Bhavik Vashi “E” We’ve always prided ourselves on our academic performance and achievements. This year, we were once again recognized for earning the highest GPA among fraternities and sororities on campus. In addition, we had four brothers accepted into the prestigious HAAS Undergraduate School of Business. One particular brother has taken our tradition of excellence to an unprecedented level. After years of hard work, Michael Waks ’11 was accepted into Harvard Law School and will begin his legal studies there this fall. His achievement has inspired us to push ourselves further.

ALABAMA 60 2.55

Joseph Ritchey “E” We’re focusing on improving our operations this year. Last fall, we had an outstanding semester with our recruitment efforts, alumni relations, and active member retention. Our GPA is also on the rise. This spring, we plan to continue building our image with the addition of four associate members and more philanthropic involvement.

Matthew Greene “E” 73 2.76 Recently, two Kappa Delta Sorority sisters were involved in a serious car accident that took the life of the driver, Michelle Bonasera. Andree’ Maxwell, a close friend to many of the brothers and one of the passengers, sustained significant injuries and is completing rehabilitation in Spokane, Washington. We teamed up with the women of Kappa Delta to execute a coin drive to help with the medical bills for both families. Through our efforts, Kappa Delta and Delta Chi raised over $7,500. We’re continuing our effort to raise even more funds and hope brothers will keep Michelle, Andree’, and their families in your thoughts and prayers.

Craig Kassek “E” We worked hard to plan our annual Byron Cherry Invitational golf tournament, which occurred on April 30, 2011. Brother Cherry lost his life as an undergraduate in a tragic car accident. Since his passing, we’ve hosted this commemorative outing to honor his spirit, with our funds this year going to the V Foundation. Our donations came from mulligans, team fees, sponsored holes, and regular donations.

ArIzoNA 42 2.59

Thomas Milillo “C” After an extensive reorganization, we’re focused on getting back on the path to success. We’ve been planning new community service projects with local associations and schools. We’ve also been planning a brotherhood trip to boost morale and bring the members together. We are confident that, by next fall, our newfound motivation will allow the Chapter to be reborn in accordance with the values of the Fraternity.

Brian Kincaid “E” This spring, we’ve pledged over 700 community service hours and have committed $3,000 to the V Foundation. We’re getting involved with local trash pickups and well as a community service event with St. Luke’s Children’s Hospital. This spring marks our 10th anniversary since re-chartering, so we’ve been working to send commemorative postcards to our alumni.

Ben Dixon “E” While one hopes that life’s many turns will always be full of enjoyment and excitement, we’ve learned that tragedy can strike at any time. The mother of one of our brothers is currently battling a life-threatening fight with cancer. We’ve dedicated our annual coin drive to her and have donated the proceeds to the V Foundation. In total, we raised over $1,000.

Sean Pabon “E” Our annual “Miss Aphrodite” event was held on April 7, 2011. This event consisted of a talent show, during which one woman from each sorority competed in a number of skits and dance routines. Money was raised through ticket sales to all of Greek Life and a “Penny Wars” competition. All proceeds from the event went to the V Foundation. “Miss Aphrodite” has been one of the biggest events of the year within the Greek community, bringing everyone together for a good cause and fun night!

Shaun Crimmins “E” Last fall, we planned and executed a clothing drive to help those in need of warm clothing during the cold holiday season. We made signs advertising the event on campus and utilized Facebook to reach out to over 500 students. Overall, we collected 250 articles of clothing to donate to Our Lady of Good Help, a local church. We hope this event will allow those on our campus and in our community to see that we are truly committed to philanthropy and service.

CAL poLy 103 2.82

Matt Freie “E” For the second year in a row, the Mustang Daily chose Delta Chi as the best fraternity on campus, with support of a vote of students on campus. This is indicative of our hard work at maintaining positive relationships across campus. In addition to campus involvement, several members are on the Board of Directors for their colleges, which has increased our professional image as well.

CALIforNIA uNIv.-pA 13 3.03

Craig Miller “E” This spring we’ve focused on increasing our exposure on campus. We held an event in the Student Union and played Apples to Apples, Risk, video games, and corn hole.

John Shorter “E” On February 12th, we took a road trip to visit The University of Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh Chapter. As we initiated one new member, we were able to, for the first time since our founding last November, observe our Ritual and internalize its meaning. We really enjoyed meeting all of the Brothers in the Pittsburgh Chapter, and we learned a lot from them over the weekend. We’d like to thank the Chapter for such a great experience!

Eastern Washington’s Growth Fuels

Success Patrick Lashway “E” 27 2.42 When Kyle Waletich, Oregon State ’08, visited us as a Leadership Consultant, he challenged us to work harder towards the goal of chartering. When he asked our 11 members why we haven’t chartered yet, we sat in an awkward silence, because we didn’t know to respond. He told us, “You haven’t chartered because you haven’t decided to be a chapter yet. You haven’t decided to be great yet.” He then helped us re-evaluate our assumptions about recruitment and operations. In less than one year, we’ve grown from 11 men to almost 30 members who now do far more work than talking. We have operating committees, are working to be involved on our campus and in our community, and now have a functional ABT and House Corporation. We’ve also moved into our first house. For many of us, the progress we’ve made seemed so out of reach only one year ago. While we still have many things to work on, we’re grateful for Kyle’s help and wanted to take this opportunity to thank him. Thank you for helping us finally decide to be great!

CeNtrAL MIChIgAN 45 2.53

Keith Roberts “E” We’ve been working hard in preparation for our annual Kimball Golf Outing. On April 16th, 2011, brothers and alumni teed off at 8 a.m. and golfed until about 5 p.m. It was a fun and relaxing time for those in attendance. We look forward to seeing more brothers make the trip back next year!

CeNtrAL MISSourI 41 2.80

Gabe Bure “E” During January and February, we volunteered our time over weekends to help build a house with Habitat for Humanity in Leeton, Missouri. This turned out to be a great series of brotherhood events for our men, and we logged over 100 hours of community service. We’d also like to thank all of the Chapters and alumni who attended and helped with the recent Regional Conference. Thank you for making this year’s conference a memorable, record-breaking event!

Eric Luther “E” This spring, we’re focusing our attention on giving back to our community and campus. We adopted a section of the main road through campus and have been working to keep it looking great. We paired with the women of Kappa Delta for Relay for Life and have exceeded last year’s fundraising goal tenfold already. We’re looking forward to our “Ace of Cakes” Baking Competition, where each sorority will compete to have the top cake. We intend to raffle the cakes off within our community to raise money as well. Our hope is that through these continued initiatives, we can shape the future of an involved Greek community.

CoAStAL CAroLINA 36 2.55

Jimmy Turnmeyer “E” We’ve welcomed 11 men as associate members as part of our Nu class.

We’ve currently completed 677 service hours and are working hard to reach our goal of 1,000 by the end of the spring. Josh McCall ’14 also won the “People’s Choice” award during Gamma Phi Beta’s “Big Man on Campus” event.

Chris Cook “E” Since last spring, we’ve grown from eight men to over 20 men in the Chapter. Because of this, we received two awards, including the Recruitment Award, at our Regional Leadership Conference this spring.

The Duquesne Chapter, continuing our affinity for public service, partnered with the Circle K club in hosting the first annual “I Got Snagged for Jimmy V.” This event included numerous games, raffles, and other activities promoting cancer research. “I Got Snagged for Jimmy V” brought together numerous Duquesne clubs and organizations, as well as others from the Duquesne community, to raise awareness of the V Foundation and what it stands for. With the aid of the Duquesne community, the Pennsylvania State House of Representatives declared February 12th, 2011 “Jimmy V Day” in recognition of the foundation and our philanthropy work. Together with Circle K, we raised over $3,000 towards the V Foundation for Cancer Research.

We expect to raise between $3,000 and $5,000 for the V Foundation through our annual “Don’t Drop the Ball” event this spring. We’ve also formed a team for Relay for Life and hope to continue our tradition of raising the most money for this event as well. We’re also looking forward to our annual “Braveheart” brotherhood event. Our Chapter recently earned the highest GPA among fraternities. Finally, we’ve created a Housing committee and are working to obtain a house within the next few semesters.

Mankato Brother Creates Non-Profit

Jared Hensch “E” 13 2.72 Sheka Mansaray founded 50Strong50Wise, a charitable organization to benefit school children in Sierra Leone, after realizing the need to improve education when visiting family from his country. Children were being sent home because they couldn’t afford to pay the school fees mandated by the national government. 50Strong50Wise will give local children $100, $50 to be allocated for school fees and $50 for books and school expenses. His mission is to raise $10,000, enough to send 50 children to school and possibly fund a new school building in his hometown. Mansaray is also active in the Minnesota State University Student Association and has founded Voice & Vision, an organization on campus allowing students to express themselves through performance art.

We’re excited to have Brad as a member and are looking forward to seeing him bring his skills to our Colony.

Steven Moshinksi “E” We’ve started a weekly tailgate to support our basketball team and boost our presence on campus. Each week we invite brothers, potential new members and women from the Greek system to join us at the tailgates. So far, we’ve had the women of Sigma Sigma Sigma and Theta Phi Alpha accompany us. Next year, we hope to have a different fraternity or sorority join us each week.

Our team danced for 30 hours, non-stop, and raised $10,000 for the Children’s Heart Foundation. We wrote letters to friends and family, went caroling before the holidays, hosted a “munchies” night, and went “canning” throughout our community to raise money. Our work for this year’s Dance Marathon has yielded our largest donation in recent years.

Jazz Rucker ’11 was recently honored as a member of this year’s “Mizzou 39,” a group of 39 seniors recognized for their outstanding academic achievement, leadership and service to the University. All of these organizations are highly selective, and involvement requires multiple rounds of interviews.

We took the time during our events to have meaningful conversations with potential new members, so we could see if their values aligned with our Basic Expectations. Despite not having a house, we’re confident that, with continued attention to putting our best foot forward in regards to recruitment, we’ll continue to attract a high caliber of student to our Fraternity. Two comments were heard by countless potential new members: “I was against joining a fraternity until I got to know you guys,” and “You guys really seem to have a strong brotherhood. That’s what I’m looking for.”

On February 27th, the Brothers of the Pittsburgh Chapter held a Lavalier Ceremony for Megan Neuf, the longtime girlfriend of our “B”, Greg Nicosia. Greg has always been one of our most active members, and, by extension, Megan is also around the Chapter often. She even assists with our fundraising efforts. Every week, Megan helps out with our Unlimited Pancakes Thursday, where we offer unlimited pancakes for $2 per person, along with hot chocolate for $0.25 and two for a dollar hash browns. Many of the Brothers are close friends with Megan because of her frequent involvement. The ceremony was relatively low key, and we finished off by singing “Delta Chi Sweetheart” and “The Bond Song.” We are proud to welcome Megan into a closer bond with our Chapter and to celebrate the love she shares with our brother. Greg had the following to say of the ceremony: “I’m proud to say that I am, in part, responsible for keeping a cherished Delta Chi tradition alive at our Chapter. While it appears as though I’m the second or possibly third brother of our Chapter to hold a Lavalier Ceremony, no current active member was around to witness those ceremonies. This special ceremony really allowed me to share the bond and love I feel from Delta Chi with someone who I truly love and respect and want to spend the rest of my life with. While she’ll never know our secrets and the reasons why we conduct ourselves as we do, she’ll always know that I value her as my friend and companion as much as I cherish the bonds I’ve established within Delta Chi.”
