Delta Chi – A “Lifelong Experience” What do you think of when you meet someone, strike up a conversation and eventually hear the phrase, “I was a member of “fill in fraternity or sorority name here”.

What I always want to ask, but don’t, is “Why did you resign?” or “Were you expelled?”.

Instead I ask what their Greek experience was like as an undergraduate. Almost always, they joined for the parties or were hazed as associate members or new members. As such, they have little respect or no interest in staying connected with their organization.

What a tragedy. An initiated member, who at one time lived and breathed for the organization, now has no interest. How did this happen?

I believe it all begins during recruitment, but it also has ties to one’s involvement as an undergraduate and alumnus. During recruitment it is vital to be recruiting prospective members who exemplify the values and ideals of our organization. The associate member “title” has two words in it. The second word is “member”. The more we can make our associate members feel like members, the more they will act like members and take seriously the responsibilities of fraternity membership.

They will be more interested in helping to run and manage the Fraternity, instead of being concerned about activities that could be considered hazing and unproductive.

This is the beginning of creating a positive lifelong experience for a member.

As student members of Delta Chi, there is a lot you can do to be involved: serve as an officer, volunteer on a committee, IFC meetings, join an intramural sports team, attend a philanthropy, as well as many other activities. It is important to remember that you will have a better fraternal experience the more you are involved with your chapter.

You will get out of it what you put into it.

As alumnus members of Delta Chi, it is important to realize the Fraternity needs you. Your days of being a Delta Chi are not over. In fact, they have just begun. You will be a brother of Delta Chi much longer as an alumnus member than as an undergraduate.

Your skills, knowledge, and experience are priceless to a struggling chapter that needs help. Your ability to mentor, advise and teach undergraduate brothers may be the most rewarding thing you can do as a Delta Chi. Keeping Delta Chi in your life is your responsibility though. Stay involved.

Join an alumni chapter. Attend a Regional Leadership Conference. Plan a trip to Convention. Volunteer to join an ABT. Or, serve as a “BB”. These activities and will help ensure that your lifelong experience is truly lifelong.

Delta Chi has approximately 80,000 living alumni. Imagine what Delta Chi would be like if only half of these brothers were actively involved in some way. How many additional undergraduate chapters and alumni chapters would Delta Chi have? How many fewer struggling chapters would we have if more alumni were involved and helping them?

How much better of an experience would our undergraduates have if more alumni were to be available to give advice and guidance?

I will quote the Cornerstone: “Brotherhood is a two way street. If you accept its advantages, you must live up to its obligations.” I believe we are all obligated to make Delta Chi better for the brothers of tomorrow. We can do this together through a lifetime of involvement.

Remember the 11th basic expectation: “I will sustain my commitment to and involvement with our fraternity throughout my lifetime.”

Do you want to make your lifelong experience with Delta Chi better? Get involved!

Cover Story

Georgia Southern ’79

VIC REYNOLDS

“

To me, brotherhood is all about having the ability to reach out and help folks. The bond - that connection we have - doesn’t end the day you graduate. If anything, it probably means more as you grow older.

Vic Reynolds, Georgia Southern ’79, currently serves as the District Attorney for the Cobb County Judicial Circuit, which is just outside of Atlanta. A District Attorney represents the government in the prosecution of criminal offenses, and Reynolds was elected to serve as the highest officeholder in the legal department of his jurisdiction.

In order to serve in this capacity, Reynolds had to win an election in a county with over 720,000 citizens. In fact, Cobb County is larger than 65% of the United States’ congressional districts.

“We we fortunate in that we had a good campaign staff,” shared Reynolds.

“We were blessed in that we raised a good bit of money for a local campaign.

I figured that if we did the things we were capable of doing - ran the kind of campaign I thought we could - it would turn out fine. And it did.”

”

simply not true. The good press you get today will go away real quick. My wife, Holly, is a great campaigner. She’s one of the reasons we won this race. She would go out to places I couldn’t be and speak on my behalf.”

Reynolds and his wife attended a total of 210 separate events during the final four months of his campaign. His two daughters also attended several campaign events.

Working to be the Best “I was fortunate here in that I inherited a good District Attorney’s office, and it has a great reputation,” said Reynolds.

Since his election, Reynolds has worked to add focus within his department on an issue important to his constituents.

“I’m very passionate about prosecuting those who commit elder abuse crime in this county,” said Reynolds. “In fact, we’ve developed a unit within the office, a white-collar unit, that is responsible for the prosecution of financial exploitation of the elderly because we’re seeing a lot of crime directed towards that group.”

Reynolds also has leveraged his background in law enforcement to add an extra are of emphasis in his office.

When Reynolds spoke and said “We,” he was referring to he and his family members, as running for public office isn’t just something one does alone. Reynolds wholly acknowledged that his success is closely tied to his family’s hard work.

“One of the other things we’ve really worked on in the first nine months here is developing a much stronger working relationship with law enforcement agencies,” Reynolds shared. “So when there’s a homicide scene or a scene involving a police officer discharging his weapon, I want my people from the District Attorney’s office there to do what we need to do and make sure that case is handled correctly.”

“You’d better have a thick skin,” shared Reynolds. “Running a contested campaign in a county with a lot of ambitious people is difficult on your family. Some things said and done can be very hurtful, and many are

Just as Reynolds humbly attributes most of his campaign success to his team, he also acknowledges that he is but a small part of his office’s success thus far.

Cover Story “I have a great staff. All the things that we’ve accomplished and will accomplish in this office have very, very little to do with me,” Reynolds explained. “I told everyone that my goal is relatively simple. I want this to be the best District Attorney’s Office in the state of Georgia. I think we’re well on our way to accomplishing that goal.”

“I always wanted to be a cop” Reynolds grew up in Rome, Georgia as the son of a textile mill worker in a mill-centric town of 410 households. He delivered newspapers during his childhood, which is why he can recall the exact number of houses in his town.

“My father was the hardest working man I’ve ever met. He worked in the mill, and he would come home and begin doing carpentry work for people he knew. He instilled in me a very strong work ethic,” Reynolds remembered.

“To me, brotherhood is all about having the ability to reach out and help folks,” shared Reynolds. “The bond - that connection we have - doesn’t end the day you graduate. If anything, it probably means more as you grow older.”

Reynolds shared that many brothers from Georgia Southern have ties to law enforcement, and he still keeps in touch with several of his brothers.

In fact, Mike Sales, Georgia Southern ’79, assisted him in his campaign for District Attorney.

“Obviously, law is one of the cornerstones of Delta Chi, and it means a great deal to our Fraternity,” Reynolds commented. “It was a strong part of our chapter at that time. We had several brothers who chose careers in law enforcement.”

Three Pieces of Advice

Reynolds’ fascination with law enforcement and public service, in fact, began at a young age.

When asked what he would share from his experience with his fellow brothers considering a career in law enforcement, Reynolds offered three insights.

“I always wanted to be a cop. I just thought it was the neatest profession.”

“First, always tell the truth,” said Reynolds. “If you do this, you’ll be fine 90% of the time and the other 10% will be fixable.”

With his passion discovered, Reynolds’ attributes his drive to seek higher education to his mother. He attended college at Georgia Southern for that purpose and returned to Rome, Georgia to serve within the Police Department. During his four years there, he married, which led to his next shift in career path. Reynolds applied and was accepted into the second class at the Georgia State Law School in Atlanta.

After graduating from law school, Reynolds and his wife, Holly, made their home in Cobb County, Georgia. Reynolds began prosecuting in downtown Atlanta and later in Cobb County.

A Taste of Public Service “I just happened to be in the right place at the right time.”

Reynolds had stumbled upon an opportunity to continue his passion for law enforcement in a new capacity. He was appointed to the bench of the Cobb County Drug Court at age 37. After his appointment in 1994, he had to participate in a contested election in 1996 to maintain his position.

Reynolds was successful, and this gave him his first experience in politics.

After six years of serving on the bench, Reynolds found himself at a crossroads.

He knew that for his career to significantly move forward, he would need to either move into private practice or run for a higher seat.

Reynolds ultimately chose to become a partner with an established lawyer in Cobb County, where he tried a number of high profile cases, many of which were featured on Court TV, Dateline, 20/20, and Snapped. After thirteen years in private practice, Reynolds had grown to miss public service. When he learned of the opening in the District Attorney seat, Reynolds found his opportunity to return to public service.

“Second, once you’re in a position where you’re working for somebody, if there’s a decision placed in front of you, make it,” said Reynolds. “This is true for law enforcement or any other type of job. One of the things that infuriated me about elected officials before I got back into public service was their inability to make decisions, particularly tough ones.”

“Third, realize that you’re a human being and you’re going to make a mistake,” shared Reynolds. “If you mess up, fess up. I tell most of my young lawyers that most of the problems we run across are fixable if we know it early enough. The important thing is to always learn from it.”

Looking Ahead Even though Reynolds is still working to ensure his team members do fulfill his goal of operating the best District Attorney Office in Georgia, Reynolds does have visions for his future.

“I could see myself retiring from this position. I love it that much,” Reynolds commented. “But I will tell you that I’m still ambitious. I think, as a public servant, if you do the job the way you’re supposed to do it and you go the extra mile, then if there’s another opportunity down the road, it’ll present itself.”

Never shedding his mother’s inspiration, Reynolds also has another potential path for himself.

“After I am done with this type of work, I’d like to teach. We’re fortunate here in that we have three great universities in Cobb County. I could definitely see myself eventually teaching.”

“It’s an honorable profession,” Reynolds added. “We need good, honest, decent, honorable folks with a lot of integrity in law and law enforcement. The reality is you’re probably not going to get rich soon, but you don’t do this for the money.”

Fraternal Ties Reynolds attended a junior college in Rome, Georgia before transferring to Georgia Southern University. Delta Chi was in the process of colonizing on campus when Reynolds arrived.

“I didn’t know a great deal about Greek Life. When I got down to Southern, I met several of the guys who were involved in this new fraternity, and I hit it off with them,” Reynolds recalled.

“One thing led to another, and I was in the group of men initiated with the help of the Florida Chapter.”

Reynolds served as “B” and IFC Representative, and one of his fondest memories from his time as an undergraduate was celebrating with his brothers at their chartering banquet.

XXX Dyken Jeremy

Oshkosh ’99

JEREMY DYKEN Jeremy Dyken, Oshkosh ’99, is, by all means, a regular guy in the Midwest. He has a full-time job, a wife, and a wonderful daughter. Like many, he found himself looking for any way to gain an edge in his fantasy football leagues.

He found that it was cumbersome to click back and forth between browser tabs constantly while setting his lineup each week. So, he wrote a script that would fetch data from all the major analysts and websites, do some specific number crunching, and give him rankings and recommendations. When it actually worked, he realized that this was something that others might be interested in.

Dyken’s algorithm seeks to provide end user rankings and scores through a crowdsource approach. The site pulls data from every major fantasy sports analyst and website, and then it calculates an aggregate ranking based on at least twelve different factors.

“I had the advantage of being first to try something like this,” shared Dyken.

In fact, according to the Fantasy Sports Trade Association, 74% of fantasy sports players view information from at least four sources in making their draft picks and lineup choices.

Dyken registered the domain, FantasyFootballNerd.com, and created a website where the general public could benefit from his algorithm. In his initial communications about the site, he signed his emails “J. Joseph Dyken.” His community began to respond to him as “Joe.” Dyken went with it, and “Joe” the Fantasy Football Nerd soon became a household name among fantasy players.

The site was built, from the ground up, so that every fantasy football fan, 6

DELTA CHI QUARTERLY

Industry analysts have released a threeyear study of the prediction accuracies among league experts from 2010:, 2011:, and 2012:. Dyken’s algorithm actually ranks third among 119 industry expert analysts.

1. JOHN PAULSEN @ 4FOR4.COM 2010: 61.3% 2012: 62.1%

2011: 63.7% Multi-Year: 62.4%

2011: 62.6% Multi-Year: 61.2%

FantasyFootballNerd.com regardless of their mathematical prowess, could easily improve their game.

“Most people don’t want to see what the standard deviation is,” said Dyken.

“I tried to design the site so my grandma could use it.”

Dyken chose to design the user interface as simply as possible, with easily explained numerical scores and color-coded analysis. Green is good; red is bad.

As his community of users grew, they made many suggestions for improvement, and Dyken naturally worked to add more statistical factors to his algorithm to improve its accuracy.

“It’s important to know how accurate the analysts are,” explained Dyken.

“I want to know what the consensus is from the analysts who have a track record of correct predictions, not just all the analysts. And some analysts, for whatever reason, are better at predicting quarterbacks, while others have a knack for picking running backs. So I built an accuracy factor into the algorithm that accounts for each position independently from one another.”

“She has offered me valuable advice about different features of the site,” shared Dyken.

Dyken and his wife do compete in a league together. When asked who does better, Dyken remarked, ”She’s an avid user of my algorithm, so I feel like I’m winning either way.”

The real winner in all of this, though, is the NFL. Fantasy sports players, on average, consume 17.89 hours of sports each week and 8.67 of related fantasy content each week. Dyken predicts that there’s still plenty of room for growth in the fantasy sports industry. With 69.4% of all fantasy sports players listing football as their favorite, FantasyFootballNerd.com’s future is likely bright.

Dyken currently serves as the ABT Secretary for the Oshkosh Colony. He lives with his wife in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

In 2008, Sara Holladay of the New York Times participated in seven fantasy football leagues and devoted one of those leagues to FantasyFootballNerd.com’s computed recommendations. She reported in December 2008 that, of all seven teams, the only one of her teams to make it to the playoffs was her team led by ‘The Nerd.’ In fact, earlier in the season, she reported that she “defied The Nerd” and it cost her a win.

FantasyFootballNerd.com saw an influx of new users as more people confirmed ‘The Nerd’s’ uncanny accuracy. Among those users is Darius Rucker, the lead singer of Hootie & The Blowfish and avid fantasy football fan.

Dyken shared that, for him and many of his fraternity brothers, fantasy football is a way to keep in touch and keep the brotherhood spirit alive.

This is likely true for many Delta Chis. According to the Fraternity Sports Trade Association, there were 33,559,990 Americans and 3,100,000 Canadians playing fantasy sports, and 78.1% of those individuals had at least a college degree.

Dyken especially notes that while 80% of fantasy sports players are male, the number of females joining leagues is growing rapidly. In fact, Dyken’s wife is an avid user of FantasyFootballNerd.com.

While the site does offer a paid premium service to generate revenue, Dyken finds his greatest joy in writing his annual ‘charity check.’ Each year, “Joe” sponsors a league where industry experts compete against each other, and “Joe,” for $500 to be donated in their name to the charity of their choice. Here’s this year’s league participants: JEREMY “JOE” DYKEN

Bruce Mohs

g n i z a m A e h T

M M h s

BRUCE MOHS Bruce Mohs, S.M.U. ’55, is an inventor, entrepreneur, pilot, devoted Rotarian, and so much more. A true believer in free enterprise, Mohs’ business career has spanned well over 50 years.

His resume would include the following occupations and industries: Tobacconist, Grocery Store, Construction, Soda Pop, Soda Jerk, Pinsetter, Chemicals, Christmas Trees, General Merchant, Inventor, Motor Vehicle Manufacturer, Lawn Mowing, Hotel Recreation, Insurance, Air Force Officer, Aircraft Parts Manufacturer, Aircraft Paint Distributor, Hotelier, Restauranteur, Publisher, Fixed Base Operator, Commercial Pilot, Air Taxi Operator, Bicycle Equipment Manufacturer, Trailer Manufacturer, Manufacturer of Reflective Devices, and Motion Picture subject. Mohs has been described as a serial entrepreneur, colorful, and even eccentric at times.

As an eight year old, young Mohs first tasted the entrepreneurial spirit by operating a “general store” out of his parents’ living room. He first learned the art of negotiation as he purchased goods from his local grocer in bulk for his operation.

He found that he could easily earn pocket money by offering free delivery of groceries with his bicycle. Business boomed until rationing during World War II forced Mohs to fold.

Mohs’ first major creative invention came to fruition during high school.

There, fourteen-year-old Mohs invented a four-passenger scooter capable of traveling long distances and reaching speeds of 60 miles per hour.

Besides using the scooter to drive friends to school, Mohs used his creation to take a road trip from Wisconsin to Kentucky. Always having a love of scooters, Mohs later invented an electric scooter with a 22-mile range and also a folding scooter that would fit inside a Cessna.

In 1947, Mohs enrolled in R.O.T.C. and then the Air Force. He later attended Southern Methodist University where he studied Business. At S.M.U., Mohs learned valuable skills that complemented his other natural, creative talents. He also joined Delta Chi, Sigma Iota Epsilon (Business

8

DELTA CHI QUARTERLY

S.M.U. ’55

Honorary Society), and Alpha Kappa Psi (Professional Business Fraternity).

Fresh out of college, Mohs returned to Madison, WI to assist his father in operating a brand new hotel, named the Ivy Inn, right near the UWMadison campus. The hotel featured 60 overnight rooms, a banquet hall which seated 225, a formal dining room, breakfast room, and cocktail lounge. Mohs recalls passing out over 48 dozen doughnuts and 20 gallons of cider during opening day to residents and guests as they toured Madison’s newest hotel. The hotel was to be his father’s retirement income, but, unfortunately, he only lived to see the hotel operate for three years. A still-young Mohs had to step into large shoes early in life as the Manager of the Ivy Inn, learning an uncountable number of life and business lessons. The Ivy Inn was a success for more than one reason, though, as this is where Mohs met his wife Jan. Mohs’ also operated the Mohs Seaplane Corporation, where he first offered a chartered seaplane service in and around Wisconsin. In doing this, he also provided free services to law enforcement agencies in transporting extradited criminals. This corporation would also serve as the basis for so many of his future inventions and products.

As mentioned, Mohs’ true passion was inventing and creating. Mohs often found himself either improving an item with an invention or creating a completely new product to fill a need not met in the open market at the time. Whether it be a more durable bike pedal, gas-powered motorbike, detachable bicycle side-car, or a convertible conversion kit for trucks, Mohs used his creative mind to create many products that were ahead of their time.

One of Mohs’ more widely popular inventions was, in fact, his bicycle sidecar. Mohs built consumer-oriented versions, and he also built sidecars for ice cream vendors, hot dog vendors, and interplant transportation.

The sidecar was featured on “The Price Is Right,” “Say When,” and an Alfred Hitchcock film.

Mohs’ most notable and personally gratifying inventions were within the automobile industry. Mohs set out to do what the vast majority of

Bruce Mohs

Opera Sedan individuals would only dream of: creating automobiles, from scratch, exactly to one’s own tastes and sense of style. In fact, Mohs created his cars to show off certain creative designs and his many patents, just as today’s automobile makers do with their concept cars. While Mohs’ automobile inventions were never mass-produced, they do each have their own place in automobile history among auto fanatics.

The Opera Sedan, Mohs’ first automobile, was built to show off over 30 unique-at-the-time safety features. Unmistakable in appearance, the vehicle has no doors. Instead, the driver and passenger enter through the rear.

On the topic of the Opera Sedan, Mohs shared: “I gave it the name Ostentatienne, using ostentatious with a feminine French ending as GM did with Bonneville Pontiac produced in Canada. That became the Parisienne. That is all I borrowed from GM. It was either that or call it the Mohs Show Off. It was built to show off my patents in the automotive safety field as they existed in 1967, in caricature form, for special emphasis.

Not too long after building the Opera Sedan, I brought it to Chicago. The reaction during the noon hour at the busiest pedestrian corner in the United States was, to say the least, traffic-stopping. Someone in the crowd yelled ‘Hey! Look at that car!’

Soon I was surrounded by people ten or twenty deep.”

The SafariKar idea came to Mohs after a safari trip with Jan. The car, true to its name, has features optimal for someone on a safari. Mohs described the vehicle’s features: “Totally padded out [to reduce noise], easy to wipe off with a damp cloth, no polishing or waxing, a hunter’s seat for the hunt, linear shaft and bushing doors, swing and sway seats, vanity with built in refrigerator, fold-down seats to become beds, and all the features for a day and/or night on the veld. A schooner of the grasslands. Rugged and ready.”

SafariKar

The other automobile that Mohs created was a nine-passenger convertible. Mohs removed the spare tire and added Goodyear Captive-Air “flat-proof” tires. Then, he converted the trunk into an additional row of seating.

Mohs had actually built a combination factory and museum in the rolling countryside outside of Madison, WI to host his ventures. In response to continuous IRS inquiries as to the nature of Mohs’ many business ventures, he actually opened an authentic German restaurant upstairs, named Der Deutsche Raum.

“I was tired of driving to Milwaukee for good sauerbraten and salads with hot bacon dressing,” Mohs recalled. “Where else could people dine and see automobiles in production?”

Collapsable Scooter

“A fine restaurant in Madison normally has about a five year lifespan, and we lasted over eight years,” Mohs added. “The experience was valuable to Jan and I, and to our kids who worked at times doing museum tours, washing dishes, or filling in wherever needed. I had grown up in a restaurant, bowling alley, and soda fountain complex at the Lark in the 1940s, and, here, my kids had the same opportunity.”

Today, Mohs resides with his wife, Jan, in Verona, WI at the site of their former automobile museum and Mohs’ ride in high school restaurant. He especially enjoys reminiscing about he and his wife’s many trips around the United States and world, and he also spends much of his time with his family.

XXXHendershot Bob

New Founder Profile: Bob Hendershot In many uncountable ways, Bob Hendershot answered the fraternity’s call on both the local and international levels. Delta Chi recognizes Hendershot as a New Founder of the Delta Chi Fraternity for his exceptional financial support.

Hendershot also received a Meritorious Service Award for his service to the Fraternity.

Discovering a Band of Brothers Hendershot’s path to Delta Chi began about four weeks before classes started his freshman year. He came to Purdue to serve as Drum Major in the Purdue Marching Band.

The Purdue Chapter had been fortunate to have three alumni heavily involved in advising the Chapter from the 1950s through the late 1980s. Hendershot was asked by Nolan Walker, Purdue ‘28, to take on one of these roles, and, in 1988, Hendershot took over as ABT Treasurer. The task at hand was to decide what to do with the Chapter House, originally built in 1927: tear down and rebuild, renovate, or move and build. In 1990, Hendershot and others had reached a decision.

“Because of parking limitations and the cost of land near us, the logical decision was to sell and build in the new Greek area that Purdue University was developing,” recalled Hendershot.

“Purdue University wanted to buy our old home, and they would also sell us the new land.”

“Needless to say, I thought I was pretty smart stuff,” Hendershot shared.

With construction plans finalized and financing obtained, groundbreaking for the new facility occurred during the summer of 1992.

When grades arrived shortly after Christmas, Hendershot learned that he was not that good. He had, in fact, passed only one course: Russian. Neither the band department nor his parents were impressed.

“Within a few weeks, I received a call from an alumnus who asked if I had seen the Lafayette newspaper,” recalled Hendershot. “Our major donor had filed for bankruptcy!

We learned crisis management rather quickly! We were able to stop the construction, but we had to use half of our cash to put the ground back as it was before the groundbreaking.”

During Spring Rush, another band member - Marv Bailey, Purdue ’70 - invited Hendershot to the house for a Rush function.

“I received a bid later, and this was the best thing I could have done. I received the help I needed throughout pledgeship, and my grades improved. [Bailey] was the “A”, and he became my pledge pop and, later, my roommate. The Chapter made sure did not get any special treatment, but they also made sure I learned to become a good Delta Chi brother,” recalled Hendershot.

Bob Hendershot

The Purdue Chapter initiated Hendershot in 1968. As an undergraduate, Hendershot served the Purdue Chapter as “D”, and he also served on several committees.

“I have always felt that if it were not for my Delta Chi brothers, I would never have achieved the success I have,” added Hendershot.

Purdue Calls Bailey approached Hendershot again in the 1980s, this time as an alumnus.

“I never hesitated to say ‘Yes’,” Hendershot recalled.

DELTA CHI QUARTERLY

Filling in the hole and sowing grass seed was not what Hendershot expected to see at the beginning of the fall semester. Because the old house was already sold, leaving the chapter effectively unhoused,

it was difficult to find support.

“John Lockhart, Purdue ’80, called and suggested that he, Bill Humphrey, Purdue ’85, and I meet in Kokomo, IN for dinner and discussions,” recalled Hendershot. “By the end of the evening, the three of us pledges to do all we could to keep Delta Chi at Purdue a reality.”

Within a week, Humphrey learned that the Alpha Delta Pi house, with beds for 80, was available. After convincing the Fraternity, Purdue Research Foundation and the Alpha Delta Pi National Foundation to participate in various loan terms, 23 young men of the Purdue Chapter moved into their new house in the fall of 1992.

Over the years, the chapter house has seen many remodeling projects.

Purdue Chapter alumni leaders have always agreed that the house must be kept alive and fresh.

Bob Hendershot

“It should provide the best educational environment, and it should be one of the cleanest facilities at Purdue,” added Hendershot.

While Hendershot took a lesser role in the chapter’s operations in 2004, others have since stepped in to assist Humphrey in providing high quality facilities for the Chapter.

Involvement on an International Scale In the early 1990s, Hendershot attended his first Board of Directors meeting for the Delta Chi Educational Foundation in Indianapolis.

At the meeting, Doc Underwood, Kansas ’51, motioned Hendershot over to sit next to him and share his meeting agenda. “[Doc] was my mentor then and for many of the following years,” recalled Hendershot.

Hendershot was elected to serve as a Director at that meeting, and his involvement with the Educational Foundation grew from that day.

“I had seen some of the names in the Quarterly, but I had never been to a Convention to experience the depth of Delta Chi’s brotherhood,” said Hendershot. “In the next few years, I was learning more about Delta Chi’s history, the roles and responsibilities of a Board member, and the purpose of the Foundation and Fraternity on an International level.”

Around 2000, Fred Hammert, Oklahoma ’60, and Michael Carroll, Auburn ’71, approached Hendershot about running for Treasurer of the Educational Foundation. Hendershot was elected, and he served

in that role for the next decade. During his tenure, he oversaw the creation of the Foundation’s “E-Chi” accounts (Educational Chapter Housing Initiatives - a term coined by John Tunila, Connecticut ’81). Because of the tax-advantaged fundraising opportunities now available to chapters for renovation projects, he attended ribboncutting ceremonies at the Illinois and Cornell Chapters.

“I always hated to hear that a chapter had closed and the house had been sold,” shared Hendershot. “The sense of belonging to an organization is emotional, but the tangible property helps brothers reconnect to their pasts.”

Final Thoughts Hendershot notes that sufficient space would not be available to list the names of every Delta Chi who assisted in his growth and development. Some of the names that come to mind when asked, though, are Fred Hammert, Oklahoma ’60; George O’Bear, DePauw ’30; and Joe Lacchia, Michigan State ’64.

Hendershot’s advice to his fellow brothers is simple.

“Get involved and grow,” he shared. “Go to Alumni Chapter meetings, Foundation Alumni Receptions, Regional Leadership Conferences, and Convention. You will be surprised that the hand of brotherhood is so accepting.”

With the help of the women of Phi Mu, we hosted a “Holiday Skate” event where we rented a skating rink in Greenville. Over 300 students attended, and the event raised $1,300 for The V Foundation. We hope to double the impact of this event next year. Our brothers also focused their efforts on creating new connections within the Greek community through formal mixers and participation in various events. Our brothers share the goals of becoming more involved in campus organizations, increase the Chapter’s philanthropic efforts, and to host a successful alumni golf tournament.

We provided supported for three children: an eleven-year old girl and two boys of six and two. Brothers contributed over $450 so that each will receive clothing items necessary for staying warm in the Ithaca winter in addition to toys and games. Brothers also participated in Movember, a month-long event in which brothers forgo shaving and grow moustaches to raise awareness and funds for men’s health. Our brothers teamed up with Phi Gamma Delta to form a 25-man team that, through various campus events, raised money for the cause.

Jonathan Barsness ’16 “E” Delta Chi has a rich and storied history with the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In 1921, back when it was strictly a law fraternity, Delta Chi founded its thirtieth chapter in Madison. The chapter was forced to dissolve after World War II and was reestablished briefly in the mid ‘80s only to find a struggling Greek community that wasn’t able to support another fraternity. This time around, staff members Evan Lieb, Rick Conti, Nick Stitt and Andrew Brugman have worked hard to lay the foundations of what we hope will soon be the top fraternity on campus.

Before the first 26 members were even initiated on November 2nd, we were hard at work getting involved in the Greek community and planning brotherhood events. In mid October, Delta Chi helped host a Greek community volunteering event ‘Trick or Treat with the Greeks,” providing a fun Halloween experience for kids in the Boys and Girls Club of Madison. We also participated in Chi Sigma Tau’s date auction to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association.

Looking forward, our colony has big plans set in motion. We intend to pin in ten more associate members before spring rush is even held. We are excitedly anticipating our overnight brotherhood retreat to the Wisconsin Dells and our philanthropy events planned for the spring semester. These include a partnered event with Buffalo Wild Wings, a ‘Pie Delta Chi’ event and possibly an Earth Ball event.

With an executive board and appointed chairmen consisting of almost exclusively underclassmen, we are looking forward to a strong start and a bright future for one of the newest colonies of Delta Chi.

NIC President and CEO, Pete Smithhisler commended all of this year’s award recipients saying, “The Awards of Distinction allow the NIC to recognize outstanding achievement and to publicize best practices among its members. This year, we had many qualified nominations and we are proud to honor these individuals and chapters for their accomplishments.”

The Chapter Award of Distinction recognizes the undergraduate chapter which is highly functioning, in compliance with NIC Standards, seeks to educate others about the benefits of a values based fraternity experience, and works to maintain a healthy relationship with their inter/national organization.

This Delta Chi chapter shines above the rest, both on their campus and throughout the nation, having been recognized 18 times in the past 23 years with Delta Chi’s President’s Cup. The chapter demonstrates a commitment to academic excellence with the highest GPA on campus, community service, and philanthropic giving. The chapter is an example of what a fraternity should be in the 21st century.
