LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

STEVE THOMPSON, MIN 1995

Fraternal Greetings!

Another school year is over, and both of my kids survived their freshmen years at college. It may seem like a low bar, but when you send your first and only kids away it’s hard, and your expectations align to the novelty of the situation. I am very proud of them and can’t wait for the next year in their lifelong adventure.

Alpha Delta Phi is 192 years old, and much of the novelty would seem to have worn off, but the landscape of Universities, Colleges, and Fraternities are ever changing. We faced some new challenges this year and I am proud to say the team and the young men tackled them with grace. Speech and constitutional rights need to be defended fervently, and I am glad our organization continues to be a leader in that space.

Even after almost two centuries, brotherhood, leadership, and friendship do not seem to be going out of style. We’ve had a very successful year recruiting, retaining, and graduating the highquality young men Alpha Delta Phi attracts. National trends show much of the same – while there may be some contraction in the schools that embrace Greek life, where it is embraced, it is healthy and growing.

With the close of the school year, our team’s focus turns fully towards Convention in August. Hosted by the Adelpho Chapter at Chapman University, I am very excited to convene the governing body of the Fraternity this summer in Anaheim, California. Our unique governing structure has the bonus of bringing us all together every year. I look forward to seeing many of you at Convention again this year.

Post convention, the Fraternity will be looking to put a five-year strategic plan in place. Key to our growth, putting pen to paper on expansion goals and targets will be job #1. With that in mind, I’d ask all of you to imagine the newspaper headlines about the Fraternity in 2030. What would they say? What will we be known for? Email me at headlines@alphadeltaphi.org.

It is an honor for me, each and every day, to serve the Fraternity that helped shape my life, yours, and thousands of brothers around the world.

Xaipe!

CHAPTER UPDATE

LAMBDA PHI ABANDONS FRATERNITY FOR CO-ED SOCIETY

On August 15, 2023, the Lambda Phi Chapter notified the Board of Governors of its decision to begin initiating women and voluntarily join the Alpha Delta Phi Society, an independent and legally separate gender-inclusive organization not affiliated with the Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity. The Fraternity has had a historic presence at MIT since 1976, so it’s with great sadness that the Board of Governors was forced to exercise its authority to indefinitely terminate and revoke the Charters of the Lambda Phi Chapter and the Lambda Phi Alumni Association - both located at the Massachusetts Institute of Technolo gy (MIT). Effective immediately, the chapter and alumni association shall no longer be considered in good standing with the Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity.

WEINBERG NAMED TO FORBES 30 UNDER 30 LIST

Winston Weinberg, Kenyon 2017, was recently honored on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Enterprise Technology List. As a profes sionally trained lawyer, Weinberg left a job at major law firm O'Melveny & Myers after one year to team up with Artificial In telligence (AI) researcher Gabriel Pereyra. Together, they co founded Harvey AI last August to build custom AI assistants for law firms - and have since expanded to work with private equi ty and accounting giants. Like Chat GPT, Harvey AI is built on a version of Open.AI’s GPT AI.

Weinberg leads a small crew of lawyers who expound on their institutional knowledge to train the AI. At multina tional law firm Allen & Overy, 3,500 lawyers and staff use Harvey AI to automate some document drafting and research; at PwC, 4,000 legal professionals across 100 coun tries are using Harvey AI. Open.AI and Se quoia are among investors that have poured $26 million into the startup. Harvey AI was among the Open.AI Startup Fund’s first four investments, receiving $5 million from the fund.

The fraternity reported 621 new members which is only 20 fewer members than the same period last year.

“PLEDGETOK”: HAZING OR WHOLESOME?

Fraternity initiations have long been a tradition on college campuses, marking the transition of new members into these brotherhoods. These initiation processes often go hand-in-hand with hazing, which is usually kept secret.

Hazing typically involves subjecting new members, known as “pledges,” to various forms of physical, mental, or emotional challenges with the intent of testing their loyalty, commitment, and resilience. While some argue that hazing builds character and strengthens bonds between members, it has also resulted in serious injuries, deaths, and psychological trauma for those involved.

However, in the ever-evolving landscape of online culture, a new phenomenon has emerged on TikTok known as “PledgeTok.” This trend has new fraternity members making videos of themselves dancing, giving weather forecasts, and going to the on-campus sorority houses and wishing all of the sisters goodnight. While unconventional, “PledgeTok” raises questions about whether social media videos might be a safer and more positive alternative to traditional hazing practices.

There has been a noticeable shift away from conventional frat initiation practices toward the TikTok-hosted alternative. Newcomers of various fraternities are being encouraged to harness their artistic talents, tap into their sense of humor, and engage in lighthearted video-making.

In the videos, Pledges are motivated to produce entertaining videos that feature goofy choreography or energetic lip-sync performances set to chart-topping songs. This shift fosters an environment that not only allows for the celebration of individuality but also promotes group bonding and unity.

By integrating TikTok dancing into the initiation process, organizations are redefining the notion of initiation. For potential members of Greek life, this is a promising step that trades fear tactics for more wholesome ways of forming a community.

Not everyone is convinced. To many, all hazing, no matter what form, is unnecessary. Building character and trying to make sure these new members are dedicated is one thing, but hazing practices are outdated and are often risky.

(R-SC) introduced the Stop Campus Hazing Act to improve the reporting and prevention of hazing on college campuses. This bipartisan legislation would require hazing incidents be included in a college’s annual crime report and require higher education institutions to establish a campus-wide, research-based program to educate students about the dangers of hazing. In addition, the bill would increase transparency and accountability by providing parents and students with better information about a college’s history of hazing incidents.

the after-effects of COVID-19 and its impact on students, a new study affirms that fraternity members exhibit higher levels of peer accountability and a willingness to intervene compared to their unaffiliated peers. The results show that fraternity members exhibit a better understanding of how to intervene in difficult situations; understand how to hold their peers accountable to agreed-upon standards; and are more comfortable and confident in intervening. Additionally, fraternity members identify a stronger sense of belonging and being part of a larger community than their peers.

1,000 MILES FOR A CURE

>> BROTHERS RIDE TO FIGHT ALS

BY: DOUG DIEFENBACH, MI 1980

Dave Foster, MI 1981 turned a “crazy idea” into a 1,000 mile journey to raise over $100,000 to fight ALS in honor of his fellow brother Doug McIlvaine, MI 1981.

The fraternal “ties that bind” take many forms. Last summer, those ties propelled a score of Alpha Delts from the Miami Chapter in an “Oxford to Boxford ALS Ride for Hope.” This ambitious 1000-mile, cross-country charity bike ride to benefit ALS research was the brainchild of Dave Foster who organized it out of compassion for his pledge brother and former roommate

Dave started to spread the word and… “It just took off! Doug’s a beloved character, and every alum who heard about it wanted to pitch in somehow.” Dave was amazed but perhaps shouldn’t have been: fraternity guys are drawn to being part of something bigger, and this was their chance.

OXFORD

Brothers, friends, and supporters pause for a moment along the Erie Canal in upstate New York. Some of the group includes: Jim Jorling, MI 1981, Dave Foster, MI 1981, Rod McGregor, MI 1980, and Dolly McIllvaine. The day ended with a home cooked meal of chicken parmesan and spaghetti topped off with garlic bread!

Also tracking the progress: local news outlets. The ride was featured in several spots, adding to many social media promos from supporters and well-wishers, all of which increased awareness and support.

The riders may have even gotten a little attention from the Great Beyond. Cruising through Westmoreland, New York, the riders were surprised to discover that, according to a large plaque they glimpsed while rolling along, they had accidentally visited the hometown of Samuel Eells! Fate? Serendipity? Or were they drawn there by Eells’ ghost, who just had to get in on the action?

As they recruited riders and donations through texts and emails and phone calls, Dave, Doug, Jim and other brothers were amazed at how the experience rekindled so many 40-year-old connections. Said Dave, “My kids would roll their eyes to hear me say this…but there was a brotherhood among us back then and there still is. I don’t know if what we had was unique. I can only chalk it up to the special time we had at Miami together.”

Doug agreed. “We had the time of our lives together as undergrads. But I never imagined those feelings would still be so strong 40 years later – even from guys I hadn’t talked to in decades. It was just amazing.”

Joining Dave and Doug as riders, crew and other volunteers were Miami Brothers: Scott Golan, 1980, Jim Jorling, 1981, Rod McGregor, 1979, Jeff Wagner, 1981, Jim Venezia, 1978, Frank Marsico, 1978, Neal Restivo, 1982, Dick Wagner, 1980, Fred Carmean, 1977, Rick Palumbo, 1981, Tim Hecker, 1979, Peter Ort, 1981, Mike Dvorak, 1983, Pierce Richardson, 1983, John Collins, 1979, and Doug Diefenbach, 1980, as well as Little Sisters Nancy O'Brien Adams, Anne Brown Miller, Nancy Eigel Miller, Kim Hostetler-Sater and Janet Mattick-Brinton. A long list of others sent good wishes and donations.

The jubilant riders logged about 3000 road miles all told (“a feat in itself for 60-something year-old knees!” remarked

"LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST AS THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES, SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER AND ALWAYS HAVE HOPE IN YOUR HEART."

BOXFORD

“a goner.” But with positive thinking, brotherly support, and some good luck, he’s beating the odds and still thriving – even surprising everyone by taking to the ice again to play hockey, his lifelong passion. Doug and Dolly have begun to question his diagnosis. His doctor said, “Doug, you check all the boxes for ALS!” Doug replied, “Doc, I think you need some more boxes!”

Dave summed up the event he set in motion: “It was definitely more than a bike ride. It was an amazing rekindling and strengthening of old friendships. My heart is full – though my legs are tired!”

The Ox-Box Ride showed that fraternal “ties that bind” take many forms. For Dave Foster and Doug McIlvaine last summer, those resilient ties stretched over four decades, dozens of brothers, and thousands of miles…

The party started soon after, helped along by several brothers who flew in just for the event – a celebration capped by a heartfelt rendition of the Alpha Delt Sweetheart Song for Dolly McIlvaine. She was overwhelmed by the brothers’ arm-in-arm, swaying serenade: “I feel like I now have at least a dozen more brothers in my family – guys I could count on for anything.”

Speaking of counting, donations from alumni and friends had grown with each passing mile. When the road dust cleared, the organizers were astonished to discover that Dave’s simple “long bike ride” had raised more than $131,000 for ALS research – five times the ride’s orig inal goal.

DISCOVERING SUCCESS

Alpha Delts met in the sweltering summer heat (and humidity) of Tampa, Florida for the 191st Annual Convention this past August. Along the shores of the Hillsborough River, delegates from chapters and alumni associations gathered to network, learn best practices, and debate policy changes to our beloved fraternity. Of course, there was plenty of time to enjoy Tampa, including exploring museums, cigar factories, and the vibrant food scene. Brothers were welcomed with a relaxing dinner cruise aboard Yacht Starship which reached Tampa Bay shortly before a picturesque sunset.

PRESIDENT OF THE YEAR AWARD

CLAYTON HAASE, ILL 2024

Building off of the strength of his predecessor, Clayton Haase, ILL 2024 played a pivotal role in ensuring the continued success of the Illinois Chapter. Last year, the chapter almost doubled again, going from 45 to 77 brothers. The chapter is now one of the largest chapters within Alpha Delta Phi!

Additionally, Clayton helped to implement robust brother development programming and his close work with their alumni association has helped to make their chapter restart a remarkable success. The chapter’s recruitment process is extensive and elaborate, hosting several open events, an application process, and an interview conducted by active brothers and alumni. The chapter’s stellar recruitment practices have certainly been a pillar of recent success.

The Roosevelt Award pays homage to the pivotal role that chapter presidents play in shaping the fraternity’s culture and guiding its members toward excellence. Since 2007, this prestigious recognition honors chapter presidents who have demonstrated exemplary leadership, fostering a sense of unity, and inspiring their chapter members to reach new heights.

Overall, the convention was a great success filled with high-quality educational speakers who presented relatable content on a wide-variety of topics that resonated with both chapter and alumni leaders.

CHAPTER MOTIVATION

With the help of Mike Ayalon, the first keynote session titled “Help! My Chapter Is Not Motivated!”, addressed a pressing issue many of us face: a lack of motivation within our chapters. The session high lighted that motivation is a critical component in determining our organization’s success or failure: “understanding personal motivation is the first step to fostering a motivated chapter.”

Participants delved into various motivation theo ries, exploring how these can be applied to both individual and group dynamics. The session em phasized the importance of self-awareness in moti vation. By recognizing what drives us personally, we can then better communicate our needs and support each other in achieving our shared mis sion.

One key takeaway from the session was the need for open dialogue within our chapters. By sharing personal motivators, members can better align their efforts to create a more cohesive and driven group. The session also provided practical tools and strategies to boost motivation, such as setting clear goals, recognizing achievements, and foster ing a positive and inclusive environment.

In essence, the session underscored the idea that motivation starts from within but flourishes through collective effort and mutual support. Let us now apply these insights to invigorate our chapter and drive our organization toward success.

LEADING THROUGH ADVERSITY

Saturday’s keynote session focused on adversity, which was led by Trevon Bryant of Greek University. The session was a profound exploration of resilience and leadership. Trevon asked the pivotal question: “What do you do

when your hard work doesn’t yield the expected results?” He emphasized the importance of maintaining productivity despite external setbacks and highlighted that true leadership is tested through personal challenges.

Trevon shared that effective leaders hold firm to their values and vision, even when adversity strikes. He acknowledged that leadership doesn’t shield us from personal struggles, which can disrupt our focus and performance. Through his compelling narrative and personal anecdotes, Trevon demonstrated how adopting a positive perspective toward challenges can help us to distinguish between success and failure.

The session was both thought-provoking and self-reflective, inspiring attendees to confront challenges head-on with resilience and determination. Trevon’s relatable and energetic delivery left us all ready to face any adversity with a renewed

support systems

Building strong support systems is key to our chapters’ success and well-being. With the help of Jennifer Lewandowski, the chef at the Washington Chapter, brothers took a deep dive into what our student brothers are dealing with on a daily basis. This panel helped alumni understand that brotherhood goes beyond just social events; it’s about creating a network where each member feels valued and supported. Our focus as alumni should be on fostering an environment where everyone can share their challenges and successes openly.

>> Brothers and spouses boarding the streetcar to explore an afternoon in Tampa.

The talk encouraged participation in mentorship programs, where new members are paired with experienced brothers who can offer guidance and advice. Regular check-ins and open forums should be conducted to ensure that everyone has a voice and knows they are not alone. Additionally, we should promote mental health awareness and provide resources for those in need of professional support.

DONOR THANK YOU

As was the case the year before, the fraternity took time out of the convention to thank our generous donors with an Evening of Thanks. This year, the event was hosted at Columbia Restaurant - the oldest restaurant in Florida. The night featured a delicious evening of traditional Spanish food located in the historic Ybor City neighbor hood. To cap off the night, traditional flamenco dancers provided some local entertainment. Without the generosity of our donors, our educational events, including Convention, would simply not be possible.

Illinois’ success has been nothing short of remarkable and is showing no signs of slowing down. Rejecting complacency, the chapter instituted a robust brother development program that aimed to ensure career and job skills were learned at the chapter. In addition to their strong philanthropy and academic programs, the chapter actively involves alumni in their chapter operations.

In Memoriam MURRAY Edson W.

Edson Walter Murray, Illinois 1946, of Elk Rapids, MI and Treasure Island, FL, died on November 2, 2023, at the age of 99. Born and raised in Sullivan, Indiana, he enrolled in 1942 at the University of Illinois; his education was interrupted by his service in the U.S. Navy during World War II, and he completed his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering in 1949 (the completion of which he said was delayed for three years by “a small inconvenience”). Ed joined the Illinois Chapter of Alpha Delta Phi during his freshman year and was a member of the legendary group known as “’46 & Friends.”

Ed was a staunch patriot in the classic sense of the word, serving his country with honor and distinction in the Navy’s 3rd, 5th, 7th and 11th Fleets, in both the Atlantic and Pacific theaters, primarily on the USS Dashiell and other destroyers. Bro. Murray was awarded five campaign ribbons and two battle stars for his service in Okinawa and the Philippines. After WWII, Edson embarked on a very successful career. He worked in industry for ten years before establishing his own company, Edson W. Murray & Associates, with offices in Chicago and Rensselaer, IN. He also served as the CEO of Murrays, Inc., an actuarial firm focusing on executive compensation. Edson was an active and respected member of numerous financial and actuarial professional organizations.

In the late 1950s Edson invested most of his life savings in a new concept in travel and hospitality, buying multiple Holiday Inn franchises in Indiana,

which provided him with income and asset appreciation for the rest of his life. Ed was a loving husband, father and grandfather. He was married to Janice Sage Murray from 1949 until her passing in 1984; he later married Gloria Kurrack Murray in 1993, living with her for 30 years until his death.

Always a proud member of Alpha Delta Phi, Edson served as national president of the fraternity from 1997-1999 as well as serving on the fraternity’s Board of Governors for several years and mentoring numerous alumni volunteers. He was a 70-year member of the Masonic Scottish Rite of Indiana, as well as active in Rotary, his Presbyterian church and numerous charitable organizations in the Midwest and Florida.

Ed had a strong-but-gentle personality. At one meeting of the fraternity’s Board of Governors, during a budgetary discussion he stated that you “weren’t a real man until you had made and lost five million dollars.” He used his ties to Holiday Inns to negotiate heavily discounted rates for fraternity board meetings and conventions for many years. In recent years he served as counselor to and supporter of the Illinois Chapter of the fraternity.

Ways to Give

Donor-advised funds are a great way to support Alpha Delta Phi because they are one of the easiest and most tax-advantageous ways to give to charity. Directing a grant from your donor advised fund to support the 1832 Foundation will ensure highimpact, leadership training programs are available to all brothers.

Legacy giving is an option for Alpha Delts who have chosen to leave a legacy for the future of Alpha Delta Phi through their will or estate plans. Many Alpha Delts have made the 1832 Foundation a beneficiary of their estate gifts such as bequests, life insurance policies, charitable remainder trusts, charitable gift annuities, living revocable trusts, or various retirement plans.

If you’re over the age of 70½ and have an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) to the 1832 Foundation may provide the most significant tax savings of any charitable contribution. While you are eligible to make a QCD beginning at age 70½, when you turn 72 you must take a Required Minimum Distribution from your IRA.

Many employers have established Matching Gift Programs in order to incentivize employees to make gifts to certified charitable foundations – including the 1832 Foundation. These Matching Gift Programs can often double or even triple your gift to the Foundation, which is a win-win for our undergraduates!

The 1832 Club recognizes those who establish recurring electronic gifts of $18.32 in monthly installments. The 1832 Club benefits the donor & the Foundation by breaking down one’s giving into manageable amounts, limiting the number (and cost) of solicitations and by maximizing the impact on students year round

STEVEN C. LEUTHOLD

MINNESOTA 1960

Steven Carl Leuthold, a money manager who founded the multibillion-dollar investment firm that carries his name and called the bottom of the stock market with near-perfect accuracy during the 2008-2009 financial crisis, has died. He was 85.

After graduation he joined the Army National Guard to help pay college tuition, graduating from the University of Minnesota in 1960 with a degree in History. While in the Guard, his captain interested him in the investment business.

He first worked as a commodities trainee at Cargill, an investment analyst at Paine Webber, an investment strategist at Piper, Jaffray, & Hopwood, and a portfolio manager at Criterion Investment Management. In 1981 Steve founded The Leuthold Group, an institutional investment research firm. The Leuthold Group flourished and eventually expanded into mutual funds. He became a leading national ex-

pert in the investment field. He made numerous appearances on broadcast media financial programs and regularly spoke at investment conferences nationwide. He frequently contributed to The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, Newsweek, and Business Week. He was also authored The Myths of Inflation and Investing, published in 1980 by Crain Books. Many investment professionals now regard it as a landmark work. In 2015 he was inducted into the Twin Cities Business Hall of Fame for his lifetime of achievement.

Steve was involved in various other business ventures during his lifetime. Most of these ventures were driven by his desire to be a part of something fun and often didn't make good business sense. He was co-owner of The Alps nightclub in Bloomington, MN in the late 1960s, and a one-time concert promoter of "The Show" at Pontiac Stadium in Michigan during the Bicentennial celebration.

Steve delighted in running away from the herd. He spent over thirty summers living on Bailey Island, Maine, his favorite place in the world. He loved being on the Maine coast growing potatoes and befriending the local lobstermen. Typical of his unconventional nature, instead of going south for the winter, he came back to Minneapolis.

Steve lived life to the fullest, was mischievous, and reveled in pulling pranks and shenanigans both at work and outside

of work. He was quick to laugh and find humor; people were naturally drawn to his charisma and he made many lasting and loyal friends. He adored his children and grandchildren and treasured their time together.

A committed philanthropist, he often gave anonymously and lived modestly. He loved music, beer, and entertaining friends and strangers, alike. Steve was brilliant, yet humble; he will be greatly missed.

University of Ohio, he completed a semester of law school at the University of Buffalo before pursuing his gift as a singer/songwriter and creator of seven

P. OLEN SNIDER

Johns Hopkins 1983

Jackson's legion of loyal fans has followed him across the country to hear his music and be inspired by his amazing gift to perform, compose beautiful songs, and lift the energy of any room he walked into –be it a stage in a thousand-person theater or a humble kitchen of anyone's home. He lived life to the fullest in many ways

He taught himself to read at the age of 3, presaging a voluminous vocabulary and unquenchable curiosity that eventually translated into a perfect verbal SAT score and acceptance into the Johns Hopkins University. Olen graduated second in his

class in 1987 from Wyoming Law, eventually securing prestigious positions with Shapiro & Olander, then Dackman & Heyman, in Baltimore.

From 1998-2003, Olen was the the Senior Assistant Attorney General at the Wyoming Attorney General's Office, and was nominated for a judgeship during this time. He founded Summit Title in Cheyenne in 2003, eventually also opening law offices in Laramie and Lander, before retiring in 2018.

Olen married the love of his life, Earnest "Bubba" Ruise, in September 2010, and spent the rest of his life with him.

Chicago 1956

In 1967 he joined General Shoelace Company as Vice President of Sales and Marketing. He spent the next 33 years at the company, retiring as President on December 31, 1999. And, yes, he did hear every shoelace joke ever told!

He married his wife Peggy in June, 1956, while he was still a student at the University of Chicago. They spent the next 67 years together and were blessed with four children and seven grandchildren. Together, they visited all 50 states and six continents, lacking only Antarctica.

with his fraternity brothers for over

Jim was a natural storyteller with a penchant for pithy dialogue. He put his talents to use as an “ad man” – a phrase he loved, working for Young & Rubicam as a creative director on notable accounts for the U.S. Army, Lincoln/Mercury, and Proctor & Gam-

At 65 and while living on Peaks Island in Maine, he started a second career as a novelist, becoming the best-selling author of the series, “McCabe and Savage”, which sold more than half a million copies and was published worldwide. He also served as President of the Maine Writers and Publishing Alliance for several years. Jim’s greatest joys were writing, reading, drinking good scotch, supporting his wife’s passion for art and art-making, and spending time with close friends and family.

Jim was a master of Trivial Pursuit, a supporter of progressive politics, and a talented toast-maker.

arship, where he was a member of Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity, and graduated in 1958. He then married the love of his life, Joan, and was commissioned into the Navy to attend flight school in Pensacola, FL. He spent several years as an Operational Naval Aviator until the Navy sent him to business school where he received his MBA from Harvard University in 1966. He was then assigned as financial manager of aviation funds for the Atlantic Fleet, as a safety analyst, and as controller of the Naval Air Rework Facility.

While being stationed in Virginia, he also served as an Assistant Professor in the Business Department at George Washington University.

In his retirement, Ron and his therapy dog Hercules spent several years volunteering at local nursing facilities, bringing a smile, a fuzzy face, and a wet nose to many residents. He was proud to have donated several gallons of blood through the American Red Cross over the years. He also enjoyed his role as an Election Official for his voting precinct.

He was a generous and loving husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather, uncle, friend, and fraternity brother.
