Giving Back
This month was a busy month for our philanthropy chairmen. In October, we hosted a 5k
color run with Delta Zeta to benefit the Starkey Hearing Foundation, and we also paired up with
Alpha Phi for the 3rd annual Greek Open
golf tournament that contributes to
women’s heart health research. We had a
good showing of Brothers at two other
large philanthropies on campus: the
Theta & Fiji Cook-off that supports
Tippecanoe County’s
CASA program as well
as the Purdue Students
Against Alzheimer’s
“Score for a Cure” flag
football tournament to
fund Alzheimer’s
research. We’re proud
that our guys enjoy
giving back to our
community, and we
aim to keep this high
precedent for many
more months to come!

October Break
For our October break, Indiana Delta makes it a tradition of having a good portion of the
Chapter travel to the same location. This year was no different with our long Brotherhood
weekend held in Gatlinburg, Tennessee amongst the beautiful Smokey Mountains! Over 60
Brothers made their way down to Gatlinburg and booked a
couple massive luxury cabins that were complete with
pools, hot tubs, game rooms, large bedrooms, and
gorgeous views. While we were able to live like kings in
the middle of the woods, a lot of the Brothers took the
time to go out and explore the surrounding parks and
attractions in the city, and even run into a few other
Purdue students! Being in
Tennessee in the middle of
October made for some
gorgeous scenery that made
it hard to leave after 3 days,
but the boys sure made their
long weekend a worthwhile
trip!
Sunday Dinners with Chef Matt
A new tradition has started at 1307 that’ll make your mouth water! One of our very own,
Matt Arnieri (Gamma Zeta), has taken it upon himself to make dinner for the Brotherhood on
Sunday nights at the Chapter house. For just a few bucks each week, the Brothers can come
downstairs to get homemade classics like Chicken Parmesan with angel hair pasta and Chicken
Vesuvio! Matt is no stranger to the kitchen though. Before he took on the Chapter’s culinary
position, Matt had competed in (and won!) several national cooking competitions while in high
school, so we’re getting spoiled with his talented cooking skills! He’s currently in the School of
Hospitality and Tourism Management where he wants to take his passion for cooking and open
his own restaurant after he graduates. This is a tradition that not many other Chapters can say
they have, and all our guys truly enjoy getting together again at the dinner table one last time
before the school week starts.

Fall Formal in Louisville
This year’s formal was definitely the first of its kind for Indiana Delta: we went to the
same location two years in a row and stayed for the entire weekend! The two-day formal was
something we haven’t tried before, but it sure seems like
the Brothers had a blast and are willing to try it again.
Brothers could enjoy the bar scene on Friday night, and
on Saturday, guys either explored the city, took whiskey
tours at local distilleries, went on bar crawls with beerbikes, or just relaxed in the beautiful Galt House Hotel
before getting ready for the formal festivities that night.
With over 100 Brothers in attendance, we undoubtedly
took over the city of
Louisville for the
weekend and had a
great time doing it!
We hope you enjoyed this month’s edition of our Alumni Newsletter! As always we encourage
