Letter From the E
Hello Alumni!
I hope you all have been enjoying your summer as much as we have. The active members have
been hard at work preparing for upcoming Rush, and can’t wait to get back on campus to put all
our plans into action. However we are always interested in hearing any ideas from alumni with
regards to ideas for Rush or what was done in the past years that seemed to work. It would be
great to hear from you, if you have any suggestions. We would also love to know if you know any
incoming University of Illinois students. If you do, please give us their information so that we may
contact them about rush. In the past alumnus influence has helped us recruit many members so if
you have any family or family friends who might be interested in rushing a fraternity I hope that
you will let them know about all the great times you have had as a member of Delta Chi. Lastly if
you have any announcements that you may feel alumni may be interested in please let me know
and I will be sure to include them in the next Four Columns. As much as I know you love hearing
about us and current house affairs, we know you are also interested in what is going on with your
pledge brothers and other pledge classes through the years. I will be sending out another Four
Columns prior to homecoming on October 25th.
ITB,
Vincent Davis ‘16

2014 Delta Chi National Convention
As some of you may know, this week was the Delta Chi National Convention and I as
well as our “C” Joseph Langhenry ’16 had the pleasure of representing our chapter at
this year’s edition in Scottsdale, AZ. This convention was a historic one for the Delta
Chi fraternity as a whole; a resolution was passed that the Delta Chi Fraternity does
not and will not tolerate sexual harassment, stalking, domestic violence, dating
violence, and sexual assault. Any member found liable of any of these charges will be
brought up on the charge of “Conduct unbecoming a Delta Chi” and adjudicated under
Delta Chi law. We would also like to congratulate Miles Washburn, Marquez Brown,
and Aaron Otto on being elected “AA”, “CC”, and “DD” respectively. The next
convention will be held in 2 years in Louisville and we would love to see all of you
alumni there. It is a great opportunity to interact with many generations of Chi’s and
share stories.
News/Events
This upcoming semester we have decided to hold a spring philanthropy for the first time in a
while in addition to our Winter Miss Greek Illinois Philanthropy. We made this decision to
honor our fallen brother Casey Wycoff White who was tragically taken from us just a few
months ago. The philanthropy will be softball based and all the proceeds will be going
towards a charity to help children get baseball equipment and be able to play the game
Casey always loved. We hope to continue holding this event as a chapter tradition for many
years to come.
As a reminder, we are still promoting our 1111 Endowment Fund to renovate the areas
aforementioned in our previous email. Take a moment to give back to the home that gave
you so much.
