MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Proud New Home for the Fraternity

O n January 3,2002, over 50 alumni, undergraduates , interfraternity leaders , Foundation Trustees , Fraternity Directors , and special guests joined to celebrate the dedication of the newly

remodeled offices of the Delta Upsilon International Fraternity. DU's Indianapolis offices were built in 1970 thanks to a generous bequest

from Lester E. Cox , Pennsylvania 1898. The Fraternity moved its central offices from New York City in that year and a new era of building better men began.

Now, 30 years later, it was time to renovate the structure to modernize the offices and to accommodate new staff needs . DU now has 21st century offices!

The professional staff moved to temporary office space during the renovation. The building was gutted entirely, leaving only the four outer walls of Indiana limestone standing. The interior was redesigned to ensure efficiency, economical maintenance, improved business operations , and to provide attractive display cabinets for Delta Upsilon 's impressive archival collection of Fraternity regalia and memorabilia .

You can be proud of the Fraternity'S new central service center. Please go out of your way to visit the new offices when you are in Indianapolis. The Fraternity and Foundation staff is friendly and anxious to give you a grand tour. Be sure to take a few minutes to view the interesting displays of DU memorabilia, jeweled badge collections , and other archives.

DU's remodeled offices reflect permanence and excellence which have been our hallmarks for 167 years.

Fraternally,

Ed Porter, Oklahoma '65 President

D elta Upsilon stood tall at the Association of Fraternity Advisors' annual meeting held in late-November 200 1. Two Delta U brothers

were recognized by AFA, an association of college and university advisors to men's and women 's fraternities with a membership of over 1,100 professionals across the United States and Canada.

Recipient of the Jack L. Anson Award, AFA's highest honor, was Will S. Keim, PhD., Pacific '75. Brother Keim received both his bachelor's degree and master's degree in communication arts & religious studies at the University of the Pacific, and then finished his post-graduate work with a Ph.D. in education at Oregon State University. He received many individual distinctions during his undergraduate years and moved on to a career in lecturing, ministering, and authorship with like recognitions from his peers .

Leadership for the 21 st Century, and The Residential Life Primer Series.

Will 's service to Delta Upsilon , notwithstanding his comfort and counsel to all who ask, includes advising DUs of the Oregon State Chapter. He also served on the Fraternity's Board of Directors 1991-93, and was

chairman of the Fratemity's Educational Conferences Committee which included being dean of the Leadership Institute and Presidents Academy. Long a sought-after keynote speaker and facilitator of educational, motivational, and inspirational seminars, it was no surprise to learn of this most recent acclaim.

Brother Keirn has lectured to over one million students on more than 500 campuses in the United States , Canada, Australia, Greece, and Malaysia. Will is a minister of

The Jack L. Anson Award , established in 1982, is presented annually to a "well-respected individual not in the field of higher education, who has demonstrated a long-term commitment to the fraternity/sorority community beyond just his respective organization. The individual will have assisted in developing partnerships with higher education

T odd C. Sullivan , Santa Barbara '95, was recognized as recipient of the 2001 Gayle Webb New Professionals Award. Brother Sullivan received his bachelor of arts degree from the University of California-Santa Barbara and joined the staff at the International Headquarters as a Leadership

Consultant in 1995. Todd later went on to Indiana University to get his master's in higher education and student affairs. He is presently the assistant director of campus life for Greek affairs at Florida International University in Miami.

Todd has been active on the speaking circuit and regularly serves as faculty for Delta Upsilon's Leadership Institute and Presidents Academy.

First awarded in 1990, the Gayle Webb New Professionals Award is presented to an individual who has exhibited high professional standards and achievements in men's and women's fraternity advising during the first two years of professional employment. The award is named for Gayle Webb, the first full-time executive director of the AFA, who retired in 1999.

Todd was described as a "person of integrity, profound commitment, and high ideals." In addition to the expected responsibilities of advising on his campus, he has been heavily involved in the university's project of building its first on campus chapter houses, and expanding the Greek community by five chapters in the previous two years. His deep involvement in fraternity/sorority affairs extends beyond the university. He has served in volunteer positions for AFA, including Florida area coordinator and the legal and government issues chairman.

Todd told us , "I am honored to have been recognized by my friends and colleagues. AFA has been an extended fraternal family for me over the last few years and I thoroughly enjoy my involvement in the Association. The opportunities for professional development are endless and I am fortunate that FlU supports me in my growth."

T he third member of Delta Upsilon to receive recognition at the late-November conference is Joshua A. Martin, Central Florida '97. Brother Martin was awarded a William J. Brennan Graduate Assistant Fellowship by the National Order of Omega.

A mathematics major, Josh served the Fraternity as a Leadership Consultant for the two years following his graduation in 1997. Since that time he has been a volunteer faculty member for

Delta Upsilon 's Leadership Institute and Presidents Academy. A member of the Order of Omega and a graduate assistant for Greek affairs at the University of Central Florida,

Josh received four letters of support of his nomination. According to the national vice president of the Order of Omega, this was the most letters that anyone nominee

had ever received. Josh will complete his master's degree at UCF in May 2002. The fellowship program was established by the National Order of Omega to recognize graduate scholarship, participation and leadership in professional organizations, citizenship, and service to the Order of Omega and campus Greek system.

Delta Upsilon is indeed proud of these three brothers for their contributions to the fraternal movement and the recognition of their achievements and efforts.

N ovember 3,2001, was a monumental day for the men of the Northwestern State Colony as the Fraternity presented the men with a DU charter, recognizing the

ISOth chapter of the Delta Upsilon International Fraternity. The installation process began during the fall of 2000

with the formation of an interest group with the help of then Director of Fraternity Expansion Darrell Holloway, Arlington '98, and Leadership Consultant John Duncan, Oregon State '00. The interest group thrived on campus, attracting men from all backgrounds and on the basis of personal merit only. On November 11,2000 , the interest group was colonized and began making plans for installation as a chapter of DU.

The colony's future was challenged when membership and enthusiasm dipped the following spring . Through long hours of hard work by all of the members, the colony regained its momentum and the installation was scheduled for the fall of 2001.

The weekend ceremonies began on Friday evening, November 2, with Rite I of Initiation in the President 's Room of the Student Union on the Natchitoches campus of Northwestern State University. After a discussion of DU history and the Four Founding Principles of Delta Upsilon, the candidates signed the Roll Book. Following the ceremony, there was a dinner reception at Merci Beaucoup, a local Cajun restaurant.

Rite II ceremonies commenced on Saturday morning , November 3, at Holy Cross Catholic Church in the Natchitoches historic district. Members of the installation team

included Board of Directors Member Jordan Lotsoff, Northem lllillois '88, former Coordinator of Fraternity Expansion Kris Robl , Kansas State '98, Leadership Consultant Philip Ranford, Culver-Stocktoll '00, Educational Foundation Director of Development Aaron Clevenger, Central Florida '97, and Director of Fraternity Expansion John Duncan. Brother Lotsoff delivered an inspiring Installation Charge in which he stressed the importance of duty to the Fraternity, and challenged the group to look forward to a promising future.

Following the Initiation and Installation ceremonies, the group gathered for the traditional flag raising ceremony on campus. Festivities concluded with a reception held at the Northwestern State University Alumni House, with university faculty and staff, family and friends , and members of the Northwestern Greek community in attendance. Featured speakers included Faculty Advisor Dr. Mike Moulton and closing remarks by Chapter President Quincy Spencer, Northwestem State '03.

Gifts commemorating the Installation were presented to the new chapter including the DU, United States, and Canadian flags, the Fraternity'S ISO-year history Challenge, COllflict alld Change , the Roll Book, the president's gavel , and the first manuscript of the Fraternity'S newly revised Ritual Book.

Through an increased commitment to academics last semester, the Alberta Chapter has realized a substantial increase in its overall membership GPA. On a 9.0 grading system, DU's average increased from 6.02 last semester to 6.5 this semester. As a result, the chapter is applying for the IFC's academic award .

Four DU brothers shaved their heads to raise funds and awareness for cancer research. On a more personal level, this endeavor provided support for one particular local Edmonton boy who is currently battling the disease.

The chapter is constructing a substantial library, made possible largely by some summer fundraising events spearheaded by Jon Sharun '03, who secured and oversaw the rental of excess space in the chapter house to a committee from the 8 IAAF track and field championships.

DU was the leading financial donor to Alpha Gamma Delta 's annual fundraiser for its foundation which contributes to diabetes research.

Several DU chapters were recognized for their community service efforts during the fall 2001 term. The Bowling Green Chapter received an award from the Fraternity for the brothers' efforts during DU's Community Service Week - November 4-10, 2001 . Cameron Shropshire '03 received the award on behalf of the chapter at the 2002 Winter Educational Conference.

On a warm October Saturday evening last fall , the men of Delta Upsilon 's Cal Poly Chapter thrilled the crowd of gathered college football fans with a spectacular fireworks show. Armed with a desire to further enhance their position on campus and in the community during recruitment week, the brothers had one of their own to light up the sky. Matt Gilfillan '03 provided the expertise. Gilfillan's family owns and operates Pyro Spectacular, a company in northern California specializing in firework shows .

While Brother Gilfillan worked behind the scene designing an awesome halftime show for the capacity crowd assembled to see Cal Poly play Utah State, fellow brothers promoted the show with an article in the school's newspaper, the Mustallg Daily, and canvassed the campus with flyers announcing the show.

With the assistance of Cal Poly 's student government association, ASI, and Pyro Spectacular's sponsorship of the fireworks show, it was a rousing success and helped promote Delta Upsilon to the Cal Poly conm1Unity. Even though the show was great, the brothers agreed that one of the best parts was seeing Delta Upsilon's flag presented on the 50-yard line at halftime.

"One of the most memorable experiences of my life, was when I carried the Olympic torch ," said Mike Licea , Cel/tral Florida '02. The Olympic Torch was brought from Greece to the United

States for the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City. Before the torch reached the games , it traveled though 47 states and was carried by approximately 11 ,000 people. Mike's torch carrying location was in Miami , FL, his hometown. Brother Licea said , "The directions were simple: carry the torch and don't drop it!" The distance was about two-tenths of a mile, and although he carried it for only a few minutes , Mike said that carrying the flame was definitely an amazing and unique experience.

The essay for Brother Licea 's nomination to calTY the Olympic torch was submitted by his mother and told of his impact on the community through his church and the Boy Scouts .

The Houston Chapter celebrated the initiation of its fall 200 I associate member class on February 2, 2002. The Honorable Terry L. Bullock, Kansas State '61, electrified brothers and guests with his inspiring Charge, detailing his journey through Delta Upsilon over the last 45 years . Seventeen men were initiated in the ceremony, representing the largest initiation class since 1997.

As a part of the initiation weekend events, the Houston Chapter began a new service partnership with La Casa de Esparanza, a home for children who have been infected with the AIDS virus since birth .

Center Director Amy Roberts.

Fraternity and sorority members from each chapter spent weeks on campus and throughout the community raising money. Those who donated received a ticket in return for each $5 donation. Fifty tickets were randomly chosen after donations were collected, and those 50 people selected keys from a container to attempt to " turn on" a 200 I Jeep Wrangler. The Jeep went to the person who chose the right key and turned it on.

After weeks of taking donations, the Miami Chapter, along with Alpha Xi Delta, Alpha Phi, and Phi Kappa Tau , raised over $17 ,000. As a result , a donation of over $10 ,000 was made to the Oxford Community Counseling and Crisis Center and the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund .

Fall semester was a great one for DU at the San Jose Chapter with the chapter recruiting 13 outstanding young men.

The semester was also a successful one for DU athletically, taking I st in all-Greek basketball, I st in the campus-wide three­on-three hoops tournament, I st in Greek week, 2nd in IFC volleyball, 3rd in IFC football , and Grant Johnson '05 was 2nd in Alpha Omega Pi 's Mr. Fraternity competition.

DU received recognition for the most improved associate member GPA during the 2000-01 academic year, for the 2nd highest GPA for spring of 2001 , and 4th highest brother GPA for fall 2001 . George Campos '03 was recognized as the IFC's most outstanding fall associate member.

FOl' the Purdue Chapter this school year has been one of excitement and change. Academics, social events , and service activities have kept the brothers busy. The chapter has a very strong emphasis on community service that was increased further with the revival of an old Purdue DU tradition of sponsoring a haunted house with different Halloween activities for the local Boys & Girls Club. There was face painting , pumpkin carving, fortune telling , and a lot of candy.

Purdue DUs went to the Indiana Veteran's Home in Lafayette, Indiana,

on Veterans' Day to help celebrate with the residents.

A few of the other service events this year by the Purdue Chapter included:

• The new associate member class went to the Boys & Girls Club and played games an evening before the Christmas break.

• The chapter was recognized by the Purdue United Way Campaign for its help in running the campaign and for donating the most of any fraternity on Purdue's campus.

• The brothers volunteered at the Gus Maker Basketball Tournament in downtown Lafayette , IN. This event is one of the biggest fundraisers of the year for the community.

• Proceeds from parking cars during football games were donated to the Red Cross.

F ew DUs can claim membership in Delta Upsilon from a chapter's beginnings, but Brother Steve

Neumann can. Steve's first involvement with DU was as a member of the Alpha Delta Upsilon colony at Michigan Tech. "Building a new fraternity on campus in itself was exciting and presented many challenges. The policies of no hazing and non-secrecy were an alternative to the other fraternities at Michigan Tech, and played a major role in my decision to join Delta Upsilon."

Brother Neumann was heavily involved in the colony, which was installed as the Michigan Tech Chapter of DU on May 10, 1986, and has shown tremendous interest since then. He is a frequent visitor to the annual Leadership Institute as the Michigan Tech Trustee to the Assembly of Trustees , and has served various roles in the alumni chapter since his graduation.

Even with his busy schedule as a regional land surveyor for the Michigan Department of Transportation on Michigan 's Upper Peninsula, president of the local surveying society, adjunct facuIty at Michigan Tech, and lay

minister in the Diocese of Marquette, he still finds time to serve in his current role as a director on the alumni board, and as alumnus advisor to the chapter, a role that he cherishes . Steve says, "Working with the undergraduate men of our Fraternity is a rewarding experience. Interacting with them , one has the ability to positively influence their lives, and emich their experience in the Fraternity. In giving back to the Fraternity some of what I received through my experience, I find that I continue to receive more than I give."

Brother Neumann's interest in staying involved is fueled by his desire to see that the undergraduate brothers realize their full potential tlu'ough setting and reaching their goals , while adhering to the principles of DU. His vision for the chapter is that they continue their top academic status on campus, preserve their standing with campus and university officials, continue to improve the chapter programming, and increase their membership. The latter he says, will

s. Neumann

come directly from the development and support of the progranuning. "Quality," Neumann says , "begets quality."

When asked what words he would offer today 's undergraduates , Brother Neumann responds, "Hold true to the purposes of the Fraternity, seek to better yourself, your brothers and the Fraternity wholeheartedly; and pursue distinction by merit for yourselves and our brotherhood. In this you will realize substantial personal satisfaction ." These are words for all brothers , undergraduate and alumni alike, to live by as we continue to build better men.

Delta U Chapter Celebrations

Chapter anniversaries and celebrations of brotherhood were the order of the day for three

Delta Upsilon chapters this winter.

Pictured are six DU brothers at the Bradley celebration. All from the class of 1991 are (I to r) Jim Fordonski, Mark Harbaugh, Mike Puttin,

Derek G/enzinski, John Mientus, and John Durante.

The first celebration of the academic year was the October 26-27 Bradley Chapter Blue & Golden anniversary. Nearly 400 undergraduates, alumni, and friends attended the weekend festivities as the chapter recognized the original founders of the local chapter of Rho Delta (55 years) and the founders of the Delta Upsilon chapter (50 years).

The weekend began on Friday evening with a Hawaiian luau theme party and silent auction. On Saturday morning the undergraduates hosted a bmnch at the chapter house. Following bmnch, many alumni headed to the Greek games to cheer DU on to victory.

At the anniversary banquet on Saturday evening all of the past presidents of Rho Delta and DU were honored. A plaque commemorating their strong leadership was presented to the 18 past presidents in attendance. The plaque will be displayed in the chapter house along with a framed DU flag which all of the presidents in attendance signed.

The Bradley Chapter, along with Bob Massa '69 and Mike Boylan '69, honored Dallas D'hondt '55 by renaming the annual Brother of the Year

Award, "The Dallas D'hondt Brother of the Year Award." Dallas received this honor for his 50 years of committed work on behalf of the chapter. Through his many years assisting the undergraduate chapter by his service on the alumni board, Brother D'hondt has been an example of dedication, hard work, and perseverance.

Mike Copping '90 , on behalf of the Bradley Chapter, honored Dr. Ray Zarvell '68 for his nearly 20 years of service as the chapter's faculty advisor. The chapter has an annual scholarship award that will now be known as the Dr. Raymond Zarvell Scholarship Award. The first winner of the Dr. Zarvell Scholarship was announced as Jake Wilson, a senior engineering major was recognized as the initial recipient of this honor.

DU Executive Director Abe Cross , on behalf of the Fraternity, presented the inaugural Founders Medal to Brother Zarvell. The award is given to brothers who have achieved the highest degree of distinguished service at either the international or chapter level.

The next celebration was by the Kansas State Chapter as it celebrated its 45th anniversary the weekend of November 16-18,2001. An award­winning undergraduate chapter occupying a newly built chapter house and attended by distinguished alumni brothers ... what could be better?!

Tours of the new chapter house were Saturday morning prior to the Kansas State football game vs . Louisiana Tech. Chairman of the Board Dick Campbell, Nebraska '68, attended the weekend events including the initiation of eight men . It was an

14 DELTA U ON THE WEB@www.DeltaU.org

incredible celebration of brotherhood and friendship.

Last of the semester's series of anniversary observations was the 80th anniversary of the Oregon State Chapter on January 18-19, 2002. Friday evening's festivities were at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Portland, with the roster of speakers headed by Board Chairman Dick Campbell, Nebraska '68, and Tom Durein, Oregon State '92 .

Celebrating their November 17, 200 I Kansas State initiation are (I to r)

James Fox '05 and Randy Loerke '05.

Saturday's schedule included lunch at the chapter house and a tour of the Corvallis campus.

Ralph E. Vanderv011, Jr., '41 , recognized for 63 years as a member of DU, commented that he was quite impressed with the undergraduates and their enthusiasm for the anniversary program. He very much enjoyed having the opportunity to visit with everyone, and especially those brothers whose membership of 50 years or more were recognized.

Delta Upsilon ... OUT IN FRONT

Aan undergraduate student, C. Norman Frees , DePauw '36, was very much involved. "In addition to my studies that earned me a degree in economics from

DePauw University, I was student body president, student senate president, Rector Scholar, member of the track team, member of the DePauw 1933

football team, and president of the DePauw Chapter of Delta Upsilon ." Brother Frees continued, "Even as an undergraduate, I saw the value that

Delta Upsilon's principles offered to a man. The opportunity for personal growth, the training, and the encouragement that DU

membership provides enable a man to better mold his character and to become a more rounded individual. These are some of the lessons that I gained from my experience in DU." Brother Frees' involvement and drive led him to law school at Fordham University, and later, into a successful career in international business as president and owner of Petrotex International, Inc. An international businessman recognized on two continents, lawyer and civic leader, Brother Frees has exemplified outstanding achievement in his life 's work.

As an alumnus , Norman Frees is involved. Frees has never forgotten his experiences while an undergraduate at DePauw, or

the many benefits he received from Delta Upsilon: "I have felt all along that DU sets the standard for leadership, and should

always strive to be ahead of the pack." Responding to the need to give back, Brother Frees and his wife, Shirley, have shared their good fortune with the DU Educational Foundation, the DePauw Chapter, and the university. Mrs. Frees commented, "We have both been so

fortunate that it was only right that we share with others ."

Brother Frees continues to keep in touch through his involvement with DePauw, DU,

and his fraternity brothers. When queried as to the importance of giving back as a DU alumnus, Brother Frees says, "I really appreciate the learning experience that I had

while an undergraduate in DU. I believe wholeheartedly that type of training should

continue, and I want to do my part to ensure that it does. Delta Upsilon should always be out in front."

A true example that DU is a lifetime commitment.
