MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Brothers, Imaginative, creative, positive change is taking place every day at Delta Upsilon in your Fratemity's efforts to build better men. These changes will individually and collectively build a stronger Fraternity with a focus on building better men. New Executive Director. Jeff Fuhrman, Northern !ovva '94, has been intently working to bring about positive change in every area ofDU. Although he has been on staff less than six months, DU is far ahead as he brings a fresh, enthusiastic, results-oriented approach to both long term and short term goals. He has already personally visited about a fourth ofDU's undergraduate chapters with the intention of visiting every chapter soon. Jeff and the other members of the staff have a renewed enthusiasm Ed Porter, Oklahoma '65 toward serving every chapter in a way that will bring about a more valuable DU experience for every member. New Focus on Finances. The entire staff, under Brother Fuhrman's leadership, is congratulated for their imagination and hard work in creating a more efficient operation. The bottom line is: the bottom line will be better this year and in the future. The Fraternity must be better stewards of the funds generated through our dues, fees, and contributions. New ways of managing our resources are securing DU 's future strength. New Delta Force. DU's alumni volunteers, led by Brother Bill Messick, Lafayette '68, is charging ahead. This new Delta Force concept has taken some time tested strategies (Province Governor and Province Area Coordinator systems), added some new exciting twists, and is engaging more of our talented alumni in helping build better men at each of our chapters. DU will be stronger, more efficient and more fun with the huge increase in alumni participation that the Delta Force is bringing to our Fratemity. Watch for the Delta Force Road Show soon! New Success with the Chapter Excellence Plan. Recently DU developed a "business plan" approach for chapter management. After only a few short years, the program is now showing great results as more chapters set goals and take the steps to attain those goals. The "CEP" is creating stronger chapters and is building better men, as additional chapters become more engaged in the process of sh'iving for excellence. New Better Men . Congratulations to the many undergraduate DUs across North America who have achieved so many distinctive honors during the past year. The list is very long and space prevents mentioning all here. Tlu'ee are especially notable: Chris Flynn, San Diego State '03 has been awarded the Greek Man of the Year on his campus. Matt Hintze, Illinois '04 is president of the nation's largest IFC and is leading the Illinois Greek Initiative to build an even stronger fraternal system. The IGI is based on DU 's Chapter Excellence Plan. Tony Lopez, Oklahoma '03 has been selected as the Outstanding Senior Man at the university. These men, and many other DUs are national leaders of the future. New/Old Better Men. Although still young in age but long on experience, Brother Jim Boeheim, Syraclise '66, is to be congratulated on coaching the national champion Syracuse University basketball team. All free people of the world are thankful for the leadership of Brother General Tommy Franks, Te.xas '67, for his leadership of coalition forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. Justice is being brought to the world through Brother Franks and the men that he leads, including a number of DU brothers. Yours in building better men,

Delta Upsilon making its presence felt at the
University of Michigan On November 4 , 1834 , 30 men gathered in the Recitation Hall of West College at Williams College who decided to break with tradition and build an organization based on justice, fairness, and openness. On April 13, 2003 , 30 men gathered in the Michigan League Balll'oom of the University of Michigan to bring back an organization with the same vision of our Founders 168 years ago, and to fly the flag of Delta Upsilon over the campus as it flew when it was originally chartered in 1876. The reinstatement of the Michigan Chapter ends a seven-year absence of Delta Upsilon from the University of Michigan. The process to raise the flag over the campus began in August 2001 when John Duncan, Oregon State '00 , and Patrick Morison , Western Ontario 'OJ , began recruiting the leaders and future brothers . On April 7 , 2002 a group of leaders raised the colony flag over the University of Michigan marking Delta Upsilon 's official return to the campus . During their first semester back, the colony had the highest G.P.A . among all fraternities on campus and set the standard for the men that they would be recruiting in the future . Through the guidance of Brothers Duncan and John Markiewicz, Michigan '64, the men continued recruiting men of distinction. Their dedication allowed the men to petition the International Fraternity 's Board of Directors this year to be reinstated and the petition was unanimously approved . The weekend of re-instatement was an exciting and busy time for the brothers to be at the University of Michigan. On Saturday, April 12 , 2003 , there was an all-brother clean up of the chapter house. Following the clean up of the chapter facility, the men went to the local Boys & Girls Club to participate in the Delta Upsilon Boys & Girls Club Week. After the service event , the colony members met at the chapter house for the final colony meeting. Following the colony meeting the men had a small break to get things in order for Rite One of the Installation Ceremony. Brothers Morison and Jonathan Custis , Bradley '02 pelformed the Ceremony. Sunday, April 13 , 2003 , the day many of brothers had waited for, had finally arrived. The brothers gathered at the Michigan League Ballroom at 10 am for the rehearsal of what was to come in just one short hour. At 11 am Brother Duncan began the introductions of the Installation team. Dave Maguire , Southern lllinois '73, served as the Master; Brother Patrick Morison served as the Examiner; Jonathan Custis served as the Chief Marshal ; Marcus Hosman , Carthage '00, served as the Chaplain; and Brother Craig Sowell , Houston '92 , issued the Charge . Brother Sowell gave an inspirational and thought-provoking Charge to the candidates , speaking about the values , ideals and principles of the Fraternity. He spoke on the responsibilities of a brother, and that it is a lifelong commitment and not just a four-year responsibility, and thanked the parents for their guidance in raising men of character, and future brothers of the Fraternity. Following the Installation Ceremony, the chapter hosted a reception at the chapter house. The reception was put together by several of the mothers of the chapter members . During the reception Brother Maguire presented the chapter with their official chapter flag. Brother Sowell presented the chapter with an American flag , a Canadian flag, copies of
Delta Upsilon chapter house at 1331 Hill Street the Ritual , the official Roll Book of the chapter, and various other gifts from the Fraternity, including a President's Badge. Brother Duncan made a presentation on behalf of the alumni association. The alumni created a leadership award in the name of the individual who took the group from a few men to the colony stage, Brandon Phenix , Michigan '03. The Brandon Phenix Leadership Award was presented to the brother who brought the group from a colony to a chapter, Brother Thomas Leonard III, Michigan '04. In the future the members of the chapter will decide the recipient of this award based on who they feel exemplifies the principles of the Fraternity in a leadership capacity.

Living the Principles ... Culture Swain Porter's professional career began with a degree in molecular biology, and a comfortable lifestyle set in the breathtaking beauty of the Pacific Northwest. His adventurous spilit however has led him about as far from these beginnings as is possible. Today, Swain W. Porter, Washington State '87, is based in Hyderabad India, managing the growth of
a complete city of domes for 5,000 software engineers to live and work in a software developer's utopia. At the same time he is flying back and forth to the US meeting with new clients, and keeping his existing customers and his investors happy throughout the India-Pakistan tensions. Thanks to his perseverance, out of the dust and scrub has emerged a pristine, state-ofthe-art software development facility r-----------------_ that builds and tests software for US companies under the leadership of Swain Porter some of the blightest minds in the software industry. US companies wanting easy access to India's impressive, English speaking, IT talent pool are typically hamstrung by the many hurdles posed by the different cultures and business approach, as well as opposite time zones. Porter has overcome these major obstacles by putting US managers in India to provide better service for US customers, and by accommodating Catalytic developers on campus in one of the most unique developments anywhere. Despite a family background in real estate, Porter did not go to India initially to build a city. He didn't go to India to build a small company either, but when faced with the expensive, crumbling concrete office buildings of India's cities, he decided to build his own. P0I1er hunted for a construction option his cutting edge that was low cost, safe, modular, fast, and software services that could be sourced 100% from within company.

within the techie staff not unlike that experienced as a member of Delta Upsilon. Conducting business in India is not without its peculiarities and challenges for these two Washington State men. A sense of humor and a strong sense of purpose have been critical factors in managing the many curve balls that India dishes out to the uninitiated. In the early days especially, there were many challenges. For instance, when the company's new photocopier arrived daubed with pink paint, and his new power transformer was set ablaze on the day of its alTival , Porter learned that these were Hindu blessing rituals, not acts of vandalism as he first thought. Now, the company preserves the bland but clean exteriors of its computer hardware and other equipment by blessing the office buildings and its contents as one; a streamlined solution to a cultural necessity. Brothers Porter and Martin have also learned the Indian way of doing business, which is more relationship-oriented than the US way. Eating together plays a central role to many business relationships, which is not always an easy task for the delicate sensibilities of the western digestive tract. But failing to partake of the food that is offered makes evelyone uncomfortable and thus the two have leamed tricks such as dowsing the notoriously hot Hyderabad bilyani in soothing curd (yogurt) before ingesting. Construction posed its own set of problems as roaming water buffaloes can't resist swimming in concrete curing tanks and tramping through the construction zones. One water buffalo even got itself wedged in a fiber optic trench after a rainstorm and it took a dozen laborers half a day to drag it out. Sadly the water buffalo did not survive the experience and another half day was spent consoling its grieving owner. Fortunately, a pelimeter fence now keeps herds of goats, sheep, cows, water buffaloes, and unauthorized people out of the SOO-acre property. This has also allowed much of the local flora and fauna to return unmolested and reduced the fly population to nearly North American levels.
