campus featurettes “A”, started the week off strong by blowing away the rest of the fraternities and sororities presidents in a trivia competition. The week ended in a similar fashion with a tug team that went undefeated in the tournament style bracket. We look forward to next year’s events and have our eyes set on the first place trophy. Colony Brothers volunteering to raise donations at the Yolo County Food Bank Pancake Breakfast.
participated in. The Colony raised money for the non-profit organization Service for Sight by participating in Delta Gamma’s dodgeball tournament and DeeGee Desserts. Recently more than half the brotherhood attended Chi Omega Cookies in support of breast cancer research. The crowning achievement for the involvement in other Greek philanthropies came in our participation in Pi Beta Phi’s Arrowjam dance medley competition for Links to Literacy. With a variety of songs ranging from “Sexual Healing” to the theme from the Lion King, the members performed to the cheers from an arena full of fellow Greeks. Our Colony achieved great success running its first Toys for Tots drive this winter. With donation boxes in nearly every Greek house, we were able to collect hundreds of toys to donate to the Sacramento area Toys for Tots Foundation, serving children in need during the holidays. More recently, 80% of the brotherhood helped to host a pancake breakfast in support of the Yolo County Food Bank. Along with acting as waiters to the hundreds of guests, the brothers canvassed the local area to advertise the event, which subsequently doubled the attendance from the previous year.

The Chapter is proud to announce a second place finish in Greek Week. The week was full of fun, excitement and first place finishes in the president event as well as the tug-of-war. Dwight De Carme, 6 Delta Chi | Quarterly | Spring/Summer 2008
FERRIS STATE Every January, our Chapter sponsors a rock concert called “January Jams.” The brothers are responsible for every aspect of the event including requesting funding, booking the band, creating advertising, setting up and tearing down the stage, and providing security. Nickelback, Bowling for Soup, Finger Eleven, The Verve Pipe, and Trapt are a few of the bands that have visited the Ferris campus. For our ninth annual “January Jams” we hosted the Chicago-based band Chevelle, with local band Unlisted as the opening act. The concert, which lasted about two hours, was one of our largest yet with over 1,500 guests from the campus community and surrounding areas. Our Chapter would also like to thank the brothers from Kettering-B for helping with the tear down after the concert. We anticipate our tenth concert to be an amazing event in January 2009.
GANNON We would like to announce the start of the Chapter’s House Corporation. Over the past few months Brothers Evan Gould and Kevin Caffrey have been putting much effort into getting this corporation started. An executive board has been established and consists of: Kiran Rajasenan, Eric Witchell, Jeremy Ballaro, Joe Rossi, and Evan Gould. The president of the House Corporation will be Brother Kevin Caffrey.
GEORGE MASON The Colony was proud to once again help the Sexual Assault Services organization on campus in its efforts to raise awareness of abuse of women and the problems that abuse continues to cause. Members spent 50 hours at the beginning of the semester promoting the organization’s February initiatives and programs. Sexual Assault Services continued to contact us for help with its events after we helped in the fall semester with the “Stop the Violence Week” program. We continue to be an active organization on campus, looking to take an active role in neutralizing violence against women and violence in general.

Fredonia Success was the most prominent theme of the fall 2007 semester. With hopes high and an abundance of positive attitudes, we contributed to the The V Foundation with thanks to alumnus Mike Inglut for his “Chance Draw” fundraiser. The “Chance Draw” fundraiser was an exciting way to have a winner almost daily. Students, parents, and alumni would purchase tickets and wait in anticipation to see if they won. We thank and look forward to the creative assistance of alumni in our future fundraisers.
In late January, the University experienced significant snowfall and was forced to close for a few days. It was perfect timing for the Chapter’s annual North vs. South game, a football game we play in the snow with the brothers from Northern Idaho and the brothers from Southern Idaho. The game was fun but slow going, considering there was close to three feet of snow on the ground. The game was a low scoring event, and the South came away with a 7-0 victory. A majority of the members played, and it was a fun way to get all the brothers together and play some football for a few hours.
Illinois State After another successful recruitment period, the Chapter continues to be successful. We have leaders like Dave Horstein, student body president, and strong development from the younger men in the Chapter in order to make things run smoothly. We signed twelve guys in the spring semester, tied for best on campus. Everything just
