Twenty
years have
passed since
Delta Chi
announced
an all star
team of its
greatest college and
professional
stars in the
Fall 1981
Quarterly.
Now, with
the help of
alumni
judges, we
are pleased to
again recognize
those
brothers who
have achieved success on the gridiron.
Eight of the brothers
named to this new selection have made
their mark in the last
two decades, including two who played
in the NFL in 2000.
Among our judges
were Jacksonville

Joining Sean in the
backfield are two returnees from the
1981 selections. The
first player chosen
in the 1938 NFL
draft,
Corby
Davis, Indiana
’38, was an AllAmerican
and Big 10
MVP in 1937.
He played in
the East-West
Shrine Game and
College All-Star Game before
joining the Cleveland Rams for
four pro years (1938-41).
Harrison “Boss” Weeks, Michigan ’03, guided the Wolverines’
legendary “point-a-minute”
teams of 1901-02. The 1901 team
was 10-0 (including a 49-0 win in
the first Rose Bowl); scored 501
points; and shutout every opponent. He was team captain and a second team All-American for the 11-0
Michigan squad, which scored 644
points while allowing just 12.

Three-time All-American Chuck Kassel,
Illinois ’27, leads the receivers. The 1926 Illini
captain, he joined the NFL Chicago Bears,
Frankford Yellow Jackets and Chicago Cardinals for seven seasons, playing 79 games between 1927 and 1933 and being an All-NFL
second team pick in 1930. Henry Stanton,
Arizona ’42, was a Little All-American after
leading the nation with a record 50 receptions
for 820 yards during the 1941 season. An AllBorder Conference choice in 1940-41, he played
in the East-West Shrine Game and is a charter
member of the Arizona Sports Hall of Fame.
Hampton Pool, Stanford ’40, was a five year
pro with the Chicago Bears (1940-43) and
Miami Seahawks of the All-American Football Conference (1946), playing both tight end
and defensive end. He played in two Pro
Bowls and four straight NFL championship
games for the Bears, scoring a TD in the 1940
memorable 73-0 win over the Washington
Redskins. Hampton later was head coach of the
Chicago Rockets (1947), Los Angeles Rams (195254) and CFL Toronto Argonauts (1957-59).
Pro Football Hall of Fame tackle Ron Mix,
Southern California ’60, was named to the
Alltime AFL Team, earning All-AFL honors
nine times during an 11 year, 142 game career
with the San Diego Chargers. Before turning
pro, he was a 1959 All-American and is in the
USC Athletic Hall of Fame. Our other tackle,
Shar Pourdanesh, Nevada-Reno ’93, was CFL
Most Outstanding Lineman in 1994 for the
CFL champion Baltimore Stallions and AllEastern Division for the Stallions in 1995. He
has since played for the Washington Redskins
(1996-98) and Pittsburgh Steelers (1999-2000).
Both offensive guards are holdovers from
the 1981 first team. Bruno Banducci, Stanford
’43, played for the “Wow Boys” 1941 Rose
Bowl squad then played 12 pro seasons and
131 games for the Philadelphia Eagles (194445), San Francisco 49ers (1946-54) and Toronto

CAMPUS SCENE
ABRACADABRA
COLONY
When Delta Chi decided to
come back to Berkeley this past
spring, there was no guarantee
of success. Four leadership
consultants had the task of
talking to prospective students
and encouraging them to join.
Over the course of a two-week
informational period, the consultants had gathered a large
number of possible members,
and by the end of the monthlong selection process, the final
24 members had been chosen.
Unlike other Delta Chi
Chapters, which are named after their school, our name derives from a different source. In
the mid-1960s, when fraternity
recruitment was steadily decreasing, Delta Chi encouraged
the former California Chapter,
in an effort to survive, to merge
with a local fraternity. That local fraternity was called the
Abracadabra Fraternity, and
was only to be found on the
Berkeley campus. As part of
the merger of the two, Delta
Chi authorized the California
Chapter to initiate all the Abracadabra members, young
and old alike at no charge and
accepted the name “Abracadabra” as the chapter’s name.
Unfortunately, even with the
increased number of men in
the chapter, Delta Chi could
not survive the anti-establishment feeling of the era that targeted fraternities as places of
strict conformity. The chapter
closed its doors in 1968 for the
first time in its history. However,
in 1978, another group of determined men started up the chapter. This creation would last 16
years until the chapter had to
once again shut its doors.
Now, once again, the Abracadabra Colony has reorganized and is as determined as
ever to become the best fraternity on campus. The future of
Delta Chi looks extremely
bright. We have a core group
of guys who are serious about
the ritual, traditions, and values for which Delta Chi stands.
4 ∆X Quarterly Summer/Fall 2001
“Everyone is working together to make this fraternity
the strongest it has been in
decades and I personally believe that this can be accomplished within a few years,”
said “F” Steven Rhorer.
One early goal for the
colony is to obtain its charter.
This charter would encapsulate everything that we stand
for and would act as a guide
for future generations of Delta
Chis. We are also determined
to make a positive impact on
not just our brothers, but the
Greek community as a whole.
“Our past has taught us that in
order to survive, we must
adapt to the needs of the community; the leaders of which
comprise the brothers of the
Greek community,” said “A”
Joseph Enayati. “ Abracadabra
is going to change the fraternity scene on this campus. We
are going to renovate fraternities, change the mentality and
attitudes towards fraternities,
and maximize the unique potential contained within fraternities and the brotherhood
which lies within them.”
In order to better help its brothers, the colony will hand out
scholarships worth up to
$10,000 dollars to different
members for academic and
philanthropic achievement.
Not only that, but we have also
determined that helping out its
external community, such as
the city of Berkeley and Bay
Area as a whole, will be a top
priority. “We are looking for
men who are going to put their
heart and soul into the fraternity. We want members who
realize the importance of academic achievement and have
respect for the school and the
community as a whole” said
Matt Bendett, Chair of the Associate Member Committee.
In the same semester it was
brought back, the Abracadabra
Colony has already recruited
three associates who will be
initiated, and plans are for a
very large incoming class in the
fall. With a great deal of effort
being put into establishing the
colony on campus and in the
community, our goals are clear
and we do not intend on closing our doors again.
ALABAMA
Teaming with Kappa Alpha
Theta, we finished second in
Greek Week. Two weeks of diligent work by all made our 56th
annual Indian Party a success
far beyond what was expected.
We also hosted the International Students Association
spring party as our newest
philanthropy project.
Brandon Hill and Steven
Yates are two of newest
members of the University’s
Avanti team, an orientation
team for incoming freshmen.
In addition, Steven Yates is a
new member of the Capstone
Men and Women.
As we continue to grow, we
have started a new incentive
for academic achievement.
Two, one-time, $500 scholarships are going to be awarded
to incoming freshmen who exemplify academic achievement
and community involvement.
Looking ahead to the summer, rush is the major task at
hand. With this in mind, we
have three major rush parties
planned. Jim Merrill ‘58 has
agreed to host a rush party in
Huntsville
and
Paul
Barnett ‘75 is hosting another rush party in Mobile.
The third will be held in
Tuscaloosa at the house.
APPALACHIAN STATE
We are pleased to have
seven associates who, along
with the rest of us, are excited
about reestablishing this chapter as the best on campus. We
have a number of young guys
and a core of older guys who
are primed and ready to help
this chapter grow and shine on
campus and in the community.
We have also had a number of
alumni who have been there
for us as we have gone through
some changes to recommit ourselves and our chapter to liv-
ing up to the values and beliefs
of Delta Chi.
We have participated in
numerous projects to help
our community and those
less fortunate. We worked
with the Adopt-a-Highway
program, the annual Tiger
Cub Snow box, a diaper
drive, and a canned food
drive among other things this
semester. This not only helps
out others but it also helps us
as brothers to strengthen the
bond we share.
In intramurals, we are currently ranked in second place
in all-university points. We
also picked up the Pickle Ball
Championship along with a
second place finished in flag
football and volleyball.
ARIZONA STATE
COLONY
With a current membership
of 25, we are filled with dreams
and desires to make Delta Chi
a strong influence on campus.
We were initiated on February
17, 2001 with the aid of the Arizona Chapter and since then
we have participated in three
philanthropies; Kappa Kappa
Gamma’s Kick off, Delta
Gamma’s Anchor Splash and
Chi Omega’s “Catch a Chi-O.”
We have also volunteered our
time to Mahnah Gala’s fundraiser that raised over $65,000
for battered women and deprived children. We were also
able to attend the Region II
Leadership Conference held at
the Long Beach Chapter. We
are blessed to have a strong
ABT that has done a number
of things to help us get on our
feet, and invaluable alumni
support whom are all more
than willing to help in every
way possible. Russ Gunther
’89 and Todd Mastrorilli ’97
have devoted countless hours
to our success, which is greatly
appreciated. In only two
months we have been able to
pull together and focus on our
charter as well as forming a
volleyball team that went to
the final round in intramurals
and a softball team that has defeated four of the biggest fraternities on campus. We are
currently in the process of writing our by-laws and our AMC
program to prepare for fall
rush. Our Housing Committee
is now trying to get housing set
up hopefully for next year. We
will be starting next year by
helping the freshmen move
into their dorms in early August. We are rushing in September and in October we are
planning a Founders’ Day banquet in conjunction with the
parents who will be here for
parents’ weekend, allowing
them to meet some of our
alumni. Next year we plan on
having our very first philanthropy, an alumni golf tournament, and White Carnation formal while focusing mainly on
the attainment of our charter.
AUBURN
This spring marked our first
spring on the semester system.
Due to the shortened number
of months, there was more to
do during each weekend. We
continued our philanthropic
activities with Valentine’s parties, Easter, and many other
activities. Our annual Kimball
Classic Golf Tournament for
the alumni was again very successful with numerous alumni
returning to the plains to share
memories and to play a little
golf. Deltiki, our annual
weeklong party went off without a hitch, giving the brothers a few days to unwind and
enjoy the time away from
studying. This spring also
marks our third consecutive
All-Sports Trophy. Academically, we marked our second
consecutive term to be listed
in the top five.
Our latest house renovations, which include a new
basement and chapter
room, will be completed by
mid summer.
year. This tournament is promising to be bigger than last
year’s. The tournament is always a great way to meet
new people and introduce
the freshmen to the campus.
Another event in the works
is our Summer Alumni weekend. We are hoping that the
chapter can bring back
alumni during the summer in
order to increase participation in the following years.
BEHREND
Our first annual soccer philanthropy to benefit the American Cancer Society was held
with five fraternities and three
sororities participating. The
games kicked off at 1:00 in the
afternoon and continued until
5:00. The final game ended in
a five-minute overtime and a
final shoot-out.
We also participated in
Greek Week, a weeklong event
to promote Greek unity. This
year’s theme was “The Week
Zeus Let Loose.” We were
paired with the ladies of Alpha
Phi for the week’s activities
that included Assassination
Survivor, Lip Sync, Home-run
Derby, Greek Olympics, and
the Beta 500. Awards were
given out for different events
and an overall week winner
was selected. This year, our
participants won Best Dressed
for dressing up as mobsters for
Our eleventh annual formal
brought back alumni from all
over including “AA” Bill Williams. Efforts have been underway to abolish the first semester rush restriction that is
present on campus. This would
allow for rush in 2001 to be
larger and also allow Greek life
to become more prevalent. Justin Hays and Thomas Orlando
were each elected to IFC executive board positions and they
have been trying to make positive changes to the Greek system. The last major event held
on campus was the annual
Greek Awards Convocation in
which we pulled in many recognition awards.
With the end of the semester we started planning for our
Third Annual Soccer Tournament, which is put on at the
beginning of each new school
BOWLING GREEN
COLONY
Assassination Survivor. Along
with the Alpha Phis we won
Most Spirit, second place for
Lip Sync, and second in Greek
Olympics. Last but not least,
we brought home the trophy
for overall Greek Week winners. Congratulations to everyone who participated and supported our guys!
CAL POLY
One of our biggest goals is
to try to improve our alumni
relations. We have had brotherhood events with some local
alumni, including barbecues at
the main house and road trips
to Tahoe and Las Vegas. Our
biggest alumni event, however,
was the Delta Chi Annual
Alumni Golf Tournament in
April. Over 30 alumni attended this two-day event,
which is also our biggest
fundraiser. The event consisted
of a barbecue at the main house
Friday night in honor of all the
visiting alumni. The following
Saturday morning began with
an 18 hole golf tournament at
Dairy Creek Golf Course, followed by the alumni and
awards dinner at night. This one
weekend raised over $1,000.
This spring we took fourth
in Greek Week with Alpha
Gamma Rho and Sigma Kappa.
Key events were swimming, inner-tube water polo, bowling,
and trap shooting (in which we
took first place by far).
Spring quarter marked the
beginning for Brent Vann to
campaign for Cal Poly’s Associated Students, Inc. President.
CENTRAL MISSOURI
Brothers from Appalachian State and Purdue unite in Florida during Spring Break.
The word at Central Missouri Delta Chi this spring was
philanthropy. One of our first
events was ushering for the
Theater Department. The next
big event was making
Valentine’s Day cards with the
ladies of Alpha Gamma Delta for
the local nursing home. Soon,
Easter was upon us and we
teamed up with the Big Brothers and Sisters of Warrensburg
and held an Easter egg hunt.
Our last event was having a
clean up day at the Historical
Society of Warrensburg. On
March 31, 2001 we had Alumni
Weekend with over 135 alumni
∆X Quarterly Summer/Fall 2001 5
returning home to Warrensburg.
The First Annual Kimble Golf
Classic was held with 60 alumni
and actives taking part.
CORNELL
In intramural sports, our
bowling team finished with
the leading win-loss record of
8-1, but fell short of gold in
an incredibly close single
game differential. In wrestling, Jonathan Kaplan ’02
easily reached the finals but
fell to a tough opponent.
Former “A” Tim Sharp ’02
reached the semifinals in the
tennis bracket. Our indoor
soccer team returned as defending champions, easily
making its way into the playoffs. Finally, our indoor floor
hockey team had reached the
finals as of this writing.
We would also like to welcome our 11 new brothers.
The newly initiated brothers
led a project to renovate the
coatroom and install a new
computerized sound system
in the house.
Lastly, we would like to
congratulate our alumni and
friends who earned Delta Chi
an award for an outstanding
faculty fellow program.
DEPAUW
We spent our formal in the
beautiful mountains of
Gatlinburg, Tennessee. There,
we enjoyed horseback riding
and white water rafting. That
evening, the dance was one of
the best in memory.
When we returned, we
started to gear up for school
with our annual Little 5 Race.
Our bike team members were,
Zachary Boardman, Glenn
McCain, Andrew Coffin, and
captain Brandon Emkes. We
earned a lot of respect by coming in a very close second.
The most recent event was
a philanthropy in which the
entire campus participated. Relay for Life is sponsored by the
American Cancer Society and
is a 24-hour walking relay. Its
goal is to spread information
about cancer as well as to
honor survivors and remember the victims. This year we
were out in full force as a student died last week from cancer and we decided to honor
her memory during this event.
EMBRY-RIDDLE
We have been actively pursuing a Greek Row at EmbryRiddle. Thanks to the combined efforts of many of our
undergraduate and alumni
brothers, the dream may soon
become a reality. We are participating in fundraising
events, such as the Daytona
500 and the Orlando Rage
(XFL) home football games, to
help fund a new house.
We started the semester off
with the Region VIII Leadership Conference in January.
Representatives from 16 chap-
ters attended for a weekend of
fun and leadership seminars.
We are grateful for the opportunity to have been able to host
the conference and we thank
everyone for attending.
In philanthropy we continued our Adopt-a-Highway program in front of the school along
Clyde Morris Blvd. We also
have been volunteering at the
Braille Library. Our biggest
event was the Relay for Life,
which was an event to raise
money for cancer research in
which brothers walked for 18
straight hours to help raise
funds to find a cure for cancer.
At the end of the year, EmbryRiddle awarded the chapter
with the Eagle Service Award.
FLORIDA
We came back to the Florida
campus with a big bang last
semester. Beginning with what
was arguably the most successful rush on the campus, we
were very proud to obtain a
group of 24 men to carry our
chapter into the future. Our
brothers were busy both on
campus and in the community.
As the semester forged on,
we succeeded victoriously in
every philanthropy we entered, a feat unmatched by any
other chapter on campus. We
continued our success during
Greek Week as our canned
food drive raised over $2000
for local homeless shelters.
Furthermore, Delta Chi lead
UF in educating fraternities
and sororities on risk management, alcohol abuse and sexual
harassment issues. Along with
the chapter ’s accomplishments, there are several undergraduates, as well as alumni,
who deserve distinct recognition. “D” Aaron Bernstein, recently had the honor of having
a scholarship named after him.
The Aaron Bernstein Scholarship Award will be presented
annually to UF’s most dedicated organization president.
This honor was given to him
based on his dedication in Savant UF, a progressive honor
society encompassing leadership skills and training at
Florida. Two of our distinguished alumni, Congressman Dan Miller and Congressman John L. Mica, were
also recently reelected.
FREDONIA
Last fall, we had our 9th annual Delta Chi banquet, which
had some surprises in store for
us. We would like to thank
“AA” Bill Williams for speaking at this occasion. Our numbers just keep getting bigger
and bigger. Our spring was the
most memorable. With our
numbers at 47 we dominated
Greek Week by winning almost every event and taking
home the trophy. That night we
had our Greek Week banquet
with all the fraternities and sororities present. Christopher
Dobson was awarded Outstanding Greek of the Year.
We are putting together a
housing foundation so Delta
Chi can possibly be the first
fraternity at Fredonia with its
own house. Everyone in
Fredonia is realizing that
there is no other way to go
than Delta Chi.
FULLERTON COLONY
Georgia Tech brothers, AMs and friends during Homecoming Philanthropy Day.
6 ∆X Quarterly Summer/Fall 2001
We initiated seven associates, which puts us just above
the average size for our campus. We improved our scholarship dramatically, as our
G.P.A. is now 2 points above
the all-male average and 2nd
among fraternities. We swept
Greek Week by earning top
honors in flag football, spirit
and house decorations. We also
won lip sync and earned a
Greek Week banner for best
theme. We helped elect two
of our members to A.S.I. positions in addition to the two
members who are currently
serving on the IFC Executive
Council. One was to the position A.S. Vice President.
We were also represented at
our 2001 Regional Leadership
Conference in Long Beach, and
participated in The Road Chair
Exchange Program. We have
grabbed hold of our campus,
and are looking forward to
chartering in the near future.
GANNON
Recently, Jeremy Ballero
was elected Student Government Association President,
winning by a two-thirds margin. Congratulations are also in
order for Adam Griffith who
was first runner up in the
Gannon Greek God competition. Also during Greek Week,
our chapter won the annual
Lip Sync competition. But
more important than individual accomplishments, was
the recent celebration of our
30th anniversary. At our White
Carnation formal we were
lucky enough to have two of our
founding fathers, Brad Colwell,
and Mike Dancison in attendance. We were also fortunate
enough to have “AA” Bill Williams in attendance. The night
was spent reliving the past, enjoying the present, and optimistically predicting the future
strength of our chapter. We
would like to thank all the
alumni who joined us in celebrating our 30th anniversary.
GEORGIA TECH
Our first decade approached
its end this past April at our 10th
Anniversary Chartering Banquet. The festivities included an
alumni-undergrad golf tournament, an elegant black tie banquet highlighted with speeches
by several Delta Chi VIP’s, and
of course a dance party lasting
until the early morning hours.
This event marked the pinnacle
of an amazing year that saw a
best-ever second place finish in
Homecoming, the crowning of
one of our own as Mr. Georgia
Tech, as well as a strong show-
Kansas State undergraduates and alumni at the house after the Brotherhood Banquet.
ing in Greek Week. The year
came to a close with our annual
Reggae Weekend bash.
Last year, we placed 2nd in
four intramural sports including softball, volleyball, 5’ 9’’ and
under basketball, and football.
IDAHO
What an exciting semester.
Most notable of all our achievements was being the recipient
of the Campus Excellence
Award, a distinguished university award given to the most
outstanding Greek chapter. We
also finished second in the running for intramurals, third in
the annual Pi Beta Phi Arrow
Challenge philanthropy and
initiated 17 new members.
Thanks to Matt Jessup and
Timm Heimgartner, we reformed our ABT, working under the leadership effort of Tim
McMurtrey and Dave Rudeen.
We also added new members
to Kappa Delta, our housing
corporation. New members
will assist Dick Shisler in our
upcoming plans to make improvements to our house property and structure. Thanks to
past “E” and current chapter
“A” Jesse Uhlorn, we have
sustained his adopt-a-room
program, which added two
newly refurbished study
rooms. Regional conference
was also held here and we
hope that all the Region I
brothers had as great of a time
as we did. As always our 67th
annual Pirates Dance was held
on April 27th and provided a
memorable experience for all.
ILLINOIS
Delta Chi and Alpha
Gamma Rho co-hosted a
party where three different
bands played and 3000 or
more people attended.
IOWA
Some of the events that
highlighted our late spring
were Greek Week, Alumni
Weekend, and Parents’ Weekend. All were successes. First
of all, Greek Week was probably the year ’s crowning
achievement. This year the
chapter decided to go all out.
We worked hard on all the aspects of the week. In the end
we came out with an overall
first place finish! Quite an
achievement. We were also
lucky to be paired with two
other chapters who shared our
enthusiasm. Our pairing had
the first and second place overall finishes for men’s chapters,
and the first place for women’s.
Next, we had a successful
parent’s weekend. Some of
our active parents did a lot
over this weekend to
strengthen our still new parents’ club. We look forward to
them being a strong and positive influence in the future.
Also, with our spring associate member classes totaling
eight new initiates, it was nice
for their parents to see more of
the chapter and meet people.
The other event of the semester was alumni weekend. We
played golf, shared stories,
and planned for the future of
the chapter. One thing that
stood out was our developing
scholarship fund. Some of our
alumni are working to start a
substantial fund for incoming
freshman scholarships.
Also, over the summer we
are having recruitment events
all over the Midwest, and hope
after this past year’s success,
formal recruitment will be very
solid. We have members attending the Henry M. Jackson
Leadership College, members
working as Formal Recruitment week counselors, and Interfraternity Council leaders.
JACKSONVILLE STATE
We won the Greek All Sports
Trophy by winning the final
event, the Intramural Softball
Tournament. We also held our
spring formal, “The Manners’
Ball”. The event is held to honor
Lee Manners who was our local chapter founder. It was a
very successful evening. We are
also making plans to remodel
our house during the summer.
KANSAS CITY
We have been making great
strides in becoming the best fraternity on campus. Perhaps the
biggest achievement was initiating Bobby Watson on April
8th. Watson is a Grammy award
winning jazz saxophonist.
In addition to this, we also
have the highest men’s GPA.
Our 3.16 also beat the average
UMKC student and the national
all fraternity average.
On May 12th we celebrated
being the oldest chapter on campus with our 45th anniversary.
The activities included a golf
tournament and a dinner. This
event was a big hit; many
alumni, including some of the
Bounders, the local fraternity
that became Delta Chi, were involved in this event. This, however, is not the only event that
∆X Quarterly Summer/Fall 2001 7
coordinated the event. Also in
attendance were “AA” Bill
Williams, “CC” Michael
Woolbright, Regent Steve
Bossart and Monte Johnson.
There was an excellent turnout
from 14 of the Region’s chapters.

has had immense alumni support, another big event for the
alumni is the Grizzbowl. This is
an annual football game held on
Superbowl Sunday between the
actives and alumni. This year
the actives beat the alumni four
touchdowns to one.
KANSAS STATE
We had our annual Mother’s
Day banquet and auction at the
house, raising over $2,800.
Members also participated in
earthball, our philanthropy
with Kappa Kappa Gamma.
We also had our first ever
alumni weekend. Included in
this weekend’s events were the
Sigma Class initiation, the Kansas State football spring game,
the Don Edward Memorial
Golf tournament and an
alumni/brotherhood banquet.
Also, as a part of the weekend,
we inducted the Founding Father class of the newly established Order of the Purple
Martlet. The Order was created
to honor and recognize alumni
who have distinguished themselves through their tireless efforts on behalf of the Chapter.
Founding Brothers were
Craig Shove ’65, Ed Redhair
’65, Tom Hunter ’66, Bill
Young ’66, Tom Haney ’67,
Jan Rayl ’67, Mike Dichiser
’92, and Aaron Otto ’94. The
Order members will nomi8 ∆X Quarterly Summer/Fall 2001
nate new members as appropriate and each new member
will be recognized with a
purple martlet lapel pin,
plaque and a photo in the formal room of our house.
Socially we kept busy as
well, holding functions with
Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Xi
Delta, Kappa Delta, Kappa Alpha Theta and Alpha Delta Pi.
We also had two date parties,
one of which was our Hawaiian-theme Del Tiki party in May.
Our softball team made the
play-offs, and our 3-on-3 basketball and horseshoes teams made
the finals. We had three members participate in collegiate athletics. Kevin Sloop and Jacob
Eisenbie participated in the
National Collegiate Wrestling
Championships in Dallas where
Jacob achieved All-American
status. Travis Horchem had an
outstanding spring game for the
K-State football team, making
second string.
KENT STATE
Congratulations to Justin
Donnelly for his election to the
position of Judicial Affairs on
our campus’ IFC board. Joshua
Brunger, one of our seniors whose
major is music education, held his
final trombone concert solo.
We hosted the Region VI
Leadership Conference. Daniel
Russell “A”, planned and
We began the semester by
taking home first place in the
Song Fest competition during
Greek Week. Along with Song
Fest, we have also received one
of the highest GPA and assessment ratings among fraternities
on campus. Our team also finished first among fraternities in
Tri-Delta’s annual “Triple Play”
softball tournament.
Socially we have kept busy
with parties with Chi Omega,
Delta Gamma, Delta Zeta,
Kappa Alpha Theta, and
Kappa Kappa Gamma sororities. Our yearly “Lost
Memory” bus trip also turned
out to be an excellent event.
We distributed three-point flyers at all home basketball
games to support “Coaches vs.
Cancer”, which we have
adopted from the American
Cancer Society. We also participated in LSU’s “Raking the
Lakes” in an effort to protect
our campus. We are anxious to
see the improvements to our
kitchen and dining areas because the university is completely remodeling this part of
our house. For more information about the LSU chapter
please visit http://www.

LONG BEACH
We have been improving
scholastically and this year was
no exception as we placed
seven men on the President’s
List with 4.0’s, a new high for
us. The annual Family Day was
a success with many of our
brothers and their families in
town for the event. It was
coupled with the school’s Homecoming celebration and basketball
game. This has evolved into a successful combination of Delta Chi
and Long Beach State excitement.
We have a new position in the fraternity, Webmaster! Check out his
newest work at www.deltachi
longbeach.com for an assortment
of pictures and updates.
LOUISIANA TECH
In rush, we pulled in nine
guys in the fall with a 100% retention rate and, for spring,
two associates. We have also
participated in several community projects that gained us recognition in the community.
Along with all our hard work
we have also had a blast this
year with parties, exchanges,
and road trips. Our social
events have been hitting a high
note this past year.
MISSISSIPPI STATE
In January, we sent six
brothers to the Region VIII
Leadership Conference at
Embry-Riddle and they came
back with great ideas which we
have already begun to initiate.
The weekend after spring
break saw our spring alumni
event called Wet ‘N’ Wild during super bulldog weekend.
We had a great turnout of
alumni, family, and friends. We
enjoyed a giant crawfish boil,
sand volleyball, and remembrances of old times.
We then had our annual
spring formal in New Orleans.
Our White Carnation Ball was
a great time to get together and
enjoy a night on the town in the
historic French Quarter. “A”
Ray Smith was named our
“Active of the Year” and
Patrick Launy was named
“Alumnus of the Year.”
We ended the spring with
our first Powder Puff Flag Football Game between Chi Omega
and Phi Mu where we raised
over $2,500 dollars for the
Sheriff’s Girls and Boys Ranch
in Columbus, Mississippi. Although the Chi Omegas were
victorious in the game, we were
all successful in our efforts for
our philanthropy.
MINNESOTA
Paired with Delta Gamma
and FarmHouse in the annual
Spring Jam festivities held by
the university, we joined together to have an incredible
week. Our softball and ultimate frisbee teams played well
and our band was the highlight
of the afternoon.
May also witnessed our annual heartbreaker competition
and Duluth Trek. The entire
week was exciting and fun-filled.
From interviews to karaoke to a
little bike riding there is something for everyone. The level of
participation demonstrated by
everyone was great.
The highlight of the semester
was definitely our Founders’/
Parents’ Day event. The day’s
events began with house tours
and campus tours and culminated with a pig roast and social time. It was great to see the
alumni return for this event,
but it was equally exciting to
demonstrate what Delta Chi
means to us in front of our parents. It is sure to become an annual event at the chapter.
MONTCLAIR
We are proud to boast our
eleventh Greek Week victory in
the twelve years of our existence. Tim Fox, a member of the
most recent Psi class, placed first
in the first event. There was no
turning back from there. We remained in first place for the remainder of Greek Week. We also
dethroned the Greek Week talent show champions with our
rendition of Willy Wonka’s
Umpa Lumpa song as our
theme. The chapter as a whole
has set a standard of being the
best fraternity on campus. “A”
James McGowan was an inspiration to all the newcomers in
showing what it takes to excel.
On the intramural scene, we
did well in both basketball and
soccer. With the leadership of
B.G. Daniel, we won the intramural whiffleball championship.
Alan Harrison, Robert Baxter,
and Johnny Vacca participated in
our feed the homeless event by
providing the homeless of New
York City with peanut butter and
jelly sandwiches.
NEW HAVEN
We celebrated our 20th anniversary by hosting the Region
VII Leadership Conference. We
would like to thank the other
chapters and alumni who attended this special event. Attending chapters/colony include Cornell, Hobart, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Montclair, Gorham , Bryant, Rutgers,
Rowan and Stony Brook.
NORTH CAROLINA
STATE
We ripped the slopes of
Winterplace, West Virginia in
February. In April we sponsored our annual alumni golf
tournament. Our members
raised money for the March of
Dimes during the spring. The
brothers have made improvements in landscaping to our
property, and rooms in our
chapter house will be remodeled over the summer. NCSU
alumni are beginning to get
ready for Homecoming and
Founders’ Day events in the
fall. Please contact Jimmy
Destephens “E” at jbdestep
@unity.ncsu.edu for information on upcoming events.
NORTHEAST MISSOURI
Our 25th Anniversary of
colonization was a great success. At our ABT meeting and
banquet we had Founding Fathers Scott Patterson, past
“AA” Larry Nothnagel, and
John Holke in attendance as
well as 85 other brothers and
guests. Our guest speaker,
David Clithero, ’83, spoke of
new hope and direction for the
chapter, as our ABT put together a joint venture with the
chapter and our alumni to begin plans for a new house. Major house improvements have
been completed this semester
and will continue over the summer. These include a remodeled
kitchen and bathroom and carpeting the upstairs area, as well
as a new layout for the main living room and lounge area.
We are also officially out of
debt with Delta Chi and stand
at 36 active members. Please
help and do your part to support your chapter and donate
time, money, or support to our
efforts in getting a new house.
NORTHWESTERN
Our growth in numbers and
strength continued this quarter
with the initiation of 12 members and saw three of our own
elected to executive committee
positions on IFC. Former “A”
Phil Ordway, was elected to IFC
president, James Foster, former
“F” was elected vice president
of public relations and Ayan
Bagchi was elected vice president of programming.
We have continued our efforts in philanthropy by holding a sand castle building tournament on the beach of Lake
Michigan. The contest was
judged by Northwestern art
professors and other faculty.
We’re also looking forward to
our traditional Earthball philanthropy in the fall.
We added to our alumni programming and invited all of our
brothers to our first spring
alumni/chapter softball game
and barbecue on April 29th. All
who attended had a great time,
and hopefully this event will be
continued in the future.
NORTHERN ARIZONA
We began the spring with
the largest pledge class on campus and initiated six men. Last
fall brought in our largest
pledge class ever with 29 initiates. Along with bringing in
our new members, several
modifications to the house
have been made. Not only was
the entire house recarpeted
and repainted, we were also
able to construct a new back
fence that a record year of
snow was able to wear down.
We were among the top fraternities on campus with total
philanthropy hours. Roughly
ten of our actives were also little
league basketball coaches with
one team even taking first place.
The IFC/Panhellenic put on the
annual “Greek Week” activities
in April. We basically cleaned
house in nearly all the events
with our partners, the women
of Gamma Phi Beta and the
men of Alpha Tau Omega.
About 12 men were invited
into the Order of Omega.
MONTEVALLO
Delta Chi claims Top Campus Leadership Positions! On
March 21, 2001, three brothers
were elected to SGA executive
offices. Amos Snead ’02 was
elected President, Jason Britt
’02 was elected Treasurer, and
J.B. Hutchison ’02 was elected
University Programs Coordinator. The chapter also won the
IFC Presidency for the second
straight year with Alex Igou ’03
currently holding the position.

We also have to mention our
spring formal “Del Tiki.” We
spent an amazing four-day weekend in Lake Havasu. Of course
most of the time was spent on the
two 56-foot houseboats.
NORTHERN ILLINOIS
Our Housing Corporation
has continued to work with our
members and our ABT to make
plans for kitchen renovations
and adding a dining room. Due
to the number living in next
year, we will have approximately $20,000 to put towards
these housing renovations. This
spring we also initiated five
men. Finally, we had a successful formal in Iowa City and
would like to thank the Iowa
brothers for showing our members their wonderful house.
We did well in Delta
Gamma’s Anchor Splash competition, pairing up with the ladies of Sigma Sigma Sigma. We
also participated in Sigma Phi
Epsilon’s Tugs competition.
This was the first year that we
sponsored a child for the MakeA-Wish Foundation, helping to
send a local child with a terminal kidney disease to Walt
Disney World with his family.
We also went around the community this spring to Trick-orTreat for canned goods to donate to the DeKalb Food Pantry,
gathering hundreds of pounds
of canned and dry goods for the
needy. Finally, we held the First
Annual Delta Chi for a Day
Auction. In this fundraiser, we
auctioned off members to perform chores for other students
in exchange for a winning bid.
NORTHERN IOWA
We started out this semester by continuing to shovel
sidewalks for the elderly and
the handicapped people in Cedar Valley. We also held a
party/auction where we raised
money for the Cedar Valley
Hospice House.
Once the weather was a
little warmer, we participated
in the first annual Spring Fling
where we took home first prize
in the house decorating competition along with the help of
the Alpha Phis and Pikes. Later
in the spring we competed in
Greek Week. We put in a good
showing and received second
place in overall participation.
The spring highlight was our
annual formal held on March
31st. We had over 50 alumni,
actives and guests in attendance. This was the prelude to
our Founders’ Day celebration
on April 3rd in which we celebrated our 31st year. The ABT
and Housing Corporation,
along with the actives, have
been working hard at making
improvements to the house.
OHIO STATE
Many members rallied together to support a worthy
cause in Kappa Delta’s annual
hockey tournament philanthropy, “Slapshot.” Our team
had fun and surpassed expectations by making it to the finals. Delta Chi is sponsoring
an Ultimate Frisbee tournament, headed by chairman
Sam Rosen. All sororities can
and are encouraged to enter
teams and provide funds for
the “Make A Wish Foundation.” The rest of our chapter
has been assigned to coach designated sorority teams, and we
are looking forward to another
fun event before summer that
is also for a worthy cause.
OLD DOMINION
We are currently rebuilding
and have some great new guys
here. The chapter is in high spirits and ready to move forward.
The first Delta Chi Clothing
Drive was a huge success.
Thanks to everyone who helped
keep the less fortunate in Norfolk warm during the winter.
PENN STATE
Recently, some of our brothers spent grueling days and
nights collecting money for kids
with cancer in coordination
with Dance Marathon – not
only a student-led philanthropy,
but the biggest student-led philanthropy in the world. Teamed
up with a sorority and led by
Milan Hemrajani ’02 and John
Chan ’02, we spent long hours
on the cold streets ranging from
Fairfax, Virginia to Newton,
Massachusetts canning and
counting all change received. In
total, we received over $80,000
dollars from outside contributors including businesses,
friends, family and others.
We also enjoyed Parents’
Weekend and Spring Week.
Both were astounding. Parents
came and dined at the second
largest fraternity house on the
campus while brothers served
their families chef prepared
meals. Spring Week included
our teaming up with Kappa
Delta for four days of fun.
PURDUE
Our #1 softball team came
in first place on the entire campus. Once again we had a successful Mom’s Weekend with
over 100 parents in attendance
on April 7th for the annual
event. The 44th Grand Prix
Race, a kart race at Purdue,
North Carolina State undergraduates and alumni during the Alumni Golf Tournament Weekend.
10 ∆X Quarterly Summer/Fall 2001
was held April 21st. Adam
Kasick and Nick Watt participated in the race. Adam was
knocked out of first place with
mechanical problems that led
to him leaving the race, and
Nick took home the second
place trophy with an aggressive comeback from a 7th place
start. We were paired with the
women of Zeta Tau Alpha for
the week of Grand Prix. Our
philanthropy Ride for Life,
benefiting the Mary Mullenix
Hackett Foundation for Breast
Cancer Research, was held
April 10th through 12th. Our
fundraising efforts were able to
donate over $1,000 to the Research Center despite the thunderstorms and high winds that
blew through campus. We are
planning for Homecoming to
be bigger than ever this year so
we can get a buzz going for our
75th anniversary in the summer of 2002. If there are any
alumni planning on attending
the Homecoming game versus
Northwestern on October 27th,
please contact our “E” at

RENO
In April we held our first
officer transition retreat. The
retreat was put on by local ABT
members Shawn Pearson,
Bobbie Turner, and Ron Maxwell, with the valuable assistance of Regent Jeff Albright.
The goal of the retreat was to
prepare newly elected officers
for the requirements of their
offices. To that end, outgoing
officers turned over their notebooks and met with their incoming counterparts. Additionally, the outgoing and incoming officers engaged in
team building exercises and
planned out all of their duties
and obligations on a master
calendar for the next semester.
Finally, Rich Whitney, the
University’s Greek Leadership
Coordinator, presented the
group with recruitment training. With plenty of coffee and
cookies to go around, all
agreed that the retreat was a
great way to hand over the
reigns to the new officers.
RUTGERS
There is arguably no single
event that unites the Rutgers
Greek and New Brunswick
communities than the RU
Dance Marathon, the largest
student-run philanthropic endeavor in the state. It is held to
benefit the Institute for Children with Cancer and Blood
Disorders. The Dance Marathon consists of a series of charity events such as roadside canning in New Brunswick as well
as pancake breakfasts all building up to the main event: the
32-hour Marathon. Our contributions included brothers and
associates who were among
the 500 students volunteering as Security and Moralers
(who are responsible for
keeping the dancers psyched
and comfortable throughout
the Marathon), as well as
raising over $2,000 for the
Institute. Delta Chi also took
2nd Place in the Dance Marathon Banner Competition,
the best of any fraternity that
entered, thanks to the fine
efforts of the spring associate
class. All together over
$71,000 was raised in what
has become one of the proudest traditions at Rutgers.
We are also in the process of
moving to a larger house, for
we are becoming one of the
largest fraternities on campus.
This year at Regional Conference we were unanimously
voted to hold the next year’s
Conference and hope to make
it one of the largest and most
successful events ever.
STEPHEN F. AUSTIN
COLONY
This spring we focused on
strengthening our bond and
working hard on our grades.
Social events consisted of an
All-Greek St. Patrick’s Party in
which we had our biggest turn
out ever. Other events included
a grand slam Grab-a-Date
where we barbecued and
played softball in the sun. The
most memorable event was the
White Carnation Ball held at
the Fredonia Hotel, where we
danced the night away. The
brothers are extremely proud
of Joe Ham, who took runner up
in Mr. Alpha Chi Omega. We
also had our third annual Delta
Disco with DZ and a Delta Chi/
Chi Omega Woodstock with an
outdoor concert and plenty of
mud slinging.
We ended the semester by
initiating our spring class. The
fraternity also wants to thank
our “BB”, Dr. Gary Mayer for
his hard work and determination in helping us through
good and bad times. We are
looking forward to a well-deserved summer while the executive board tries to work
out concerns of the fraternity,
and plan a well-organized
rush for next fall.
TARLETON
At this year’s Special Olympics, we had members running
the following events: Softball,
Demolition, and the Obstacle
Course. The Kappa Delta Chi
Sorority teamed up with us in
helping with the Obstacle
Course. Also in March, we participated in “The Big Event”, a
community service project in
which groups and organizations work to improve the
community. In April, we
teamed up with Alpha Gamma
Delta and sponsored an Easter
Egg Hunt for the Stephenville
Foster Home. Along with the
hunt we had a cookout, and
played a few games of kick ball
with the foster home children.
Also in April, we hosted Del
Tiki, an alumni/active chapter
volleyball tournament, the last
one at the house on Jones Street.
Del Tiki had a great turnout
with seven teams participating
in the tournament. We also had
alumni from other chapters participating in the daylong festivities at the house. The winners
of the tournament were Nathan
Dix, Kyle Kelso, Augustine
Ulloa, and Holly Good.
TEXAS
For the first time ever, we
boasted two extremely successful alumni events. In the
past, alumni events have been
centered around the fall and
Texas football games, however,
our alumni have proven that
they don’t need an excuse to
get together and socialize. In
late March, we hosted our 3rd
Annual Spring Alumni Event
Northern Arizona Chapter enjoys Lake Havasu.
where alumni from all over the
country gathered to enjoy a fun
filled weekend with their brothers and families. The weekend
raised over $2000 for our Housing Corp, and we can’t thank
the alumni enough for their
commitment to their Fraternity.
In April we hosted our first
ever 50’s Reunion. Several 50’s
era alumni gathered in Austin
to catch up with brothers who
they hadn’t seen in years, as
well as meet the current chapter. We enjoyed hearing stories
of the “old days” and the
alumni enjoyed refreshing
themselves on the Ritual as well
as taking a tour of the campus
that has changed so much since
they were in school. In the future, we plan to host a 40’s as
well as 50’s reunion.
We can’t thank our alumni
enough for the positive support that they have given us,
and we are excited about
what the future holds as our
alumni program continues to
reach new levels.
TEXAS A&M
We participated in “The Big
Event”, a university wide philanthropy event that benefits
the Bryan-College Station area.
During this event we went to
the homes of the elderly and
the less fortunate residents of
the community and helped
them with jobs around their
homes. This gave our brothers
a good opportunity to give
back to the community.
We have also had an incredible social calendar, one event
was our annual Delta Chi
Downs Date Party, where we
take a trip down to the Sam
Houston Race Track. We also
held our Un-Fashionably Loud
Crush Party. This was one of
the best crush parties that our
chapter has had in years. Our
intramural teams are continuing the Delta Chi tradition of
athletic excellence. We are
well on our way to another
12th Man cup with our championship in flag football and
our top four finishes in soccer, softball and basketball.
TRI-STATE
We’d like to begin by congratulating Erik Ripley ’01
who was honored by receiving
the Borelli Family Leadership
Award With Distinction. Also,
due to strong efforts made in
rush, we have been able to initiate a total of 13 men as well
as three fathers this year. This
achievement pushes our total
active membership to 39.
What’s more, for the third consecutive semester, we’ve led all
other Greeks on campus in academics, which was made possible by a G.P.A. of 3.22. We
also have a strong grasp on campus leadership. In fact, three out
of the four Student Senate Executive Board members are
Delta Chis. Zach West ’01,
Chad Walters ’02, and Chris
Besler ’03, hold the positions
of President, Vice-President,
and Secretary, respectively.
For the third straight year,
we’ve taken the basketball intramural championship trophy. With a very successful
Alumni Weekend, a number of
philanthropy events (including
highway cleanup and a bike-athon which raised 300+ items of
food for a homeless shelter), and
a couple of retention activities
(namely paint-balling and a canoe trip during a lightning
storm), we’ve had a year that
will not be soon forgotten.

Martin Holmquist ’02 has
won the plaque for highest
GPA the last three semesters.
Our membership stands at
70. Delta Chi has continued
supporting and participating
in non-Greek events. We
have loved being involved
with Friendship Games, put
on by the Multicultural Office, for the past three years.
We have five senators on the
UNLV campus: DJ Fauske,
Vice
President,
Luke
Bowland, RJ Peltyn (engineering), Ken Oaki (student
development) and Aaron
Dunning (education). In philanthropy we have raised
over $52,000 this year. Our
philanthropy chair, Bill
Becker, did a marvelous job,
contributing efforts that
reached above and beyond
anyone’s expectations.
In the intramurals annual 5on-5 basketball tournament,
Delta Chi reached the finals.
VIRGINIA
COMMONWEALTH
After coming within inches
of losing our charter, we had a
serious re-assessment of our
goals as brothers. We changed
nearly everything for the better and our improvements are
quite noticeable. We are happy
to announce that on July 1st,
we will once again be in good
standing with Delta Chi, and
will be off of probation.
We have placed ourselves in
the spotlight of Greek life on
campus. We received the Most
Improved Chapter Award
from our University. Also
Mike Araj, “A”, received the
Greek Man of the Year award
from the University. We have
the maximum number of
brothers allowed on the IFC
Executive Board. Mathew
Braydich is the Treasurer for
IFC, and Shary Firouzabadian
is the Secretary, while Jonathan
Foster is the Pledge-Educator.
We would also like to congratulate Shary for his recent induction as the Greek Counsel President and Ted Leonard as the
Greek Counsel Vice President.
We would also like to thank
Adam Barnett and Jason
Hodnett for presenting our
new project, the MVP (Mentors
against Violence Prevention)
program at the Region IX conference at West Chester U. Also
at the conference, Greg
Lawrence was elected Regional Philanthropic Coordinator, and Adam Barnett was
nominated for a position on the
housing finance committee.
We would like to congratulate Mike Araj and Shary
Firouzabadian for their induction into the Order of Omega.
Matthew Busch was inducted
as the Alpha Sigma Alpha’s
Phoenix Man and also took the
title of Mr. Greek VCU from our
very own Tee Daniel. Matthew
Braydich won the Big Man on
Campus Award as well.
Lastly, we would like to thank
our hard working “BB” Marc
Berger and the rest the ABT.
VIRGINIA TECH
Jason Kies has recently
been accepted into the Order of
Omega for his outstanding
academic achievements. Drew
Frevert, President of Key Program and SGA Senator, was a
very inspiring force on campus
this year. Brian Cade our previous “A” was voted as Delta
Chi Man of the Year. Patrick
Wachendorf won our Sir Edward Coke Award, had an
outstanding year as IFC president, and was a finalist for the
Greek Man of the Year. Graduating senior, Bryan Drowos,
finished up a great year as Student Government Association’s Chief of Staff. Undergraduates in the School of Business elected Matt Harlin and
Jeff Ervick as Student Senator
Representatives.
Justin
Coleman and Jeff Ervick were
nominated to the IFC executive
board as Assistant Athletic
Chair and Public Relations Officer respectively. Matt Harlin
has also been elected to represent our chapter in the Homecoming Court this fall.
This year at Greek Awards
we won the Philanthropy
Award, Philanthropy Participation Award and, for the 5th
year in a row, the Social
Award. We also received Honorable Mention for Membership Development, IFC Soccer
Tournament, IFC Sportsmanship, and 2000 Blood Drive.
Our chapter also was a finalist for the Alumni Association
Academy of Excellence.
This year’s athletics have
been quite outstanding. Our
softball team place 2nd in the
IFC Tournament, and 1st in the
Intramural Tournament.
Parker Consaul led our soccer
team to 1 st place in the IFC
Tournament. Our associates
also had a great semester. At
Delta Zeta’s Classic philanthropy event, they came away
with 1st place Spirit Award, 2nd
place Banner Award, and 2nd
place overall. Plus their hard
work paid off as they also
placed 2nd overall at this year’s
Greek Week competitions.
With all of their hard work this
semester we were all pleased
to see them get initiated. We
would like to thank all the
alumni who participated in
our Alumni Golf Tournament.
WASHINGTON STATE
Tarleton’s Del Tiki Volleyball Tournament.
12 ∆X Quarterly Summer/Fall 2001
This year we led the University with formal and informal
rush. We also made a great
showing at the all-Greek
awards, receiving: outstanding
alumni relations, outstanding
new member education, outstanding intramurals program,
and outstanding programming.
The house is near capacity and
we are looking to fill it this fall.
WEST VIRGINIA COLONY
Our first philanthropy as a
group was a major success.
Out of nine sororities, seven of
them participated in the Sumo
Slam. The person who benefited from our philanthropy
was Brian Smith, a WVU student who was burned very
badly in a house fire earlier
this semester. He was asleep
when his house caught fire late
one night. He woke up and ran
to the outside. When he realized that his roommate was
still in the house, he ran back
in to try to save him. He suffered major burns on all of his
body and was hospitalized for
several months. We decided as
a group to start the Brian
Smith Fund to help out with
the bills. We were able to contribute $500 to the family.
This is only a small dent in
the total but we plan to do
other things in the future to
support this brave student.
The winner of the event was
Alpha Phi, second place was
Delta Gamma, and third
went to Alpha Xi Delta.
WESTERN MICHIGAN
We initiated 14 men into the
bond, putting our membership
at 30 for fall. Our GPA remained
in the top three for fraternities.
In March, we held our annual Buy-a-DChi and raised
over $400 for The American
Cancer Society. We were also
successful in getting people
to donate blood to The
American Red Cross. As a
chapter, we were very competitive in Greek-organized
philanthropic events such as
tug-of-wars, softball, golf,
hockey, and volleyball tournaments, to name a few. We
also did very well in this
year ’s Greek Week activities.
At the awards ceremony we
took home the Stone Archer
Award for our outstanding
leadership and brotherhood.
This year ’s formal was a
great way to end a successful year. It was held in late
March on the coast of Lake
Michigan and was a great
way to see all of the brothers
and their beautiful dates together one last time before
the end of the school year.
