4 Signing off A s the late, great famous Phi Don Meridith used to sing, Turn out the lights, the party s over. As I wrap up my term as President of our great Fraternity, I m proud of the accomplishments of the General Council, Foundation Trustees, our volunteer corp and our outstanding staff. I believe we ve never been in a better position as an organization to continue to lead the way for Greek life in the new millennium. Let me extend a sincere thank you to my fellow Council members the amount of time, effort and dedication they show is truly remarkable. Also, the GHQ staff deserves our gratitude for the important work they do every day. They are the backbone of our organization and we couldn t do what we do without them. I believe our tagline provides a good summary of what we ve done as an organization the past biennium we ve taken steps to become the greatest version. We did this not only through executing our new branding strategy online, but we ve done it through the day-to-day work in our chapters, alumni clubs and the enhanced educational opportunities we are offering our members. Our website s news section is filled with chapters doing amazing things from philanthropy to Iron Phi to community service we are a force for good in our communities. The return to our core values and the implementation of Alcohol-Free Housing has produced overwhelmingly positive results for Phi Delta Theta and the 191 campuses where we exist. We have discovered that many students seek a values-based experience from their fraternity. From 2000, when the policy was fully implemented by all of our chapters until today, we ve experienced a percent increase in the number of new members who join our organization each year. Our total number of undergraduate members has increased percent. More than anything, I believe that by removing alcohol from our facilities, we have been able to focus on things that make us a better organization. While we concentrate a great deal on risk management education, our volunteers and staff no longer regularly focus on incidents involving alcohol. We are now able to broaden our focus to other progressive programming for our members. The recent media coverage of Fraternity binge drinking and hazing shows us how far we ve come, but also demonstrates the ongoing opportunity we have to be a better organization. While we re encouraged that the author, Caitlin Flanagan, of the article The Dark Power of Fraternities mentioned our alcohol-free housing efforts in a positive light in a follow-up article, we need to remain vigilant to maintain the positive momentum we ve seen. That means putting a stop to destructive hazing traditions that add nothing to the undergraduate experience. One last comment before I go. The Foundation recently offered a wonderful experience, hosting a number of prominent alumni from all over the country at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. We honored our three astronauts, Neil Armstrong, F. Story Musgrave and Jon McBride. They are American heroes and we are proud to call them Brothers in the Bond. As I addressed our gathering, the space shuttle Atlantis hung prominently overhead. This wonderful piece of history and aerospace is breathtaking. I couldn t help tie our great American space program and being the preeminent leader in space to all the wonderful accomplishments our fraternity has achieved for over 165 years. I felt such great pride to be an American as well as a member of Phi Delta Theta. I m excited as the next biennium is upon us. I look forward with anticipation and leadership of the next General Council, and am ALWAYS proud to be a Phi! Yours in the Bond, Christopher A. Lapple (California State-Northridge 80) General Council President There is no word in fraternity life accorded more reverence than leadership. Phi Delta Theta has exemplified it. Caitlin Flanagan, The Washington Post 4 Summer 2014

5 Summer Chapter News Club News Chapter Stats Phi Footnotes Phi Sports Pennsylvania Iota Phis Raises $10,000+ to Assist Brother with Paralysis Rehabilitation I n November 2013, the brothers of Pennsylvania Iota at the University of Pittsburgh hosted their inaugural Phiathalon, a philanthropic and a competition-based event designed to promote Greek-wide philanthropy and to raise money for their Brother Peter Brady. During the summer of 2012, Peter Brady was a regular, active college student. He played with the Eden Volleyball Club and had recently finished his freshman year at the University of Pittsburgh. Peter was an ideal student and an active member of Phi Delta Theta Fraternity. However, due to an injury, he has not been able to return to Pitt. The former volleyball standout is now paralyzed from the chest down after severely injuring his neck diving into a friend s pool. Peter had to be airlifted to ECMC, where he remained for several months. Peter is working hard on his recovery, but some days are better than others. He has trouble sleeping sometimes, and when that happens, the next day is very hard for him. For an athlete who could do almost anything, now even lifting his arm is an exhausting process for him. He is very brave, and has a strong desire to return to school and pick up where he left off. But in order for this to happen, the Brady family needs the best rehabilitation personnel and equipment possible. The three-day competition consisted of many events in which participants from various student organizations competed for $5,000 raised by the brothers of Phi Delta Theta to be awarded to the victorious organization s philanthropy of choice. The competitions included ice cooler decoration, banner creation, photo taking contests, restaurant fundraisers, and promotional material sales. Over the course of the event, the brothers were able to reach their goal of $10,000 which they donated to help offset Peter s rehabilitation costs, along with the help of local Oakland businesses. At the event s conclusion, Alpha Delta Pi at the University of Pittsburgh was crowned the first winner of Phiathalon. After being awarded the $5,000 grand prize, to be donated to the Ronald McDonald House, Alpha Delta Pi graciously donated $1,000 of that money back to the brothers of Phi Delta Theta to be donated to the Peter Brady Healing Fund. We are very thankful for all the support from everyone who participated in Phiathalon, and we are very excited to have reached our goal, said chapter president David Moore. The Pennsylvania Iota brothers have received many words of praise for the event and an especially meaningful message from Brother Peter Brady. My brothers at the University of Pittsburgh raised enough money for me to buy an electronic bike that allows me to use my legs. I ve used it about 10 times now and I m already feeling changes in my core and legs. It only took a semester as a brother to understand that One Man is No Man, said Peter Brady. Summer

California State University-Northridge California Zeta 02 This spring, the California Zeta Colony recruited 23 new members, exceeding the number of men recruited by any other fraternity on campus. This is also the largest spring Phikeia class in California Zeta s history! The tremendous improvement is due to a reinvented recruitment plan executed by Recruitment Chairman Matthew James Harvey and a dedicated committee known as the Recruitment Task Force. California Zeta was re-installed May 23, 2014 and it was a great celebration. Dalhousie University Nova Scotia Alpha The brothers of Nova Scotia Alpha worked diligently throughout their fall recruitment period and assembled an outstanding 17-man Phikeia class.

With the addition of the Alpha Lambda Phikeia class, the chapter is now over 50 members strong. Florida Mu hopes to continue its successful recruitment of highly motivated men in the coming semesters. University of Georgia Georgia Alpha For Spring Break 2014, nine brothers of Georgia Alpha embarked on a service trip to Nicaragua 8 Summer 2014 to build houses. The entire idea was hatched by Connor Ratcliffe as a way to give back to those less fortunate. Throughout the fall, Connor planned the trip and recruited eight other Phis to join him. During the trip they stayed in town alongside the villagers and built houses for them for the entire week. The recently re-founded chapter was very supportive of their efforts because it embodies much of what they are striving to be as a renewed Georgia Alpha. Each member was required to pay $1,000, including airfare, food, supplies, etc. Fundraising helped support their trip and all funds raised went straight to supplies for the villagers. Iowa State University Iowa Gamma 05 Dance Marathon holds a special place in the hearts of Iowa Gamma Phi Delts.

Bowling Green State Ohio Kappa 03 A close-knit group of Ohio Kappa alumni have come to play a significant role in the ongoing success of Bowling Green State University s Doyt Perry Florida Classic held in Naples, Florida annually in February. The Classic attracts about two hundred BGSU alumni that are eager to maintain their personal ties, as well as connect with coaches and college administrators. The event is named in honor the late Doyt Perry, Bowling Green s former Head Football Coach and Athletic Director. With Perry at the helm from 1955 through the 1964 season, the BGSU Falcons compiled an impressive record; winning five Mid-American Conference titles and one small college national championship in One of the most successful coaches in NCAA history, Perry was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in Additionally, Bowling Green s Doyt Perry Stadium is named in his honor. More than thirty Ohio Kappa alumni (former BGSU varsity lettermen) attended the two-day event which included a Falcon Greats Dinner Reception, a golf scramble with a 19th Hole sunset gathering at the Country Club of Naples. The Phi contingent included teammates on BG s varsity football, lacrosse, baseball, wrestling, soccer, rugby and swimming teams from 1956 through Among them, Lacrosse All-American and Chairman of the U.S. Lacrosse Foundation, Mike Wilcox, 75, and Ed Phillips, 61, who played on Doyt Perry s BGSU National Championship team. In her keynote speech at the Falcon Greats dinner, University President Mary Ellen Mazey, Ph.D., praised BG s Phi Delta Theta Chapter for sponsoring the 19th Hole reception, and for the Fraternity s tireless efforts at making the yearly gathering such a success. Due in large part to the expert organizational and communications skills of Brother Rick Kappel, 69, a Naples, Florida resident and active alumnus 14 Summer 2014

15 03 Ohio Kappa alumni at the BGSU Doyt Perry Florida Classic, held in February in Naples. supporter of the University, Phi alumni attendance at the Classic has been growing steadily year-by-year. Kappel started spreading the word about the Doyt Perry Florida Classic over the Internet and social media in His hard work paid off attracting Phi alumni to the event from Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Ohio, Maryland, New York, Michigan, Florida, Virginia, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Georgia. Phis that attended the Classic those first few years had a wonderful experience, yet they wanted to take advantage of the event to spend even more quality time together. Kappel began hosting a long weekend of Phi fun and fellowship featuring three rounds of golf at Quail Creek Country Club, pizza buffet at his Naples home, and a dinner at a popular downtown Naples restaurant in the days immediately preceding the BGSU Classic. Some of us are in touch constantly over the internet, while others haven t seen or talked to each other since we were at the fraternity house in Bowling Green, four decades ago or longer. But it doesn t matter. Once we all get together, the laughter and the stories are non-stop, said Kappel. This year attending Phis invited Chris Kingston, BGSU s Athletic Director since July 2013, to play in their fraternity golf outing at Quail Creek CC on Saturday. In his remarks at the BG reception the following evening, Kingston took note of the special bond that existed between the brothers, and how inspired he was by the fact that so many had returned to show their support for BG Athletics. Among the Phis in the audience that night was Atlanta lawyer David Perry, 69, son of Coach Perry, for whom the Classic is named, and Jim Hof, who holds Ohio Kappa Bond #9. I can t say enough about how proud I am of the BGSU Athletics Department and my Ohio Kappa Brothers in the Bond for not only continuing this great tradition, but also making it bigger and better every year. It s a special gift we all can share, Perry said. Toronto Ontario Alpha Round two of chapter house renovations occurred in March and it is proving to be a labor of love. The second annual work weekend focused on the Gold Room and the third floor common area/hallway. Stephen Dooley, 96, shares, the chapter house survived winter ice storms without any power failures. However, we did have some problems with the poorly functioning furnace. Fortunately, Graeme Jannaway, 76, drove to the house and provided an excellent assessment of the problem. Based on Graeme s assessment, Mike Tang, 83, called a heating specialist on short notice and we had a new pump installed right away. Jon Krumins, 01, also took measurements of some old, cracked windows. Our alumni network has been great boon to the fraternity house. Summer

Schneider Jr., 87, VP, Operations Support, San Diego Gas & Electric, Southern California Gas Co.; David Spinelli, 88, Senior Enterprise Architect, Microsoft Services. Auburn Submitted by Mike McNeil, Mercer 11, I work for the Superior Court in Macon. Until last December, my direct boss was Brother Stephen Phillip Brown, 63, Chief Judge of the Macon Judicial Circuit. He recently retired, bringing a close to a very long career of selfless and dedicated work as a public servant. He has been a judge in Macon since 1996, and I really wish our chapter had reached out to him more back when we were active because he s brilliant, funny, and would have made a good ally if our alumni chairs had known he was a Phi. I believe that he spent part of his undergraduate years at both UGA and at Auburn. He remembers fondly his undergraduate days with Phi Delta Theta, and I believe he has made a life of following the principles of friendship, sound learning, and moral rectitude. Bowling Green Phi Delt Alumni from the Ohio Kappa Chapter attended a BGSU Doyt Perry Reception and Golf Outing in Naples, Florida.

DePauw 04 November 2013, six Phis from Indiana Zeta, at the behest of alumnus Pat Aikman, 57, helped plant over 60 trees in the city of Dana, Indiana (Aikman s birthplace). The city s old trees were lost as a result a sewer system overhaul. Mr. Aikman was especially interested in the positive image that having six fraternity men help a cause for which they had no personal stake was important. Mr. Aikman is grateful for the efforts of Chris Hambrick, Travis Rom, Nate Basham, Jake Weeks, Jack Forde, and Johnny McFadden, all undergraduates at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana. Drake 05 James Graham, 78, published a book on the Kennedy family and sailing. He was invited to speak at the JFK Presidential Library and Museum in Boston in May. My interest in sailing started during my school days when I learned this sport with many of my Phi Delt brothers through a sailing class at Drake University that we took together, taught by the parents of brother Bruce Kukowski, 79, says Graham. Victura: the Kennedys, a Sailboat, and the Sea explores the dynamics and magic of the Kennedy family and their intense relationship with sailing and the sea. Many families sail together, but the Kennedys relationship with Victura, the 25-foot sloop purchased in 1932 shortly after the family s move to Hyannis Port, stands apart. Eastern Kentucky 06 Rick Robinson, 80, assisted with an autobiography about America s Got Talent Winner, Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr. From Washing Cars to Hollywood Star.

33 Phi Sports: Head Men s Crew Coach Michael Callahan N ow in his sixth year as the head coach of the Washington men s rowing team, Michael Callahan, Washington Alpha 96, has helped establish the Huskies program as an indomitable force. Last June, the Huskies achieved history by not only winning their 15th National Championship, but also their sixth straight Ten Eyck (team points title), an achievement unseen in collegiate rowing. Callahan has now led the Huskies to two straight National Championships and three in the five seasons in his charge, including a sweep of the eights at the 2009 and 2012 IRAs. The 2012 IRA Regatta saw a perfect sweep by all five Husky boats, capping an undefeated season for the Varsity 8. Since the IRA began hosting five events (varsity eight, second varsity eight, freshment eight, varsity four and open four), no crew had swept all five until the Huskies did it in Prior to taking over the men s coaching position on July 17, 2007, Callahan had a successful three-year run as Washington s freshmen coach. But it s the senior post where Callahan has had an impressive impact. Outside of the 2009, 2011 and 2012 titles, Callahan has also led his program to silver medal finishes in 2008 and The high level of continued achievement on the water has continued to exemplify the standard at Conibear Shellhouse. The Pac-10/12 has continued to recognize Callahan s accomplishments, naming him its Coach of the Year in three of the five seasons he s led the Husky program. A 1996 graduate of Washington, Callahan has also molded the Husky oarsmen into strong characters off-the-water. He embarked on a mission to have his rowers dominate in the classroom as well, and it s shown every season on the Pac-12 All-Academic lists. In 2012, the Huskies had 13 oarsmen selected by the conference, including an impressive eight on the first team. It goes back to our founding principles that we have (in Conibear Shellhouse), that everyone here is performing to their potential level, Callahan said. It s become the ethos to what we do here. In 2008, Callahan s first season as head men s coach, his crews earned IRA gold in both the second varsity eight and the varsity four. Additionally, the varsity eight took home silver. All five Husky boats competed in the grand finals and all five earned medals, giving Washington the Ten Eyck Trophy for being the regatta s team points leader. Callahan recruited several of the athletes in 2007 s championship varsity eight crew. Many of those rowers were members of Callahan s 2006 national champion freshman eight crew. In addition to the gold medal in 2006, his freshman crews collected bronze medals in 2005 and Callahan ended his second season with a bang, coaching the 2009 Huskies to an historic sweep of the eights in the IRA National Championship regatta, becoming the first team to accomplish that feat since Washington last did in The open four also won gold, while the varsity four earned silver. Callahan took over the program after legendary coach Bob Ernst stepped down after winning the 2007 National Championship to Michael Callahan coaching crew on Lake Windermere. coach the Husky women s crew program. I am honored to be selected as the ninth men s head rowing coach at the University of Washington in its storied 106-year history, Callahan declared when he was hired. I couldn t inherit a higher achieving program than the one Bob Ernst is handing over to me. My challenge of living up to the standard of excellence Bob has set for this position is enormous. With the strongest Athletic Department and alumni support for rowing in the country, I am looking forward to working hand-in-hand with Bob as we continue the overall program s goal of being the strongest rowing program in the Pac-10 and the nation. The Husky men s job is Callahan s first head coaching position at the collegiate level. Callahan has also been active on the national level, coaching the United States Under-23 teams in 2005, 2006, 2007 and Callahan graduated with a bachelor s degree in History in While at Washington, Callahan was the Captain and Commodore of the 1996 team. Callahan won four Pac-10 Championships, winning the Ky-Ebright trophy in the Men s Varsity Eight three times. In 1995 and 1996 his crews won a bronze and silver medal in the Men s Varsity Eight at IRA National Championships. Before coming to Washington, Callahan won a gold medal at the 1992 World Rowing Championships in the Junior Men s Eight in Montreal. After graduation, Callahan joined the U.S. Men s National Team, winning a bronze medal in the 1995 Under-23 World Rowing Championships, followed by a gold medal at the 1996 Under-23 World Rowing Championships. He stroked three U.S. National Team boats at the World Championships between 1997 and Callahan was a medalist at the 1999 Pan-American Games and 2000 World Rowing Cup. Callahan was a member of the 2004 Olympic Rowing Team. In 2001 Callahan joined the University of Washington rowing program as an intern coach. He had specific responsibilities to coach the junior varsity eight that won a silver medal at the IRA National Championships and the men s pair without coxswain that won a gold medal. While growing up, Callahan lived with his family in six states, including Washington while his father was stationed at Bangor as a U.S. Navy Submarine Captain. Callahan attended seventh grade at Fairview Junior High School in Silverdale, Wash. His parents reside in Arlington, Va. and his sister, Megan, is a physician in Boston, Mass.

38 Summer Online Learning How to: Pay off Your Student Loans Fraternity News: Staff Changes Kenneth M. Jastrow II, Texas 69 Jay V. Ihlenfeld, Purdue 74 Building on the Bond Campaign Update P hi Delta Theta members are known for their ability to lead and shape the world. Many individual members lead corporations, serve in government, and achieve much in their communities. But for two Phi Delts, their leadership is about others, which is why when they made their commitments to the Building on the Bond Campaign, they were directed toward the greatest impact on the greatest amount of brothers: unrestricted discretionary funds and leadership development. Brother Kenny Jastrow: $500,000 for general support. Founders Room at GHQ named. There is really one word that describes Brother Kenny Jastrow II, Texas 69: vision. From his career as CEO and CFO of Temple-Inland, Inc. Kenny has an uncanny knack for seeing the big picture and knowing how to bring together the details that realize this vision. He brought this ability to the Phi Delta Theta Foundation as a Trustee and has been invaluable in guiding the efforts of endowment management. Perhaps it is no surprise then that when Kenny made his commitment to the Building on the Bond Campaign, he gave a gift that was comprehensive in nature an unrestricted gift. Kenny and his wife, Susie, have committed $500,000 to be used at the discretion of the executive leadership to advance the goals of Phi Delt This generous gift will be used to build on our leadership programs, bolster expansion, and give the Fraternity the flexibility to respond to new opportunities as they arise. In appreciation for the generosity of Kenny and Susie, the Founders Room at General Headquarters has been named in their honor. Brother Jay Ihlenfeld: $500,000 to grow PDTU into Ihlenfeld University of Online Education For Brother Jay Ihlenfeld, Purdue 74, he leads through developing others to lead. As Senior Vice President, Asia Pacific for 3m, he was responsible for shaping 14 3m subsidiaries into high-performing cross cultural teams. With a combination of tenacity and finesse, Brother Ihlenfeld brought 38 Summer 2014

39 together countless people from different cultures and taught them how to work together. It is no surprise, then, that when Jay was invited to support the Building on the Bond Campaign he chose to direct his giving toward leadership development through online education. This spring, Jay and Cynthia Ihlenfeld committed $500,000 to establish the Ihlenfeld University of Online Education. The online university will connect Phis across North America as they learn how to lead their chapters. It will also create a community of leaders, each with different styles and ways of doing business a skill that is ever-important in our global environment. From Jay s words below, it is clear that he and Cynthia are leading the way in providing Phi Delta Theta with the tools to break away from the pack, as Jay says, and be the premier example of leadership in the fraternal world. Why did you make this financial gift to Phi Delta Theta? I strongly support the direction and initiative of the Fraternity in providing the best possible education and leadership training for undergraduates and alumni volunteers. I had the opportunity to join all or part of both the Kleberg Emerging Leaders Institute and Presidents Leadership Conference this past year. I was deeply impressed with the quality and content of both programs and the passion of alumni volunteers in conducting them. The participants were highly engaged and very thoughtful in their participation. During my career, leadership development was always seen as an important element of employee development, so I paid a lot of attention to it and participated in it regularly. What the Fraternity is doing through the Leadership and Ethics Academy is exactly in line with building the leadership skills and ethical perspective that companies are looking for in their new employees and ultimately in their leaders. Our recent member survey has shown that increasingly people want to join Phi Delta Theta to develop their leadership potential and increase their networking opportunities in addition to the sense of community developed by the social aspects of fraternity life. Phi Delta Theta has responded by providing an important training and experiential opportunities beyond what is taught by the university. With our gift we want to simply do our part to support, grow and continually improve these important initiatives that make Phi Delta Theta distinct. What do you hope to help PDT accomplish with your support? From my experience, online education is an important adjunct to the many programs comprising the Leadership and Ethics Academy. Online tools enable immediate and recurring access to training materials, provide capabilities for live online seminars and facilitate networking. With online tools like PDT U: Online Education, the hard work done and being done to build and strengthen the Academy programs will be leveraged to broader audiences than can be accommodated at in-person conferences and meetings. Moreover, messages and content will be more consistent. We believe that our gift will help accelerate the deployment of the many training activities driven by the international leadership of Phi Delta Theta. What message do you have for your Phi Delt brothers about giving? Although many of us may not have fully realized it at the time, being a part of Phi Delta Theta as undergraduates had a positive impact on our careers and life after graduation. The values of Phi Delta Theta are as relevant today as they were when written so many years ago. Providing financial support and volunteer effort to local chapters remains important, but having seen the power of strong leadership and direction taken by our General Council and Headquarters staff, clearly we need to support both levels. The synergy is amazing. Why are you proud to be a Phi? Phi Delta Theta had an important and lasting influence on my life and career. I believe that being a Phi Delt made me a more effective business person and I am proud to tell that to others. Phi Delta Theta has broken out ahead of the pack in recent years and will achieve a pre-eminent position amongst college fraternal organizations in North America. I am very impressed with the personal character and enthusiasm of the active brothers and alumni I have met recently. This is all exciting and I am proud to be a part of it. We need to sustain this momentum and build on it. Online Learning Phi Delta Theta had an important and lasting influence on my life and career. I believe that being a Phi Delt made me a more effective business person and I am proud to tell that to others. Jay Ihlenfeld If you have ever started a new corporate job, chances are you experienced some form of online onboarding or compliance training. These online programs are an effective and efficient means to provide baseline and continuing education to employees. It is Phi Delta Theta s mission to provide educational and training experiences that help our undergraduates to not only become leaders at their institutions, but also become the greatest version of themselves after college as well. Therefore, our educational programs are created from corporate training models and the best practices of the training and development industry. A significant portion of this shift is into online learning. Through our new online learning platform, PDTU, Phi Delta Theta is able to exponentially expand its educational outreach for undergraduates and alumni. In fact, if you look at the Phi Delt 2020 Strategic Plan, you ll see that our goal is to educate over 44,000 members through online learning by the year Once the plan s vision is completely realized in the fall of 2014, PDTU will be the home for Online Phikeia Education, Chapter Officer Certification, and Chapter Advisory Board Certification. In addition, on-demand programs such as video tutorials, event planning presentations, and other skills training programs will also be offered to all members of Phi Delta Theta. The goal of PDTU is to put the best possible training and onboarding programs at the fingertips of our members, whether they are using a computer, tablet, or phone. This will not only better prepare men for their PDT roles, but it will also prepare them for afuture onboarding and compliance programs in their professional lives. Summer

40 Pay off Your Student Loans By Sharon Young, Strategic Communications Intern N othing screams, welcome to the real world, like managing the stress of starting or looking for a job, moving away from what was your home for the past four years, and on top of that, dealing with the looming student debt that you ve likely piled up since the first day of freshman year. According to Project on Student Debt, seven in 10 college seniors who graduated last year had student loan debt with an average of $29,400 per borrower. While paying off student loans may seem like an uphill battle now, there are three key steps that every graduate with debt should follow in order to pay it off and quickly. 1. Assess all of your debt: List your loans from highest to lowest interest rates. It will probably list credit card debt first, followed by private loans and finally federal loans. This is the order in which you should tackle 40 Summer 2014 your debt in order to avoid the extra weight of heavy interest costs. Although you ll want to pay off your highest interest loans first, still continue to keep in mind the payment due dates for all of your loans. 2. Make a payment plan: If you haven t done so already, make a budget for your current expenses. Work all loan and debt payments into your budget and note what your minimal payment will be for each loan each month. 3. It s not about how much you WANT to pay; it s how much you CAN pay: Don t be nervous to address what appears to be a mountain of student debt head on, the sooner you conquer this debt, the sooner you can put your money towards where you need it most. Now, embrace your debt-free mindset, Class of 2014, and good luck! Read the full, unabridged version of this article here, phide.lt/1lwztik.

It was also the year that famous Phi architect Frank Lloyd Wright s mistress and seven others were murdered by his employee, who burned Wright s home and studio to the ground The home of the Ford Model T is now an abandoned factory complex along busy Woodward Avenue, but Ford is still making automobiles, and is celebrating 50 years of the Mustang pony car.

45 KNIGHTS OF PALLAS growth: $30,800 raised: two chapters reach 100% participation U ndergraduate giving in 2013 boldly moved forward by raising $30,800. This was accomplished through a matching gift from Foundation Trustee Brother Jeff Love, Vanderbilt 71, and a 12% growth in dollars from undergraduates. Two chapters Oklahoma Gamma (Southwestern Oklahoma State) and Arizona Alpha (University of Arizona) achieved 100% chapter participation. This was important for our chapter because it showed our growth and perseverance, said Michael Abrhamson, president of Arizona Alpha, when asked why his chapter made it their goal to reach 100%. Many members of our chapter benefit from Phi Delt scholarships so it s a great feeling to be able to give back. It s simple, said Adam Graham, president of Oklahoma Gamma. People need to think of others. There are people in need and supporting them is part of being a good citizen. Oklahoma Gamma reached 100% participation first, which means they received the knight trophy. We are especially proud of both chapters and all student donors who, at a time when their own resources were limited, gave generously. Thank you. Adam Graham, Oklahoma Gamma 16, led his chapter to 100% participation in the 2013 Knights of Pallas student giving campaign.

47 Our Brother Drew Dropbox leader Drew Houston found leadership lessons in Phi Delta Theta By: Rob Pasquinucci T his past April, Drew Houston announced Dropbox, the cloud storage giant he founded, had 275 million users, with more signing up every second. Dropbox is the toast of Silicon Valley, and its founder is (literally) a tech rock star appearing in Forbes and Fast Company regularly. Not bad for a company Houston (pronounced House-ton, like the New York street) dreamed up after realizing he was missing his USB drive while waiting for a bus, and especially amazing considering just a few years ago, Drew was just another Massachusetts Gamma brother, playing video games at the chapter house. But Phi Delta Theta was more than a place to play Super Smash Brothers and hang out for Houston his talented Phi chapter brothers pushed him, and being a chapter leader helped him develop the leadership skills that he uses today to run a $10 billion company. Our chapter at MIT was filled with some pretty amazing people, Houston says. They were my first role models for leadership and to this day are some of my closest friends. I learned a lot just by being part of the group. His chapter brothers feel the same way, and appreciate that Drew has remained close to the guys he knew at MIT. (While at MIT) he didn t come off as different, Joe Audette, MIT 05 says. And today, he s still the same guy. You d have no idea he s a tech billionaire. He s still our brother Drew. Chris Simeone, MIT 05, one of Houston s pledge brothers, agrees. Here was a guy with a lot of promise, Simeone says. But he understood that to get the most out his university experience, he needed to learn from the people around him and I think that s what Phi Delta Theta represented to him. He saw attributes in us that he wanted to emulate. Coding at six Brothers at the MIT chapter watch childhood videos as a way to get to know their newest members. When it was time to see Drew s video, a six-year-old Houston appeared on screen describing the code for a tech innovation. All of us thought it was really funny, but then thought wow, he s doing this at six, Audette says. That precociousness continued at MIT, with Houston forming his first startup Accolade while there. The company offered SAT vocabulary prep services online. He spent his summer boning up on business strategies as an extracurricular activity. I wasn t planning to get my MBA on the roof of Phi Delta Theta, but that s what happened, Houston said during his 2013 MIT commencement address. Despite the full schedule of an MIT student and budding tech entrepreneur, Houston was heavily involved with the chapter. He was always willing to help he was always the guy behind the scenes, Audette says. Being part of the Fraternity was my first playground for leadership Being part of the Fraternity was my first playground for leadership experience. Drew Houston experience, Houston says. I was social chair of my chapter multiple times and I was rush chair twice. Anyone who has been rush chair learns after the first time you do it you never want to do it again, Houston says with a chuckle. Adam Smith was Drew s little brother (and himself a tech pioneer, founding the Xobni software company that was later purchased by Yahoo) said Drew was instrumental in recruiting him. Drew was a great big brother, Smith says. At one of the rush events my freshman year I was thinking out loud to him and said how do I decide which house to join? He said, look at the older guys in the house and find a place where you want to be like them when you re a senior. Drew was always very insightful in that way, and I was really lucky to have met him and to get to know him. The feeling is mutual. Houston mentioned Smith in the MIT commencement address, noting that he was inspired to take the risks he did after seeing his little brother s early Silicon Valley success. I was out of excuses, Houston told the crowd at the rain-soaked commencement ceremony. He [Adam] was off to the Super Bowl and I THE HOUSTON FILE Drew Houston, Co-founder/CEO of Dropbox Drew Houston, Co-founder/CEO of Dropbox 2005 graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Co-founded Dropbox in 2007 with Arash Ferdowsi Created a number of startups starting in high school: Dropbox is his sixth startup According to Forbes.com, Dropbox is the most valuable private technology company in the world Summer

48 Here was a guy with a lot of promise he understood that to get the most out his university experience, he needed to learn from the people around him and I think that s what Phi Delta Theta represented to him. Chris Simeone wasn t even getting drafted. He had no idea at the time, but Adam had given me just the kick I needed it was time for a change. Leadership training Leadership experiences in Phi Delta Theta were helpful as Houston managed Dropbox s growth. People would be surprised. Taking a leadership role in my chapter is the exact same feeling where you think, I don t know what I m getting myself into, but all I know is I m not ready for it. But then you see, when you have all these great people, all the things that are possible when you are working together, that describes my job today. That feeling traces back to when I was rush chair or social chair. That sense of responsibility and commitment is really important. Of course, at Dropbox, Houston manages a team of some of the sharpest tech experts in the industry, which he acknowledges can be easier than managing the 35 unpaid volunteers in a chapter. He attended the Leadership College (today known as the Kleberg Emerging Leaders Institute) in Oxford an experience he says helped hone his skills. It was the first time I felt I was part of something bigger than myself. There s a kinship there, which I hadn t experienced before, Houston says. That idea of being drawn to a bigger mission of having an organization that s run by values that s how all the great organizations are run and it s an inspiration for companies like ours. Dropbox as a verb Dropbox started with Houston s personal frustration of having to either tote around a portable USB drive or work to access it from another device. In short order, it became a solution for millions of people who had the same problem, achieving the coveted verb status, Dropbox me. Early on, Houston remembers posting a video about the company and watching the responses flow in. Houston at the Barry Zito Lou Gehrig Memorial Award Presentation on August 6, That s what gave me the courage to quit my job which was a great job and pursue this, Houston said. He probably didn t dream at the time that he d be among the top tech pioneers, able to decline offers to buy his company from giants like Steve Jobs. I realize you can start companies and not have the stars align the way they have for us, Houston says. He recalled a pivotal moment in Dropbox s history during the MIT address. I remember the day our first investors said yes and asked us where to send the money. For a 24-year-old, this is Christmas and opening your present is hitting refresh over and over on bankofamerica.com and watching your company s checking account go from $60 dollars to $1.2 million. At first I was ecstatic that number has two commas in it! I took a screenshot but then I was sick to my stomach. Someday these guys are going to want this back. What the hell have I gotten myself into? What he got himself into became, after lots of hard work and passion, the envy of Silicon Valley and his fellow He was always willing to help he was always the guy behind the scenes Joe Audette 2003 Spent summer reading business books on roof of Phi Delt house Became rush and social chairs for leadership experience 2005 Graduated from MIT 2007 June Founded Dropbox, Inc October Acquired current domain, dropbox.com Winner of MacWorld 2009 Editor s Choice Award Crunchie Award for Best Internet Application December Met with Steve Jobs 2011 May Partnered with Softbank and Sony Ericsson 2004 Attended the Leadership College, to hone his skills. It was the first time I felt I was part of something bigger than myself On a bus from Boston to NYC, forgot his USB drive needed to work.

49 Drew was a great big brother I was really lucky to have met him and to get to know him. Adam Smith MIT graduates. He hopes Dropbox will continue to grow by solving more of life s everyday tech challenges. As people trust Dropbox, we can solve a lot of these problems, Houston says. As we hire more and more great people, we can take on bigger challenges. It s an amazing canvas we re painting on. Simeone said he if you visit Dropbox s corporate offices, you can make the comparison to the chapter house on Bay State Road in Boston. It s mostly young people challenging each other to come up with the next big idea. People are encouraged to have fun. You ll see people scootering across the big office, there s a room where they can have musical rock jams, Simeone says. Houston probably joins in he has a 90s cover band he plays in when he gets a the chance. The concept of Fraternity we had at Mass Gamma became the model for what he built at Dropbox. Tips for young Phis The concept of fraternity can also be a model for how young Phis learn to lead, Houston says. Remember that no one is born a great leader. Whenever you feel on the edge of your comfort zone, realize everyone goes through that. Starting to cultivate some of these skills in college gives you a big advantage, Houston says. It s kind of a compound interest. It builds up over time. And Houston believes the Fraternity is the ideal place to do this. Get used to that feeling of being uncomfortable the Fraternity is the ideal place to take on more responsibility, while still having a safety net, Houston says. His wish for Phis can be captured in a word he hears from his grandmother when he speaks with her, which he shared during the MIT address.

50 Road to Greatness Ordinary Phis doing extraordinary things Phis. Young and old. Some elected student body president, others CEOs of major corporations and still others producing Emmy-winning TV shows. Phi Delta Theta s Road to Greatness program and website features ordinary Phis doing great things. We wanted to showcase the amazing Phis out there, from various generations doing great things, said Steve Good, Senior Director of Engagement. We also wanted to crowdsource the effort and give people a chance to nominate other outstanding brothers. We ve heard some great stories, and want to hear more. Here are some examples: Doug Zell, CEO of Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea In October of 1995 Doug Zell and Emily Mange left San Francisco to open an in-store coffee roaster-retailer on Broadway Avenue on the north side of Chicago. At that time they were simply hoping to bring great, fresh-roasted coffee to their own coffee bar with the help of a charming, but perhaps too often erratic 12-kilo roaster. Since then Intelligentsia has evolved considerably. The company has locations on the West and East Coasts (Los Angeles and New York) along with its hometown of Chicago. Andrés Oswill, student body president An open letter was released and sent to the student body before the elections that listed Brother Oswill s platform as safety, communication and student empowerment. These three topics were the basis of his campaign from asking his fellow students and developing an agenda toward their needs. As a rising senior, Brother Oswill has balanced his duties as a senator of the student body and fulfilled duties as Phi Delta Theta vice president, risk management chairman, and most recently served as Phikeia co-educator. 50 Summer 2014

53 Phi Delt Weekends 2014 Over the past two years, Phi Delta Theta has hosted over 1,200 undergraduates and alumni at the Regional Recruitment Workshop and Chapter Advisory Board Summit series. After an assessment of the first two years of the program, the Fraternity found that chapters that attended Recruitment Workshops two years in a row experienced an average 30% increase in Phikeias! This year, that regional program was amplified into entire Phi Delt Weekends. The Fraternity traveled to six different locations to plant the flag and welcome undergraduate and alumni brothers to a celebration of the Fraternity, along with some essential training programs as well. Each Phi Delt Weekend consisted of an alumni networking event, Recruitment Workshop, CAB Summit, and an Iron Phi 5k at a local attraction. Over 850 brothers came out to join us for at least one of the weekend s events. Brothers who attended the Recruitment Workshops spent the day learning the mechanics of Social Excellence and Dynamic Recruitment from a Phired Up Productions presenter. High-fives were exchanged, cold calls were made, and action plans were crafted that will undoubtedly prepare undergraduates for successful recruitments. In addition, a number of alumni Christopher Lapple with Dr. Terry Frey, who joined the Golden Legion at the Indianapolis event. arrived for training at the CAB Summits. There they received basic training from a GHQ staff member, networked with fellow alumni, and engaged in conversations about current college student trends, insurance, best practices and volunteer management.

54 Summer Iron Phi: $75K donated to ALS Expansion True Blue Chapter Grand His brother s keeper Blair Fettig started bone marrow registry after brother s life saved with transplant By Courtney Gehring of The Daily Barometer S ophomore Blair Fettig, Oklahoma State 16, created a movement to help save the lives of those with blood cancer. Be The Match, an organization operated by the National Marrow Donor Program has managed the largest and most diverse bone marrow registry in the world. [Here at] Oregon State University, Fettig started a campus chapter of Be The Match. Fettig and local motivated colleagues fundraise so people can register to donate, free of cost. He hosts registries on campus for Be The Match. The Be The Match registry links those who have blood cancer or other related life-threatening diseases with donor matches who can provide them with a cure. You are directly saving a life; if you are chosen by this you are literally saving someone s life, said Fettig, president of Be The Match OSU chapter. It is a small chance you will be chosen to donate in the first place, but if you do get chosen, you should be honored for the opportunity to save someone you will forever have that and it will change you. Those who register have a chance to be chosen as matches and either donate bone marrow or stem cells, depending on the case. Donating bone 54 Summer 2014

55 marrow is a one-day process with a one-week recovery, and donating stem cells is a two-day process and one-week recovery. When people get called and they say you are a match, this person needs you, and if you don t do it that person will probably not survive, Fettig said. Once you get to that point, you take some small part of your life, and save someone else s life. OSU senior Sean McFadden, who signed up during a registry last year, was one of those chosen. He donated to a 56-year-old man in Portland. The Be The Match chapter at OSU all started last year when Fettig s older brother, Matt, was diagnosed with a severe case of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. With the help of his fraternity brothers, a fundraising movement to help support the medical bills that accumulated as the Fettig family pursued treatment for Matt Fettig s illness, Fight for Matt was created. The hype generated around the You are directly saving a life; if you are chosen by this [Be the Match] you are literally saving someone s life. Blair Fettig movement to help Matt Fettig in his quest to fight cancer caught the attention of the Be The Match organization. Be The Match was the organization our family went through to get Matt his bone marrow transplant that saved his life, Fettig said. Matt Fettig, Oklahoma State 14, is in remission and completed his senior year at Oregon State. A bone marrow drive was conducted at the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity last year. More than 100 individuals came forward to register to become a match. Out of the 103 registers, 11 people were eligible matches. Those 11 out of 103 chosen it was the most in the country, Blair Fettig said. The University of Georgia came in second with four matches out of the 5,000 who registered. Due to the success rate seen on the OSU campus, Be The Match encouraged Blair Fettig to start a chapter here. The OSU drives from November 2012 have already yielded one life-saving matched donor who has gone on to donate to a patient, said Magda Silva, senior account executive at Be The Match. This is always exciting to see such a quick donor match. Blair Fettig changed the fundraising movement that was originally created for his brother to Fight for ALL, a nationally recognized event team for Be The Match OSU. The team hosts events to fundraise for the OSU chapter. Blair Fettig has spent the entire term establishing the chapter on campus and gaining support to host another bone marrow registry on campus winter term The reason we want to make so much money is because it is $100 per person to register for the bone marrow, Fettig said. When we do registries throughout the year, we don t want anyone to pay any money, so we are raising money to pay for it. We just want people to come. It takes 10 minutes to fill out a form and to swab a cheek. Two Ways to Be a Donor A t Be The Match, we are committed to providing the best possible outcomes for patients. At donor registry drives, we focus on recruiting new registry members ages 18 to 44. This is based on medical research that shows younger donors are best for patients and provide the greatest chance for transplant success. Because of this, doctors request donors in the 18 to 44 age group over 90% of the time. If you are between the ages of 45 and 60 and want to join the bone marrow registry, you must do so online. You will be asked to make a $100 payment to cover the cost to join. Learn more: Be The Match operates the Be The Match Registry, the world s largest listing of potential marrow donors and donated cord blood units. Every year, thousands of people of all ages are diagnosed with blood cancers like leukemia or lymphoma, sickle cell anemia or other life-threatening diseases. Seventy percent of people do not have a donor in their family and depend on the Be The Match Registry to find a match to save their life. Be The Match Foundation raises funds to help patients who need a marrow or umbilical cord blood transplant find a donor and receive treatment. The Impact Your Donation Can Make: $25 covers one clinic visit co-pay. Patients must visit the transplant clinic daily or weekly during their three to six months of outpatient recovery. Clinic co-pays can add up to $300 a month. $50 covers two days of meals for a patient and their caregiver during outpatient recovery. $100 covers the cost to add one potential marrow donor to the Be The Match Registry, giving more searching patients hope for a cure. $250 covers 10 monthly prescription co-pays. Many patients take 20 or more medications per day during recovery that s $500 in prescription co-pays each month. $500 provides two weeks of temporary housing during recovery. If patients live more than an hour away from the transplant center they are required to relocate and live nearby for the three to six months of recovery. Many families spend $800 to $1,500 a month on temporary housing, while also covering a mortgage back home. Learn more: Summer

56 Iron Phi Jane H. Gilbert, ALS Association President/CEO, Chris Lapple, and Chris Brussalis. Phi Delta Theta Fraternity grants $75,000 for ALS Research Phi Delta Theta International Fraternity presented The ALS Association with a check for almost $70,000 to support the quest to find treatments and cure of the disease that took the life of their fraternal brother and baseball great, Lou Gehrig. The check was presented by Chris Lapple and Chris Brussalis of Phi Delta Theta s General Council to Jane H. Gilbert, ALS Association President and CEO, during The Association s annual Leadership Summit on Thursday, February 6 in San Diego, Calif. Brussalis also serves on The Association National Board of Trustees. The Phi Delta Theta Fraternity has been a strong national partner of The ALS Association by raising both funds and awareness about this dreadful disease, said Gilbert. The Association is proud to partner with the Fraternity in the fight against the disease that first took Lou Gehrig s life and then his name. The funds were raised by Phi Delts who participated in the organization s 2013 Iron Phi campaign. Another $5, was granted to The ALS Society 56 Summer 2014 of Canada, dollars raised by Canadian Iron Phi participants. Iron Phi participants compete in athletic events and raise money to further ALS research. Through this effort, Fraternity brothers honor Gehrig s athletic prowess and never give up attitude. Iron Phi activities are open to both undergraduates and Fraternity alumni. This year marks the 75th anniversary Gehrig s famous Luckiest Man speech, where he announced his retirement from baseball after a remarkable career. The mission of Iron Phi is to strengthen the Phi Delta Theta International Fraternity and the impact it has on the fight against Lou Gehrig s disease through the fundraising and athletic efforts of its members. To become an Iron Phi, members of Phi Delta Theta (both undergraduates and alumni) must select an athletic endeavor of their choice (any type of athletic event is eligible), raise $1,000 through the Iron Phi website, and accomplish the athletic endeavor itself.

The event featured a DJ who succeeded at keeping the energy of the event up, and a dunk tank where various members of the chapter, including chapter President Sam Wampler, volunteered to get dunked while participants waited for their turn to tug-of-war. Tug Fest continues to get bigger and better with this year s event raising close to $7,000. The men of Iowa Beta are proud of the event and are continually motivated to get in the dirt to raise awareness against ALS in the name of Brother Gehrig. Mississippi Beta Phis Raise $23,000 for Brother with ALS F or the past two decades, the Mississippi Beta Chapter of Phi Delta Theta has been very active in donating both time and money to The ALS Association. By hosting events such as an annual volleyball tournament, crawfish boils, and chicken biscuit late nights, the fraternity was able to raise thousands of dollars for our national philanthropy. This year, though, the chapter wanted to do something different. They wanted to go back to the drawing board and craft a unique event that would have a broader reach. Many philanthropy projects were considered, but there was an enthusiasm gap. That is, until the chapter learned the news that Brother Ralph Doxey was diagnosed with ALS. Ralph was initiated in January 2000 and now lives with his wife Megan in Tupelo, Mississippi. When this news reached the active chapter, they saw the perfect opportunity to make a serious impact on the life of one of their own. With that, the chapter s philanthropic efforts took on a new sense of urgency. With assistance from countless alumni and parents, the chapter decided that the best way to help Ralph was to bring something new to the MSU community the innaugural Casino Royale night, with all of the proceeds benefitting their fraternity brother. The event took place at Historic Hotel Chester in Starkville on Saturday, March 21, 2014 and was an incredible success. Thanks to unwavering support from parents and outstanding alumni, nearly 350 people showed up to the event, including Ralph and his family. Because of this support, the chapter was able to more than double internal fundraising goals. They delivered a check for $23,000 to Ralph and Megan during their formal chapter meeting on Monday, April 7, The active chapter would like to say a special thank you to all of the people who not only attended and contributed, but helped to coordinate the event and make it such a success. To Ralph and his family, the chapter deeply appreciates your participation in the event and offers its prayers and support. Even in his college days, Ralph understood that fraternity runs much deeper than just the undergraduate years. What he knew to be inherently true of the chapter became very real to all who were involved as they had the honor and privilege of hosting this important event. Summer

58 Expansion Update T he has proved to be another successful year for the Phi Delta Theta expansion team. As a Fraternity, we now have 178 active chapters and 13 colonies! With our Phi Delt 2020 goal of reaching 200 chapters by 2018, we are on track to achieve that goal. Please read on to see the work that has been done recently and the plans for Colonizations North Carolina Epsilon-UNC-Pembroke Colonized: April 9, 2013 Installation scheduled: TBD Number of Colony Members: 16 On Tuesday April 9th, 2013, Phi Delta Theta s North Carolina Epsilon interest group was colonized after months of hard work. Delta South Province President Charlie Upshaw began the ceremony by expressing what it means to be a colony member of Phi Delta Theta. The interest group members then repeated the colony induction pledge and watched each member receive his colony pin as they became an official colony of the Fraternity. Director of Expansion DeMarkco Butler then presented a plaque to the colony to signify their accomplishment. The North Carolina Epsilon Colony is very proud of its association with Phi Delta Theta. The members chose Phi Delta Theta because they believed that it stood out over the rest. Those involved wanted to be part of something greater than themselves and something that will exist even after they finish their college years. The colony members look forward to becoming the greatest version of themselves through Phi Delta Theta. West Virginia Gamma-West Liberty University Colonized: January 16, 2014 Installation scheduled: TBD Number of Colony Members: 29 The West Virginia Gamma Colony of Phi Delta Theta became the first National/International Fraternity on its campus at West Liberty University. The colonization occurred January 16, 2014 at West Liberty University and was conducted by General Council Member-at-Large Chris Brussalis. The 29 men were part of an existing local fraternity, Delta Zeta Pi, and they developed a reputation as a very strong fraternity at WLU. Delta Zeta Pi has been operating since Family, friends, alumni, and fellow members of the West Liberty University Greek Community were in attendance to show their support. The Greek community at West Liberty is taking great strides in growing the presence of national/international organizations on campus. Currently, Chi Omega and Alpha Xi Delta are the other national/international organizations on the campus. In his colonization speech, President Justin De La Cruz spoke to the men about becoming the greatest versions of themselves and spreading this mentality into the Ohio Valley community. The colony members include members from the football, tennis and track and field programs. They are extremely involved on campus through student government and university housing. The new colony has members who are also enlisted in the United States Army. West Virginia Gamma is excited to begin their journey toward installation. North Carolina Eta-Campbell University Colonized: March 14, 2014 Installation scheduled: TBD Number of Colony Members: 26 West Virginia Gamma, West Liberty University A group of 26 men at Campbell University formed several months ago with interest in becoming part of the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity. Since their first official meeting on Sunday, January 12, 2014, the group has worked toward colonization with Phi Delta Theta Leadership Consultant Michael Boulter. The Phi Delta Theta men of Campbell University have organized leadership positions, established fraternity bylaws, all while finding ways to become active on campus and in the community. On Friday March 14, 2014, these men achieved their first goal by becoming the North Carolina Eta Colony of Phi Delta Theta. During the 58 Summer 2014

59 Expansion ceremony, Province President Charlie Upshaw spoke about his experience of being a Phi Delt for 40 years and how the leadership skills he developed as an undergraduate Phi have affected his life since. At the ceremony, each new member received his colony pin by Colony Advisory Board Chairman and Professor Peter Kenny. Colony President Justin Holmes stated, I am honored and privileged to work with such a driven bunch of men. We ve worked really hard to get to where we are and it doesn t stop here. We plan to become a more solid brotherhood while also becoming more prominent on campus, showing other people why every day is great to be a Phi! Professor Peter Kenny charged each young man to remember the Phi Delta Theta motto, One Man is No Man as the colony works towards becoming a chapter. The ceremony concluded with the song Eternal Praise led by Chorister Michael Fields. California Psi-Loyola Marymount University Colonized: March 15, 2014 Installation scheduled: TBD Number of Colony Members: 92 On March 15, 2014, history was made when Phi Delta Theta colonized the 92-member California Psi Colony at Loyola Marymount University. The size of the Founding Father class upon colonization is both a record for Phi Delta Theta and Loyola Marymount. The colony members had a warm welcoming and plenty of support. Friends, family, and other California chapters (La Verne, UCLA, and Chapman) of Phi Delta Theta attended the colonization ceremony. Greek Council President Peter Shrupp spoke at the ceremony and discussed his excitement for the new organization joining the LMU Greek community. He spoke about kinship and how eager he was to see us succeed on campus. Peter, a member of Sigma Chi, ended his welcoming speech with a shout out to the Miami Triad. The colony also had the pleasure of hearing words of wisdom from Dan Faill, LMU s Assistant Director of Student Leadership and Development. He discussed the honor of being a founding father, as he was a founding father of a Theta Chi chapter. He also spoke about the difficulty and the journey the colony will go through in the upcoming 12 months. California Psi s President Nestor Crespin also spoke about the journey that faces this colony. California Psi, Loyola Marymount University Ontario Beta, University of Western Ontario To quote my grandfather, the journey to greatness begins with a single a step. Today marks our first step in becoming the greatest version of ourselves, said Crespin. The California Psi Colony is filled with great potential and is excited to join the Loyola Marymount University Greek Community. The colony would like to thank Chris Lapple, President of the General Council, for presiding over the ceremony. Recolonizations Ontario Beta-The University of Western Ontario Founded: November 10, 1962 Recolonized: November 30, 2013 Number of Colony Members: 21 On Saturday, November 30, 2013, the first colonization at a Canadian university in over five years took place. These proud alumni watched as Phi Delta Theta welcomed back the Ontario Beta Colony and saw the first step in their chapter s return. The mood was cheerful as the colony members heard the words of their alumni, including their Bond #1 Ron Walenius, as well as those of other nearby chapters. Stephen Price, the colony s Chapter Advisory Board Chairman, had this to say; We have a great group of young, passionate, energetic professionals to take the reigns of re-starting Ontario Beta at Western. I am looking forward to working with each and every one of them to see what they can accomplish. The colony members were honored to receive their colony pins. When given the chance to speak, they spoke of their thanks to the alumni that have supported them and their hopes for their prosperity in the coming years. This was best summed up in the words from Jacob Young, the colony s president; This year, we began the reestablishment of PDT at The University of Western Ontario. With a strong Greek presence on campus already, we were excited to get started at making our mark in the community. Now, with our colonization complete, we stand strong with a fantastic group of core gentleman that are working tirelessly to solidify PDT s place at Western. As President, I have the pleasure of working with everyone closely, and I am thrilled with the quality, caliber and commitment that our group has to offer. It has become absolutely apparent Summer

60 Expansion to me that becoming a Phi Delt is so much more than the stereotype frat boy. PDT puts a strong emphasis on morals, community, philanthropy and leadership. I am honoured to be associated with the gentlemen and values of PDT. I couldn t be more excited to be a part of this amazing Fraternity and look forward to what a future with PDT brings. Michigan Beta-Michigan State University Founded: November 8, 1873 Recolonized: December 7, 2013 Number of Colony Members: 41 The Michigan Beta Colony of Phi Delta Theta is proud and enthusiastic about joining Michigan State University s Greek community. The colony was officially instated on Saturday, December 7, 2013 with a ceremony at Michigan State s Engineering building. Family, friends, alumni, and fellow members of the Greek community were in attendance to show their support for the new colony. The ceremony officially recognized 41 young men as the Founding Fathers of Michigan Beta. Colony President Alex Green accepted a recognition plaque from Province President Nat Love after each member was presented a Founding Father pin and manual of the Fraternity. Greek life at Michigan State is a rapidly expanding, with numerous fraternities and sororities slated for installation in the coming semesters. The men of Phi Delta Theta Michigan Beta are eager to set the standard for colonies to come through high community involvement and maintaining a positive public presence. Colony President Alex Green illustrated this in a speech during the ceremony stating, We have done a lot of work already to put a good name out there for Phi Delta Theta [at Michigan State], but we still have a long road ahead of us. The new brothers of Phi Delta Theta have already made great strides in honing this image. They have participated in several philanthropy events, highlighted by winning Delta Gamma s annual Anchorman charity fundraiser, and have reached out to multiple sororities with their serenades. They have also been fortunate enough to procure the original Phi Delta Theta chapter on house on Cowley Avenue with the extremely gracious assistance of the Michigan Beta alumni. Michigan Beta, Michigan State University Tennessee Eta, Middle Tennessee State University Installations Tennessee Eta-Middle Tennessee State University Colonized: December 6, 2012 Installed: December 13, 2013 Number of Brothers: 43 The Tennessee Eta Chapter of Phi Delta Theta at Middle Tennessee State University had humble beginnings as an interest group. Their numbers grew quickly as the Phi Delta Theta expansion team met with various sororities to find qualified young men looking to become the greatest versions of themselves. What they truly found were driven men who led to the shaping and foundation of a strong and firm brotherhood. These men showed promise and held a high degree of integrity and great work ethic matched by a resilient resolve. Phi Delt has helped me realize the man that I can be. It has shown me the kind of work and drive to become that kind of man takes, and has provided me with a path to become that person, said Jordan Dawson. The group colonized on December 6, 2012 with 34 men and began its journey towards installation. There were obstacles encountered here and there: leadership reshuffling, prioritizing, and a re-evaluation of what it takes to call one s self a Phi Delt. This group s accomplishments are countless, and they include three top two finishes in sorority philanthropy weeks, three top two teams in intramural sports, the top fraternity GPA for the Fall of 2012 and well-established recruiting techniques and campus connections. These young men are leaders in the community, the classroom, the field and in many other platforms. They show strength where they are offered the opportunity and continue to rise to the occasion. Through Phi Delta Theta I have found a brotherhood that I know will stay with me through my entire life. I see the men that are my best friends and we can only get stronger from here. Phi Delt has given me this and much, much more, and I am very thankful for that, said Morgan Droke. Through the process of the young group s success, they had to go through many trials and errors, but they were able to conquer through their mistakes with such zeal that when one step was taken back, they were always quick to follow with two steps forward. As time passes we become stronger, and it is through surpassing our given limitations with vitality we will accomplish wonders, stated Nick Goff. 60 Summer 2014

61 Expansion On Thursday, December 12, 2013, 43 young men were initiated into The Bond of Phi Delta Theta. On Friday, December 13, 2013, an installation ceremony for the granting of the Tennessee Eta charter was held. These events symbolized that Tennessee Eta had officially become a charted chapter of the Fraternity. The hard work that was experienced is what led this strong-willed colony into becoming a full-fledged chapter. Tennessee Eta will continue to grow and show other men how to become the greatest version of yourself. Ohio Xi-Otterbein University Colonized: November 20, 2011 Installed: February 1, 2014 Number of Brothers: 35 On Saturday, February 1, 2014, the Ohio Xi Chapter of Phi Delta Theta was installed at Otterbein University in Westerville, Ohio.

I was extremely impressed with the quality of both undergraduates and alumni who were in attendance.

66 Opinion from the Order Phi Delt friendships last a lifetime Having been a Phi for over 60 years I can say that being a member of Phi Delta Theta offers two quite separate wonderful experiences one being an active chapter member, and the other being an alumnus. It is this latter experience that I share regarding friendships in the Miami, Florida area. The attached picture is from a Robert Burns Dinner this past February at the Biscayne Bay Yacht Club in Coconut Grove, Florida, in which at one table there were three old time friends and alumni of Phi Delta Theta. From left to right: James Crowder, Georgia Beta, Warren Quillian, Georgia Beta, and Sandy Markham, Kansas Alpha. Jim Crowder is a practicing attorney in Miami, and Warren Quillian and Sandy Markham are physicians Warren is a pediatrician and Sandy is the Emeritus Executive Associate Dean for Student Affairs at a new medical school in Miami. Yours in the Bond, Sandy Markham, Kansas 56 Emeritus Executive Associate Dean for Student Affairs Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology LIVE TO INSPIRE! Congratulations to all of the chapters and alumni recognized at the 2014 General Convention for becoming the greatest version of yourselves! Make your mark with CHROME, the official fragrance of the fraternity! Fresh. Long-lasting. Easy to wear. With the purchase of a Phi Delta Theta Limited Edition bottle, 100% of the proceeds help sponsor our fraternity programs and activities. This large size spray is offered for a limited time at a preferential price of $48 (a $30 savings). Exclusively available at 66 Summer 2014

A co-founder of the American Football League, Wilson is credited with initiating talks in 1965 with Baltimore Colts owner Carroll Rosenbloom that led to the AFL-NFL merger. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in No one loved this game more than Ralph Wilson, said Russ Brandon, Team President. The Bills won consecutive AFL championships after the 1964 and 65 seasons. They also were among the most successful teams of the 1990s, winning four straight AFC titles though no Super Bowls after the seasons. Wilson was responsible for keeping the Bills in western New York, where they play in a stadium bearing his name. Would you like to make a Memorial Gift? Providing a memorial gift is a tremendous way to thank the Phis who have impacted our lives after they have entered the Chapter Grand. One Famous Phi whose out of this world achievement impacted members of Phi Delta Theta and beyond is Neil Armstrong who recently passed into the Chapter Grand. To honor Brother Armstrong, a memorial Whole Man Scholarship was created in his name to provide a young Phi a leadership experience at Kleberg Emerging Leaders Institute and financial support for his academic efforts. An envelope has been enclosed to give you the opportunity to honor Brother Armstrong or any Phi that might have helped you achieve something great in your life. All gifts will be directed to the Neil Armstrong Whole Man Scholarship and a note to the family of the Phi you are honoring will be sent by the Foundation. Summer
