Tragedy in a BottleOn the evening of November 17, 2004, Steven Judd, New Mexico State

’06, prepared to go out with some friends, some of whom were DeltaChi brothers, to celebrate his turning 21 at midnight that night. Stevenhad been elected “A” of the Chapter just that month. He was, well, justread the letter from his father that is reprinted below.

Taken from Delta Chi’s Ten Basic Expectations of a Member:3. I will protect the health and safety of all human beings.6. I will neither use nor support the use of illegal drugs; I will neither abuse nor support the abuse of alcohol.8. I will know and understand the ideals expressed in my fraternity Ritual and will incorporate them into my daily life.

10. I will challenge all my fraternity members to abide by these fraternity obligations and will confront those who violate them.

As a former professional law fraternity, Delta Chi has always maintained as part of its core values, the respect for and observance of the law.When we went “General” in 1923, we broadened that out to “Justice for our fellow man.” Fundamentally, we believe in the betterment ofmankind and, specifically, our members. Besides our policies aimed at curbing inappropriate behavior, we have developed a wide range ofmaterials to show our members and our chapters what they can and should be doing. Besides the lessons taught in our Ritual and otherceremonies, in 1988 we adopted the Basic Expectations of a Delta Chi as a guide to assist our members in living up to their obligations not onlyas Delta Chis but as members of society at large.

The Values of Delta Chi

Many traditions, rites, and rituals are an important aspect of fraternal life,but on November 18, 2004 the New Mexico State Chapter of Delta Chi hadthe misfortune of experiencing what can happen when common sense givesway to tradition, pride and ignorance. One of their traditions, which we havesubsequently learned is fairly common, was to take out their brothers at 12midnight on the eve of their 21st birthday and try to get them really drunk. Onthat fateful night they were very successful. My son, Steven David Judd,according to his brothers and the El Paso, Texas Coroner’s office, consumedover 15 mixed drinks in less than two hours. All these drinks were purchasedby his Delta Chi brothers. When the bars closed at 2 AM they took him backto his room at the fraternity house and put him to bed. They even providedhim with a “barf bucket” next to his bed and proceeded to watch him gounknowingly from a drunken state of euphoria to a stupor and eventuallysleep. During this “sleeping it off” phase he eventually went into a comaand by morning had stopped breathing, all of this under the watchful eyesof his brothers who knew no better. Steven never woke up from his “bignight on the town” and was pronounced dead on November 19th, barely 24hours after their celebration. Steven’s birthday, funeral, Thanksgiving,Christmas and the New Year have now passed and we are still trying topick up the pieces and make some sense of how this tragedy could haveoccurred and been prevented.

Very few of you had the opportunity and pleasure to know Steven asan individual, but to those brothers who did, know how blessed you are.Steven David Judd was born November 18, 1983. Steven leaves behindhis loving father Steve, mother Karen, sister Stephanie and too manyfriends and family to count. Steven was born and raised in El Paso, Texas.During his high school years he received a number of state and local awardsin academics, science and computer programming and graduated withhonors. Steven was a practitioner and teacher of Butokan Karate. Be-sides being enthralled with learning and computers, Steven loved travel-ing and camping. He had the fortune to be able to visit all 50 states in theUS and many of the providences and states of Canada and Mexico. At thetime of his death, Steven was a junior Crimson Scholar at New MexicoState University in Las Cruces majoring in computer science and recentlyhad been invited to join Gamma Sigma Alpha (the National Greek Aca-demic Honor Society). Steven had recently been elected president of theNMSU Delta Chi Chapter. Steven also worked at AICS in Las Cruces forthe past three years as a computer programmer developing software whichwill be used in science and education to deliver talks and lectures to partsof the world lacking high speed Internet access. He, like many his age,had all kinds of dreams and aspirations to fulfill.

Steven has left many family and friends who will be better off for know-ing him and will be missed by all. We hope that people will remember Stevenfor all his accomplishments in his short life, in addition to the fact that his

untimely death was the result of excess alcohol consumption on his 21st birth-day. Life teaches us something if only we will listen. Regretfully, somepeople have to learn from their own mistakes. Even more regretfully, somemistakes are so tragic that both one’s life and potential are lost forever. Wehope that all his brothers who read this will choose the former not the latter.We hope that the one positive thing that comes out of Steven’s untimely andunnecessary death will be that others will learn something about their owninfallibility and will make the necessary changes in their lives. We do notwant anyone else to put their friends and family through what our family andfriends will have to endure the rest of our lives.

We pray that Steven’s death will be a learning experience for others.Even GOOD kids can make stupid mistakes. This lesson has been thehardest for us to understand. Steven was an intelligent young man whoknew better and somehow still made this tragic error in judgment. He hadworked hard all week on his various computer and physics assignments inorder to have a couple of hours of free time to celebrate his birthday aftermidnight. We had talked to him only a few hours before and told him touse his good judgment and to remember he had both school and work thenext morning. What was going on or not going on in his alcohol inducedmind we will never know. This tragedy might have been prevented hadSteven or his brothers used good judgment and spent a few minutes learn-ing about alcohol poisoning and its symptoms and preventions. His broth-ers, out of ignorance not malice, virtually did everything wrong accord-ing to the experts. He could be your son, daughter, brother, sister, or friend.Please take a few minutes and sit down with them and read this articletogether. We hope it will make a difference. It is the good that all whoknow him will remember forever, but if his real legacy is that others livedbecause he died, then maybe his loss will not be so wasted.

We would like to challenge all of Steven’s Delta Chi brothers through-out the country to have at least one less drink each month this semesterand to donate the money you would have spent on those drinks to theSteven David Judd Scholarship at New Mexico State University to helpkeep Steven’s memory alive. More importantly, when you pass on thatlast drink of the night, remember our son and your brother Steven Judd.Hopefully, no other Delta Chi chapters will have to endure the guilt andsuffering that the NMSU chapter will have to endure forever.

We are also challenging each of the Delta Chi chapters to take the leadon their own college campuses to educate their communities with regardsto alcohol abuse and the tragic negative effects. With minimal effort youcan find out all kinds of valuable information on the Internet and make adifference. Over 1400 college students are killed in alcohol relatedaccidents each and every year. We are not trying to bring back thetemperance movement, only moderation and common sense. Both ofthese often are ignored in “the moment.” – Steve Judd

∆X Quarterly Winter/Spring 2005 3

A report released in 2002 by the National Institute of Alcohol Abuseand Alcoholism titled, “A Call To Action: Changing the Culture of Drink-ing at U.S. Colleges,” revealed that drinking by college students age 18-24contributed to an estimated 1,400 student deaths, 500,000 injuries, and 70,000cases of sexual assault or date rape each year. “The harm that college studentsdo to themselves and others as a result of excessive drinking exceeds whatmany would have expected,” says lead author Ralph W. Hingson, SC.D., Pro-fessor of Social Behavioral Sciences and Associate Dean for Research at Bos-ton University’s School of Public Health. “Our data clearly point to the needfor better interventions against high-risk drinking in this population.”

The NIAAA’s National Advisory Council convened a task force con-sisting of more than 36 college presidents, scientists and students to con-duct a comprehensive review of research on college drinking and effortsto curb it. Its findings appear in the March 2005 issue of the American Jour-nal of Public Health. Among its discoveries is that most students drink mod-erately or even abstain, with the percent of non-drinkers rising from 15%to 19% between 1993 and 1999. But it also discovered that there has been adramatic increase in the extreme forms of college drinking. There was evi-dence that something like 20% of college students consume 70% of all thealcohol consumed by college students. According to the Task Force re-search, “Drinking rates were highest among incoming freshmen, males,members of fraternities and sororities, and althletes.”

The study then focused on prevention efforts to see what was and was noteffective. The following were deemed to be effective: combining cognitive-behavior skills with norms clarification; brief motivational interventions, andaltering students’ expectations about the effects of alcohol. Also found to beeffective were enforcement of of minimum drinking age laws, restrictions onalcohol retail outlet density around campuses, and responsible beverage ser-vice policies. Promising steps listed included the reinstatement of Friday classesand exams, alcohol free living environments, “Safe Ride” programs, regula-tion of “happy hours,” and consistent enforcement for alcohol policy viola-tions. The Task Force reported interventions that rely entirely on providinginformation about problems related to risks from drinking as “Ineffective.”

The alcohol culture that pervades so many of our college campusestoday is at the root of all too many tragedies. The assumption that exces-sive drinking is the “norm,” coupled with the sense of immortality andthat nothing bad can happen to us when we are young, is a dangerousand, unfortunately, sometimes lethal mixture. Nationwide, Greeks repre-sent about 8% of the student population and studies have shown that themajority of our members either drink responsibly or even abstain, but evengood people can, on occasion, make bad choices. Those who do drink irre-sponsibly on a more regular basis are truly causing us great difficulty, notonly in the reputation for drinking but in terms of the dysfunctionalbehavior that their drinking is causing. Vandalism, destruction of chap-ter property and the pain and suffering visited on the rest of the broth-erhood and sisterhood are just some of the consequences of this behav-ior. It is past time for such behaviors to be confronted. There is an oldsaying that the world will never be in danger from those who do evilbut, rather, from the good people who allow them to do it, even if thosewho are doing evil or simply making a bad choice are fraternity broth-ers or close friends and maybe especially if they are.

Inside the Quarterly

I am enjoying being DeltaChi’s 49th “AA”. In the sixplus months since I was

elected, I have been on the roadvisiting with chapters andalumni and representing theorganization for official events.I thoroughly enjoyed beingback in Manhattan, Kansas forthe 10th anniversary of theKansas State Chapter ’sChartering. As a youngDirector of Expansion, I helpedto start that Chapter in 1992,and this was my first trip backthere. I also was able toparticipate in the initiation ofthe Founding Father class at

his 21st birthday, and somereports said he did around 15shots. This was just one ofseveral alcohol-related deathsthat occurred on collegecampuses last fall. A numberof them involved members ofthe Greek system. When willcollege students learn thatthey are not indestructible?When will they learn that theirchoices can dramaticallyimpact their lives and the livesof others? That realizationsimply MUST happen soon. Ifour undergraduate membershad to place a phone call to thegrieving parents of a lost

alumnus who thought closingthe chapter was too severe anoutcome for their ONEtransgression. When I told himthe Chapter had THREEtransgressions during the fallsemester, he was surprised.And he was on their ABT. DeltaChi had no choice. The drugraid a week later, after localauthorities had been able topurchase marijuana in thehouse, confirmed our decision.

Delta Chi is my favoritecollege fraternity, but it is notyet the BEST college fraternity.We are working on it. TheBoard of Regents is developing

skills learned, friendshipsmade, and experiences had.We need you to be involvedwith a local chapter or alumnigroup. Don’t assume thatthings are fine at your chapteror at the chapter just downthe road; go see for yourself.Your involvement just mighthelp prevent what has beenhappening at all too manychapters like the threementioned above. We alsoneed you to support DeltaChi with annual gifts, and weneed you to consider thisorganization in your futurefinancial plans. Resourceswill help us become the bestcollege fraternity in NorthAmerica. We can’t do itwithout our members.

It is good to be the “AA”.I was once told that the mostimportant power a leader hasis the power to ask for help. Iam asking for all of ourmembers to help us becomethe best college fraternity inNorth America. I am askingthe alumni to get involved ina local chapter or colony.Spending time mentoringand advising young men hasgreat rewards. To be the bestwill take some time, but DeltaChi will be better off for theeffort. Please contact me [email protected] with yourthoughts and suggestions.

Fraternally,

the Marshall Colony. That wasa real treat for me. In addition,presenting the charteringproclamation to the newGeorgia Southern Chapter wastruly an honor. Working with theother board members andexecutive committee membersas well as meeting alumni andundergraduate members – I amthrilled every day to be a leaderin this great organization.

I will tell you that it hasn’tall been rosy. On Saturday,November 21st I placed atelephone call to Steven Judd’sfather in El Paso, Texas. Steven,the “A”-elect of our NewMexico State Chapter, died theday before from alcoholpoisoning. He and a group offriends went out to celebrate

brother, as our New MexicoState brothers did, I think therealization would hit themsooner rather than later.

In addition, in the span ofjust a few weeks in January ofthis year, Delta Chi lostchapters at Eastern Illinois,Western Illinois, andWhitewater. These chaptersclosed for a variety of reasons,EACH of which can be tracedback to the choices themembers made. In every case,Delta Chi did all that it coulddo to keep these chapters open.We relied on the members tomake good choices and to dowhat was necessary. But evengood people can make badchoices. In the case ofWhitewater, I talked to an

action items as a result of astrategic planning processundertaken over the past fewyears. With the involvement ofleaders from last year ’sPresident’s Cup chapters, weare working toward theimplementation of aninternational service projectthat will be unveiled at the 2006Convention. And a committeemade up of board members andundergraduates is searching forways to improve the Conventionexperience for all whoparticipate. We look forward tosharing results with ourmembers as we move forward.

I was recently asked aboutour image as an organization.My response was that ourimage is our members – bothundergraduate and alumni. Ifwe are to become the bestcollege fraternity in NorthAmerica, it is going to take aconcerted effort of ourmembers to get us there.Undergraduates need toconfront the inappropriatebehavior of their peers. Theyneed to fight againstmediocrity and strive to begreat. These are choices thatmust be made in order to runtheir chapters in a manner thatbreeds success. Alumni needto reflect on what thisorganization has meant tothem in their lives in terms of

On August 15, 2004, my lipsuttered the scripturalverse known as the Suscipe

quoted above. These words werea clear signal to the Benedictinemonks of my community that Iwas professing monastic vows asthey had all done before me, bind-ing me to this particular monas-tery, its monks, and the Rule ofBenedict that governs our lives.Following the pronouncement ofthese words, I laid down freely onthe floor of the Archabbey Churchof Our Lady of Einsiedeln beforethe abbot and the community. Iwas covered with the funeral pall.The pall is the sign of Christiandeath. In my case, it was also asign of dying that I might rise tothis new life. The placement of thepall is a stark symbol that caughtmany of my family and friendswitnessing the profession offguard, including a good numberof my fraternity brothers. But ittells the story, in one way, of whatI think about the importance ofcommon beliefs among brothers.This time, the story was told withmy monastic brothers. It was notunlike the previous time, with myfraternity brothers in 1995, and inthe initiations after that.

On this day, there were a num-ber of people present at SaintMeinrad Archabbey where monkshave been gathering for just over150 years to do the Opus Dei, thework of God, the prayer of theChurch for the Church and for theworld. I often reply simply to myfriends when they ask me what I dofor a living. I could say, “I am a bee-keeper, a retreat master, a spiritualdirector, a dishwasher, a breakfastcook, a snow remover, a philan-thropist, a student, a teacher, a chap-lain, a choir member, a confrere, acaretaker, a pastoral counselor.”Instead, I reply, “I pray for you be-fore you’re out of bed in the morn-ing. That’s my job.”

While a Delta Chi officer atNorthwest Missouri State Univer-sity, I had the great privilege for anumber of years to give the lasttalk at our formal recruitmentfunction. Sitting before me werethe men we were inviting into ourway of life to become part of theBond of Delta Chi. “If you believein something, you live it. Then youlearn to love it. Then you can teachit. Live, love, and teach.” Live, love,and teach have been penned backto me from some of my fraternitybrothers. I had no idea that I washelping them out or that they werehearing me. These words havecome in the form of a scribbledthank you note, an email, a phonecall, or a face-to-face visit when Ihave heard,“Do you re-m e m b e rwhen yousaid…?”

D e l t aChi chal-lenged me to live in a particularway. I chose to incorporate our tenbasic expectations in my style ofleadership and in living with oth-ers who do not always share thesame values and merit as DeltaChi. I learned to see how voicescan mingle in a way that set ourhearts aglow, bound together in aparticular way as thousands havedone before us in Delta Chi sinceOctober 13, 1890, as even morehave done since the founding ofthe Flat Hat Club at the College ofWilliam and Mary in 1750, asBenedictine monks have donesince around the year 540. Just as Imingled my voice with my broth-ers in the Bond, so I mingle myvoice with my brother monks eachday, praising God and commend-ing the world, once again, to Hisdivine mercy.

As an undergraduate, I lovedwhat I was doing in Delta Chi andwhat Delta Chi gave me the cour-

age to do in my own life, in mychapter, on campus, and for theinternational organization. Peoplesaw me living and loving what Iwas doing and often joined me inmy zeal for our way of life. Theytrusted enough to join me in theadventures of the House Corpora-tion, renovating a house, recruitingnew members, re-recruiting oldmembers, taking responsibility forfinances, and making a name for ourfraternity on campus and in the city.

To teach, one must be a goodstudent. Delta Chi assists in theacquisition of a sound educationfor those willing to do the work.For those not willing to do what ittakes to finish the endeavor of auniversity education, no amount ofassistance by a fraternity or anyoneelse will accomplish the goal forthem. Time and again, I have wit-nessed how Delta Chi, especially atNorthwest Missouri, has indeeddone its share in forming educatedleaders during their college years.Once graduated, at their best, these

leaders takewhat theyhave beengiven intheir under-graduateyears andapply it in

their careers and the organizations towhich they belong as civic leaders.

As a monk I continue to sharein the lives of my fraternity broth-ers. This relationship, although Iam far away from most of them, isunique. Our paths continue tocross as I hear about their joys andsorrows. Lately, a number of fra-ternity brothers have called toshare the newsthat they are ex-pecting their firstchild. They askme for prayers. Icongratulate themand add them tothe list of peoplefor whom I pray.Then I hang upthe phone with asmile and wish Icould have toldhim who else isexpecting a first child

“Uphold me, O Lord, according toyour promise, and I shall live anddo not confound me in my expec-tation.” – Suscipe

Editor’s Note: At his chapter,Michael Vinson held thepositions of “A”,”B”, AMCand was a RegionalConference Coordinator.

“As a monk I continue toshare in the lives of myfraternity brothers.”

But, as with him, that news wastold to me in confidence. Sothat’s not my place.

Living the monastic way of lifechallenges me to live my life in aparticular way, making my way“along the road, my heart expand-ing with the inexpressible delightof love” (Prologue, Rule of SaintBenedict). Some may think it is aradical way of living life; for me itis my vocation, my job. To live ina cloister has its challenges, as anyway of life can. Persevering in avocation is more than just doingthe work. It is more than experi-ence upon experience. Living lifefully requires reflection on the ex-periences of our lives, to reflect onwhat seems to be ordinary anddecide how your experience fitsinto the world’s experience.

The Kingdom of God is at hand.We live in the Kingdom of God. Ei-ther we choose to believe in this,what some call God’s providence,or not. If we choose somethinggreater than our own experience,the value of common bonds is evermore a radical understanding ofexperience. The first Christians un-derstood this and lived this. Monksthroughout the centuries have donethis. Brothers in the Bond of DeltaChi continue to do this in a particularway. We understand how the eventsin our lives provide a connection sothat we can see beyond the distrac-tions that can take the place of whatwe are to be doing, of living reflectivelyin bonds of faith, hope, and charity.

CAMPUS SCENE

ALBERTAWe won this year ’s Delta

Gamma Anchor Splash, improv-ing on last year’s second placefinish and ousting the previoussix-time champions and placedsecond our first time in Kappa Al-pha Theta’s ABC Head Start Run.New for us were the AlphaGamma Delta’s Greek Games.We also defended our champion-ship in the IFC Greek God andGoddess event. Our lead was es-tablished by an amazing dancenumber and secured by amultitalented band. To round outa near-complete Delta Chi domi-nance in interfraternal events, westill have to defend our champi-onship in the PanhellenicSongfest later this year.

We have also had success withour 7th annual We Want YourPants clothing drive. We col-lected more clothes than last year,in large part due to the efforts ofStephan Cherwoniak and ChrisSandstra. Proceeds went to theGeorge Spady Homeless Shelter.As always, success is driven bybrotherhood, epitomized thisyear by our initiation of 14 mem-bers. Xi was the largest classsince our Founding Fathers.Spearheaded by Kris Perlinski,their own philanthropy eventraised an astounding $1,000 inonly 16 hours! Called Wearing

Breasts for Cancer, the event hadbrothers wearing stuffed bras tosupport breast cancer research,bringing media attention to theissue in campus newspapers inCanada and the U.S.

Our chapter has been revital-ized by a move to a new chapterhouse that is almost twice as largeas our previous one. The movehas allowed more brothers andfriends to enjoy the chapter andhas helped in generating interestfor rush. Social events held thissemester included a Kappa AlphaTheta Halloween exchange, oursecond annual Shut Up and Grindparty, and an informal Alpha Psiexchange held during rush.

ALABAMAWe welcomed fifteen initiates,

representing the largest fall classwe have had in a few years. Wehave effectively doubled in sizeas a result of hard work over thepast year. A few renovationprojects have been completed onthe house, and a few more are inprogress. We also held our firstannual Fall Cocktail on Novem-ber 6th before the game vs. Mis-sissippi State. This event wassuccessful in raising funds forfurther renovations.

APPALACHIAN STATEThis year we placed in more

events than any other fraternityon campus, completely dominat-ing in intramurals, Homecoming,and Greek Week. We grabbedfirst place in the Homecomingfloat contest by building a two-story steamboat with a paddle

and a smokestack that actuallysmoked. We also placed first inthe Chi Omega softball tourna-ment with an undefeated recordand again came in first with theGreek Week flag football title bycase of the slaughter rule. In themost respected competition oncampus, “Greek Week Lip Sync,”we placed first in choreographyand second overall.

This year also marks a bench-mark in fundraising due in largepart to our fundraising chair J.P.Carlin’s new campaign. We alsoraised money from the annualalumni golf tournament and apoker competition run by our as-sociates. As to social events, weare still having three to four mix-ers a semester with the sororities.

ARIZONA STATEWe’re wrapping up our first

semester in our new on-campushousing at Adelphi II and con-tinue to make improvements toour chapter room and commonareas. This fall we initiated 25 ofthe 34 men who were offered bidsand our intramural football teammade the playoffs. In November,we held our first philanthropysince our reestablishment, “DeltaX-Games, “ which was a phe-nomenal success. Proceeds ben-efited the Phoenix Children’s Hos-pital. We would like to thank our“BB” Klayton Roark ’03 and ScottDavis ’94, as well as his staff atTessio’s Pizza for their support.

AUBURNThis year we have already

participated in a blood drive andpumpkin painting with theproject uplift kids.

We achieved the 3rd highestGPA amongst the fraternities andalso received a top All-Sportsaward. We have been blessedwith a great new housemother,Charlotte Danielson, who has al-ready started making positivechanges within our chapter.

We held our annual Lake/Rush party at the Newell family’slake house and we had a hugeturnout for our Halloween cos-tume party. We also started anew tradition, our Sunday SkeetShooting Club.

Our turnout of alumni forfootball games has greatly in-creased this year, especially athomecoming. Also, we wouldlike to thank the Newell familyand Mike Carroll for their over-whelming support this semester.

AUGUSTAThis fall, we celebrated our

first White Carnation since 2000.It was a great success!

prior to the start of school, andmuch success came from that.

We went to our first playoffin intramural sports. “B” JoelDePaoli organized our first ex-change with Sigma Alpha Epsi-lon Pi, with several others in theworks. Our ABT has been es-tablished, and ABT PresidentChase Armer, Sacramento ’00,has been working hard to helpensure our success.

FROSTBURGOur annual “Delta Chi Lip

Sync” competition is the biggestsocial event held on campus. Wewere able to raise over a thou-sand dollars in that one night. Incommunity service, we have con-sistently been on the front linesof Greek involvement. We werethe only full fraternity to partici-pate in the cleanup of our little

city after a big homecomingweekend and the only fraternityto volunteer in running and op-erating the most recent blooddrive held at our university. Weare currently organizing awomen’s self-defense seminar tobe held on campus as well. Wehave cleared ourselves of all out-standing debt and are now on theright track to progress. There aremore accomplishments such asthese; however, we feel that oneof the most impressive is our re-cent victory in the intramuralflag football season.

For the first time in almostthree years, Delta Chi was ableto knock out the three-year un-defeated champions to capturethe championship for ourselves.It was a very tough season, but,in the end, we finished as cham-

guished alumnus and renownedneuro-psychologist MarkMapstone back to the house fora reception in his honor. In thepresence of his friends, family, aDean of Hobart College and hisfraternity brothers, Mark was of-ficially presented the Distin-guished Alumnus award that hewon at the Convention this year.The Hobart Chapter of Delta Chiis extremely proud of Mark andthe work that he continues to doat the University of Rochester’sAlzheimer’s Disease Center.

ILLINOISThis semester is the first time

in over eighty years that we havenot had a house in which to live.As many of you know, our houseis undergoing a full renovationthat will repair the exterior of thehouse and renovate the entire in-terior. Despite not having ahouse, our active members havecontinued our philanthropy con-tributions, brotherhood eventsand campus presence.

We have participated in nu-merous philanthropy events in-cluding Delta Gamma AnchorSplash, Alpha Gamma Delta Wa-ter Wars, Camp Alpha Chi and acharity golf outing hosted byGamma Phi Beta. We have alsocontinued our relationship withthe Swann Special School Center.Some of our activities with theSwann School include taking thechildren bowling, playing sportsand games, and helping withtheir weekend church services.For many of the events, we in-vited sororities to come and help,such as Gamma Phi Beta, AlphaChi, and Alpha Delta Gamma.

We have also had some greatbrotherhood events this season.Early in the semester we had agroup tubing event at theKikapoo River and a campingtrip at a nearby campground.

We hosted a large homecom-ing gathering in the front yard ofour house for our alumni follow-ing the game. On that Friday,

paired with the women of AlphaDelta, we entered a float in theHomecoming parade.

This fall we were especiallyproud to have John Fakhouryelected President of IFC, and CharlieBollinger was elected Vice Presidentof Risk Management.

The entire renovation of thehouse exterior has been com-pleted, and the interior renova-tion is just now beginning. Ouractive members are very excitedfor the completion of our housenext year and appreciative of ouralumni’s continuing support.

JOHNSTOWNWe started out this year with

a bang and hosted a beach partyand gathered food to benefit theJohnstown food bank the firstweekend of school. Once again,on homecoming we had our an-nual pig roast with the alumni.

We also are continually improv-ing our financial status and plan tobe out of debt in the coming months.We are proud to declare that we wonGreek week for the third year in arow and are determined to make ita fourth, next semester.

KANSASWe hosted our annual Christ-

mas Party with the women ofGamma Phi Beta for the childrenof the Lawrence Boys and GirlsClub. By providing gifts to thechildren we made a holiday thatmight not have been otherwisepossible for them. We are alsomaking preparations to host our2nd Annual Kaw River Carnival.Expectations are high, and weplan to improve upon the successof last year’s inaugural event. Allproceeds from the carnival willbe donated to our philanthropy,The Brook Creek Learning Center.

We also participated in thePre-Holiday Intramural Bas-ketball Tournament. Another

achievement being trumpetedby the Chapter is our 2nd placefinish in the annual Homecom-ing Float Parade.

Alumni relations have alsoremained strong. Mark Mitchell’74 spearheaded an effort to holda thirty-year reunion for themembers of his class on Novem-ber 13th. Also invited werealumni from the classes of ’72through ’76. After brunch andconversing with the undergradu-ates, they joined us in attendingthe KU vs. Texas football game.

Finally as the semester closed,we held one of our most antici-pated brotherhood events, the“Secret Santa” gift exchange.

men were initiated as brothers.Furthermore, several young andworthy men, who had been spot-ted as prospective associate mem-bers, were handed out bids.

Alpha Sigma Alpha joined usfor a social get together after theHay Ride had to be cancelled dueto bad weather. Nevertheless,they had a great time cookingmarshmallows and making hotchocolate, along with indoorgames of “Texas Hold’em” and“Truth and Dare Jenga.”

We won the highest GPA withan average of 89% this year. Fi-nally, the hard work and sincereeffort that our brothers had col-lectively put in had borne fruit.New scholarship-relatedprojects regarding study ses-sions at the house are currentlybeing discussed.

Our chapter retreat held atCamp Holaka in Lapeer, MI wasalso attended by some of ouralumni. Unfortunately, MotherNature wasn’t on our side, andit rained heavily during the firstnight. From then on, card gamesand setting up the fireplace werethe two most occupying tasks.

The following day thebrothers set out to explore thewoods and, as expected, werelost. Finding the way back wasan adventure in itself. Thefootball game between thealumni and the brothers was,as usual, a treat to watch.

LIVINGSTONEven though our chapter is

small in numbers, we still packa very big punch in our schooland our community. In Octoberwe held our annual “Delta ChiHaunted House,” with proceedsgoing to benefit the SunshineKids Mentoring Program. Dur-ing the haunted house, the fra-ternity property is turned into avery scary place through all ofthe work that the brothers andassociates do during the monthof October. We also held a soft-ball tournament to benefit St.Jude’s Children’s Hospital.

Every semester the fraternityworks at the Talladega. The tripis always a great time with manygreat bonding experiences.

We currently hold the cham-pionship for Tug-of-War and

won many smaller events heldthroughout the year. Duringintramurals, Delta Chi Team 2went to the championship gameafter defeating all of the topteams during the regular season.Their record was 7-3.

During the past year, severalrenovations have been made tothe house. These include a freshcoat of paint on the inside walls,a new deck, a new volleyballcourt, a new meeting table forthe conference room, and, afterHurricane Ivan’s wrath, newdoors for the front of the house.

Indian Party is coming upin April , along with theAlumni versus Active softballgame held every Saturday dur-ing the weekend-long celebra-tion that is full of lots of foodand fun for everyone.

LOUISIANA TECHWe recently inducted 14 new

members. These new membershelped to kick off our premierecommunity service project forthe year involving “The Ruston,Louisiana Council on Aging.”An alumnus set up this projectto help teach many local elderlypersons simple computerknowledge and skills. The pro-gram began by acquiring dona-tions of hardware and softwareto assemble six computers. Sincethen, Delta Chi brothers havetaught two-hour lessons onemail use and general computerskills each Wednesday evening.The project has definitely helpedimprove the quality of life of somelocal senior citizens, and their re-sponse has been wonderful.

MARQUETTEThrough our Delta Chi Dol-

lar Days and with the help of ourVice Regent Mark Schramka’s“Cuts for Cancer” program, wehave raised nearly $1,000 forcancer research this semester.All proceeds from our philan-thropy this semester will be do-nated to the St. Jude Children’sResearch Hospital.

On November 20th we heldour annual alumni/active foot-ball game in which the alumniedged the brothers for the win.It was an amazing time of broth-erhood, as we experienced oneof the best turnouts in years. Itwas followed up by an incred-ibly productive ABT meetingwith the chapter’s new executiveboard. This is just one of themany signs that our alumni arenow taking a more active role inour development as a chapter.

Several major projects that weare now working on with ourABT include a professionally de-signed web site atwww.marquettedeltachi.org,steal rod iron letters for ourchapter house and getting theball rolling financially with com-pleting our chapter room.

MARSHALL COLONYOn behalf of the 35 Founding

Fathers at Marshall University,we would like to say that it is ourhonor to join the “Bond of DeltaChi”. In just a few short weekswe gathered an interest groupthat grew to be the third largestfraternity on campus. We havealready carried out communityservice projects such as rakingleaves around town and runninga local blood drive. We foresee abright and promising future hereat Marshall, and we promise todo our best to spread the char-acteristics that make Delta Chi asuccessful fraternity.

We are all proud to be broth-ers of Delta Chi!

MARYLANDWe were chartered in 1990,

and throughout our 15-year his-tory the brothers have lived infive fraternity houses and apart-ment complexes. Unlike mostchapters, we have faced the ad-versity and difficulty of runninga chapter without a steady cen-tral location. We are currently inour third year of renting an off-campus fraternity house that isin a good location but in verypoor condition. Despite the poorcondition of the house and a lim-ited budget, our chapter boastsmany accomplishments.

In February 2004 we hostedthe largest Region IX Conferencein Delta Chi history and won anoutstanding Regional Confer-ence Award. Since then we havedoubled the size of our HouseCorporation, increased alumniinvolvement and donations by50%, and paid off a debt of over$10,000 to Delta Chi a week be-fore the 54th International Con-vention in Washington, D.C.This fall, Nicholas Spiwak re-ceived the IFC outstanding Ex-ecutive Board member award.The outstanding ExecutiveBoard member is one of threeFraternity awards given at theLeadership Ball, representing in-dividuals in the University ofMaryland Greek system whostand out among the rest becauseof their excellence in dedicationand leadership.Marquette brothers at their annual alumni/active football game.

On March 2nd, 2003 BenjaminPetty passed away from a rareblood disease his junior year.The brothers and alumni in-ducted his father, Philip Petty.Following his induction, thebrothers, along with Ben’s fam-ily and friends, created the non-profit group called the “Friendsof Ben Foundation.” Last year,along with the sisters of Zeta TauAlpha, we held the first “Bowl-ing for Benji” duckpin bowlingfundraiser for “Friends of Ben.”We raised over $1,000, and themoney was donated to theEdmondson –Westview Recre-ation Council in BaltimoreCounty in Ben’s honor. By theend of the spring 2005 semester,the brothers and the foundationhope to hold the first annual golftournament in Ben’s name. Weare also planning a Greekdodgeball tournament to raisemoney. Money raised from bothevents will be donated to JohnsHopkins Medical Research Cen-ter for research on Hemophago-cytic Syndrome, the disease thatresulted in Ben’s death.

With our goals set and ourminds focused on improving thechapter, we expect to grow insize and spirit. We thank all ofour dedicated alumni and our“BB” Jose Rodas for their dona-tions and their support.

MIAMIWe are proud to report that

even after winning fourteenawards at the Delta Chi Interna-tional Convention, our drive toimprove ourselves and ourhouse has not slowed down but,instead, accelerated. Eventhough we were overjoyed andhonored by the awards, ourgoal is to always improve onwhat we have.

Last semester we placed firstout of over 25 fraternities by do-nating 52 hours of communityservice through various activi-ties, but this semester we im-proved with 106 hours of com-munity service. Our philan-thropy, The Delta Chi BroomballInvitational 2004, was a hugesuccess as a fundraiser for theHabitat for Humanity charity,and we also participated in eightother philanthropies for charity.Scholarship continues to be oneof our strongest points, as an-other one of our members washonored by being invited to jointhe Order of Omega. After plac-ing first in our division in intra-mural sports last semester, weare in the midst of another greatseason. Our Parents’ Weekendand Homecoming weekend hadthe largest turnout we’ve seen,and we’d like to thank all whoattended and also all those whodonated. From alumni dona-tions alone we have enoughmoney to put up a commercialgrade flagpole in remembranceof our former housemother,Evelyn. To improve the look ofour house, one of our projectswas to remove the carpet fromthe high traffic area of our frontcommon room. We installed tile,which really brightens up thelook of our house at the entrance.With our letters outside and newspotlights placed on them andafter having our house re-painted, we are ready for rushto begin as we anticipate an-other great group of qualitygentlemen joining the brother-hood of a lifetime.

MICHIGAN STATEWe have the largest asso-

ciate class on campus, led byVP of Rush Sanel Kostic. All

of our teams made the play-offs , including our unde-feated football team.

MINNESOTAOur house has gone through

some major changes in recentmonths. The exterior of thehouse was given a fresh coat ofpaint, and a rock garden is be-ing built on the side of the house.The interior of the house was notleft out, as every room has beenrepainted, and Wiley Moseleyand Lyle Deepe redid the base-ment floor. We also installednew lighting and ceiling fansin the main room. The houselooks great, and we are excitedto show it off to anyone whowants to stop by.

MISSOURIWe have been very busy

lately, participating in every-thing that comes our way. Theannual Homecoming traditionsof pomping house decorations,building a signature float andproviding service to the commu-nity once again became impor-tant to the chapter. We had anextravagant experience spend-ing time with the other twochapters that were involved inour triad. We are in the processof revamping the MO-KAN phi-lanthropy that existed betweenourselves and the Kansas Chap-ter not too long ago. The mainidea of the MO-KAN process isto run the game ball from the vis-iting stadium to the home sta-dium, in either Lawrence or Co-

lumbia, and raise money foreach mile that we cover.

The house has seen renova-tions to the basement to make itmore appealing, and we re-car-peted the entire house thanks todonations that were collectedfrom the parents of every mem-ber. We also have had some el-egant sofas donated to the up-stairs lounge by one of the activemembers in the house. We lookto continue building on to theMissouri Chapter of Delta Chi.

NEW HAVENOur Associate Class is bring-

ing with it 12 new brothers, dou-bling our numbers. The RedCross Blood Drive, which wesponsor each semester on cam-pus, has been a continuing suc-cess. We once again exceededthe projected goal of usablepints with the support of ourfellow students and faculty.This was our first year partici-pating in the Penguin Plungeto aid and support the SpecialOlympics of Connecticut. Thefreezing cold water was notenough to stop us, nor lessenthe feeling of satisfaction ofhelping those less fortunate.

This year was our 23rd An-nual White Carnation semi-for-mal dance, which was held atThe Inn at Villa Bianca. Over 60brothers, associates and guestswere present to celebrate with usto make it a night to remember.

Intramurals went well, withour volleyball team placing sec-ond. Also, during its first year inexistence, our dodgeball teamplaced second. Both the footballand soccer teams also did well,with both making the playoffs.

Continuing with our traditionof community service, commu-nity service chair AnthonyMadrid did a great job organiz-ing and coordinating our RoadCleanups, River Cleanups, andHalloween fair for an elemen-tary school. The Annual Fami-lies and Youth, Inc. dinner wasagain a success.

Finally, the Fraternity is sad-dened by the recent passing ofour brother, Steven Judd .Steven was our newly elected“A” and had a great passion forDelta Chi. He will be dearlymissed and forever loved.

NORTHEAST MISSOURIThis semester we have not

only seen the addition of five newbrothers to the Bond but alsoplaced second overall in Home-coming, expanded our socialfunctions, and incorporated ahuge new philanthropic eventinto campus’ Family Day.Through our new “Communityon the Quad,” we collected do-

nations from local businesses thatwere then raffled off for dona-tions during a concert put on bybands from all over Missouri.Thanks in part to this event,CASA, an organization designedto assist abused and neglectedchildren, will soon be able to es-tablish itself here in AdairCounty. When combining theseaccomplishments with the cur-rent new house fundraising drivebeing pushed by our ABT,House Corp., and many othercaring alumni, it truly is an ex-citing time to be a Delta Chi atTruman State University!

NORTHWEST MISSOURIFall started off with the ad-

dition of another strong asso-ciate class. When Homecomingrolled around, our success con-tinued as we paired up with theladies of Phi Mu to win “Over-all Parade Supremacy.”

The chapter has dominated inintramurals, taking first place incross country, first in softball forthe second year in a row and win-ning the football championshipfor the past three years.

Our outstanding philan-thropic efforts earned us the IFC“Gavel Award” for contributingover 250 hours of community ser-vice in the first three months ofschool. These activities includedraking leaves for the elderly, “Cat

PURDUEWe have accomplished so

much this year already. How-ever, our greatest accomplish-ment so far is our fourth placeranking in the intramuralsports standings. Our soccerteam led the way to our rank-ing. We played ten games andwon them all. Our last gamewas against Phi Delta Thetaand we won five to one. Ourteam ranked first. We hope tokeep the good news comingand are looking forward to agreat spring semester.

RADFORDIn November, we hosted the

second annual Miss Radford Pag-eant in hopes of raising money tosupport the Cystic Fibrosis Foun-dation in loving memory of a lostbrother – Jon C. Capps. CysticFibrosis is a fatal disease thattakes the lives of many peopleeach year. It is rare for some-one with this disease to makeit past his teens.

Since we started this event, wehave raised just under $1,400 indonations. The ladies of theGreek Community were kindenough to participate as pageantcontestants and as a part of theaudience. Each contestant wasescorted by a brother.

This year, Mary Berger, Jon’smother, was invited to the Pag-eant and was asked to sit on ourpanel of judges. She was kindenough to participate and drove520 miles in one afternoon toshow her support. Mary wasvery proud of us and left inhigh spirits. For those of uswho never met Jon, this gave usa glimpse into his life andbrought him that much closerto our family here at Radford.

RHODE ISLANDCOLONYWe got an early start on recruit-ment by helping freshmen moveinto their dorms and participat-ing in IFC-sponsored Greek rushevents, in addition to our ownevents, such as bowling and anafternoon barbecue. We are ex-cited to welcome the twelvemembers of our third associateclass into the Bond of Delta Chi.

In October, we participated inthe Greek-wide PhilanthropyWeek to raise money for breastcancer research. We took part inthe Family Feud, date auction,bowling tournament, PennyWars, and clothing drive in acombined effort with our team-mates, the sisters of Alpha Phi.We improved our scholasticstanding, rising from seventh tofourth. The move continues atrend that saw us go from elev-enth to seventh the previous se-mester. In intramurals, we re-ceived the Greek IntramuralSports Trophy as the best frater-nity for our combined success infootball, soccer, and floor hockey.

We also sent nearly thirtybrothers to a Boston Celtics gameto end the semester with a greatbrotherhood event. We haveplans in place for the spring forrecruitment and to have our firstalumni initiates as a colony.

SOUTHEAST MISSOURIAfter a successfully planned

fall rush our Chapter was able todouble its size. We initiated tenmen in October, and an equalnumber are ready to becomeDelta Chis in January. Plans forspring rush are already in effect,and we have many more menshowing interest due to the hardwork of the Chapter and its newmembers. These men have the

potential to grow the Chapterand make Delta Chi one of thestrongest chapters on campus.

Homecoming was a total suc-cess. With the help of our “BB”,Jim McCausland, and many oth-ers, we were able to have one ofthe best alumni turnouts in manyyears. There were many newfaces to go along with the oneswe had been used to seeing ev-ery year. Everyone had a greattime building the float, watchingthe parade, barbecuing in thepark, and attending the formalHomecoming dance. Thereseems to be a newfound energywithin our Chapter. Seeing ev-eryone come together to shareold stories and develop a stron-ger Brotherhood made thisHomecoming one to remember.

SOUTHWEST MISSOURILast fall, the Southwest Mis-

souri State Colony experiencedits largest event to date, our char-tering banquet. After being re-colonized at SMS two years ago,the hard work has finally paidoff. With representatives fromDelta Chi in attendance, alumnifrom the old and new chapters,parents and friends all witnessedthe banquet with feelings of joy.The 50 chartering members thathad helped rebuild Delta Chi atSMS were even more surprisedas Raymond Galbreth, ExecutiveDirector, presented our “BB”,Mark Sluss, with the oldchapter’s charter. Notable attend-ees at the banquet were formerRegion IV Regent HamiltonHenderson, current Region IVRegent Jason N. Butler, and Di-

rector of Expansion and ColonyOperations J. Reed Davis. Sinceour return to SMS, we have wonnumerous Striving for ExcellenceAwards from the Greek Life Of-fice, as well as placing 1st in GreekJam, 2nd in Homecoming, andtaking numerous first place tro-phies in intramural sports, not tomention having the 2nd highestGPA out of all fraternities. Alongwith a new charter, the chaptersigned a lease for our first house,held our annual Powder PuffFootball Philanthropy Tourna-ment that raised over $1,000 forthe local Boys and Girls Club andoffered an alcohol awareness pro-gram for the Greek Community.With a storied past at the univer-sity and a fast start to success, theSouthwest Missouri State Chap-ter keeps its goals big and its listof accomplishments long.

SOUTH FLORIDAWe were hoping to have as

much success this fall as we hadin 2003, and with the third larg-est rush on campus of 17 guys,15 of whom we now proudly callbrothers, we are satisfied withour accomplishments. We arenow a 53-man strong chapter,making us the third largest oncampus. Going on our seventhyear at USF, we are becoming aforce to reckon with. We are mov-ing into the spring semester withnew ideas and a greater sense ofthe direction in which we wouldlike to take our chapter.

in numerous events both on andoff campus. We helped AlphaChi Omega raise money for itsphilanthropy by participating inits annual “Mr. Fling” event. Inaddition, we finished second inPhi Sigma Sigma’s philanthropy.We also volunteered for “DomeDonation Days,” an event thathelps the Salvation Army collectfood for the needy across centralNew York. We are continuing toestablish ourselves on campus, es-pecially with the help of our “BB”,Tom Decker, and the tireless workof Eric Jacobsen and Chad Davis,former “A” and our current Pub-lic Relations chair. Davis also be-came the first Delta Chi at Syra-cuse to be elected to the executiveboard of the IFC as the new VicePresident of Internal Affairs. Wealso elected new officers for ourABT, with Joe DeFazio, Fredonia’92, becoming the new president.

This semester will no doubt beequally as busy as we plan tohold our second annual “Chi

Kicks” Kickball Tournament tohelp raise money for underprivi-leged school children. We willalso be hosting the 2005 RegionVII Leadership Conference herein the spring and have been busypreparing for that.

TRI-STATEThe fall started off on a good

note, with the Chapter’s membersreturning to the news of our sixthconsecutive President’s Cup.Then, due to some changes in Uni-versity policy, our rush programhad to be completely revamped.The chapter has been very busywith public relations ranging from“Highway Cleanup” to “Rock theVote” to even helping a local campclose up for the winter. The chap-ter has also been active inintramurals and is on the way toa winning season in basketball.Currently the Chapter is lookingforward to our winter formal,which is set for Dec. 4.

UNLVIn spring 2004, we were named

Intramural Rebel Cup Champi-ons. Then, during fall recruitmentwe were honored with best over-all rush and outstanding RushChairs, Kris Smith and D’AndreDouglas. Together they helped usbring in 19 associates.

To keep the winning streak wewere on going, we also partici-pated in three philanthropyevents. Due to the guidance ofour Philanthropy Chair, John

Piro, we placed in the top five intwo of them and won Alpha XiDelta’s “Xi Man” competition.

RushChairs Ramsay Lanier andFernando Gomez worked hardand eventually pinned seventeenassociate members of the AlphaZeta class. On October 17 weheld the second annualFounders’ Day Banquet, whichinterested Founding Father ScottBayers to fly in from San Fran-cisco, California just for the event.He said that reuniting with theguys who he hasn’t seen in a whilewas the best thing to ever happento him, and to, “…always keepbrotherhood ahead of anything.”

In intramurals we are onceagain the flag football champions,after defeating Theta Chi in over-time with a “Hail Mary” pass intothe end zone for the win. It wasthe classic battle for the rest of theyear on the field that night. Thebrothers also were semi-finalist inindoor soccer, falling short to theEthiopian team for a loss. There isan alumni vs. brothers soccergame and flag football gameplanned soon for next semester.

We ended the year with ahuge party with our Greek

friends, Pi Lambda Phi. It wasthe first time in years in which afraternity has co-hosted a partywith another fraternity; the turn-out was beyond amazing. Wealso joined the whole Greek Com-munity in the 16th annual Hallow-een Watch, in which groups pa-trolled Richmond’s Fan Districtand monitored trick-or-treaters.

Actor Kevin Costner, Ful-lerton ’77, and Dave Strege,Fullerton ’77, shared morethan the common bond ofbrotherhood as membersfrom the Fullerton Chapter.

Little did either know thatthey would hook up again 20years later on a project thatwould mix fishing and celebri-ties and that Costner would beone of the 100 or so celebrities.

Strege, a sportswriterturned outdoors writer for theOrange County Regis ter,came up with an idea abouta book featuring celebrityfishing stories and ran theconcept past Costner in 1996.

The award-winning actor/director didn’t hesitate. Heembraced the idea and castStrege among his peers.

Strege attended celebrityfunctions –- mainly pro-am golftournaments like the Bob HopeClassic and the AT&T at PebbleBeach — and started collectingfishing stories from the stars.

Fishing means a great dealto Costner, and it’s not justabout catching fish. ForCostner, a day on the waterfishing means getting closer tonature, closer to God.

”I feel badly for somebodywho says, ̀ I just don’t get whatfishing is about,’” Costnersays. “I guess you’ve had togrow up with it or something.”

Strege writes narrativelead-ins to introduce the vari-ous chapters. He talks aboutBrad Pitt and the making ofA River Runs Through It , ashark attack, funny gamewarden stories, fishing presi-dents, practical jokes in fish-ing and the one that got away.

The tremendous supportfrom his famous fraternitybrother is not lost on Strege.

”Kevin really gave me thepush I needed to pursue thisone-of-a-kind book,” Stregesays. “Kevin obviously tookgreat pride and detail in mak-ing Dances with Wolves. Youmight say Celebrity Fish Talkis my equivalent, though ona much smaller scale.”

Nearly nine years later, Celeb-rity Fish Talk (Sports PublishingLLC, April 2005, $19.95) has be-come a reality with stories fromthe likes of Samuel L. Jackson,Andy Garcia, Jay Leno, Vince Gill,Tiger Woods, Ted Williams, Gen.Norman Schwarzkopf, BobbyKnight and, of course, Costner.

Costner provides a poeticdescription of fishing in thebook’s foreword, and in onestory talks about surviving hisown Perfect Storm when heworked as a commercial fisher-man off Northern California onesummer during his college days.
