CAMPUS FEATURETTES

The chapter has been a strong advocatefor giving back to the community in re-cent years. We have performed manyhours of community service throughoutthe community, but we have risen to theoccasion twice for the AIDS Foundationwhen it was in need of our help. Close tohalf the chapter volunteered for the AIDSWalk and Festival of Life, two fundraisersof the AIDS Foundation. The Foundationwas extremely welcoming when the broth-ers arrived and very appreciative whenthe brothers finished their duties. We wereinspired by how many people from theTucson community showed up and par-ticipated in the AIDS walk. Although thebrothers did not walk for the cause, theywere very important to the success of theevent. With strong numbers, we helpedwith the setup and security and served asguides to direct people to their properdestination. While the AIDS Walk wasvery inspiring, nothing was as rousing andhumbling as the Festival of Life, afundraiser that sends all proceeds to theAids Foundation in an effort to find a cure

We went to a strip mall andcanned to raise money to get theball rolling. Later this semesterwe will be working the actualmini dance-a-thon, for which wesigned up to provide securityand to dance.

In Berkeley, California, the long historyof Delta Chi has been revived as, onceagain, the Abracadabra Chapter obtainedits charter. On October 11th, 2003, the SaintFrancis Hotel in San Francisco was gracedwith the presence of 52 active membersand numerous prominent alumni celebrat-ing the rebirth of Abra. The charter waspresented with the assistance of our Re-gent, Chad Wollett, along with the “CC”Steve Bossart, and Executive Director RayGalbreth. Since 2001, when Abra was re-instated as a colony, the brothers have suc-cessfully grown to a sixty man force oncampus, surpassing nearly all the otherhouses in academics, philanthropy, IMsports, representation in student govern-ment, social activities, and overall popu-larity. The charter seals them into a posi-tion of strength and respectability in theentire UC Berkeley Greek system.

Last semester, we performedseveral different kinds of com-munity service. We were invitedto participate in a water stop forthe Erie Marathon on the pen-insula. The runners ran 26 milesand passed our stop twice. Therunners appreciated our ser-vices a lot, since we were onlyone of eight water stops thatshowed up out of 13. A fewweeks later we took a full dayout of our schedules and wentto downtown Erie, Pennsylva-nia to lend our services to theErie Ladies’ Club. We helpedmove furniture, while the ladiesdecorated the rooms of their la-dies’ clubhouse, which is a man-sion. Then the next week we re-turned and worked as security

for AIDS. The members found it very overwhelming to see the masses of people inattendance at the silent auction. Dressed in formal attire and wearing their activebadges proudly, members guided attendees to their proper destinations, sold tickets,and greeted people at the door. The members in attendance at both functions weregiven much praise for their willingness and eagerness to give back to the community,and the Arizona Chapter itself was thanked for being such a great organization filledwith standup gentlemen.

We have remained active in the Greekcommunity and are continuing to reachout to other organizations. On February22nd we held the 2nd annual CaliforniaKickball Philanthropy to benefit theAmerican Cancer Society. With elevenchapters participating from the GreekCommunity, we were able to raise over$200 for this worthy cause. The event washeld at the Perry Field House on campus.

We recently celebrated our Third An-nual Parents’ Weekend. It is an event thathas grown over the past three years, andthis year had the best turnout yet, with 150people attending. The weekend startedout with a daytime barbecue at the frater-nity house that allowed the parents andactives to mingle with each other. Thatevening we held a formal dinner at the CliffsHotel and Restaurant, which overlooks thePacific Ocean. The event was a huge suc-cess, allowing the parents to see the broth-erhood and friendships that our fraternityhas created. Everyone enjoyed the eveningand is looking forward to next year’s event.

Recently we were able to reorganizeone of the greatest philanthropies on cam-pus. MudFest, a six-on-six mud volley-ball tournament, is open to fraternities andsororities to compete and get dirty whilesupporting a great cause. The tournamentwas removed from the campus in 1997,shortly before Delta Chi left campus.When the original chapter left, MudFestwas one of the most widely participated-inphilanthropy events on campus. Alongwith the aid of the Iowa and Kansas Chap-ters, we will be able to bring back thiswonderful event while contributing to agreat cause, The American Cancer Society.The tentative date is currently set for Sep-tember 11th, shortly after school begins inthe fall.

This semester we have found ourselves heavily involved in philanthropy events.At the end of the fall semester we raised money for the Juvenile Diabetes ResearchFoundation’s “Walk to Cure Diabetes,” sponsoring Brent Gilbert, ’06, who has thedisease. Soon after, we volunteered our services by helping out at the American HeartWalk. We are now looking forward to our second year of involvement with the PittCounty Special Olympics, an event that has proven to be mutually beneficial to ourbrotherhood and the community.

Every year SUNY Fredonia has its annual Greek Week, which challenges the Greeks tocompete against one another for the Greek Cup. Interfraternity Council, headed by BillKalish, organized the whole event. Delta Chi always hear the moans and groans of all theother Greeks when we show up ready to win and, in fact, did win the Greek Cup for thethird consecutive time. Headed by excellent performances by Josh Fadale and Matt Fort,Delta Chi dominated events such as darts and a scavenger hunt. The culmination of theevent, which symbolized the strength of our brotherhood, was the tug-of-war where wedefeated all challengers. This spring we anticipate another Greek Week victory.

In late February we organized afundraiser benefiting United CerebralPalsy. Our chapter as well as ouralumni all came together to raisemoney for this worthy cause, and itwas a great way for the active broth-ers and alumni to work together inDelta Chi brotherhood. We plan tomake this an annual event because itwas so successful, especially due tohelp from three of our alumni: MattPonce, Curt Dupill and Will Putnam.

We’ve been planning a house reno-vation for some time now. The plan isin place, and we are excited to say thatthe house will be closing down after thespring semester for the renovation. Ouractives are also proud of their involve-ment with this project. During the fund-raising for the new restoration, one hun-dred percent of our actives donated tothe fund. Some chose to give a one-timedonation, while others chose a monthlypayment plan over the next few years.We are truly thankful for the support ofso many of our alumni. To help out, wealso created a House Planning Commit-tee, which is overseen by our vice presi-dent. This committee has met weekly todiscuss how changes to the proposedarchitectural layout of the house canbest suit our members. We are proudof our involvement in this restorationproject and the investment in the IllinoisChapter for years to come.

KANSAS Housemother Retires After 19 Years On May 1, 2004 our chapter celebrated19 years of dedication from our house-mother Lillian Barker. Mom Barkerstepped down after serving as thechapter’s housemother for the past nine-teen years, longer than any other frater-nity or sorority housemother on campus.The event brought the return of twentyyears of alumni to the Adams AlumniCenter on a Saturday afternoon to cel-ebrate in Mom Barker’s honor. Severalalumni spoke and shared memories fromthe days when they were active mem-bers in the chapter. The event was a fit-ting end to an amazing twenty years ofcommitment. Mom Barker was given anumber of gifts, adding to the excitementshared by everyone present. Also in at-tendance was Ruth Hiss, the new house-mother hand-selected by Mom Barkerherself. Mrs. Hiss has had three sonswho have all been members of the chap-ter: Drew Hiss, ’86, Ben Hiss, ’91, andJon Hiss, ’94. The event was an unfor-gettable day for Mom Barker, and theturnout spoke to just how special shetruly is to this chapter.

In sharing her memories, Mom said thatwhat stands out most to her is the uniquetradition of courtesy and respect the menof Delta Chi have shown her. Mom re-called a conversation this past winter withone of the fraternity housemothers whowas telling how she hated scraping thesnow off of her car. Mom didn’t say any-thing at the time, but she says that in allthese years, she has never once scraped thesnow from her car—that’s just one of manytasks always taken care of by the “boys.”

Mom also related a story about a recentmeeting of housemothers held at the ChiOmega house. When it was time for themeeting, two Delta Chis showed up at herdoor to escort her down the street to themeeting. When the meeting was over, theywere waiting to escort her back to the fra-ternity house. None of the other house-mothers had personal escorts. Theycouldn’t stop talking about how impressedthey were at the courtesy and considerationwith which Mom was always treated.

In a special tradition, the men of DeltaChi show their affection for Mom everyevening before dinner as they gather to

NORTHWEST MISSOURIReestablishes House CorporationAnd Discusses Future of“The House.”

On February 21, 2004, the Northwest Missouri alumni held an Alumni Re-treat led by Vince Evola and Ryan George. An on-campus lecture hall wasused to facilitate the event. The purpose of the meeting was to reestablish aHouse Corporation, in addition to making a clear distinction between the re-sponsibilities of the Alumni Board of Trustees and the House Corporation.Another important discussion concerned the future of “The House.” All is-sues were approached with an open mind by alumni from every generationwho came to take part in the retreat. The retreat was deemed a success basedon two factors.

First, a new Housing Corporation was formed, with Mike Rouw electedPresident, along with eight other board members. Secondly, the group saw aneed to establish an Alumni Association, which will be responsible for orga-nizing all fund-raising and alumni events. The Alumni Association was di-vided up geographically into three divisions: Omaha, Nebraska; Kansas City,Missouri; and Des Moines, Iowa. The temporary chairs of the Alumni Asso-ciation are Britt Davis and Craig Kelley.

The Texas Chapter’s new house has Alpha Delta Pi and Chi Omega as neighbors.

This past fall, we hosted an event inhopes of raising funds for the Cystic Fi-brosis Foundation. This is a hereditarydisease that results in an unusually thickmucus filling the pancreas and lungs ofthe infected person. In most cases the dis-ease is fatal. This event was planned topick up where others left off. It is an an-nual pageant that we have held in the past,and it has emotional ties to the chapter.Jon C. Capps, a founding father, was di-agnosed with cystic fibrosis as a youngchild. It was Jon’s intention that he betreated without sympathy by the otherguys. There were only a handful of peoplein his life who fully knew of his condition.

The pageant was held in the Heth Ball-room with over 400 people in attendanceand a cheerful crowd it was. The positionsof Master of Ceremony and D.J. were oc-cupied by brothers who performed flaw-lessly. Two other brothers filled the needfor two judges alongside three other fac-ulty judges. They included the Greek LifeCoordinator, Student Leader ResourcesCoordinator, and a Public Speaking In-structor. The ladies from the PanhellenicCouncil were asked to have a woman fromeach sorority compete. The lovely contes-tants were judged in three categories, For-mal Wear, Talent, and a Question and An-swer portion. The pageant made it pos-sible to raise over $650 to send to the Cys-tic Fibrosis Foundation. This is the largestamount that we have been able to donate.The winner was crowned and given a sashproclaiming her this year’s Miss Radford.

Last se-mester, we raised over $6,500 for alocal family whose son was mauled bydogs. Delta Chi was there day in andday out raising money to help pay forthe family’s medical bills. At the endof the fundraiser, not only did we helpa family, but we received awesomepublicity from the local radio andtelevision stations. The eight-year-old boy is doing great thanks to themen of Delta Chi!

On December 6th, we took a much-needed break from studying and exams toattend a game of the Syracuse Crunch, aminor league hockey team in the area.About 20 brothers went to the Saturdaynight game, and everyone had a good time.“It was great just to take some time off fromstudying and see everyone outside the cam-pus setting,” said Peter Rosetti. JasonDvorkin was able to secure team pennantsand pucks for the colony and also get dis-counted seats and our letters displayed onthe jumbotron. In fact, we showed such in-tense spirit that we were given free ticketsto a future game of the Syracuse Salty Dogs,the minor league soccer team. The gamewas also a good recruitment tool, as sev-eral potential associates came with us.

We are proud to announce that wemoved into our new chapter residence onMarch 14, 2004. Our new house has 20 suite-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms, acommercial kitchen, a 2,500-square footchapter room, a study room complete witha computer lab, and a 28-spot parking lot.It stands in the heart of UT’s Greek com-munity, with the Alpha Delta Pi and ChiOmega sororities as neighbors. As our pre-vious house was significantly smaller, thenew facilities will provide us with excitingnew capabilities for recruitment.

We had the honor of hosting the RegionV Leadership Conference this year. Therewas a lot of work put into it, and hostingthis was a very good experience for thechapter and the members. There wasmuch to get out of the conference frommany of the various presentations such asthe “Risk Management” seminar facili-tated by Steve Bossart, “CC”, or the “Rushand Recruitment” seminar led by our Re-gent, John Dorner. The conference alsohad breakout sessions where people couldpick what topic interested them or wouldbenefit them the most. These sessionsranged from topics such as brotherhood,committee planning and rush, to meetingthe officers. The conference was a greattime and not only gave all of the chaptersa few more tools to use in making theirchapters successful, but also tools to makeevery person individually successful.

Our chapter began the semester by focus-ing on a strong spring rush. Through the hardwork of sophomore Brandon Flora, ourchapter’s Rush Chair, we were able to pin 21associate members to our “Alpha Gamma”class. This is one of the largest pledge classesof all of the fraternities at Virginia Tech, andboth the associate members and the brother-hood are extremely excited about this accom-plishment. The keys to our success in this areawere long-term planning, the implementationof rush captains, and an extremely positive,goal-oriented attitude.

WSU honored one of our own this pastOctober when John E. Halver, ’44, was

Every semester we host a Family Day.This past November’s event was very suc-cessful. We had an amazing turnout andeveryone had a great time. Lunch for theday was prepared by the brothers and therewas a speech made by Lee Pope, as well asintroductions of the executive members andbig/little brothers. Our Third Semi-AnnualFamily Day was a great chance for thebrothers to meet the families and for thefamilies to meet all the brothers. We lookforward to our next Family Day, for whichwe plan to have a turnout of over 100! We attended the local Volunteer

Fireman’s Banquet, to help them raisemoney. The firemen cooked a deli-cious ham dinner for the brothers andother students. Between the brothersand the students who accompaniedthe chapter, about $500 was raised forthese volunteer heroes.

ACHIEVEMENT SERIES

Chapter Brand Identity

If you claim to beeverything to

everyone then youare really nothing

to anyone.

A successful salesman needs two critical elements: aclearly defined product and a belief in that product.

With this in mind, what public image does yourchapter have on campus? More importantly, what isits “image” in the hearts and minds of your members?

In regards to recruitment, many of you often haveonly a few days to sell a potential member on thevalue of investing his time, money, and life affiliationin your chapter. Those are some big steps, and tryingto simply sell him “brotherhood” will not be effective.Instead, look at some specific areas you as a chaptermight be able to identify.

Class : as part of ourPreamble to developcharacter, you are the menon campus known forbeing polite, dignified,witty, and respectable. Youopen doors for ladies, offera firm handshake, lookpeople in the eye whenyou talk to them and ingeneral have an air ofrespect for yourself and others. Your house is wellkept and guests always feel welcome.

Campus Involvement: men want to join your chapterbecause they know they have a better chance of beingelected if they do. You are referred to as the “electionmachine” with a celebrated history of student leaders.Your recruitment materials read like a Who’s Whoof student government and club officers. Throughyour involvement you have solidified strong ties withadministrators who provide referrals andendorsements for your chapter.

No Hazing: your associate members are treatedwith respect and are engaged in developmentalactivities. They attend chapter meetings. You seeno reason to waste the first semester of theircollege career demeaning them. Men want to joinyour chapter because they know there is a mutualrespect among all members.

Housing: when guests stop by, there are membersaround to greet them. The facility is clean and orderly.You are located just off of or near campus. You have

modern amenities like Ethernet and a computerlab. The food keeps everyone happy, particularlythe seniors that signed up for the out-of-housefood plan. Your flag flies proudly in the front yardas a couple of brothers play catch. Parents driveby with their high school senior sons and say,“Well, that looks like fun.”

No House: while other chapters on your campusstruggle to maintain a money pit that is takingmoney away from programming, your membersare free to live wherever they want. Since you don’thave a live-in requirement, new members can live

in the residence halls andmeet new potentialmembers. Seniors can livewhere they like withoutbeing harassed for “notsupporting” the chapter.Social events are at third-party establishments,where the business isresponsible for securityand clean up afterwards.

Academics: you recruit from honor rolls of nearbyhigh schools. Your grade point average requirementsare enforced and it shows. The chapter is consistentlyin the top three in overall academics, well above theall-men’s average. Your faculty advisor talks up thechapter to his students, which brings in even moreacademically ambitious members. Other chapterslabel you as nerds to make their academic probationseem a little more reasonable. Members have anexcellent graduation rate and go on to be successfulalumni. The cycle of success just seems to continue.

Scholarships: your alumni have pooled moneytogether to create an endowment either throughthe University or through the Delta ChiEducational Foundation. Applications come in fora new member scholarship, which generates newnames for the recruitment committee. The financialassistance helps free a few members up tovolunteer more of their time to the chapter.Undergraduates understand the importance ofassisting others in their needs, which alsotranslates to more community service andphilanthropic endeavors.

∆X Quarterly Spring/Summer 2004 13

Athletics: other chapters groan when they see youon their intramural calendar. Intramural flag footballgames resemble varsity athletics. Sidelines ofbrothers, girlfriends, potential members, andonlookers surround a team that practices like it isgetting academic credit for victories. The playoffs areseen as the real beginning of the season. A glowingtrophy case adorns a corner of the chapter house. Themembership of the chapter is peppered with varsityathletes who then recruit their teammates who sharein the virtues of Delta Chi.

Tradition: sorority women have been won over longago after being serenaded with “Delta Chi Sweetheart”after their recruitment week. Homecoming is a bigevent for the chapter since it has placed in the top fivefor ten years running. Alumni look forward to thechapter ’s Homecoming event and spring golfoutings. Girls tend to come out of the woodworkaround the same time as the chapter’s annual socialevent, which is the talk of the town. It has printedinvitations, a DJ, third-party licensed vendors, andparty favors for the attendees.

Successful Alumni: whether they are alumni fromyour chapter or Delta Chi as an internationalfraternity, potential members see your chapter as aplace where successful people just congregate.Alumni were given the right environmentacademically, socially, and athletically asundergraduates to hone the life skills that havehelped get them to the levels of success they nowenjoy. The chapter also has a regular practice ofinitiating successful men in their geographic area tobolster its alumni base and solidify personalconnections with local businesses.

New: your colony or recently chartered chapter isstill growing. Instead of being another number in achapter with well-solidified procedures andactivities, a new member is given the chance to beinvolved immediately with major structuraldecisions. Traditions are still being formed, so thepersonalities of all members are quickly reflected inthe organization. You’re the buzz around campus,because other groups don’t know what new andexciting events you will have next.

Small Size: your members enjoy the fraternity lifewithout the chaos of coordinating dozens ofschedules. All members know one another very well,and recruitment is on more of a personal level. Thechapter recruits the men that fill its needs and arecomfortable where they are now. They are growing

as the semesters go on, raising the caliber of eachincoming class. Potential members see the chapteras a chance to be a big fish in a small pond, withthe opportunity to get involved in a leadershipposition early.

Medium Size: right in the middle, the chapter hasenough members to fund all sorts of activities butdoesn’t appear to take just anyone. It has a well-oiledcommittee system and a solid intramural program.All members know one another very well andrecruitment is on more of a personal level. AssociateMember classes have officers and organize variousactivities over the semester. The chapter has enoughmembers to fill its house with a few members in theresidence halls and apartments.

Large Size: when your chapter decides to dosomething, others listen. The reach of 70+ membersmakes recruitment considerably easier. The chapteris well funded through the number of memberspaying membership dues. Members can be involvedin all sorts of student organizations since theworkload of the chapter is spread over manyshoulders. All members know one another very welland recruitment is on more of a personal level, butwith the assistance of many more resources. Successperpetuates success and, from the outside, otherchapters think it just comes naturally to you.

This list is meant to show some examples of whatvarious chapters have chosen for their "identities."What is important is for your chapter to decide whattype of image it wants to have on your campus andthen to live up to it. Selling a false product(pretending to be something you are not or at leastare not even aspiring to the marrow of your bones tobecome) never works in the long run. Be proud ofwho you are or what you are fervently working tobecome and strive every day to be just a bit better atwhat you have chosen to be. Your members will knowwhat they are selling and so will the campus. Whena Delta Chi walks down the sidewalk wearing hisletters, everyone will know what that means.

Note from the Editor: This article on “Brand Identity” isjust one example of the type of programming that isavailable to our chapters for free on our website:www.deltachi.org. Other materials cover such topics asRecruitment, Membership Education, Alumni Board ofTrustees, Songs, Alumni Relations, Committee System, Pre-Initiation Ideas, Chapter Management, SocialProgramming, Parlimentary Procedure, HouseCorporation, Public Relations and much more! Thisprogramming is also available on one CD for the cost of $10.

14 ∆X Quarterly Spring/Summer 2004

Nearly eight years later, Ludvigson’sNational Guard unit, the 139thMobile Public Affairs Detachment

(MPAD), has been deployed in support ofOperation Iraqi Freedom-II. The MPAD iscomposed of National Guard membersfrom two states – Illinois and Wisconsin –and when the two states first came togetherin preparation for the mission overseas,Ludvigson vaguely recognized one of thesoldiers from Wisconsin. Vague recognitionbecame the realization that Fred Minnick,Oklahoma State ’01, a sergeant in the Wis-consin half of the 139th MPAD, was one ofthose associate members Ludvigson hadmet in Stillwater several years before.

Now serving together in Iraq, Ludvigsonand Minnick play an integral role in rebuild-ing and restructuring the country. As partof the 139th MPAD, they work together tofacilitate media coverage of Task ForceOlympia, a coalition force under the opera-tional control of the Army’s I Corps (FirstCorps). The 139th MPAD also supports thehighly profiled 3rd Brigade, 2nd InfantryDivision (Stryker Brigade Combat Team)from Ft. Lewis, Washington. BothLudvigson and Minnick work in the north-ern Iraqi city of Mosul in a palace once in-habited by Saddam Hussein and his sons,which the Delta Chi brothers have affection-ately dubbed “The Mosul Chapter House.”

As a public affairs officer, Ludvigson co-ordinates interaction with Western and Iraqimedia sources and acts as a liaison with theStryker Brigade, the Army’s premier mobilecombat force. When a news event occurs inthe Mosul region, Ludvigson organizespress conferences, issues press releases andresponds to reporter queries.

“I have to be very precise,” Ludvigsonsaid. “Anything I say may be picked up andreported as the official U.S. Army positionby sources ranging from Fox News to TheNew York Times to Al Jazeera.”

As a noncommissioned officer and printjournalist, Minnick embeds, or is integrated,with combat and support units to capturethe Iraqi nation’s transformation efforts inwords and photographs. Minnick’s work isforwarded to a wire service and can often

be used by Yahoo.com, CNN.com, and othernews sources, both web and non web-based.

“I love what I do,” Minnick said. “Hav-ing a fraternity brother doing it with me justmakes it better.”

Since arriving in Iraq, the two fraternitybrothers have witnessed more than just theviolence that dominates the news. “There’sa lot of good being done here by bothAmericans and Iraqis,” Minnick said. “Wejust have to get the word out.”

Minnick has had the opportunity to pro-vide the military media coverage for sev-eral key community projects, including thefirst payday for new recruits in the Iraq CivilDefense Corps and school reconstructionprojects in surrounding neighborhoods.These projects and hundreds of others un-derscore that stability is returning to a na-tion ruled by a dictator for 30 years.

Minnick and Ludvigson are as proud oftheir Delta Chi connection as they are oftheir military service. “Delta Chi brothershave fought and made the ultimate sacri-fice in every U.S. war for over a century,”Ludvigson said. “We are proud to continuethat history of dedication to the ideals ofour nation and our fraternity. I guess youcould say that this is the ultimate philan-thropy project.”

Minnick agreed that this experience hastruly affected his outlooks on life and madehim appreciate the freedoms that manyAmericans take for granted. “Whenever wedrive by in our vehicles, whole familiesstand on the side of road waving, cheeringand giving us the ‘thumbs-up’ sign,”Minnick said. “Most Iraqis want us here

because we’re helping them achieve some-thing they’ve never had before – freedom.”

Like Minnick, Ludvigson is as motivatedby the gratitude of the Iraqis as he is by thesecurity needs of his own country. “We can’tafford to fail at this mission,” Ludvigsonsaid. “There are too many kids here whodeserve the same kind of chance thatAmerican children have. We’re simply notgoing to let the terrorists, criminals, andmembers of the former regime take thatchance away from them.”

Both brothers agreed that being in Iraqat this moment in history is a truly definingexperience. “Living life in a combat zone asboth brothers and comrades at arms givesa whole new perspective to the meaning of‘In the Bond,’” Minnick said.

The “MosulChapter House”

While attending the Field Artillery Officer Basic Course at Ft. Sill, OK in 1996, J. PhilipLudvigson, American ’96, now a captain in the Illinois Army National Guard, often tookroad trips to various Delta Chi chapters in the area. On one of those visits, he met the brothersof the Oklahoma State University chapter. But when Ludvigson left for a military assignmentin Korea, he really did not count on seeing any of the Oklahoma State brothers again.
