DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY/JANUARY 1994

At its November 1993 meeting, the Fraternity Board of Directors approved a series of 5 priorities and 10 continuing goals and objectives for staff and board focus during the coming year. Your suggestions and feedback regarding these priorities are encouraged. Five Priorities I. Aggressively pursue internal growth and stabilize the chapter base: Increased membership and stable chapters are essential to generate the funds needed to provide vital programs and services to enrich the fraternal experience for undergraduates. Membership growth is most easily achieved where undergraduate chapters exist or have existed, and there is a strong alumni presence. 2. Selectively pursue external growth: Establishing a new DU colony is difficult and time-consuming, particularly in the absence of housing assistance. We should, therefore, pursue those opportunities where we have a high probability of generating and sustaining chapters of 50+ members, as identified in DU's approved expansion plan. Strong colonies are usually found where strong local alumni support can be obtained, housing funds are or can be made available, or where the greek housing situation will allow our colony to easily become competitive without the need for large sums of money. 3. Develop a chapter housing assistance program: Our past experience with housing has been poor, as we have essentially served as the "mortgagor of last resort." Minimal assistance has been provided to local chapters and this has hurt our expansion efforts. A Board committee will be formed to work with the Executive Director. They will analyze the "best practices" of the best fraternities and submit a report and recommendations at the summer 1994 Board meeting. 4. Diversify the financial base: Endowment fund income and Educational Foundation grants amount to about $185,000 a year, or about 25% of our $700,000 budget. Thus, 75% of our funding must come from undergraduate pledge, initiation, and member fees. A Board committee will be formed to consider the matter and to develop recommendations for Board consideration at its summer 1994 meeting. 5. Improve undergraduate educational programming: Traditional programming approaches must be revised to make them relevant to today' s undergraduates. In turn, such improvements make membership in DU more attractive and help us achieve membership goals.

Ten Continuing Goals and Objectives I. Focus our improvement efforts and our reports on results, recognizing that process is not the end, but rather the means to achieve the desired results. 2. Utilize benchmarking as the fundamental basis for evaluating the activities and operations of the Fraternity, undergraduate, and alumni chapters. This is accomplished by surveying the "best practices" of com petitive fraternities. 3. Continue active participation in National Interfraternity Conference activities in order to keep current and competitive. 4. Continue to stress the need for community service by our undergraduates, encouraging and recognizing participation in philanthropic causes. 5. Fully implement the provisions of the Board policy on open communications to keep the membership advised of major issues, and to develop consensus to the degree possible, keeping paramount the best interests of the Fraternity. 6. Balance the budget each year without reducing the Permanent Trust Fund. 7. At least every other year, review the Fraternity publications (Cornerstone, Seven Stars, Alumni Chapter Guide, Loss Prevention Manual) and revise if warranted. 8. Develop quality educational programs for use at the Leadership Institute and the Regional Leadership Seminars. Maximize the educational benefit by presenting programs that participants can, in turn, implement in their chapters. 9. Continue to improve the fraternity insurance program, providing timely and helpful loss prevention information to our chapters. 10. Continue to improve the quality and the content of the Quarterly, discussing subjects of substance that have an impact on our operations and our members.

never stop astonishing the interfraternity community with your unique talents and abilities. I'm sure Delta Upsilon will grow, develop and prosper under your tutelage." Frank Sanders Senior Director of Chapter Services Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity Cufaude's professional involvement has made him a well-known figure to most college and university administrators. He has he I d numerous leadership positions within the Association of Fraternity Advisors, the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators, and the National Associatio 11 for Campus Activities.

Viewpoint "I don't want to be rude," he said, "but why would we have a Lambda Chi running DUT' He wasn't the first to ask this question. I doubt he wiII be the last, so I thought it would be best for me to answer the question for all of you who may be asking yourself...or others. It's funny, This young man's question is one of many I have received, From Delta Upsilon members, the question has been about being a Lambda Chi. From some of my Lambda Chi brothers, it has been about leading Delta Upsilon. From some of my college friends, it has been about "getting a real job instead of playing fraternity." My response to him began with his very choice of language: "run" the fraternity. It implies that the Executive Director runs the fraternity, making the most critical decisions which affect its future; thus, the fraternity would be best served by a member. But that's not whatthe Executive Director does. That's not what I was hired to do. The fraternity is "run" by the Board of Directors, the body whom you elect, you being the undergraduates and alumni members of Delta Upsilon. The Directors serve the fraternity at your request. I serve the fraternity at theirs. The Executive Director of any organization must believe in the values and ideals of that organization, have an open mind, make a commitment to listening to the needs and wants of the undergraduate and alumni membership, possess a network ofprofessional colleagues with whom one can obtain new ideas to benefit the fraternity, and have the experience and creativity necessary to develop the most innovative resources and programs for members. I am not sure these qualities require being a member of Delta Upsilon. In fact, I am not convinced serving as the Executive Director of a fraternal organization requires being a member of any fraternal organization. I am an honorary initiate of Lambda Chi Alpha. For some of you that may make my working for Delta Upsilon a bit more palatable. For others, your reaction may now be, "He isn't even really a Greek." I cannot deny your feelings or reactions, nor would I want to do so. What I can do is prove myself worthy of the opportunity to serve as your Executive Director. My job is not to "run" the fraternity. My job is to provide the leadership to the staff and volunteers to realize the Board's vision for Delta Upsilon. My job is to ensure that the programs and resources are in place for each member to have the most beneficial fraternity experience possible. My job is to build relationships with undergraduates, alumni, college administrators, community representatives, and leaders of other fraternal groups and associations, We must work together to add value to the lives of each member of Delta Upsilon, the campuses where chapters are located, and the communities in which chapter members reside, My pledge to you is to do just that. I encourage your participation and input in this effort.

Jeff Cufaude, Executive Director DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY/JANUARY 1994

rom a fan's point of view, he is the National Football League's [NFL] invisible man - and he prefers it that way. Follow professional football, and you are aware that the NFL has a Commissioner, Paul Tagliabue. When the media come calling, it's Mr. Tagliabue that gives the answers and gets the ink. But Tagliabue says that another man, "has brought exceptional abilities, integrity, and business leadership to the League office and the entire NFL." That "other man," is Neil Austrian, Swarthmore '60, the first-ever President of the NFL. Inhis interview with the DU Quarterly, we find in Brother Austrian a man of many accomplishments that are fueled by a natural curiosity, an insatiable appetite for challenges, and

DELTAUPSILON QUARTERLY/JANUARY 1994

a strong measure of entrepreneurial spirit. These attributes of his character have brought a string of remarkable successes, as he has served as a founding partner of the leverage buy-out firm, Dryden & Co; the first CEO in the joint venture between cable television's Showtime and the Movie Channel; and CEO of Doyle, Dane, Bernbach Advertising - all of which preceded his joining the NFL nearly three years ago. Achievements in the boardroom have been mirrored in his philanthropic involvement: Brother Austrian currently serves as Chairman of the Board of Trustees of his alma mater, Swarthmore College. While he has excelled in virtually every endeavor, the man neverthe-

less remains humble, approachable, and thankful for what life has brought him. Perhaps such an outlook is the result of Brother Austrian's family origins, as the grandson of Polish immigrants his grandfather walked from Poland to Marseilles to board a ship for the U.S. Grandfather Austrian's hard work in the "new world" allowed him to put two sons through Columbia University and graduate school. The constellation of factors that influenced Neil Austrian's development are impossible to name. But two things are sure: he is an outstandingly devoted family man, and an intelligent natural leader, who has brought distinction to every organization - including DU - with which he has been affiliated.

QUARTERLY: After you decided to atter z d Swarthmore College, what happened? AUST RIAN : " I wasn't sure what to study . I ended up as an e ngineer at a liberal arts school; we have a grea t engineering program at S warthmore. I go t [to schoo l] early for foo tball practice as a fres hma n ... and peo ple sa id, 'Well, if yo u 're goo d in ma th, yo u m ight as well start in engi neeri ng because you can always transfer out , but you ca n't tra n sfer in.' So I was stuck there for four years."

Q. Which engineering disciplin e did you cho ose? " I was a civi l engi neer, kno wing I ne ver wan ted to be an engi neer. "I played foot ba ll and lacrosse, [he was Captain of the foo tba ll team and an A ll-East Team selection in his jun ior and senior years] and I thoro ugh ly enjoyed it ... I had never played lacrosse before ... Swarthmore had great lacrosse the years I played - A very Bla k e, who was a legend in coaching , was our coach."

Q. Noll' you ha ve this degree in a fie ld tha r doesn't interest .1'011 - what ideas did you have about a career at that stage ? - 'I had none . I knew I had to get a job ; my mot:herdied while 1wa s in college , my bro ther was then a sophomo re at Lehigh .

So ... I inter vie-wed with IBM o n campus and got a job with them in their sa les training area. It was great training in those days . " I was with IBM until October of '62, whe n I we nt into the Navy . T he Cuban mis sile cris is took off at tha t tim e, and I go t a noti ce to report for a draft phys ical. Rather than spending a co up le of years as an enlisted pe rson, where you were n 't given a cho ice of what todo, I entered Officer Ca ndidate Sc hoo l at Newport [Rhode Island].

Wha t DU Members hip Did For Me: "One of the things that at least our chapter had, and I think DU stood for, was respect for the individual. One of the things I did learn , is that while you may not agree with e verybody's point of vie w, you shouldn' t trash it or have disrespect towards it." "I think that's really helped me in business, because it' s helped me at least be better able to pull a disparate group of peopl e together on occa sio n, who all have pretty strong point s of view ."

DELTA UPSILON Q UARTERL Y/ JA NUA RY 1994

"Well, I wasn' t sure what I was going to do - maybe start my own investment bank ing firm again , or whateve r. But then some friends who were running Dillon Read, one of the premiere investment bank s, called me and they had just raised a large fund to do leveraged buy-outs , and asked if I would be willing to come and join them as a partner and help them manage that fund and invest it - which I did. I was very happy doing that, when out of the blue, Paul Tagliabue called."

Q: Gilt ofthe blue, yo u got a callfro m the Comm issio ner of the NFL ? "Well, I had known Pete Rozelle [former NFL Commissioner] and Art Modell [owner of the Cleveland Browns], but Paul [Tagliabue] and I started talking in 1990, and I decided this [working for the NFL] would be a fun thing to do for awhile ."

Q: It makes one pause to consider how the League operated bef ore yo u came along, with all that work that yo urposition requ ires. "I think a lot of things kinda went to the bottom of the pile. I also think that in the last five or six years, things reall y exploded in terms of issues and this becoming a big business. The televi sion part of the business has just become staggering ... "In 1987, '88, and ' 89, each of the 28 clubs got $ 17 million a year for their telev ision contracts. In ' 93, each club [received] close to $4 1 millio n from network tele vision ... and the licensing merchandising business [NFL Proper ties] which repo rts to me, has grown exponentially. It's a major business today ." Q: Is there one particularfran chise that leads the way in terms of sale s ? "In the past four years , the L.A . Raiders have sold more gear , and that 's basic ally because of the black and silve r. But I have to say since last year's Super Bowl, the Cowboys lead the way. But all teams share in that [sales revenue] equally , 28 ways." Q: But again, with all there is to do, yo u tend to hear only about Tagliabue. "Sure. I try not to be heard ."

Q: Did yourjob exis t at the NFL before you filled it? "No . They created the job as President and Chief Operating Officer, and what they tried was to put all of the business functions under my responsibility. But it's still pretty collegial- I mean Paul and I work very well together. The re are things I get involved in that I had no idea I would be involved in. "He' s a great person to work with and I've reall y enjoyed it. It's a far different job than I thought it would be."

Q: What did you think it would be ? "I didn 't think it would be this intensi ve, to be honest. I really thought that having worked 17-hour days all my life, I'd have a little bit more time to myself in this job ... So, I think it's that aspect that' s surprised me in terms of how much goes on, and how many aspects of running a sports league there are that the public never sees ."

Q: So, spec ifically, what are your responsib lities ? "All broadcasting, which is all of our television ; all speci al events, which would include all of the playoff games , confe rence champions, Super Bowl, Pro Bow l ... " Q: So you negotiate television contracts ? "The television is done in a lump sum , but let's just take the Super Bowl, for example. It's basically a four- or five-day event, as opposed to a single game . So all of the event planning, and the specia l events dep artment, is ultimately the Commissioner 's responsibility, but it' s really mine at this poin t. "All the parties - the half-time [I'll take credit for Michael Jackson last year , good or bad], everyth ing that goes on during the game, pricin g of the tickets - every aspect of the game itself as well as all the events surrounding the game; all the financial functions of the League ; all the international aspects of the League; NFL films ; NFL Properties, repor t to me."

Q: Going back to Michael Jackson, lI'as that Neil Austrian sitting around the table, sayin g, 'What ifwe had Michael at the Super Bowl ?'

"It was a lot of people, so it's hard to say . But we did make the deci sion that given the large television audiences we were drawing, that it was import ant to do something for the television fan s that hadn 't been done before. "In the past , mo st of the half times were what I'll call ' Disne yesque' kinds of productions, and they were very good. But very hard to appreciate at home becau se you don 't get the whole panorama, other than a long shot, which is very hard to enjo y ... and we decided last year to mayb e make a statement that this was such a major event, with 200+ million pe ople watchin g it live ... that we would do something different. "We started talking about what would be a bl ockbuster kind of venue, and you co me up with one name . Now , given all the problems that have happened since, I am very happy that we hadn 't contracted for Michael thi s year, or we would be facing some of the issu es you' d have to face ... "

Q: Inell/ding his not necessarily being the re. "That's correct." Q: How do vou beat a blockbuster like that fo r 1994?

"You don 't. I thinkweknew going into it, there was no way you 'd get any type of entertainment that can top that ... There are a number of really fir st-rate entertainers, but the y don' t have the world-wide appea l and inte rest that Michael had at the time . And there are very few stars that com e alon g in a lifetime with that kind of universal appeal. " And what most people don't realize, is that we didn't pay Michael to do that. We don ated some mone y tochari ty and we hel ped cover so me of the produ ction co sts, but Micha el did not ask for, nor did he receive a performance fee. "

Q: The messa ge of Michael Jackson 's enti re half-tim e piece was a nice tie-in to the NFL 'sc haritabte work with andfor child ren. " Well, the whol e children aspect is where we m ade our contribution to Michael' s charity. And he's been doing this for years, which is wh at' s so disappointing about all the events

that hav e co me out after that. It' s hard forme to belie ve, and personally I chose not to believe, that until everything' s been said and done and all the evidence is presented - it' s ju st too easy toda y to make allegations ."

Q: What sustains your interest in what you do after almost three years on the j ob ? "One, I love football. Having played, having had my kids play, I love the game. I think what makes it fun to com e to work every day is that the NFL is America' s passion. There ' s nowhere I go, anyw here in the United State s, that when people find out what I do, they don 't have a point of vie w on something. "Why did this team let this guygo? Why did the referee make this kind of call ? Wh y do you schedule games this way ? Why don 't you get this guy for half-time ? Everybod y has a point of view , eve rybody has a favorite team . When you get the kind of ratin gs we do , year in, year out , you really come to the conclusion this is America' s favorit e sport, there is no question about it.

"To me, DU was a Ve1"y important part of my life, and why it's still an' important part, are the friends I made. They're my friends for life, and I think that's what it's all about." "I also think we are com ing to a cro ssroad s in this sport (if we haven 't already arri ved there) over the next four or five years. And I'd kind of like to be a part of that. We just concluded a labor agreement that 'll run through 1999. It'll be the longest labor agreement - six years - in any pro fessional sport. 'T he whole televi sion world is clearly changing , and I'd like to at least see so me of those changes and see where the League ends up in that. Becau se as you look down the road, the key to anythin g that ' s happ enin g with the new technologies, is the prog rammin g - and we ' ve got the hotte st programming. " It's also been a great job from a family standpoint. The three older kids are out , but

they all co me back to the Su per Bowl. The two yo unger ones love go ing to footb all games . My wife is a fan, an absolute fan . My son, Patrick, at 9, has basically been adopt ed by the Phil adelphi a Eag les as their good luck symbo l and charm. I think from his perspective now, if I did anything else he 'd be distrau ght. So I'm going to have to stay here awhile. "Jess ie, who ' s II , is extr em ely talent ed and sang the Nati onal Anthem in Toky o, Barcelon a, and New Orlean s. So, the famil y has go tten more involve d in thisj ob, than any other job I' ve had."

Q: Since it sounds as though you 're ntaking a commitment to the NFL 'sfuture, tell us about its past. What ll'ere the most importan t events in the NFL's development ? "I think the most importa nt events in the League ' s histor y were probably fi rst in choosing Pet e Rozelle as the Commissioner back in 1960."

Q: Why is that ? "Pete brought the NFL out of the Dark Age s. Bert Bell had an office down out side Philadelphia, and the League wasn't even perceived as a major force . What Pete was able to accomplish with his vision, was that the way a league co uld successfully prom ote itself, market itsel f, and comp ete, was if it had a national sense of what was to be acco mplish ed, as well as quality throu ghout the League. "P ete moved the office to New York, and then gQ1 the Ram s, the Giants, the Browns. and I want to say the Colts, to give up their own individ ual television contracts, and allow the League the righ t to go out and sec ure tele vision contrac ts on behalf of all the clubs and share it equall y. To me, that was the 1110st important step that the League ever took . "As yo u look back, that is probably one of the reasons why we have succeeded, because a team in Green Bay ca n compe te with a team in New York or Los Angele s. I look at baseball and I find it very. very dif ficult , if yo u owned the Pittsburgh Pirates , to keep the Pirates in baseball , becau se they 've got free agenc y; they don 't have a salar y cap ; their revenue strea ms are significantly smaller than New York or LA team s. I don' t know how yo u co mpete. (See Austrian, continued on p.16)

COLLEGIATE REVIEW ----

For those not attending, or for anyone who is ever in the area, please make an effort to stop by the chapter house. We would love to meet and visit with you. Joseph J. Sprovieri '94, vice President Bucknell University The dominant themes thus far for our Demosthenean Chapter have been innovation and growth. Realizing the delicate state of greek life on campus, we have carefully planned an agenda to keep our development ahead of the norm. We began fulfilling those plans by pledging 36 exceptional sophomore men in September, which stands as a great accomplishment for our brotherhood, considering the lingering adjustments to sophomore rush. These pledges represent the aggressive drive ofDU as we hope to expand our prospects for leadership and success in coming years. In step with our innovative focus, an ambitious program of house improvements is currently being undertaken. Thriving off the energy and generous contributions of our alumni and parents associations, our plans for house upgrading are progressing faster than expected. It is good to know that in a time of economic cutbacks, we have a strong base of support. Recent weeks have allowed our Demie Chapter to share our proud distinctions and traditions with those people close to us. Parents Weekend ran smoothly and was enjoyed by all who attended; Homecoming retained its legendary status as a phenomenal weekend to honor those alumni who passed before us. Looking back on the fall reminds us of the achievements made possible through cooperation, hard work, and brotherhood. Looking ahead leaves us with nothing but excitement and the expectation that our innovation and growth will continue. Kevin R. S. Nicholas '95 Risk Manager/Public Relations California Polytechnic State University The last quarter has been an exciting one for the Cal Poly Chapter. We made it to the IFC football playoffs and lost to the #1 seed in a close 12-14 battle. Our social calendar has been keeping us busy, and it will be even better next quarter. We have exchanges planned with three of the top sororities as well as our winter formal in Monterey. We ranked fourth in scholarship out of 18 IFC fraternities. We are especially proud of our new chapter room. After several months of hard work, it is finally completed. We are continuing to excel in all areas and have truly upheld our philosophy atthe Cal Poly Chapter - "GO 90!" Stuart Hay '94, President University of Calgary The fall semester started with an intensive rush program, resulting in one of the largest pledge classes to date. Once again, the rush stag was immensely popular, and we would like to thank all the alumni for attending. The chapter enjoyed tremendous success during the first two months of school in terms of exposure. We won the greek week trophy once again for our participation and condom relay event promoting AIDS awareness, and we were pictured on the front cover of the city newspaper (circulation of about 400,000). Presently, we are gearing up for our Halloween bash, which in the past has been tremendously successful. Also this semester, we have planned a food drive with the Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity within the com-

------

munity, to help those less fortunate during the Christmas holidays. We look forward to meeting the brothers from Toronto, University of Washington, and California (Berkeley) chapters while on three our our planned road trips for this semester. Darryl Zoback '94, Membership Education University of California - Berkeley We have pledged four outstanding men who have already contributed significantly to the Fraternity. In October, we participated in an event to benefit Easter Seals, and have been actively involved in improving the image ofDU and the greek system to the community. We have enjoyed a fun social semester, thanks to Chris 'Techno" Vadnais and Will "I Hear Artillery" Gilmore. We have also worked hard to improve the chapter house in preparation for RLS in February. Everyone at the California Chapter looks forward to seeing all the brothers from Arizona, California, Oregon, Washington, and Canada! See you in February. John D. Olson '94, President Carnegie Mellon University As the fall semester came to an end, we had a chance to review and renew our goals and the founding principles of our Fraternity. With the addition of 16 new pledges, we look forward to a promising future. The fall semester also yielded the best pledge class on campus, and brought to our attention what being a DU really is all about. The Carnegie Chapter created the first annual food drive of its kind on campus, which provided many Pittsburgh area families with a holiday meal. We also participated in the Adopt-a-Highway campaign of the Greater Pittsburgh area. Our chapter achieved a GPA of 3.08, ranking us among the top five fraternities, and above the all-men's and all-fraternity averages. This spring we hope to have another successful performance in the greek sing competition, accompanied by our traditionally strong showing during Spring Carnival weekend in the booth and buggy competitions (April 15 and 16). We extend an invitation to all alumni for the weekend, for the festivities and for reminiscing about your time at Carnegie Mellon. As a result of our accomplishments, the Carnegie Chapter's direction has recently taken a clearer path toward the goals and principles set forth by our Fraternity. Marc Mileto '94, President University of Chicago The Chicago Chapter finished the 1992-93 school year with an extremely strong showing atthe University's annual Inter-Fraternity Sing. We had almost 80 brothers and alumni present for the festivities. We were extremely pleased with the turnout and hope the next event will be as successful. This fall, the chapter pledged its largest and strongest fall class ever. Spring rush chair Andrew Hack secured a class of fi ve quality men. In the first few weeks of this quarter, fall rush chair Doron Kahana secured three men for the winter pledge class. Due to the University's bid regulations, freshmen cannot be bid until the ninth week of their first quarter; however, we anticipate pledging 10 to 15 men. Last spring the chapter visited the Toronto Chapter which was a high point for many brothers. Besides visiting the Skydome and CV Tower, we had a taste of the French influence that pervades the region. The entire brother-

hood wishes to thank the Toronto Chapter for their gracious hospitality. Several brothers attended the Leadership Institute, and the motivational and leadership ideas have been put to work here in Chicago. The camaraderie and exchange of ideas will be invaluable to those who attended. The chapter house underwent a considerable facelift over the summer. Thanks to the alumni board and the generosity of several of its members, the chapter was able to remove the kitchen, buy a new stove and freezer, and repair lots of those little things that just needed to be repaired. Finally, the Chicago Chapter extends an invitation to all DU chapters to come visit our home here in Chicago. Our experience in Toronto was a memorable one, and we would like the opportunity to share such an experience with another chapter here. We want all alumni to feel welcome to drop by the chapter house. Geoffrey A. Bonn '95, President Clarkson University The Clarkson Chapter is proud to announce that it has initiated its spring pledge class. Earlier this fall, eight men took the Oath of Initiation, and became proud members of the Fraternity. The chapter took in two additional men through fall rush efforts. The chapter has been very busy this fall. After placing 2nd in grades on campus during the spring, the chapter has been striving to maintain this standard. Members worked to provide children in the Potsdam area with fire truck rides for Halloween. Additionally, Delta Upsilon helped to sponsor the "Say No to Drugs" campaign for the Potsdam-Canton school district. The chapter would like to thank all those alumni who attended last summer's Alumni Weekend. A good time was had by all, and the undergraduate chapter is looking forward to an equally successful alumni event in the summer of 1994. Further details will be provided as the event draws nearer. The members would like to invite any and all alumni in the Potsdam area to visit the chapter. Headquarters Staf] Colgate University Much has changed at Colgate since the end of last year. We have made house improvements such as repainting our hallways and living room with the aid of our 30 member pledge class. Plans are also being developed for new windows. Our brothers are once again highly involved with intramural and varsity athletics. Our philanthropic efforts continue to be a strong point as well. Brothers give time to an area soup kitchen and with the Big Brothers program. On a sadder note, we held a memorial service on October 2 for Kyndle Mongeon '94, who was killed last April after being stabbed at a party at a nearby school. The ceremony included the dedication of two spruce trees and a rock which bears a plaque reading, "In Memory of Our Brother Kyndle O. Mongeon 'The Best' #70 1972 - 1993" It was Parents' Weekend and Kyndlc' s family made the trip from Vermont. We had a dinner following the ceremony. Kyndle is deeply missed; he will never be forgotten. Je.ffWal/ '95, Secretary

COLLEGIATE REVIEW------

University of Colorado After several years of small pledge elasses and deelining membership, the Colorado Chapter is pleased to announce its rebirth. Currently we have a strong pledge elass of I I men and have plans to pledge another 10 men before the semester ends. Everyone involved has a vigor and drive that will take us into the future as a strong, thriving chapter at the University of Colorado. By next fall, our goal is to move back into a chapter house so that we can deliver a richer fraternity life to the new initiates. While we do not have a house now, we still remain active in CU' s greek system. In fact, our pledge class won the IFC Pledge Olympics this year. We also had our haunted house philanthropy with Alpha Omicron Pi and Acacia. Things are going great and we are havin fun, too. You can reach me at (303) 938-8495. Hardy Chambliss '94. President

Cornell University It was a busy fall for CornelI DU. For the first time in two years the house is at full occupancy based on two successi ve large pledge classes, both in the top five on campus. We also have a new residential advisor, Dean Divas, who will be assisting us with spring rush and improving chapter relations. We are very proud of ranking 4th in GPA among fraternities. We also take pride in the performances of many of our brothers with the varsity football team. Co-Captain Chris Zingo was selected first team All-Ivy for the second consecutive year. Chris coneluded his career as Cornell's all-time leading tackler with 512 over his three year varsity career. Co-Captain Bill Lazor finished his career as a three year starter and the holder of every Cornell passing record. Junior Terry Golden was voted to second team All-Ivy, while Ryan Blattenberger and Mike McKean gained honorable mention. Dick Emmet '94. President

Creighton University This fall has been a busy and fruitful one for the men of the Creighton Chapter. A successful rush has yielded eight pledges, one of the largest fall classes in recent years. House improvements have been another source of pride. The house has a new kitchen from floor to ceiling that is a must see for alumni in the area. Alumni are also invited to attend the Creighton Chapter's 25th anniversary formal on April 9 at the Ramada Central. Make your plans now; we are looking forward to seeing a large alumni reunion. In short, chapter activities have been plentiful and successful this fall. Our annual Teetera-thou. co-sponsored by Alpha Phi, raised over $600 for The Villages and the American Heart Association. Date parties and brotherhood events have added to the fun. The Creighton Chapter is certainly doing well. Jason Nord '94, President

Denison University It has been both a demanding and rewarding first semester for the Denison Chapter. Our recent installation (March 1993) provided us with many new challenges and opportunities. The semester started out with a rainy but successful greek week. Homecoming proved to be a successful and enjoyable weekend for all. We would like to thank all involved alumni for their counsel and guidance in making our dream of installation a reality. With many alumni returning for the weekend, the chapter was able to show off its newest pledge elass. DU did better than all other fraternities on campus during this fall's sophomore rush. This is a sure sign that DU is here to stay at Denison. Thank you to all those chapters and colonies who sent letters of congratulations for our installation. The support and expressions of brotherhood were appreciated. Special thanks to the Kent State brothers, who came in full force to welcome us into Delta Upsilon. With the successes of the past semester still fresh in our minds, we are looking forward to the challenges that lie ahead. Once again men can walk the Denison campus with the pride instilled in them by Delta Upsilon. Jason M. Drum '94, President

DePauw University The DePauw Chapter of Delta Upsilon had an outstanding year. On August I, we were presented with the Sweepstakes Award, naming us the most outstanding DU chapter internationally. It is the third time in six years that we have been presented this award. Coupled with our achievement of the DePauw University's President's Award for Fraternal Excellence, we had an excellent foundation heading into fall rush. Under the leadership of Kevin Miller, rush chair, Nathan HUll, vp internal, Brian Hatton and Ben Stringfellow, assistant rush chairmen, our chapter added an unprecedented 32 new pledges, including five spring pledges, These men are leaders on campus and will guide our chapter to new levels of excellence in the future. Our two big fall philanthropies, the DU Jump-a-Thou and our Halloween Safehouse, under the guidance of Ross Clayton, vp external, and Matt Thayer, philanthropy chair, were great successes. On top of raising money for The Villages, we were able to help unite the DePauw Campus and the Greencastle community. Finally, I wish to extend an invitation to all of our alumni to become more involved with our chapter. With your help we can continue a high levels of excellence. Michael J. Sheridan '94, President

Culver-Stockton College We have had a great semester. Fall rush produced 15new pledges, raising our number to 50. We are now the largest fraternity at CulverStockton. We are attempting to rent a house, thanks to the generous contributions from alumni and the brothers all pulling together. We have answered phones for the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon, hiked for The Villages, and slept in the snow during Homeless Rally. Our alumni association is becoming more orga12

California State University - Fresno The Fresno Chapter is doing well and rebounding nicely from low numbers last fall. DU is proud to have presented the chapter the President's A ward for Improvement, complimenting their achievements overthe past year. Special thanks to all those alumni who have played a key role in the rebirth of the chapter. Headquarters Staff

Georgia Institute of Technology At the beginning of fall quarter, the Georgia Tech Chapter pledged 15 outstanding students. We expect several excellent men to pledge in the winter. The chapter has volunteered to host the Regional Leadership Seminar, after a suecessfulmeeting last year. The Wings Across the World organization, a company started by the Georgia Tech Chapter, has signed a contract with the Peace Corps and is now ready to begin making shipments to Third World countries. If you are unaware, the objective of this project is to successfully ship supplementary medical supplies from hospitals to Third World countries. Our members have begun attending various philanthropic activities and are compiling more hours of service than ever before. With Homecoming approaching, we will be extremely busy and are looking forward to another successful year. Michael Acree '97, Secretarv

University of Guelph The Guelph Chapterextends a belated MelTY Christmas and Happy New Year to all brothers. After a quick restructuring at the beginning of the year, our chapter was well off to a fantastic start. We are proud that our OPA has increased again. Our newly acquired house has been a great success with all members taking advantage of the new faci Iities. The chapter continues to have strong ties with the community, donating countless volunteer hours at the Food Bank and various donations to charities with other greek organizations as part of our strong philanthropy program. We initiated five new members. and stress that quality not quantity is what carries our chapter into the future. The chapter continues to make progress with the University's administration and relations on campus with other greeks remain strong. Congratulations to all graduated brothers and alumni. The Guelph Chapter extends a warm welcome and open door to any brothers to visit, and special mention to Lou Mignardi on his engagement. The Guelph Chapter continues to be strong and devoted during these recessionary times; just proving again our potential for future growth and progress. Michael E. Nolan '94, President

Hamilton College The Hamilton chapter is coming off a very successful spring semester. Pledging 22 men during the spring of 1993, the chapter initiated 100 percent of the pledge class at the beginning of the fall semester. Activities this fall included alumni gatherings, philanthropy projects and house improvements. Several alumni from classes in the 50's thru elasses in the 90's developed and renewed the ties of brotherhood at the annual Homecoming reception held at the chapter house. Helping underprivileged kids, the chapter sponsored a Haunted House and Trust Treat program. Finally, the chapter completely repainted the inside of the house and plan to redo the floors in the main room next semester. The chapter would like to encourage all alumni to attend the ever popular Clambake during the first weekend in May. More details concerning this event will follow or if you have any questions please direct them to the chapter house. Headquarters Staff

COLLEGIATE REVIEW Univcrsitv of Houston The Houston eha'PICf has been very busy. We began the Iall tcrm with a vigorous rush that allowed us to pledge 16of the best men rushing. As a result. we have increased our roster by half and have set equally aggressive spring rush goals. We haw also begun implementing a new scholarship program. This new policy is designed to he rigorous and fair, catering to the needs of the individual member, rather than the chapter as a whole. We expect our chapter GPA to rise near a 3.0 at the close of the semester. In addition to scholarship and rush, we have also had a successful intramural season. We began with a few upsetting losses in flag football. but have regain our reputation as good sports by sweeping the soccer season and making the playoffs. In other news, we are in the midst of resurrecting our annual all-greek pushball tournament. If everything goes as planned, we should raise over $300 for a local chari tv. Finally. I would like to thank all of our alumni for their help this past year. We would not be successful without their hard work and patience. Brian L. Jones '94, President University of Illinois Things at the Illil;ois Chapter have been excellent this semester. Our fall pledge class of 16 men are ready for initiation and we already have five men for the spring pledge class. For our philanthropy we had the local Boys & Girls Club at the house, where we sat up a haunted house and did various things including story telling and face painting. We are donating food on behalf of the city to area families in need. Socially, we are poised for seven exchanges in the spring semester and participation in the Mom's Day show. During the fall, we won an award for our float entry in the Homecoming parade, while our alumni enjoyed a great cocktail hour after the game. Everyone here looking forward to a great holiday break and a fabulous spring semester, and wish the same for everyone else. Jeffrey L. Junkas '95, President

Indiana University The Indiana Chapter enjoyed a successful 1992-93 with our GPA again being above the all-men's and all-fraternity averages. Again, brothers excelling in scholarship received gifts and were recognized at the steak and shrimp dinner. Four brothers each received a $250 scholarship. With a slow start last year, DU regained its composure and finished in a solid third place. The IU Sing was, as always, outstanding and an event we look forward to each year. While our 7th place finish in the Little 500 was a little disappointing, we are quite proud of our team and look forward to this year's competition. The Bloomington greek system faced a new rush format this fall. Fraternity rush is now patterned around sorority rush, with all rushees being requires to visit every chapter in order to be eligible to pledge. We invite all alumni to visit the chapter and share our successes. Justin Kurpius 'W, Past President

Purdue University chapter members have a new house to call home. group is one that is enthusiastic and dedicated to success. Our chapter once again has an average GPA of over 3.0, and is becoming more involved on campus, making our presence known as greek, academic, and individual leaders. A small but quality fall pledge class to be initiated this winter will enhance our chapter membership, and we look forward to a larger class in the spring. Your lona brothers are workins hard to bring our chapter back up to the standards of Delta Upsilon Fraternity. Any assistance in this area from alumni in the New York tri-state area (or anywhere else) will be most welcome and appreciated.

do for the campus and the community. Several brothers are involved in various campus organizations, including athletics and the Student Alumni Association. Our first philanthropy was held November 7, helping the Big Brother Program at the Beloit Children's Home. We hosted children at the chapter house for games and crafts. We are enthusiastic about our new philanthropy, and feel confident that the kids enjoyed themselves. We would like to thank all of the alumni who made it back for Homecoming weekend We were glad to see you, and hope th';nyou wer~ impressed with our chapter. We would like to thank all of you for sticking by us the past few years. We will continue this trend to maintain ourselves as a strong chapter well into the future. We welcome you to a new age of Delta Upsilon at Iowa State University. Bradley C. Johnson '94, President

University of Iowa

The men of the lo~va Chapter met at the Highlander Inn in Iowa City and set chapter goals for the 1993-94 school year. For a goal to be set, over 50% of the chapter had to approve the goal and believe it was achievable. Among our goals are a chapter GPA of2.8, winning the Fraternal Excellence Award, have a l G-membel' corporation board, winning intramurals. We are also going to start a plaque to recognize those alumni who donate to our chapter. We have 17 other primary goals that the chapter agreed to support. Each is geared to place us in one distinct position: The Leader of the Pack. I would like to thank all those alumni who contributed to our work week fund. We received over $950 which went directly toward house improvements. Robert J. Black '95, Presidem

Iowa State University With the support of alumni and the entire membership, the Executive Council has begun to make positive changes to the chapter. As Iowa State rush numbers continue to decline, we still maintain a strong rush program. We were able to recruit l5qualitypledges that will be guiding our chapter in years to come. We have also renovated our pledge program to provide a more positive direction. We are beginning to emphasize what we can

Johns Hopkins University The chapter began the school year with tremendous strides on the philanthropic and social scenes. Brothers came out in record numbers for the seasonal neighborhood clean-up and Red Cross blood drives, and the spring semester will see the start of a DU sponsored crime watch in Baltimore. DU victories continue to pile up on the scoreboards ofIntramural athletics, and with brothers becoming more visible on the Hopkins scene, potential rushees will continue to increase. December 8 marked the chapter's 65th anniversary. Brothers celebrated by showing their pride on campus and throwing the 65th Annual Holiday Invitational to benefit the American Cancer Society. After a rigorous semester and a restful Christmas break, we are looking forward to a creat pledge class in the spring. See you all at H~me足 coming! Michael S. A. Tolen '94, President

University of Kansas Fall 1993 kicked off another successful year at the Kansas Chapter. This year we signed 30 pledges, the largest pledge class in three years. Academics promise to be a strong point. For the last three years, DU has won the most improved grades award, and after last semester's DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY/JANUARY 1994

COLLEGIATE REVIEW 8th place finish, we are expecting to break into the top five. Athletically, DU is dominating the Hill in sports. With second place finishes in softball and football, DU is ranked first over all. In Rock Chalk Revue, we are once again looking for a strong showing. Our partners, Alpha Gamma Delta, are the most talented women on the KU campus, and with their help, we have an excellent chance of doing well. On campus we remain heavily involved with DUs in the student senate, varsity athletics, Interfraternity Council and other major organizations. DU is making an impact at KU. Kipp \lann '94, President

Kansas State University The fall semester in Manhattan started off with a renewed Commitment to Excellence. We are working to reach new levels of achievement in all areas, but in particular we want to attain excellence in academics, campus involvement, and intramurals. In the spring of 1993, we finished the year fifth of26 fraternities in grades with a 2.94 cumulative GPA. We have been in the top five in grades and the top ten in intramurals for the past four semesters. Over the summer, a delegation of four undergraduates and four alumni attended the Leadership Institute. We were pleased to bring home the Trustees' Award for Excellence, the Chapter Publicity/Advertising Award, and the Academic Achievement Award. We enjoyed meeting brothers from other chapters, and are working to enact the ideas suggested at the Institute to improve our chapter. This summer we signed 26 new members who bring a variety of ;cholastic, athletic, and leadership experience to the chapter. A revised new member manual has helped them focus on excellence in all their endeavors. They have already taken the initiative to help raise over $3000 for Farrell Library on campus. The chapter has also been active in giving time and money to our international philanthropy, The Villages. We all had a great time spending a day with the kids in Topeka, and we have presented them with donations exceeding $3000. Individual members are sponsoring kids during Christmas and providing them with gifts. Other high Iights this semester have included an alumni board meeting and house retreat, initiating five new brothers, having an AIDS awareness presentation, and many other activities. We would like to thank our Mothers' Club and Alumni Association for the house improvements they have made possible. We are happy to see increased alumni involvement, and excited to see the progress made on the Vision 2000 project concerning long range planning. Chapter activities are going very well at 1425 University Drive, but we are always looking for recommendations of incoming students who could further our commitment to excellence. If you have a recommendation, send a letter or call 9 13/539-236 I. Please stop by to see the house if you are in the area. Alumni are always welcome. William J. Bohr '93, President Kent State University The Kent State Chapter has been very busy since the semester began. Besides everyday improvements and remodeling of our new house, the chapter is working hard toward the University Gold Star Chapter Award. We pledged 16 men through the IFC Open Rush Forum. Our annual philanthropy Bounce Out Cancer, raised over $1200 for the American Cancer Society. 14

The chapter would like to thank Mike Cesa '76, and his wife for planning an excellent Homecoming. Thank you also to all the alumni who were in attendance. We would also like to congratulate our outstanding alumni chapter on being named Alumni Chapter of the Year at the Leadership Institute this summer. Mati R. Reeping '94, \lice President

Lehigh University We just finished a fantastic semester. Many members were on the varsity football team which won its first Patriot League championship since 1977. Brother David Cecchini '94 was named to the Kodak All-American team at wide receiver following a record-breaking year. Dave also received All League honors along with Brother Jason Mack '95 and Brother Bill Hahner '94. December 2 the chapter sponsored an event coordinated by Alumni President Mark Parseghian '48, to honor those directly responsible for the construction of the chapter house 25 years ago. Numerous alumni were able to return and a fantastic time was had by all. The chapter is on the move academically. Last semester we made the 2nd consecutive drastic jump on the all-fraternity academic list. We now stand 7th out of 27, a jump of 16 fraternities in only two semesters. This was due to great efforts by the students as well as provisions by alumni such as computers and a laser printer. Thanks to all alumni for making this possible. During the winter months the living room will be refinished. This will be the last area of the house to be renovated, and will finish the entire house in less than two years. Thanks to alumni that are participating in this costly endeavor. Thanks also to those who contributed to the Ben Davis - Erik Bird - AI Snyder Memorial Scholarship Fund. This was put together I 1/2 years ago in honor of three fine young men and brothers that are no longer with us. Donations can be made to this fund through Lehigh University. Academically, collegiately, and fraternally, we are firing on all cylinders and expect to pursue a large spring pledge class. We look forward to visiting with all alumni who can stop to visit. Please drop us a note so that we can include you in our next newsletter. Daniel E. Johnson '94, President California State University. Long Beach The Long Beach Chapter had a very challenging and demanding semester. Included in our achievements were 4th place in IFC basketball, 3rd place in Tri-Delta ultimate frisbee, and Ist place in the dance competition. Our chapter is proud that one of our men has been recognized as Delta Zeta's Bud Man. Our second annual Duck Ball was a great success and had the top sororities competing in it. At the beginning of the semester we moved into our new Duck House which can accommodate 12 men. The morale of the chapter is good, and we look forward to a new executive board and a fruitful spring semester. John Harris '94, President University of Louisville The Louisville Chapter has intensified its efforts in reaching out to alumni. A successful Golf Scramble this past summer, and a new twist to Homecoming has been a great start. I hope everyone is looking forward to the Second Annual Golf Scramble this summer. Thank you

for your participation in each and every event. Our scholarship program is under a watchful eye. A scholarship policy is being developed in conjunction with an academic guide for the college student. Plans for a dedicated study area in the fraternity house is in motion. This area will be remodeled and equipped with com puters, printers, a copier, adequate lighting and seating to create a more comfortable study area. We took eight men to the annual Leadership Institute. We could not pass up an opportunity for so many young men to intellectually enrich themselves. We would like to honor and thank Brother Larry Magnes '66 who is the recipient of the 1993 Alumni Appreciation Award. Brother Magnes' assistance with the chapter over the past year has been invaluable. Thanks also to Joseph Ratterman '69, Ralph Ruch '65, and Patrick Renn '85 for aiding in negotiations with the Housing Office. Appreciation goes out to Dr. Alan Lansing for hosting yet another annual pool party, and Brother J. Kirk Menefee '72, for supplying some of the materials needed to remodel the study area. Rodger A. McAlister '94, President

University of Manitoba Our chapter suffered a setback with the graduation of many of our brothers, but our Novemberelection put everything back on track. We have a young, fresh executive council that radiates enthusiasm and will make our presence felt on campus. The support from alumni has been superior. We have just moved into an interim house until our new one is built. The number of alumni scheduled to attend our Formal is three times that of last year. The Manitoba Chapter is eagerly awaiting the challenges of the upcoming rush season and has high hopes for rapid growth. Brendan J. Dowling '96, President Marietta College The beginning of this year marked the return of the Marietta Chapter to residence in the house on 4th Street. It also began with the discovery of a $6,000 endowment from the Dawes family. Therefore, the brothers had much to be excited about. Early semester activities included a chapter retreat, initiation of five pledges from last spring, the occurrence of two non-alcoholic parties in the chapter house as a rush tool, and a successful rush with 10men pledged (more than any fraternity on campus). At the retreat, goals for the semester were set, finances were discussed, bylaws were reviewed. and social activities were planned. Brothers took an active part in community service this semester, with each man completing at least 10 hours. This was done at the Head of the Muskingum Crew Race, our annual canned food drive for the Salvation Army, and various other activities. Alumni relations this semester included publication of the Delta Unifier in early October, Homecoming, and a Founders' Day dinner given by the pledges on November 4. Formation of an active alumni chapter is still in the works. New officer elections were in early November, and the semester closed out with the new officers becoming acquainted with their positions and looking ahead to the spring semester. Bryan P. Mom '94, President

With large anti -greek sen time nt on ca mpu s, almos t all fratern ities have suffered a blow to morale and recru itment. T his, howe ver , has not stopped our progress, and we cont inue to strive to exceed the excellence we have achieved. We held our annual brother retre at, giv ing us a cha nce to ca tch up on summe r eve nts, to ge t reacquainted with one an other, and to re-d iscover wh y Delta Upsilon is so important to us. The retreat imp roved mor ale and fostered stronger fee lings of loyalty and pride in DU at McGill. After holdin g a few open houses and a smo ke r, we succeeded in pled ging six bright ,

confident young men. We expect next se mester's rush to be even bigger and better. We held our seco nd annual Looney-Toon- a-Th on in Septem ber, where we pledge d to watch 48 hour s of various cart oon s, rain or shine, to raise money for children of battered wo men in shelters across Qu ebec. The philanth ropic even t was a success, as we bes ted last year's mark by 60 %, raisi ng $2100. The IFC held its ann ual greek week in which DU placed first.

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY/ JANUARY 1994

(Austrian, continued from p. 9) "Probably the second (if there is a second thing) was just protecting the product from a marketing standpoint, so it was not overexposed . I think the temptation is to take the last dollar and see how many exposures you can get. "Between Pete Rozelle, Art Modell ... who chaired the television committee for years, they were very, very protective of the product. It was always on free television; we'd never talked about and don't want to talk about pay-per-view. But they limited the number of nights or events, so that every Sunday became NFL day . "Whereas with baseball (and I realize it's a very different game; and basketball with 82 games), each game doesn't mean as much . In the NFL , with 16 regular season games, 6% of your schedule is every Sunday. So, they were very cautious - they went from Sunday afternoon and finally 20-some years ago - going to Monday night. It [Monday Night Football] is the longest running prime time series on television, bar none . "So , to me, those two things, which are television driven , clearly are reasons why I think it's the premier sport today." Q: What contribution has Monday Night Football made to the NFL? "Unbelievable. When you look at the rating that Monday Night Football gets, where today 17.5% of every television home in the United States is watching some part of Monday Night Football, it's really a phenomenal factor. "I think what it' s also done , is it's brought the women into the sport in terms of watching it, because they 'll sit there with their husbands on Monday night and watch. And we are getting 35-36% of our viewers as women today, which is great. So, I think Monday Night's made an enormous contribution. "You go back to Cosell and Meredith, and Gifford; those three did an awful lot to change the dynamics of a broadcast booth ." Q: Some say the League 's planforexpansian is going to dilute the talent level among players , and cause an erosion offan interest HoII' would you respond to those observations ? "Well, I think the only concern that may even be an issue , might be the talent, and let me deal with that last. I think what you find 16

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY/J ANUARY 1994

as we 've expanded - and we have not expanded since 1976-we've been at 28 teams since ' 76. In 17years, have other cities shown that they can and will support an NFL team? I think the answer is yes . "You only have to look at what happened in Charlotte, when it was announced [in October] that they got an expansion franchise . The city closed for the day and it was one of the great celebrations we've seen here . "I think it's not a dilution from a fan's standpoint. What you'll see is two cities , either of whom has the means both from a community and business standpoint to support a team, who have wanted a team for a number of years , and will provide an attractive stadium and business climate.

"When the World League started, it was an idea conceived by ABC [television]. It was going to be a spring league here in the United States, underline United States , that would provide inexpensive programming for ABC television on Sunday afternoons. "They started out with six teams in the United States, one in Canada, three in Europe . No business plan was written. It was a mistake from day one, in that I'm not convinced today there's a market for spring football in the United States. In fact , I think there is not a market for spring football in the United States. 'T hey were going to sell franchises, which I think was a mistake. When you start a new League like that , I think you want to control it yourself. They made some mistakes there. "

"When you are in a group, I think everybody ultimately takes responsibility for the other person 's actions."

Q: Rather than opening up franchises to the highest bidder, a league ought to have some ability to select buyers ?

"From a television aspect, you 'll have one more game on a regional basis on Sunday . We 're not going to change anything. "Talent pool is an interesting question. You've got so many kids coming out of college today playing football, the pyramid is awfully narrow at the top. The real question, I guess , is you go to camp with 80 players and cut down to 53 . So you cut approximately 27 players, and with 28 teams , you've got about 800 guys that didn't quite make it. "You look at the guys who didn 't make it: all Big-Ten, all PAC-IO, all ACC, I mean these are not fringe guys , these are guys that for one reason or another- and it might have been the specific team they were with in camp, where they were deep at that position - so I really don 't see it ... The issue people have raised, is are there enough quarterbacks? "I think business and leagues go in cycles. One year you have a great quarterback class , the next couple of years you might not. So I'm not really concerned that there is a dilution of talent. When I see the quality of people that don 't quite make it, I think there 's more than enough to stock two teams. " Q: What wellt wrong with the World League, and what lI'as learned from that ?

"Yeah, they got some people involved who I think probably in hindsight they would admit shouldn't have been involved. There was really not a marketing plan that I considered viable. I think we tended to play in stadiums that were far too big; I think soccer is going to learn a lesson from that. "We could draw 25,000 people out here to the Meadowlands, which is terrific . But when you are sitting in a 72,OOO-seat stadium , it's not terrific because you look around and say, ' My God , why am I here, all these seats are empty.' " In Europe we did very well. In Frankfurt, we averaged 32,000 fans for a stadium that seated 31,000 . We had standing room [only], and I think that one of the lessons you learn is you'd rather do it in smaller stadiums. "What we also found is that Europeans love our sport, and I think you can market it in Europe. I don't think there's a feeling that it's minor league football , which was the perception here ... It is good football, the guys playing it - if you look at some of them today - two of Kansas City's better players and starters came out of the World League. "You' ve got guys that are just below the top 53, some of whom maybe just didn 't get a fair shake . So it's [something to consider] from a development standpoint. We 're convinced it will work as a European League, an Asian League, as opposed to building the first core here in the United States. "

Q: Is that what yo u lI'ere bett ing 01 /, becau se the perception lI'as that the World Leagu e had the backin g of the NFL ? "T hat was the wrong percepti on. When Tex Schramm ran it, he was goi ng to try to build the League totally apart from the NFL. "No help from the NFL , no sharing of resources, and at some point I know Te x envi sioned the World League in ess ence being larger than the Nati onal Football Lea gue. But with play and players who would com pete [for viewe rs and fans] agai nst the Dallas Cowb oys or New York Giant s, I'm not sure that ' s a realit y at all. "So, I think the vision .., (Tex ma y be proven right way down the road) at least in my lifetime, it's goin g to be a very difficult propo sition. While it [the World League] had the backing, it was sold to the owners on a very different basis. "I think ex pec tations that Tex. ABC , and whomever present ed to the own ers we re unreali stic in the short term . You can' t start a venture , particularly a sports league , and have the kind of projections our own ers looked at, which really meant you didn 't have to invest any money. "Sure it had the 'backing' if yo u have no invest ment required . The probl em is, once the numbers started to turn down , and yo u couldn't sell these franchises in Birmin gh am [Ala.] and Orlando and San Antonio for the kind of mon ey everybody envi sioned, there was a capital requirement that the NFL own ers had to put up, which was unexpected. "Once that happens, you' re sta rting behind the eight ball. I think the World League will wor k in a recon struct ed basis. Two of the potent ial partners that we' re talkin g with, are MTV Europe and ESPN. And I think each of those brin g something to the party other than mone y. Part of the issue is how do you promote the game; the dem ographics of the kids in Europe watching our game are MTV age , so there is some sen se to that."

Q: Are there any vestiges of the World Leagu e that will make it into the NFL ? Will the "helmet-cam, "for exam ple.find a place ? "I think it will. In fact we' d talked about having a helm et-c am, if you put it on a quarterback. Th e problem is that to try to force a guy to wear that in the NFL, where

there was a weig ht issue and there was co mpetit ive play, I'm not sure ... We are ex pecting to see the helm et-cam on the referee. "I ca n see some very di fferent shots, I can see some of the rules we had in the World League eventu ally makin g their way to the NFL. "

total fan interest. And once you lose fan interest (a nd I rea lly think free age ncy hurt baseb all, personally) it' s very, very tough to ge t back, and that' s my biggest worry ."

Q: What about international expansion? "We've got international opportunities; we play four [NFL] pre-season games abroad. We are going to regroup and have a new European League that plays in the spring beg inning in 1995 with six team s ... in Barcelona, Lond on, and Frank furt, where we had World League team s. We 'll put a team in Dusseld orf, so yo u have two German team s to compete. Probabl y a team in Amsterd am, we 're not sure where the sixth team will be . "I can see that 6-team league growing to 8 or 10 team s. I can see an Asian division sometime before the turn of the century ... We 'll ju st have to wait and see .

Q: For example?

Fro m his sugges tions we have developed new directions for the chapter and ac tion plans fo r ac hieving our go als. However. the resig nation of our last president has left us unorganize d and in a state of disa rray. With a new presi dent we are curre ntly trying to rebui ld our organ izatio n. qu alit y. and quant ity of our chapter . T he pin nacle of e very sc hoo l yea r here is Wint er Carnival, which consists of a well-know n statue co mpetitio n and many other eve nts. As anticipa tion for this even ts has increased, there has been a new spark of enthusiasm among the brothers of our chapter. Jeffrey D. Holuszko, President University of Minnesota Th e Minnesota Chapter had an ex treme ly busy and succes sful fall ter m. Fall rush was qu ite differe nt this year, with the Unive rsity's rus h policy being one of Fra terni ty FOlUm instead of forma l rush. The purp ose of the new policy is to let the chapters informally rush the men who have show n interest in the greek sys te m. We feel this will work out significantly better tha n in yea rs past. due to the large increase in those men pledgin g. Th e Fratern ity Forum paid off for our chapter as we ll, with 8 pled ges fro m the fall and we already have three men signed for the winter cla ss. T his brin gs our chapter size to 32, with the co ntinuing desire to grow even larger. We celebrated our first Homecoming since reinstall ation and we now understand why so many brothers have such fond mem ories of Minnesota Homecomin gs. Also, in the fall we had our annual Founde rs' Day celebration , co mbining it with the first anniver sary of our reinstallatio n. Th anks to everyone who attended. We have had a busy fall qu arter and have many events planned for the winter quarter. You have an ope n invitation to stop by. or drop us a line at any time . For a list of eve nts, da tes and times, be on the lookout for our qu arte rly alumni newsletter. Dm 'icl B.

Aside from our athletic success. we ha ve had a very pleasing social ca lendar with an emphas is on more dinn er exc hanges and date parties to help ensure our good relati ons on cam pus.

North Dakota State University Before school even started, the NDSU Chapter was busy completing some major goals we had been planning for a year. With great alumni support, we installed a new heating system, remodeled the chapter house, and purchased new furniture for the main floor. All the members extend a big thank you to alumni who donated to the fund raiser for these projects. One of the biggest fall highlights was the addition of 12 outstanding pledges. This was a record breaking number, and doubled our chapter size. All alumni were invited to attend the initiation on January 14. We celebrated our 23rd Founders' Day during Homecoming in October, and were proud that a larger number of alumni return this year than previously. We thank all who attended and hope next year will be even better. In November we had our first annual Parents' Day, and it was great to meet all the parents. Philanthropic activities this semester included maintaining our three-mile stretch of adopted highway and sponsoring our Christmas party for little kids. We are looking forward to the Teeterathon in the springforthe Big Brother! Big Sister program. With the improvements to the house and our new pledges, we are all experiencing a great feeling of brotherhood, and proud to be members ofDU. Chris Thorson '94, President University of Northern Colorado The Northern Colorado Chapter kicked off the fall semester with anticipation of another great year. After receiving the Most Outstanding Fraternity Award, IFC Achievement Scholarship (Allen Riggs), Greek God Award (Arnie Dowd III), Philanthropy Excellence Award, and again ending the semester with the highest grades on campus (including the most improved), the entire chapter is extremely fired up. We have pledged a selective group of 15 men and are continuing with our informal rush. Our focuses this year include maintaining excellence through scholarship, pursuit of the intramural greek cup, and arrangements for our annual St. Sticks hockey tournament. The chapter once again supported the local Big Brother program with our annual Halloween party. Earlier in the semester, we attended the Alpha Phi Alpha chartering group's barbecue. We hope to do ajoint philanthropy/community service project in the near future. With the momentum we have so far this year, the Northern Colorado Chapter promises to yet again be a dominating force on campus. Christopher Goranson '95, President Northern Illinois University In the face of adversity, the Northern Illinois Chapter has risen to the occasion. As a result of unfortunate circumstances, the chapter was placed on suspension. This suspension entailed a probation of all social functions; a punitive measure that does not allow the chapter to be represented as DU in any university activity, as well as other minor provisions. Due to the efforts of the undergraduate chapter, as well as with the help and support of the DU Alumni Association, this suspension has been the motivational factor allowing the chapter to improve from within.

Taking into consideration that rush is the foundation of fraternities, the chapter put much time and effort into fall rush. This is evident in that DU was the forerunner among all fraternities, signing 32 pledges and two hold-overs. The Northern Illinois Chapter is rich in tradition, and the undergraduate chapter is building on that tradition. One illustration of this is that half-way through the semester, the chapter can boast of a softball championship, an undefeated flickerball team, soccer team, and three undefeated basketball teams. To encourage scholarship, the chapter is raising the GPA required to be a member. To improve the perception of DU from a university standpoint, as well as internationally, the chapter has embarked upon a great deal of community service this year. DU led all fraternities and sororities in the annual blood drive, food drive, and bowl-a-thon for kids. The chapter contributed 8 hours permemberto paint the Sycamore child care center, and have participated in numerous other projects. The undergraduate chapter is very fortunate and appreciative for all that the DU alumni association has done. They are presently in the planning stages of renovating the kitchen. Any and all contributions from alumni will be warmly accepted. We hope to hear from Northern Illinois alumni for any comments or suggestions. Gerald W. Edwards '94, President

University of Northern Iowa We began the fall semester by pledging 17 fine men, bringing our chapter size to about 43. They are a strong group which will be in the chapter for many years. Homecoming went well with more than 40 alumni and their families attending. Many of those who returned were in the undergraduates during the 70's and returned to see brothers from that same era. Brother Dave Maguire, SOl/them Illinois '73, gave the charge at our initiation ceremony on November 21. This is the first semester in which we have initiated our members the same semester in which they were pledged. On November 7, the next generation of officers took charge with Michael Gabrick as president.Ieading a dynamic executive council. Alumni interested in helping with rush in Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Ames, or Dubuque, should contact Chris Vesey at (319) 277-6804. Finally, mark your calendars now for 1994 events. First will be a home improvements meeting on March 5 weekend. During the weekend we will make several long term decisions about what to do with the house after the mortgage is paid. Second, we will be burning the mortgage at Homecoming the weekend of September 24. Call Andy Rogers or Maria at Holiday Inn for reservations. Come celebrate, see your old buddies, and check out how the house has changed. Finally, Saturday, April 16 is tentatively scheduled for the formal in Cedar Rapids. More information later. Jeffrey L. Fuhrman '94, Past President Northwestern University It was great to see so many alumni at Homecoming, and while the Wildcats lost the game, the tailgate and post-game receptions kept everyone in high spirits. Our new cook, hired at the beginning of the school year, prepared a spectacular meal. After the reception, we went down into Chicago together to continue the weekend reunion. Make plans now to come to our Founders' Day celebration on Saturday, May 21.

This fall was productive for the Northwestern Chapter. Preparing for deferred rush in winter quarter, the brothers made concerted efforts to meet freshmen, especially at our weekly Sunday dinners. Rush chairman Andy Arsham is confident we will reach our goal of 25 pledges. Our annual fall philanthropy, Kickback, raised over $1,000 for the Children's Place, a homeforchildren with AIDS. The philanthropy involved T-shirt sales and a pool, darts, and horse shoes competition. On the social side, we participated in weekly ice hockey games, paintball wars, and a trip to the dog tracks. In efforts to reduce our insurance expenses, we held several firesides concerning risk management issues. Risk management chairman Mark Roth has increased our awareness of liability and as a result, we are taking more safety precautions and have stiffened security at parties. During the summer we had some important repairs done to the house, including plumbing and new roof. Next summer, if we have the funds, we want to replace the first floor windows to improve insulation and increase security. We received several awards in the past year, including the Third Place for Excellence at the Leadership Institute. Last spring the Northwestern IFC awarded ourchapterthe President's Award for Greek Relations because of our continued involvement with other fraternities, sororities, and the IFe. Michael Mel-orland '94, President

University of Ohio Fall quarter brought many needed changes to the chapter and our executive council worked hard to take us through the many positive steps. At mid-quarter we were contacted by a group of Columbus area alumni concerned about the direction being taken by the chapter. We set up a meeting with these interested brothers and established goals. The number one goal is rush. Contacts were continued with prospective pledges and they were invited to several functions over the quarter. Another goal is improving alumni relations. We will be mailing a winter newsletter and need to hear from alumni whose addresses have changed. Next quarter we expect to have a full house and will revive our meal plan. This has been long awaited and will serve to improve the overall attitude of the chapter. Chad Belt '96 Ohio State University Autumn quarter was busy. We pledged five men, bringing our number to 23. Brothers Chris Norman and Kirk Blair are representing the students as Undergraduate Student Government President and Speaker of the Assembly, respectively. To improve interfraternity relations, we held the first annual Skull Duck Classic Weekend with Phi Kappa Sigma. This included a party at the chapter house on Saturday night and a football game Sunday. Our congratulations to our newly elected officers and to Brother Robert SpinIer who graduated this quarter. John D. Lesch '96, President University of Oklahoma Oklahoma DU completed another successful year in the spring, placing in the top three DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY/JANUARY 1994

COLLEGIATE REVIEW academically for the 18th consecutive year. We also had a very strong showing in intramurals, placing fourth overall. This summer we purchased the Kappa Delta house, and after spending numerous hour renovating it, have the nicest fraternity house on campus, with 68 members living in. Opening ceremonies for the house were on September II with about 500 alumni and parents in attendance. This fall's formal rush was one of the best on campus as we pledged 43 men. This year we are expecting to finish in the top three in grades and intramurals. We recently won the all-greek boxing tournament and finished second in all-campus flag football. If you have not made it down to see the new house, please make plans to do so. We look forward to seeing you. Kyle Babbit "94, President

Oregon State University The Oregon State Chapter finished the 199293 year on a great note, winning the Outstanding Chapter Award for the 5th straight year. During the summer the members enjoyed the many rush events and although rush started off slow, we finished formal rush week with 24new pledges. On the second day of formal rush, we experienced what we thought would be a major setback for rush, the chapter house caught fire. It was a seven-alarm blaze in which over40fire fighters were involved; fortunately no one was injured. Damages totalled just under $200,000 and the restoration was finished in just six weeks. The University was able to accommodate our housing needs for the entire six weeks and our insurance company was quick to start the reconstruction.

Blueprints for Success

laborative. has reached a new level. We have 12 high school sophomores being tutored on a oneto-one basis, on current class work and preparation for the PSA T and SAT. We have also developed an eight-part lecture series directed at improving study skills, test-taking ability, and retention of material. The ultimate goal is to send the students to college, and to that end we are developing a press folder and raising money for a scholarship fund. We will be offering the scholarships to students, on the basis of academic merit, who stay with the mentoring program through senior year, and go on to a fouryear institution. Improvements to our already beautiful chapter house included the installation of new hardwood floors in the pool room and chapter room to match the rest of the first floor. The chapter would like to thank the alumni association for their generous contribution to this project. We also cleaned and repaired the antique Karastan Oriental rugs in the chapter room, which changes the appearance of the room dramatically. The chapter prepared for rush with a weekend retreat to Ocean City, NJ where we discussed rush goals and techniques. We used role playing and other methods to teach brothers the proper way to rush. Our thanks to Brother Dave Suplee, Bucknell '90, for leading the retreat. Although rush numbers are down throughout the greek system at Penn, we have more rushees than last year and hope to exceed the size of last year's pledge class, one f our largest ever.

REt9ister ~oW tion to find the distinguished Director's Cup for Excellence. It was nice to be recognized for all of our hard work throughout the year. Not only does it look great in our newly refinished living room. but is also a major source of pride amongst our members. Things continued to go well as we pledged 12 outstanding men during rush week. The pledge class is very active in all aspects of university life. with participation in athletics and the Honors Colleue. In November, we embarked on our annual philanthropy - a canned food drive to benefit a local food bank. The chapter looks forward to informal rush when we can add many new members to our ranks. On campus, our chapter was awarded the O. Merideth Wi Ison Cup for the fifth straight year. This award isgiven by the University to the best all-around chapter on campus. We are very proud of this achievement as well. Also, our fanner president, Gordon Seeley. was elected IFC President. Congratulations, Gordon! In trying to set ourselves apart from other fraternities scholastically, our chapter moved to raise our minimum G.P.A. requirement from a 2.5 toa2.7 in order to be ingood standing. Now, we not only have the highest initiation requirement on campus, we also have the highest academic standards for membership amongst all fraternities on campus. 20

University of Pennsylvania The Pennsylvania Chapter started the year on a high note, having won the Trustees' Award for Excellence at the Leadership Institute. Using this accomplishment as a catalyst, we have been busy trying to achieve even greater things. Our commitment to philanthropy has continued and expanded this year. We have restructured our tutoring work with first grade students at nearby Lea Elementary School in West Philadelphia to include teaching in units to enhance learning, and extracurricular activities to stimulate creative thinking. Two brothers go to the school three times a week on a rotating basis. Our new endeavor, the College Now Col-

Penn State DU started out this fall by initiating five men, then proceeded to issue 19 bids during fall rush. We are concentrating on rush this year due to the large number of graduates this past spring. However, due to a small turnover this fall and the coming spring, our numbers will continue to rise for next year. After a slight fall in academics last fall, we improved in great fashion in the spring by jumping ahead of 12 fraternities in the rankings. We also scored above the all-men's and allfraternity averages. We are coming off a good year in intramural sports. After finishing in the top 10 of 54 fraternities, we have great expectations for this year. Everybody in the chapter is getting psyched up for the dance marathon. Brian Ray was appointed to an overall dance marathon position in IFC, and many other brothers were appointed to committee positions. After raising $25,000 last year, we hope to beat that total this year by getting an early start and more support. DU Penn State is a fraternity on the rise. By improving ourselves in fraternity relations.university relations, and community relations, we aim to be the best fraternity that Penn State has. If you have not stopped by the house in a while, we ask you to come visit. You will not be disappointed. Let's keep in touch. Call me at (819) 237-6018. Remember, DU is forever.

Purdue University The fall semester was both the end of an old legacy and a new start for the Purdue Chapter. Thanks to an unprecedented fund raising effort by the alumni, and a strong undergraduate rush headed by Reid Ricciardi '94, the dream of a new chapter house became a reality.

academically forthe 18th consecutive year. We also had a very strong showing in intramurals, placing fourth overall. This summer we purchased the Kappa Delta house, and after spending numerous hour renovating it, have the nicest fraternity house on campus, with 68 members living in. Opening ceremonies for the house were on September II with about 500 alumni and parents in attendance. This fall's formal rush was one of the best on campus as we pledged 43 men. This year we are expecting to finish in the top three in grades and intramurals. We recently won the all-greek boxing tournament and finished second in all-campus flag football. If you have not made it down to see the new house, please make plans to do so. We look forward to seeing you.

Good luck to all chapters and colonies in the coming year.

Jordan Miller '95, President Oregon State University The Oregon State Chapter finished the 199293 year on a great note, winning the Outstanding Chapter Award for the 5th straight year. During the summer the members enjoyed the many rush events and although rush started off slow. we finished formal rush week with 24new pledges. On the second day of formal rush, we experienced what we thought would be a major setback for rush, the chapter house caught fire. It was a seven-alarm blaze in which over40 fire fighters were involved: fortunately no one was injured. Damages totalled just under $200,000 and the restoration was finished in just six weeks. The University was able to accommodate our housing needs for the entire six weeks and our insurance company was quick to start the reconstruction.

Blueprints for Success

laborative, has reached a new level. We have 12 high school sophomores being tutored on a aneta-one basis, on current class work and preparation for the PSAT and SAT. We have also developed an eight-part lecture series directed at improving study skills, test-taking ability, and retention of material. The ultimate goal is to send the students to college, and to that end we are developing a press folder and raising money for a scholarship fund. We will be offering the scholarships to students, on the basis of academic merit, who stay with the mentoring program through senior year, and go on to a fouryear institution. Improvements to our already beautiful chapter house included the installation of new hardwood floors in the pool room and chapter room to match the rest of the first floor. The chapter would like to thank the alumni association for their generous contribution to this project. We also cleaned and repaired the antique Karastan Oriental rugs in the chapter room, which ehanges the appearance of the room dramatically. The chapter prepared for rush with a weekend retreat to Ocean City, NJ where we discussed rush goals and techniques. We used role playing and other methods to teach brothers the proper way to rush. Ourthanks to Brother Dave Suplee, Bucknell '90, for leading the retreat. Although rush numbers are down throughout the greek system at Penn, we have more rushees than last year and hope to exceed the size oflast year's pledge class, one f our largest ever.

tion to find the distinguished Director's Cup for Excellence. It was nice to be recognized for all of our hard work throughout the year. Not only does it look great in our newly refinished living room. but is also a major source of pride amongst our members. Things continued to go well as we pledged 12 outstanding men during rush week. The pledge class is very active in all aspects of university life, with participation in athletics and the Honors College. In November, we embarked on our annuat phi lanthropy - a canned food drive to benefit a local food bank. The chapter looks forward to informal rush when we can add many new members to our ranks. On campus, our chapter was awarded the O. Merideth Wilson Cup for the fifth straight year. This award is given by the University to the best all-around chapter on campus. We are very proud of this achievement as well. Also, our former president, Gordon Seeley, was elected IFC President. Congratulations, Gordon I In trying to set ourselves apart from other fraternities scholastically, our chapter moved to raise our minimum G.P.A. requirement from a 2.5 toa2.7 in orderto be ingood standing. Now. we not only have the highest initiation requirement on campus, we also have the highest academic standards for membership amongst all fraternities on campus. 20

Much to everyone's surprise, our rush week was a complete success in every way. We now have 27 pledges, an entire new third floor, and a brotherhood that is closer than ever. As we begin another year at Oregon State, we are looking forward to participating in our several philanthropies, social events, and most of all initiation of over 30 men. In closing, the chapter wants to thank everyone that helped throughout the year, and especially our chapter advisor Will Keirn, Pacific '75. We look forward to a great year and will see all of you at the 1994 Leadership Institute. Ryan K. Smith '95, President University of Pennsylvania The Pennsylvania Chapter started the year on ahigh note, having won the Trustees' Award for Excellence at the Leadership Institute. Using this accomplishment as a catalyst, we have been busy trying to achieve even greater things. Our commitment to philanthropy has continued and expanded this year. We have restrucHIredour tutoring work with first grade students at nearby Lea Elementary School in West Philadelphia to include teaching in units to enhance learning, and extracurricular acti vines to stimulate creative thinking. Two brothers go to the school three times a week on a rotating basis. Our new endeavor, the College Now Col-

Pennsylvania State University Penn State DU started out this fall by initiating five men, then proceeded to issue 19 bids during fall rush. We are concentrating on rush this year due to the large number of graduates this past spring. However, due to a small turnover this fall and the coming spring, our numbers will continue to rise for next year. After a slight fall in academics last fall, we improved in great fashion in the spring by jumping ahead of 12 fraternities in the rankings. We also scored above the all-men's and allfraternity averages. We are coming off a good year in intramural sports. After finishing in the top 10 of 54 fraternities, we have great expectations for this year. Everybody in the chapter is getting psyched up for the dance marathon. Brian Ray was appointed to an overall dance marathon position in IFC, and many other brothers were appointed to committee positions. After raising $25,000 last year, we hope to beat that total this year by getting an early start and more support. DU Penn State is a fraternity on the rise. By improving ourselves in fraternity relations, university relations, and community relations, we aim to be the best fraternity that Penn State has. If you have not stopped by the house in a while, we ask you to come visit. You will not be disappointed. Let's keep in touch. Call me at (819) 237-6018. Remember, DU is forever. Greg Auxer '94, President Purdue University The fall semester was both the end of an old legacy and a new start for the Purdue Chapter. Thanks to an unprecedented fund raising effort by the alumni, and a strong undergraduate rush headed by Reid Ricciardi '94, the dream of a new chapter house became a reality. Now over 45 members strong, the chapter has 18 pledges and is looking forward to having 63 initiated brothers in the spring. Not only does this new house represent a permanent home for the Purdue

Chapter, but it stands as a symbol of the hard work and determination that strengthens our fraternal bonds, We would like to recognize Mike Panagiotis '64, Alan Parker '75, Robert Jenkins '64, John Phillips '80, and all the others for giving unselfishly of their time and hard work to our dream, As we moved into the new house this fall, we brought a lot of momentum from the previous spring. We hold the trophy for the highest GPA among fraternities, and our newest initiates hold the trophy for highest pledge class GPA, now three semesters running. Fellow greeks, alumni and university officials now are realizing that DU is well on its way to becoming one of the most prominent houses on campus. We look forward to finishing this historic first semester in our new house, and coming back next spring stronger than ever. Carlos A. Camps '95, President University of Rochester The Rochester Chapter has enjoyed an active fall semester. We have begun to settle into our new campus housing, and want to thank the alumni for buying us new carpeting and furniture. The suites look great. Many of our founding members returned to participate in a numberofalumni activities that occurred during homecoming. An award ceremony and luncheon was held in their honor. Our semi-formal was November 13. We had a successful rush. In the Sigma Nu volleyball tournament we captured first place. A road trip to visit the Toronto Chapter over Halloween weekend was most enjoyable. We participated in the Halloween pumpkin carving with Gamma Pi Beta and participated in the Alpha Pi teeter-totter-a-thon. We hope that spring semester will be as exciting as this one has been. We want to thank all our alumni for making Homecoming special, and we are very interested in hearing from them. Drop us a line and tell us what's new in your life, Jason [angus '96 San Diego State University During the past few years the San Diego Chapter has undergone many changes. Membership reviews, financial tension, and a leaky roof.just to name a few, have made us seriously reconsider our position as a legitimate force on campus. In times of uncertainty, it is easy to back down and accept your losses. However, the brotherhood of the San Diego Chapter had other things in mind. Fortunately, a core of committed members have taken the initiative to rekindle the flame that originally made DU San Diego the fraternal inferno it once was. Not only have we reaffirmed our pledge to success, but we have realized the power of opportunity. Opportunity may knock only once and we have found you either answer, or turn away. Founded over a quarter of a century ago, our chapter has not lost its bearings in a storm; in fact, these struggles made us more determined. A new, aggressive pledge program, embedded in philanthropy, a reborn genuine pride, so vital to any growth potential, and most importantly, a common goal. Our rush slogan for the spring semester is "The Duck lives on...come witness theevolution."We believe this to epitomize the struggles and ambitions DU has endured and carried on.

For our 2nd annual Jump-athon, we jumped on a trampoline for 36 hours, along with all other sororities, to raise money for the Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Santa Clara County. During this event, DU gained recognition by students, faculty and other greeks. We want to thank all SJSU alumni who made generous donations for the charity. We acquired nine good men in fall rush. All nine have great athletic ability as well as strong leadership characteristics. Initiation is planned for late January. Our sports program is going strong, with our football team and volleyball team both clinching payoff spots. DU has always been among the top two to beat in these two IFC sports. In conclusion, we want to thank Leadership Consultant Grant Robinson for all his helpful suggestions offered during his visit. He gave the executive officers a lot of great ideas. ROll W. Quinonez: Jr. '93, President University of California路 Santa Barbara Our future at Santa Barbara appears unbounded as we propel through the 1993-94 school year. Our new location is in the middle of Greek Row, an asset we have not had since our colonization in '87. We have two houses on our lot with II men living in each. The incredible facilities boast a sand ~olleyball court, a basketball court, and we have put in a horse shoe pit and large deck. The boosted morale of the brothers this fall helped us to add 13 outstanding pledges, the second largest pledge class on campus. Under the direction of Brother Michael Teichmann, pledge educator, these men are turning into true DUs. Brother Josh Matlaf and I thoroughly enjoyed the Leadership Institute. Our thanks to Leadership Institute Dean, Brother Will Keim. Hello to our friends from Swarthmore, San Jose State and Cal Poly. Downtown Indy will never be the same without us. We road-tripped to San Diego for our biannual paintball wars and have hosted barbeques and parties to introduce the new UCSB freshman class to DU. Our intramural football team continues to win almost every game, and we are making a strong effort in basketball. Our tutoring program at a local elementary school is in full effect and we have the help of every sorority on campus. Academically, we placed first last quarter with the highest GPA of all 15 fraternities, an achievement we hope to maintain. Our doors are always open to all brothers.

Sullivan '95, \lice President University of South Carolina Fall rush was successful as we pledged 15 men, although rush numbers were down campus wide. Ours was one of the largest pledge classes and these men have already become an integral part of our chapter. We are looking forward to another top-five finish in intramurals, with strong showings in flag football, soccer, volleyball, and tennis. We are preparing for basketball, softball, swimming, floor hockey, and indoor soccer which

begin with spring semester. We had numerous mixers, tailgaters, band parties, and a very successful Parents' Weekend. A highlight was our Founders' Day SemiFormal held during Halloween weekend at The Biltmore Estate in Asheville, Last spring's Seven Stars Formal and this year's Homecoming weekend were great successes, and our appreciation is again expressed to our alumni for all their support. Our annual Carolina-Clemson Game Ball Run with Alpha Phi Alpha will benefit Multiple Sclerosis, and our goal is $5,000. Thanks to all our alumni who have donated to this philanthropy. We invite all chapters heading to Florida for spring break to stop by and visit us. Jason R. Gathman '94, Presidem University of South Dakota Our chapter started the semester by completing our summer remodeling projects. The basement and kitchen were completely remodeled and the entire house was painted. We are working hard to keep grades up as we are trying to keep our string of highest GPA awards going (nine straight semesters). The chapter isproud to announce that Brother Andrew Henning '94 was elected president of the IFC. We have been active in several philanthropy projects, two major projects being the coaching of 5th and 6th grade flag football, and sponsorship of a neighborhood clean-up of the historic district of the city of Vermillion. Another project we have initiated is the DU Parents' Club to improve fraternity relations with the parents of our members. We want to thank our alumni for the recent financial contributions and support we have received. Dan Wibben '96, President Southwest Missouri State University The men of the Southwest Missouri Chapter have experienced great success this semester. During fall rush we signed eight quality men who will uphold and carryon not only the traditions of our chapter, but those of Delta Upsilon International Fraternity. Our recognition has grown immensely on campus among the administration and greek system. One way in which we improved recognition was by continuing the winning traditiol1 of DU by taking first place in the homecoming float contest for the eighth time in the past ten years. This year's social chairman has done a great job scheduling events with other fraternities and sororities. He has also scheduled the December alumni banquet and dance which we expect to be a great time for everyone attending. We are involved in almost everything on campus, and have made an impressive showing in intramural and greek sports. The chapter would like to thank our alumni for their support, and especial Iy recognize Brothers Jere Diersing, Bill Crosby, Mark Morris and Brent Twombly. We want to also extend our hands in hospitality to anyone who ventures down to the southwest corner of Missouri. John D. Bayless '93, Pres idem Swarthmore College Although certainly a smaller group than in years past, the Swarthmore Chapter has COmpensated for its small size with a greater effort and enthusiasm for the Fraternity, as the chapter enters its centennial year. This great effort from DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY/JANUARY 1994

COLLEGIATE REVIEW DU recognizes the times are changing for all .grceks. With new rules, requirements and expectations that the greek system is facing nationally, the Washington State Chapter is evolving accordingly. We understand that in orderto survive as a fraternity, we must unify and face the challenges set forth by the new times. The Washington State Chapter continues to be very involved and successful with varsity and intramural sports, and we hope to continue the winning ways throughout the year. We would also like to thank our very supportive alumni who came down for homecoming and made the weekend one to remember. Thank you for all the help, alumni. Charles Arnold '93, President Western Illinois University Western Illinois DU started offth~ semester with 12outstanding new members. Right on the heels of rush week, DU participated in Macomb's annual Balloon Rally, where we supplied the entire security staff as well as raised money for 'the chapter through T-shirt sales. During Homecoming weekend, DU performed admirably, taking second place in thc overall competition. In addition, our own Jason Altenberg was crowned as Homecoming king and two others were on the homecoming court. Right now, we are gearing up in preparation for our upcoming 20th anniversary, an event we are looking forward to with pride and anticipation. We hope to see as many of our alumni as possible come and celebrate 20 years of brotherhood and excellence with us on the weekend of April 22, 23 and 24. Jason C. Legel '94, President Western Michigan University The past months have been very active for the Western Michigan Chapter. This past summer we made a number of house improvements which included a new kitchen floor. Since school began, the chapter has made rush its top priority. Only eight actives began the fall semester and our recent implementation of continuous rush has been very successful. Currently, we have five pledges, including a varsity athlete and a member of ROTC. All the members and pledges are excited about our growing potential. We have also been very active in the community. We participated in a bowling tournament that raised money for ?Cystic Fibrosis went on an Alzheimer's Memory Walk. Lastly, the undergraduate brothers would like to thank all of the alumni who participated ill the golf outing and returned for Homecoming. Your support is very important to us. , Christopher C. Sorensen '95, President University of Western Ontario Early in the 1993-94 school year, DU is setting the standard in the greek community at Western. We defended the IFC greek week title by becoming champions for the third consecutive year. We finished first and second in the golf tournament and placed second in baseball. With successes like these, DU should have no trouble winning our fifth straight IFC all-sports trophy. Fall rush went extremely well ending with a pledge class of 25, the largest in the greek community. We held our 5th annual game ball run during homecoming weekend, raising nearly $3,000 for the Ronald Macdonald House. We are also planning a trick -or-treat event with the Big Brothers Association.

Academically DU at Western is without a doubt the strongest throughout the greek system, with many members accepted to graduate schools. Once again we are planning major restoration projects for the chapter house. The fall newsletter was very well accepted and I would like to thank all the alumni who took the time to respond and get involved. This year is proving to be one of unprecedented successes for Delta Upsilon due to the pride and efforts of both the undergraduates and alumni. Trevor Hardy '94, President Western Reserve University This has been a year of growth and development for our chapter. Fall rush produced a small, but very promising pledge class and several leads for spring rush. We are completing our first full year of the house lease and are experiencing several benefits ofthe lease already. We have been able to make several critical repairs, and with support from our alumni, we will continue to make improvements, Our third annual spring food drive brought in almost $2,500 worth of food, and with our annual Christmas food drive, it could be one of the most successful ever. Many of our brothers helped in building a park in the Coventry area, a project covered by the local television stations, We sent two men to the Leadership Institute which was a rewarding experience and enabled the men to make even more important contributions to the chapter. Thanks to our alumni for helping to send these men to the Leadership Institute. We are trying to raise the $900 that will be needed to send two men again this year. Thanks to our alumni for the support for our continued growth and expansion. Toby N. Weingarten '96, President Wichita State University As always, there was plenty of activity around Wichita Webster last fall. At the end of the fall rush period, we ranked third out of the nine fraternities on campus with a pledge class of 15 men, Our executive council is trying to develop the new young talent within the house to fill leadership positions. We placed first this fall in volunteers for the Red Cross blood drive, first in the spirit award during reek week, and are preparing for a "three-peat" in the Delta Gamma Anchor Splash (swimming intramurals). Things are looking up for us. For the first time in several years, it looks as if we might actually get an alumni organization formed to help the undergraduate chapter deal with the challenges and ongoing issues it faces. Phil Neff' 63 is heading a small group of alumni that have been instrumental in helping to get this effort underway. Ifany alumni have questions in regard to the ongoing alumni effort, please call me at (home) 316-687-4699 or (work) 316-263-5761. Dikaia Upotheke and best wishes for the New Year! Brent Cowan '94, President University of Wisconsin We have started the year off strongly here at the Wisconsin Chapter. We had a very successful fall rush, pledging 21 of the finest gentlemen on campus. We have also successfully started the defense of the Badger Bowl trophy, which is awarded to the overall greek athletics champion. We have won the trophy for the last three

years, and have started the quest for the fourth, by winning the first two events, golf and soccer. We have secured the scholastics trophy, awarded to the fraternity with the highest GPA. We beat out 32 other fraternities to win this award. Our third annual Bump-Set-Splash philanthropywasa big success this fall. This is a water volleyball tournament in which the different sororities compete against each other. The money we raised was given to the Transition Education Program, which helps underprivileged children in the Madison area with school supplies and tutors if they cannot afford them. We would like to thank our dedicated alumni for their generous donations of time, and their efforts with fund raising. The money raised has gone to refurbishing our chapter house, and thanks to our alumni, the house is in great shape, Our spirit and pride are high here at Wisconsin as we look forward to another great year. James Engelsma '94, Secretary COLONIES SUNY - Albany Our numbers are growing, and by spring semester we should have enough pledges to put us above the average fraternity size. We are in the process of setting up alumni contacts and starting an alumni corporation. In any alumni in the Albany, New York area would like to help, please call Mike at 518-4628547. We are publishing our first newsletter, the Delta Legend, and would like your comments and feedback. We are saving our money for installation which we hope will be in late April. Next semester should be the best ever for the colony, so if you are in the area, call and stop by. Michael Cestone '95, President Auburn University The Auburn Colony is now in a house, which not only allows for growth in membership but in all aspects of fraternity life. Our campus involvement is at an all-time high, consequently our fall rush was very successful. Our scholastic rankings for the previous two quarters were third and sixth out of 30 fraternities. Our membership is now up to 29 and winter rush prospects are encouraging. We are participatingin local philanthropy projects and alumni support is growing. The colony is planning for installation in the fall of 1994. Matt Rhodes '94, President University of British Columbia Greetings from the province of British Columbia. Our colony began the year with a renewed rush. Although the entire greek system open rush was down in numbers, we added 20% to our numbers. Not having a house, we used a central location to set up outside, complete with a painted van, pool table, stereo, couches, etc. Our visibility on campus was greatly increased this year, and we will continue to improve on it. As far as our house is coming, our members will soon (at the time of this writing) meet with alumnae from a local, inactive sorority, to try to sublet their room at the University's Pan-Hellenic building. This will give the chapter the meeting place needed for future growth, We fully expect to move in by the time you read this. In other news, the colony is beginning to plan our annual major philanthropy event. We will attempt to get people up to a local mountain to do a "slush jump for charity." It should be

The Alumnus of the Year Award was presented by Brother Kellett's friend, Richard Forest er, Wiscollsill '3 1, a Wisconsin DU

Foundati on Trustee and Chairm an of its current fund drive. Brother Kellett's remarks were brief and delivered with good humor. The Alumni Club was de lighted with the sparkling talks by Delta Upsilo n's Chairman of the Board , Robert J. Edga r, Alberta '55, of Edmonton, Can ada, and DU ' s Pre sident, Bruce Bailey, Deni son '58, of Indianapolis. Brother Bailey presented the nicely framed 50 year certificate s to Brother s Fred J .

Delta Upsilon President Bruce Bailey, Denison '58 presented the President's Citation to George Knutsen, Oregon State '31.

Citation for ove r 30 years of service to the Wiscon sin Chapter and o ver 20 years of chairing the Club's Annual Dinners. A surprise highli ght was the reading of a wonderful poem by Rick Holland, Sy racuse '83, Execut ive Director of Delt a Upsilon's Educational Foundat ion . E ntitled A Mall ill Our Midst, Rick presented it, beautifully framed, to George. George. who loves to speak, could and did only say "Thank you. D.U. has been so good to Bett y [his wife] and me." Another highli ght of w hich Wiscon sin DU brothers were proud was the presentati on of three scholarship awards by our Wisconsin DU Foundation Chairma n. John L. "Bud" Bruemm er, wisconsin '41. Th e deservi ng students were Scott Orwig, Scott Haugen , and Derek Schmidt. George V. B. Sirotkin , w isconsin '41, the fund dr ive co-chairman, gave us a brief statement of the Wisconsin campaign's progre ss and of its object ive for chapter hou se reno vation and the building of an eve n better scho larship program.

Like many of us, Bill Reusing, Virginia '62, ordered a copy of the Delta Upsilon Directory. Little did he think it would beco me the first step in establishing the Delta Upsilon Alu mni Club of Grea ter Cincinnati. As Bill recalls, he was amazed to learn that over 300 DU brothers lived in southwestern Ohio and northern Kentucky . He was intrigued with the possibility of getting together with area members of Delta Upsilon to form a social club. DU Headquarters assisted with the logistics for an initial mailing and the group was off to the races . Over 50 men have signed up as members and are maki ng modest annual contributions to cover opera ting expenses...primar ily the cost of newsletters. The group has adop ted a con stitution, elected officers, and been granted a charter by the Fraternity.

Where are a ll the DUs? The y are e verywhere . The Quarterly now reaches 57,000 alumni and undergraduates of Delta Upsilon. We thought you might enjoy seeing where the DUs are, .

Directors come fromourch apters at DePauw , Denison, Indiana, Louisville, Miami, North Carolina, Purdue, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Purdue,and Syrac use. Graduationyears range from '39 to '90. In between its monthly meeting s, the clu b held a golfouting in October and a Christmas party in December. While its purposes are primari ly social, the club is exp loring how it ca n help the Miami undergradu ate chapter, located in nearby Oxford , Ohio. Whil e it took the DU Directory to serve as the tinder, it was Brother Reusing who provided the fuel. Hats off for a job well done!

Western Illinois University Western Illinois DU started offthe semester with 12 outstanding new members. Right on the heels of rush week, DU participated in Macomb's annual Balloon Rally, where we supplied the entire security staff as well as raised money for 'the chapter through T-shirt sales. During Homecoming weekend, DU performed admirably, taking second place in the overall competition. In addition, our own Jason Altenberg was crowned as Homecoming king and two others were on the homecoming court. Right now, we are gearing up in preparation for our upcoming 20th anniversary, an event we are looking forward to with pride and anticipation. We hope to see as many of our alumni as possible come and celebrate 20 years of brotherhood and excellence with us on the weekend of April 22, 23 and 24. Jason C. Legel '94, President

Western Michigan University The past months have been very active for the Western Michigan Chapter. This past summer we made a number of house improvements which included a new kitchen floor. Since school began, the chapter has made rush its top priority. Only eight actives began the fall semester and our recent implementation of continuous rush has been very successful. Currently, we have five pledges, including a varsity athlete and a member of ROTC. All the members and pledges are excited about our growing potential. We have also been very active in the community. We participated in a bowling tournament that raised money for ?Cystic Fibrosis went on an Alzheimer's Memory Walk. Lastly, the undergraduate brothers would like to thank all of the alumni who participated in the golf outing and returned for Homecoming. Your support is very important to us. , Christopher C. Sorensen '95, President

University of Western Ontario Early in the 1993-94 school year, DU is setting the standard in the greek community at Western. We defended the IFC greek week title by becoming champions for the third consecutive year. We finished first and second in the golf tournament and placed second in baseball. With successes like these, DU should have no trouble winning our fifth straight IFC all-sports trophy. Fall rush went extremely well ending with a pledge class of 25, the largest in the greek community. We held our 5th annual game ball run during homecoming weekend, raising nearly $3,000 for the Ronald Macdonald House. We are also planning a trick-or-treat event with the Big Brothers Association.

DUTA UPSILON QUARTERLY/JANUARY 1994

Western Reserve University This has been a year of growth anddevelopment for our chapter. Fall rush produced a small, but very promising pledge class and several leads for spring rush. We are completing our first full year of the house lease and are experiencing several benefits of the lease already. We have been able to make several critical repairs, and with support from our alumni, we will continue to make improvements. Our third annual spring food drive brought in almost $2,500 worth of food, and with our annual Christmas food drive, it could be one of the most successful ever. Many of our brothers helped in building a park in the Coventry area, a project covered by the local television stations. We sent two men to the Leadership Institute which was a rewarding experience and enabled the men to make even more important contributions to the chapter. Thanks to our alumni for helping to send these men to the Leadership Institute. We are trying to raise the $900 that will be needed to send two men again this year. Thanks to our alumni for the support for our continued growth and expansion. Toby N. Weingarten '96, President

Wichita State University As always, there was plenty of activity around Wichita Webster last fall. At the end of the fall rush period, we ranked third out of the nine fraternities on campus with a pledge class of 15 men. Our executive council is trying to develop the new young talent within the house to fill leadership positions. We placed first this fall in volunteers for the Red Cross blood drive, first in the spirit award during reek week, and are preparing for a "three-peat" in the Delta Gamma Anchor Splash (swimming intramurals ). Things are looking up for us. For the first time in several years, it looks as if we might actually get an alumni organization formed to help the undergraduate chapter deal with the challenges and ongoing issues it faces. Phil Neff '63 is heading a small group of alumni that have been instrumental in helping to get this effort underway. If any alumni have questions in regard to the ongoing alumni effort, please call me at (home) 316-687-4699 or (work) 316-263-5761. Dikaia Upotheke and best wishes for the New Year! Brent Cowan '94, President

University of Wisconsin We have started the year off strongly here at the Wisconsin Chapter. We had a very successful fall rush, pledging 21 of the finest gentlemen on campus. We have also successfully started the defense of the Badger Bowl trophy, which is awarded to the overall greek athletics champion. We have won the trophy for the last three

COLONIES SUNY - Albany Our numbers are growing, and by spring semester we should have enough pledges to put us above the average fraternity size. We are in the process of setting up alumni contacts and starting an alumni corporation. In any alumni in the Albany, New York area would like to help, please call Mike at518-4628547. We are publishing our first newsletter, the Delta Legend, and would like your comments and feedback. We are saving our money for installation which we hope will be in late April. Next semester should be the best ever for the colony, so if you are in the area, call and stop by. Michael Cestone '95, President

Auburn University The Auburn Colony is now in a house, which not only allows for growth in membership but in all aspects of fraternity life. Our campus involvement is at an all-time high, consequently our fall rush was very successful. Our scholastic rankings forthe previous two quarters were third and sixth out of 30 fraternities. Our membership is now up to 29 and winter rush prospects are encouraging. We are participating in local philanthropy projects and alumni support is growing. The colony is planning for installation in the fall of 1994. Matt Rhodes '94, President

University of British Columbia Greetings from the province of British Columbia. Our colony began the year with a renewed rush. Although the entire greek system open rush was down in numbers, we added 20% to our numbers. Not having a house, we used a central location to set up outside, complete with a painted van, pool table, stereo, couches, etc. Our visibility on campus was greatly increased this year, and we will continue to improve on it. As far as our house is coming, our members will soon (at the time of this writing) meet with alumnae from a local, inactive sorority, to try to sublet their room at the University's Pan-Hellenic building. This will give the chapter the meeting place needed for future growth. We fully expect to move in by the time you read this. In other news, the colony is beginning to plan our annual major philanthropy event. We will attempt to get people up to a local mountain to do a "slush jump for charity." It should be

COLLEGIATE REVIEW DU recognizes the times are changing for all .grceks. With new rules, requirements and expectations that the greek system is facing nationally, the Washington State Chapter is evolving accordingly. We understand that in order to survive as a fraternity, we must unify and face the challenges set forth by the new times. The Washington State Chapter continues to be very involved and successful with varsity and intramural sports, and we hope to continue the winning ways throughout the year. We would also like to thank our very supportive alumni who came down for homecoming and made the weekend one to remember. Thank you for all the help, alumni.

We defended the IFC greek week title by becoming champions for the third consecutive year. We finished first and second in the golf tournament and placed second in baseball. With successes like these, DU should have no trouble winning our fifth straight IFC all-sports trophy. Fall rush went extremely well ending with a pledge class of 25, the largest in the greek community. We held our 5th annual game ball run during homecoming weekend, raising nearly $3,000 for the Ronald Macdonald House. We are also planning a trick-or-treat event with the Big Brothers Association.

DELTA UPSILON QUARTERLY/JANUARY 1994

Academically DU at Western is without a doubt the strongest throughout the greek system, with many members accepted to graduate schools. Once again we are planning major restoration projects for the chapter house. The fall newsletter was very well accepted and I would like to thank all the alumni who took the time to respond and get involved. This year is proving to be one of unprecedented successes for Delta Upsilon due to the pride and efforts of both the undergraduates and alumni. Trevor Hardy '94, President Western Reserve University This has been a year of growth and development for our chapter. Fall rush produced a small, but very promising pledge class and several leads for spring rush. We are completing our first full year of the house lease and are experiencing several benefits of the lease already. We have been able to make several critical repairs, and with support from our alumni, we will continue to make improvements. Our third annual spring food drive brought in almost $2,500 worth of food, and with our annual Christmas food drive, it could be one of the most successful ever. Many of our brothers helped in building a park in the Coventry area, a project covered by the local television stations. We sent two men to the Leadership Institute which was a rewarding experience and enabled the men to make even more important contributions to the chapter. Thanks to our alumni for helping to send these men to the Leadership Institute. We are trying to raise the $900 that will be needed to send two men again this year. Thanks to our alumni for the support for our continued growth and expansion. Toby N. Weingarten '96, President Wichita State University As always, there was plenty of activity around Wichita Webster last fall. At the end of the fall rush period, we ranked third out of the nine fraternities on campus with a pledge class of 15 men. Our executive council is trying to develop the new young talent within the house to fill leadership positions. We placed first this fall in volunteers for the Red Cross blood drive, first in the spirit award during reek week, and are preparing for a "three-peat" in the Delta Gamma Anchor Splash (swimming intramurals). Things are looking up for us. For the first time in several years, it looks as if we might actually get an alumni organization formed to help the undergraduate chapter deal with the challenges and ongoing issues it faces. Phil Neff '63 is heading a small group of alumni that have been instrumental in helping to get this effort underway. If any alumni have questions in regard to the ongoing alumni effort, please call me at (home) 316-687-4699 or (work) 316-263-5761. Dikaia Upotheke and best wishes for the New Year! Erell! Cowan '94, President University of Wisconsin We have started the year off strongly here at the Wisconsin Chapter. We had a very successful fall rush, pledging 21 of the finest gentlemen on campus. We have also successfully started the defense ofthe Badger Bowl trophy, which is awarded to the overall greek athletics champion. We have won the trophy for the last three

years, and have started the quest for the fourth, by winning the first two events, golf and soccer. We have secured the scholastics trophy, awarded to the fraternity with the highest GPA. We beat out 32 other fraternities to win this award. Our third annual Bump-Set-Splash philanthropy was a big success this fall. This is a water volleyball tournament in which the different sororities compete against each other. The money we raised was given to the Transition Education Program, which helps underprivileged children in the Madison area with school supplies and tutors if they cannot afford them. We would like to thank our dedicated alumni for their generous donations of time, and their efforts with fund raising. The money raised has gone to refurbishing our chapter house, and thanks to our alumni, the house is in great shape. Our spirit and pride are high here at Wisconsin as we look forward to another great year. James Engelsma '94, Secretary COLONIES SUNY - Albany Our numbers are growing, and by spring semester we should have enough pledges to put us above the average fraternity size. We are in the process of setting up alumni contacts and starting an alumni corporation. In any alumni in the Albany, New York area would like to help, please call Mike at 518-4628547. We are publishing our first newsletter, the Delta Legend, and would like your comments and feedback. We are saving our money for installation which we hope will be in late April. Next semester should be the best ever for the colony, so if you are in the area, call and stop by. Michael Cestone '95, President Auburn University The Auburn Colony is now in a house, which not only allows for growth in membership but in all aspects of fraternity life. Our campus involvement is at an all-time high, consequently our fall rush was very successful. Our scholastic rankings for the previous two quarters were third and sixth out of 3D fraternities. Our membership is now up to 29 and winter rush prospects are encouraging. We are participating in local philanthropy projects and alumni support is growing. The colony is planning for installation in the fall of 1994. Matt Rhodes '94, Presidell! University of British Columbia Greetings from the province of British Columbia. Our colony began the year with a renewed rush. Although the entire greek system open rush was down in numbers, we added 20% to our numbers. Not having a house, we used a central location to set up outside, complete with a painted van, pool table, stereo, couches, etc. Our visibility on campus was greatly increased this year, and we will continue to improve on it. As far as our house is coming, our members will soon (at the time of this writing) meet with alumnae from a local, inactive sorority, to try to sublet their room at the University's Pan-Hellenic building. This will give the chapter the meeting place needed for future growth. We fully expect to move in by the time you read this. In other news, the colony is beginning to plan our annual major philanthropy event. We will attempt to get people up to a local mountain to do a "slush jump for charity." It should be

COLLE<iIATE REVIEW great fun and raise money for the Lorne Fraser Fund which is giving out its first scholarship next year. We hope to move our overall standings up a spot or two this year. Our scholarship program is also making progress. We have just implemented a mandatory study program of five hours weekly, and hope to bring this activity into our meeting room in January. DU is solidly established at UBC, and we look forward to a great year. Greg Facer '96, VP Rush Carthage College Carthage Colony is off to a busy start this semester. Two of our members returned from their first Leadership Institute this summer and brought back a lot of fresh ideas to help our colony develop. Plans for this semester are our annual Bowla-thon and Bingo Bash. Our philanthropy for this fall was with Freedom House of Kenosha, where we renovated numerous store fronts and apartments to be used for the homeless. We went to Milwaukee for the Delta Upsilon Club's 70th Annual Dinner. As for our long term goals we have ideas in the works for a Teeter-Totter-a-Thou, with proceeds from this going towards our international philanthropy, The Villages. We hopefor a good turnout, and welcome all area undergraduate and alumni to join us. Chris Novak '95, President University of Central Florida Our hard work and organized rush resulted in a pledge class of 17, with an additional four later in the semester. A highlight of the year was the presentation by Brother Will Keirn, Pacific '75.

We won first place in Delta Gamma's Anchor Splash, first in spirit for Delta Delta Delta's Dolphin Days, third in line dance, and third in spirit for Pi Beta Phi's Rock the Arrow. Our social calendar has been full. Pi Phi's man of the year is Arrowman Shawn Smith, and Delta Gamma's man of the year is Anchorman Aaron Clevenger. With the help of Al Pascale, we have established a working Financial Review Board. Our publication The Mallard continues to be a successful tool in our alumni relations. We sponsored the Russell Home canned food drive for abandoned children, and the first annual Dine with DU sorority dinner with proceeds going to the Russell Home. Aaron Clevenger '95, President Pace University We are very pleased with our accomplishments this fall and we have done better than we had expected. We had a very successful rush, rushing 40 men and pledging 21, the largest pledge class on campus. We all wore new rush T-shirts which were impressive. We had a successful mixer with a sorority. In philanthropy we purchased clothing for a needy family, donated food to a Thanksgiving charity, and gave money to the United Way. Fall semester saw our first annual DU Male Review with everyone involved in singing and comedy routines. Each man was then bid upon by the audience to provide 12 hours of service. Our proceeds were over $3,000. Nicholas J. Oliva '95, President Shippensburg University The Shippensburg Colony added five new men to its ranks this fall. With this formal rush behind the group, they are already planning for a very successful spring recruitment period.

The colony has held several car washes and a benefit dinner to help a brother recently involved in an accident. Best wishes for his speedy recovery. On a lighter note, it has been a semester of firsts for the colony. DU placed first in grades, and has won the Intramural cup. January will see the publication of the first alumni newsletter put out by the colony. Watch your mail boxes' The undergraduates would like to thank all those who attended this fall's alumni picnic. Any alumni in the Shippensburg area are invited to stop by the colony house. Headquarters Staff St. Norbert College The Saint Norbert Colony has had a very busy semester, starting with the Homecoming carnival in the fall. The colony members showed great spirit throughout the entire week of events, and in the end DU captured second place among greek organizations. We all had a great time and decided to concentrate on using Homecoming as a rush tool. In addition to other rush events, we thought that Homecoming was our greatest asset this semester. We have eight men pledging who should all be members by the end of the program. They are a surprisingly active group that need little motivation to get things done right. With the members and pledges, DU has once again set the tone for a great year in service projects. We have already helped with an AIDS benefit dance, we organized an information booth for a Parents Weekend, we helped out at a local Haunted House for the JayCees, and donated blood as a group for the American Red Cross. All of these service projects taught us a lesson of brotherhood in their own way. The Saint Norbert DUs have set this year to be one full of community service. It has been great so far, and we expect nothing less George Argyros '95, VP - Public Relations Stanford University The colony continued to gain momentum during the fall semester. They began the school year with a tailgate reception prior to the San Jose football game. Although still three weeks prior to the start of school, there was good attendance and everyone had a great time. Fraternity staff helped the men organize according to the Seven Stars System. The men have increased their involvement with the IFC and attend the Greek Leadership Circles on campus. They are maintaining a strong academic performance in addition to their campus participation in newspapers, athletics and residence hall life. The Stanford Colony looks forward to a strong spring as they participate in their first IFC rush. Any alumni interested in assisting with this effort, or who have any questions, please contact the colony president, Matt Hulse. Headquarters Staff

Board of Governors. Brother Tissera was voted TSU tennis team's MVP and Brother Ungericht was appointed as the assistant coach for the men's and women's tennis program. On the community service front, we are still the campus Disaster Action Team and we work with the American Red Cross. We plan to have a Christmas party for the local underprivileged children, a cycle-a-thon, and we also plan to bring the NAMES project to campus. We are looking at the possibility of the biggest pledge class DU has had at Tri-State. Wish us luck. The brothers know what it takes to earn the charter and we are working extremely hard to achieve that goal. If you are in the Angola area, please drop by our house at 319 S. Darling Street; phone (2 I 9) 665-1184. Everyone at TSU wishes all chapters and colonies a very successful rush and special congratulations go to the DePauw Chapter for winning the Sweepstakes Award. Tejinder Singh '94, President Western Maryland College Fall was a busy time for the Western Maryland colony as we continued to reach our goal of being installed as a chapter in the spring. We participated in a variety of service projects including a Thanksgiving canned food drive and an alcohol awareness initiative with MADD. We have many brothers involved on campus with almost every member of the colony on a varsity athletic team. For the past two years, our pledge classes have posted the highest GPA of all fraternity pledge classes, and we have been recognized for our scholarship program. This fall was the first year of deferred rush for Western Maryland, so we are eager for a successful informal rush this spring. Gary Carter '94, President

Tri-State University Things are moving along nicely so far this year. The "rebirth" of the Tri-State Colony is complete and things are certainly looking better even though we are down to seven members. DU is definitely making a name for itself at TriState, although we are on IFC suspension until the end of winter quarter. Brother Singh, our colony president, was elected as the president of the TSU Student Senate. He was also nominated for Homecoming king. Due to his position as the Student Senate president, he was invited to join TSU's

DelTA UPSILON QUARTERLY/JANUARY 1994

iAustrian, continued from p. 17)

"1 think thats true. There was a real

problem with the Ichapter I hack in the early to mid-Su s, where there were some individuals in the fraternity that probably had some activities that were really not appropriate anvwhere. "I know I spent a lot of time with the thenPresident. David Frazier. convincing him not to totally ban the fraternity, but to basically put them off for a year or two. And that was a long, long series of nightly discussions he and 1 had over a period of 3 or 4 days, when several instances of behavior just culminating had him saying, 'Listen, this is it!' "And 1 think in a lot of cases fraternities bring it on themselves ... When you are in a group, I think everybody ultimately takes responsibility for the other person's actions. And unless there's that responsibility each [brother] shares, you're going to find yourself labeled and tagged in ways you don't want. Q: You pledged DU in your freshman year, and served as chapterpresident during your senior year. What do you think you learnedfrom your experience in the [raternitv?

"I think the fraternity was a microcosm of life ... We had so many individuals, all of them extremely bright, all of them with a different point of view, none of them who 1 would say were the same. 1 think it gave me a chance to show you could get along in a group, and it was a smaller group than the college at large, which made it a little bit easier. "I think it also gave a chance to see if you had any leadership skills or desire to get into a leadership capacity, which 1 think it allowed a number of us to do. "I also think it was a place where you made friends for life. 1 mean 1 think you can over-emphasize what a fraternity is, and come up with some fairly lofty statements. The reason 1joined, and the reason I'm still glad Ijoined, were the friendships I made. My DU fraternity brothers are still my best friends today, 30-some years later. I still vacation with 'em, still party with 'em. "When my wife threw a surprise 40th birthday party for me (a number of years ago), I guess there must have been 15 or 20 Swarthmore [brothers] at the party. And 1

DELTAUPStLON QUARTERLY/JANUARY 1994

think that probably summarizes it better than anything else, in terms of what I got out of the fraternity. 1mean for them to come across the country for something as insignificant as a 40th birthday party, frankly, to me, was wonderful." Q: Based on your observations, from a marketing standpoint. what should DU chapters be doing to assure a brightfuture?

"A number of schools have done a very good job of providing the social amenities today, that maybe the fraternities provided back in the 50's and 60's. So I think there has to be a different reason for being, than just to have parties. "A number of the fraternities have done a very good job of trying to show the men and women on campus that there's a positive force whether it's charity work, community service, or leadership roles on campus. I think that probably, along with helping some of the students who academically need help, is the biggest role. 'To say we have the best parties, today, probably is the wrong message."

Q: And a limited one, as well.

"Very, very limited. And given the change in what's happened, I mean, it seems to me when I got out of school, 1 never worried about getting a job; there was a job market. Things weren't as hyper-charged and competitive as they are today. 1see kids going in as freshmen now, worrying about if they are going to get a job when they graduate. "I think movies like 'Animal House' do more to hurt fraternities, if people perceive that that's what a fraternity is ... but chapters don't merchandise and market themselves in terms of the positives - they are not playing offense, they're usually playing defense." Q: Anything to say for the good (It' the order. to the alumni, the undergraduates, parents, and college administrators who receive the Quarterly?

"To me, DU was a very important part of my life, and why it's still an important part, are the friends I made. They're my friends for life, and I think that's what it's all about."
