded an invitation to any petitioning locals in more than a do ze n years, and it was obvious that a first-class campaign was needed to achieve the goal. With the help

Message from the Executive Director

A. Cross

honored at the Institute's Saturday Alumni Luncheon for his over 65 years as a DU. He was gracious and poised as he accepted the recognition. Dr. Hale and I spoke prior to the luncheon and he tells me he's as active today as he was when he served as Dean of Men at the University of Florida when he helped bring Delta U to the Gainesville campus. Dr. Hale's recently published book, The Iota Connection, braids humor, career, and personal drama in its assertion that one's soul is a reflection of

positive impact on the health and well-being of DU's chapters. Just to let you know..... ..An update of the DU web site is "in the works." The Fraternity is working with an accomplished web design firm in Indianapolis and anticipates the new site will be launched by mid-September. Look for dramatic improvements in functionality, online address updates, job postings, chapter resources, DU commerce and goods, chat rooms , and timely information about Delta Upsilon and the Greek movement. Preliminary reviews have been very favorable.

From My Side of the Desk ..... . y two cents .......The boxes have been unpacked. Things are being put back in order. And, the IHQ staff has finally dug itself out from under the piled stacks on desks while away at the 1998 Leadership Institute. What a FANTASTIC Institute it was!! Jacksonville, and the city's Mayor, DU Brother John A. Delaney, served as wonderful hosts to the 50th anniversary celebration of the Fraternity'S premier educational conference.

God's spirit. Chapter four of The Iota Connection speaks to Brother Hale's devotion to Delta Upsilon ....... David Turek, Carthage '99, spoke at the Institute's Opening Banquet. It was the first address by an undergraduate brother at the annual conference in years. Not only was Brother Turek inspirational, but he's certain to be good at whatever he does in the future .... ... Read more on the 50th anniversary celebration of the Institute on pages 7-11 of this issue.

Some observations from the side ...... .It was fascinating to learn that a number of DU brothers, many of them from the plains of North America, had never seen the Atlantic Ocean. The Institute's Friday Beach Party was a real treat for the conference attendees. The sand, the sea shells, and pounding four to five foot waves let them experience firsthand the power of the ocean .. ..... Dr. Lester Hale, Wisconsin '34, was

The Chapter Services staff will soon hit the road, traveling across the land assisting undergraduate and alumni leaders to better the Fraternity.

A resounding pronouncement was heard at this year's Undergraduate Convention and Assembly of Trustees .. .. ... Delta Upsilon undergraduate brothers are committed to striving for chapter excellence .. .... .And, the Fraternity'S Board of Directors should be expected to hold them accountable to that pledge. Thanks goes out to the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation for its strong support of the Fraternity'S educational initiatives during the 1997 -98 fiscal year. The DUEF has again fulfilled its commitment to fund the programs for which the Fraternity seeks grant support. The undergraduate and alumni DUs who benefit from the educational programs administered by Delta Upsilon indeed have reason to give thanks to the Foundation, its Trustees , and the thousands of DUs who contribute to the DUEF.


Membership Recruitment

Delta U Remains in Recruitment Recession s of June 30,1998, for the second consecutive fiscal year, DU has experienced a drop in the number of men pledged. Delta Upsilon chapters reported 1,375 pledges during the 1997-98 fiscal year which is down 56 pledges or 3.9 % from the previous fiscal year. Chapters are also in a recession in terms of the number of men initiated during this fiscal year: 1,058 or 56 fewer new initiates than the previous fiscal year. This decrease in initiates, for the fifth consecutive year, represents a 5% decrease from the previous fiscal year. While these figures are cause for alarm, there is hope for the future of DU's internal growth. The average number of new members pledged and initiated since 1992 has remained fairly consistent at approximately 16 new pledges and l3 new initiates each year. It also appears that the decrease in pledges and initiates was not as drastic

this year as it was during the 1996-97 fiscal year when pledges were down by 7.7% and initiates were down by 11.8% from the previous year. These facts may signal an end to the DU's recruitment recession. How can we bring Delta Upsilon out of the current recruitment recession? As chapters and colonies look forward to a new year, outstanding membership recruitment and initiation efforts need to be made a top priority. It should be every undergraduate brother's goal to ensure that he recruits and helps initiate one new member every term. The International Fraternity is making internal growth a top priority and taking steps to ensure that DU groups continue to grow. The Fraternity has five Leadership Consultants on the 1998-99 staff to provide crucial on-site recruitment assistance. The Membership Recruitment Committee is developing the Intensive Recruitment Assistance Program which will place Leadership Consultants at nearly 15 chapters and colonies for a week or more, providing 0

However, none of this work has significantly improved the visual condition of the house. In this area, both the alumni and undergraduate brothers recognize the house clearly needs improvements. Building on a foundation of undergraduate commitment to properly maintain these improvements, the alumni board is moving toward bringing back the well-appointed atmosphere that is remembered. Robert J. Verna '68 Alumni Chapter President, urges all Cornell DU alumni to support these efforts and to visit the chapter house whenever they return to Cornell.

The Houston Chapter has just celebrated its 25th Anniversary and what better milestone than the construction of its very own chapter house -- no longer a rental property!

~--------------~

H. Paul Picard '83 alumnus advisor to the Houston Chapter, reminds us that the chapter has lived in six different houses over the 25 years and at times did not have a house.


Alumni News

In 1981 the university formed a committee to study the possibility of a Greek Rowand finally a site was decided upon. Unfortunately, just when the ground was to have been broken in 1989, a new university administration eliminated the project. The university has again talked of building a Greek Row, but there are no specifics. Currently the chapter is living in a house that is not adequate for its needs. Over 40 men strong, they are excelling in academics, athletics, campus events, philanthropy, organization, rush, and are

among the campus leaders. The young men are going where no DU Chapter at Houston has gone before. They need a house! Picard said, "As alumni, we had neglected to raise the funds that could have led to DU buying a house sooner:' The DU alumni are checking out all options, among them an off-campus location. Brother Picard says, "We have raised almost $100,000 and are getting close to our goal of $140,000 (20% of the over-$500,000 price tag the new home will have).

'The future is extremely bright with the undergraduates planning the largest pledge class in Houston DU history. We, as alumni, must do our part to reach our goal of $140,000 by January 1, 2001. With the great start we have, I feel we will have this money pledged by the end of the year:' All contributions exceeding $2,500 are tax-deductible.

Olympus Capital for Campus Housing U is proud to announce lts partnership with EduCap, Inc. who has introduced an unprecedented offering that will infuse new capital into the vast network of national Greek organizations. In partnership with National Cooperative Bank (NCB), EduCap has designed the first ever program of its kind to assist national Greek organizations in securing financing for renovation, refinancing, or acquisition of existing or newly constructed fraternity and sorority chapter housing. The new loan program, named Olympus Capital for Campus Housing, is an extension of EduCap's Olympus Capital for Knowledge, which you have seen advertised in this publication. The new program will initially fund

$20 million. It is anticipated that Greek organizations will have access to nearly $1 billion in the next five years. Established and qualified national Greek organization chapter house corporations may apply for housing-related loans. Time necessary to complete a loan is typically less than 60 days after a short preliminary analysis period.

To receive a loan application, or to get further details, contact Joe Vacca at 1.800.263.4517. This innovative program was developed in conjunction with the National Interfraternity Conference, the National Panhellenic Conference, and selected fraternities and sororities.

Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation News f testimony I have heard over the past seven years from other DU alumni is any indication, I am not alone in making the claim that as an undergraduate, Delta Upsilon was the most important personal growth and development experience I had.

I

Upon graduation, if I never had contact with another DU soul, I would still feel indebted to my Fraternity and the experience it provided. I would seek to give something back not only to my chapter, but to the entire brotherhood, whose founding principles of justice and non-secrecy made us unique on our campus. It also attracted unique and outstanding individuals to our membership, as it does today on 83 campuses in North America. In short, my DU experience created a sense of obligation in me. Stewards and supporters of my chapter and our Fraternity ensured that DU was represented on my campus when I was a student. I feel obliged to be a steward and supporter for others who will follow.

S. Crane

This viewpoint, I realize, is not shared by all 60,000 of my DU alumni brothers. To know that their chapter exists (or did at one time) does not create any sense of obligation in them. It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes, coincidentally made by a DU brother and great American author, Stephen Crane, Lafayette & SyraclIse 22

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLJ'/SUMMER 1995

1894. Brother Crane wrote, "A man said to the universe, 'Sir, I exist!' 'However,' replied the universe, 'the fact has not created in me a sense of obligation.'" Juxtaposed to the work of the DU Educational Foundation, Brother Crane's thoughts remind me that alumni and parent support will not flow from simply knowing that the Foundation exists. You must know why we exist and what we do. With this knowledge, I hope you will feel obliged to offer support in the form of time, or money, or both. At the beginning of a new Annual Campaign, I want to reassert why the Foundation exists. The Foundation is in business to ensure that each undergraduate DU is a person capable of commitment and deep friendship; a servant to his community; a lifelong student; a well-prepared and connected career explorer; and, a young person capable of complete independence -grounded in the practical skills and knowledge required for life after college. To help create young men with the skills and character elements listed above, the Foundation makes annual and special grants to: II1II Develop breakthrough programs such as The Star Program for Leadership Development. II1II Ensure each chapter and colony is visited by a DU staff member at least once each academic year. II1II Underwrite major annual leadership education events such as the summer Leadership Institute and the winter Presidents Academy. II1II Provide a variety of individual scholarships for undergraduate and graduate brothers. II1II Assist individual chapters in administering scholarship funds, as well as purchase or construct areas of chapter houses for strictly educational uses. This constitutes only a partial list of what the DU Educational Foundation does to make DU membership the most

Arlington Chapter Welcomes Three New Members The Arlington Chapter of Delta Upsilon welcomed three new members this semester with the addition of Mark Mascardo, Teddy Vodegel (who was initiated at the 1998 Leadership Institute), and Scott Reading. The chapter also had 16 members attend the Province 9 and 10 Regional Leadership Seminar at the University of Kansas in April. It was a great experience and those who attended enjoyed meeting many DU brothers from around the country.

After their province meeting, the Arlington Chapter members gather for a group photograph. A 24-hour softball game benefiting the Big Brothers & Big Sisters Foundation was a huge success. Mark Nenno was elected to Vice-President of Rush for the IFe. President Cory Dowell '98, was awarded the Outstanding Student Leadership Award for the University of Texas at Arlington. Best of luck to graduating seniors Kurt Kmak '98, Jeremy Thompson '98, and Steve Zarkivach '98. These brothers have made a huge impact on the chapter and will go far in life.

Northern Colorado Earns University's Award The Northern Colorado Chapter was recently awarded the UNC President's Award, the highest honor that a Greek organization can receive on the UNC campus. The chapter was given this award because of its educational programming, chapter operations, and having a GPA higher than the All-Men's Average on campus.

Chapter Spotlights The chapter would like to congratulate Brothers Caleb Holman '02, and David Schleicher '99, on their election to the student body government.

Technology Chapter Honors Brother The Technology Chapter recently rebuilt the playground at the Cambridge Community Center in honor of Yanni Krikelis '96, a brother who was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1995. With donations from MIT alumni, students, and faculty members, as well as funds from the Deloitte & Touche consulting firm and Bertucci's Pizza, the chapter bought $6,000 worth of playground equipment and transformed the old, rundown playground into a large play area with sandboxes, swings and slides. The chapter also put $5 ,000, earned from MIT's Reed Weekdon Alunmi Relations Award, into a Yanni Krikelis fund for future projects.

Miami Adding On The brothers of the Miami Chapter were excited as they celebrated the 130th anniversary of their presence on the campus. However, the chapter was saddened to see the senior class graduate, as the loss of over 20 men will be difficult to replace. While their numbers were large, it is their contributions and leadership that will surely be missed . On the way to replacing the seniors, the chapter secured 10 fine men in the spring rush to add to the spring pledge class of 20. Pledge Puddle Pull, the chapter's tug-of-war philanthropy, was yet again a great success as Miami DUs teamed with Ganm1a Phi Beta to donate proceeds to the Oxford Community Crisis and Counseling Center, a group that helps community citizens deal with domestic problems and difficulties. That success has fostered a sense of accomplishment and now the chapter focuses on a new goal -- the physical expansion of the chapter house. Led by a strong group of alumni, Christopher Maraschiello '89, Frank Dodd' 49, Al Burgei ' 90, and Mike Lopane '92, the Miami Chapter is beginning a capital funds drive to add space for up to 18 more men.

Missouri Chapter Volunteers at Special Olympics As a part of another successful Greek Week showing, 30 brothers of the Missouri Chapter helped to change the lives of some special children as buddies during the mid-Missouri Regional Special Olympics. Brothers Jeff Kreutz '99, and Tim Reeves ' 00, served on the steering committee and were responsible for planning this special event. The chapter finished 5th overall in Greek Week with the women of Zeta Tau Alpha, and have already begun preparing to win Homecoming with the women of Delta Gamma in the fall.

Houston Develops Scholarship Program, Ranks #1 In the spring 1998 semester the Houston Chapter raised its cumulative GPA to 2.72, the highest of any Greek organization on campus. In addition to focus and hard work, the chapter credits its success to the scholarship program that was developed and implemented by the members . Also, congratulations to Brother Tim Kutka '00, for his election as the Undergraduate Advisory Board member for Province 10 and election to Delta Upsilon 's Board of Directors as one of two UGAB members .

What an exciting and eventful semester this was for the Purdue Chapter! The membership development conmuttee worked especially hard creating a new and innovative pledge education program and arranging for nationally recognized etiquette expert Nonnie Cameron and Purdue President Steven C. Beering to visit the chapter. The committee also successfully coordinated several brotherhood development events including the annual Rose Formal held this year at the Columbia Club on the Circle in downtown Indianapolis. Philanthropy was another high point, with the success of the Purdue Chapter 's second annual DU/AOPi Dodge Ball Competition, which raised funds for the local chapter of the United Way. The outstanding pledge class also got in the philanthropic spirit, with several Saturdays spent encouraging the kids at the Special Olympics. Back on campus, the Purdue Chapter showed real initiative by building from scratch their first cart to compete in the celebrated Purdue Grand Prix in several years . However, the hard work didn ' t end there. The brothers also made some encouraging progress in the development of a chapter computer office, and the Purdue DU web page has received a lot of praise around campus. Probably the most exciting development for the undergraduate chapter was the addition of some beautiful landscaping to the front of the chapter house. This face lift was realized through the efforts of many brothers. Finally, the year was topped off by the chapter receiving the university 'S Administrative Excellence Award at the Greek Awards Banquet held at the end of the semester. The whole chapter is encouraged by the success enjoyed this spring and looks forward to continuing their pursuit of excellence in the fall. Timothy Arrigo, Purdue '98

Chicago Strength in Diversity

Guelph Continues to Build

The 1997-98 school year was a very successful one for the Chicago Chapter. The chapter's cumulative chapter GPA of 3.3 is well above the all student average at the University of Chicago. The chapter advanced to the playoffs in football , basketball, softball, and soccer, and diversity is as strong as ever with a closely knit brotherhood of members representing 13 different states and seven different countries. The Chicago Chapter would like to wish all of its graduating seniors the very best and thank them for all of their hard work. James Reilly Chicago '99

The Guelph Chapter had another great year. The chapter initiated seven new brothers, and was a new energetic executive council that is ready, willing, and capable of producing excellent results in the upcoming year. The Guelph Chapter alumni are in the process of formally incorporating the alumni chapter, and have had regular monthly meetings for the first time ever. Once again , the chapter is proud to have helped a number of charitable organizations in the past year, including its continued involvement with the Guelph Food Bank, donating both time and money. This year the brothers also continued the tradition of dare-devilry by skydiving for the Alzheimer Society of Canada, raising more than $ 1,000 through campus and community pledges. Guelph chapter members are looking forward to the upcoming year.

Kent State Begins Renovation On June 6, over 20 undergraduate and alumni brothers of the Kent State Chapter participated in the third annual chapter house renovation day.

Brother Lindsay served as a state senator for eight years, 1989 to 1997, including four years as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee. He practiced law in Omaha for 12 years prior to joining O'Hara & Associates.

His community service has been recognized with such awards as the Distinguished Service Award of the Jaycees, the Governor's Executive Order of Ohio Commodores, and the William H. Spurgeon III Award of the Boy Scouts of America. He has served as community president of the United Way, Rotary, and the Akron City Club. CUlTently, Brother Bailey serves on the boards of the Cabel Huntington Hospital Foundation and the Central District BSA. His service to Denison University included serving as president of Denison's Society of Alumni from 1980-82, and he was instrumental in reorganizing the Alumni Council. Brother Bailey has also served his alma mater as a career advisor, alumni club president, and fund-raiser.

Assemblyman Alan M. Augustine, Lafayette '52, representing the citizens of the 22nd District of the state of New Jersey, has been much in the news this year.

B. Bailey

Six distinguished Denison University alumni were honored for their contributions to their professions, their communities, and their alma mater during Reunion Weekend ceremonies in late-May. Among these was Bruce S. Bailey' 58, former President and Chairman of the Board for Delta Upsilon International Fraternity, and cUlTently a member of the Educational Foundation Board of Trustees. Brother Bailey's 40-year career at Banc One includes serving as president of Banc One West Virginia and previously as CEO of affiliates in Mansfield, Ravenna, and Akron. The citation reads that in each community he has been "exceptionally active on civic boards for philanthropic, cultural, health, education, and youth organizations."

Rice recalls that, "My Delta Upsilon and Purdue experiences, early in my life, had much influence on me throughout my career. The DU chapter provided an 18-year-old kid with stability, discipline, social exposure, and even financial help. My mother died during my senior year in high school and I was pretty much on my own. The Fraternity gave me a sense of belonging and a "family" away from home."
