Our World is Dramatically Changing The change is beyond the recession and the critical issues in the Middle East. The change is beyond cars that look like insects, and beyond 4G or 5G phones that show movies; it’s beyond the iPads and Twitter. Maybe we are embarking on the end of the American culture as we’ve known it. And organizations like our Fraternity should be trying to prepare our undergraduate members for what comes next: a flat world. Perhaps we should be looking ahead to a higher jobless rate and helping our young men prepare for jobs around the world instead of just at home. Maybe we should be trying to get an American independent culture prepared for global interdependence. Living successfully in a flat world, the Renaissance Man, who has broad intellectual interests and is accomplished in areas of both the arts and the sciences, must create value on an individual basis, and expand that value as far and wide as possible. He takes small actions and gets big results. Consider today’s independent iPhone application developer. Because of technology, a corporation is no longer required to launch great ideas, develop a significant innovation, or share the visions of journalists, inventors, and educators. Silos and vertical structures are out. A life of value in the future will be defined differently and will require a new set of skills. It’s time to start thinking and acting differently. Forget the old career paths. A flat world is a different playing field. And we need to be different players. At a recent conference in Kansas City of International Educators (NAFSA), it was announced that college students around the world are preparing for the emerging global economy. However, American college students may not be as assertive. Most International students speak their language, plus English, and maybe one other. American students are primarily familiar with English only, and very few are fluent with key or strategic languages of the world. Fewer than thirty percent of Americans have a passport, while most International students use their passport as their primary or secondary form of identification. There are increasingly more indications that this generation of American college students may have the second or third job of their career in a foreign country. And, this may be the first generation that begins the major transition of American college graduates retiring in foreign countries. American college students should consider travel to vibrant economies like the BRIC countries, Brazil, Russia, India, and China. These countries are likely to be key leaders of the emerging global economy. Their economies are growing faster than the American economy. If you cannot afford to vacation in one of these counties, then look at study abroad programs or mission or service trips to some of the challenging spots around the world. And if you take the time to travel to other countries, make sure you don’t limit yourself to English speaking countries. Due to the recent popularity of the movie “Avatar,” New Zealand is a popular American student destination, yet part of the significant experience is to learn a new language and to immerse oneself in a totally new culture. Delta Upsilon is seeking to make our undergraduate experience much more relevant by envisioning a social innovation framework for the 21st century that reflects a new social contract: brothers actively and effectively serving their communities and their world, solving problems, and connecting their service to a larger effort. In June, Brothers participated in DU’s first Global Service Initiative in Jamaica. Many brothers gave funds to the relief efforts in Haiti. And while in New Orleans, more than 250 DU Leadership Institute participants served those whose lives are still affected by Hurricane Katrina. Wasting time in old systems and activities will not permit our students to develop new opportunities for success in the global marketplace. Parents and alumni, let’s commit to challenging our young members to consider a new path to career success.

By Jay Langhammer DU’s well-known author of “ The Red Badge of Courage,” Stephen Crane, Lafayette and Syracuse 1894, might have become the Fraternity’s first professional baseball player though his baseball career at Syracuse was short-lived.

“Crane, an aspiring journalist, enrolled at Syracuse University for the spring 1891 semester and turned his attention to baseball and one English class. On the field Crane started as a catcher for the Orangemen before moving to shortstop; he batted .272 in 22 recorded at-bats. A teammate said the 5-foot-6, 125-pound Crane played baseball ‘with fiendish glee.’” 1 Crane’s early passion for baseball has lived on in DU brothers over the years. More than 100 years ago, the first member of Delta Upsilon reached the major leagues and made quite an impact. Pitcher Jack Coombs, Colby 1906, pitched a shutout in his first big league game for the Philadelphia Athletics three weeks after graduation. After several months in the majors, he took the mound against the Boston Americans on September 1st, and set a stillstanding record for the longest complete game victory in history, going 24 innings in a nearly five hour contest. His 18 strikeouts constituted a new single game record at the time. Also debuting in 1906 was pitcher Leo Hafford, Bowdoin 1909, who played three games for the Cincinnati Reds. Third baseman Clayton Perry, Wisconsin 1906, played seven games for the 1908 Detroit Tigers.

In 1910, Jack Coombs was a dominant hurler with a 31-9 record, 13 shutouts and three wins in a World Series triumph over the Chicago Cubs. He won 28 games and pitched in another victorious World Series in 1911 then was 21-10 for the A’s in 1912. He fought illness most of the next two seasons then joined the Brooklyn Robins, posting 15 wins in 1915 and 13 in 1916. After 1918, Coombs retired as a player and managed the Philadelphia Phillies the first few months of 1919. He was the Tigers pitching coach in 1920 and appeared in two final games. Over 356 contests, he had a 158-110 record, 2.78 earned run average and 1,052 strikeouts. Coombs was head coach at Williams for four seasons and pitching coach at Princeton for three years before becoming Duke’s head coach from 1929 to 1952. His record was 381-171-3, earning him induction into the College Baseball Hall of Fame. Infielder Morrie Rath, Swarthmore 1911, played with Coombs on the 1909-10 Athletics and later was with Cleveland (1910), the White Sox (1912-13) and Cincinnati 1

(1919-20). He batted .254 over 563 contests. Outfielder Ray Demmitt, Illinois 1907, played with four AL clubs and batted .257 over .493 games. He was with New York (1909), St. Louis (1910, 1917-19), Detroit (1914) and Chicago (1914-15). Pitcher Nelson Good, Colby ‘10, was with Boston of the NL in 1910 and infielder David Howard, Colgate-Cornell 1911, was with Washington in 1912 and Brooklyn of the Federal League in 1915. Stan Baumgartner, Chicago ‘15, pitched 143 games for the Phillies (1914-16, 1921-22) and Athletics (192426), before becoming a longtime Philadelphia Enquirer sportswriter. Pitcher Minot “Cap” Crowell, Brown ‘15, was with the Athletics in 1915-16.

Outfielder Ed Coleman, Oregon State ‘26, broke in with the 1932 A’s, batting .342 through 26 games before breaking his ankle. He came back with a .280 or better average over the next three seasons. In his final season, he batted .292 in 92 games for the St. Louis Browns in 1936, including an AL best pinch hitting average of .323 (20 of 62). The second two pro sport player, Bernard “Bert” Kuczynski, Pennsylvania ‘43, pitched six games for the Philadelphia A’s in the summer, then got into two NFL games for the Detroit Lions that fall. He also played for the Philadelphia Eagles following World War II. Pitcher Don Grate, Ohio State ‘45, pitched briefly for the Phillies in 1945-46, then played pro basketball during the 1948 and 1950 seasons. Shortstop Harvey Kuenn, Wisconsin ‘52, played 19 games for the Tigers in 1952, then hit .308 in ‘53 with a league-leading 209 hits to win Rookie of the Year honors. A line driver hitter, he led the AL in hits four times, shifted to the outfield and was batting champion with a .353 average in 1959. He hit .308 for the Cleveland Indians in 1960 then went to the National League for the 1961-66 seasons. Over 1,833 games, the two-time

When the 1920s came along, six more DUs made their debuts. Outfielder Clarence “Babe” Twombly, Lehigh ‘17, played 78 games for the Cubs in 1920 then hit .377 in 87 games in 1920. Pitcher Edwin “Cy” Twombly, Lehigh ‘19, pitched briefly for the 1921 White Sox. The first of two DUs to play both pro football and major league baseball was outfielder Henry “Hinkey” Haines, Penn State ‘21, who played in the 1923 World Series for the Yankees before concentrating on football. Infielder Al Hermann, Colgate ‘23, saw action for the Boston NL club in 1923-24. Infielder Edward “Doc” Farrell, Pennsylvania 1923, played nine seasons for six clubs, batting .260 in 591 games. He hit a career high .316 in 152 games for the

1927 Giants and Braves. In 1927, pitcher Paul Hopkins, Colgate ‘27, gave up Babe Ruth’s 59th home run in his debut game with Washington. When he passed away in 2004 at age 99, he was the nation’s oldest former major leaguer.

All-Star Game player had a .303 average and 2,092 hits. After 10 seasons as a Milwaukee Brewers coach, Kuenn was named manager in June of 1982 and led the club to the World Series, earning Manager of the Year honors. Dick Hall, Swarthmore ‘52, signed a bonus contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates and went directly into their outfield. He played several positions before becoming a pitcher in 1955. He missed the 1958 season with hepatitis then was a leading Pacific Coast League hurler in 1959. Hall joined the Kansas City A’s in 1960 as a starter but was later moved to the bullpen with the Baltimore Orioles from 1961 through 1966. He was with the 1967-68 Phillies before rejoining the Orioles for his final seasons in 1969-71. Known for his awkward-looking, herky-jerky motion, Hall was a standout reliever, posting a 93-75 record, 68 saves and 3.32 ERA over 495 games and 1,259.2 innings.

Relief specialist Dave Baldwin, Arizona ‘60, signed with the Phillies in 1959 and spent eight seasons in the minors before joining the Washington Senators late in the 1966 season. The following season was his best as he pitched in 58 games, had 12 saves and posted a 1.70 ERA. After two more years with the Senators, he pitched 28 games with a 2.55 ERA for the first year Milwaukee Brewers in 1970 before returning to the minors. Baldwin finished his big league career in 1973 with the White Sox. Over 176 games, he had 22 saves and a 3.08 ERA. In 2007, his autobiography, “Snake Jazz”, was published by Xlibris Corporation and covers his 16 year pro career. One of the game’s great catchers, Thurman Munson, Kent State ‘69, broke in with New York late in 1969 and was AL Rookie of the Year in 1970 after batting .302 in 132 games. Over 11 seasons, he hit over .300 four times and drove in more than 100 runs three times. He was AL Most Valuable Player in 1976 after hitting .302 with 17 homers and 102 RBI, then helped lead the club to World Series titles in 1977-78. Munson’s career ended prematurely when he died in a plane crash on August 2, 1979. A seven-time All-Star Game player, he had a career average of .292 with 1,558 hits, 113 homers and 701 runs batted in

Former Buckeyes football co-captain Galen Cisco, Ohio State ‘58, broke in with the 1961 Red Sox and went to the New York Mets near the end of 1962. He had a career high 51 appearances in 1963 then pitched in 71 contests during 1964-65. After a stint in the minors in 1966, he returned to Boston for 11 games in 1967 and later pitched 15 games for the first year Kansas City Royals in 1969. Over six seasons, he pitched 192 games and 659 innings. Cisco then became a successful pitching coach for Kansas City (1971-79), Montreal (1980-84), San

Diego (1985-87), Toronto (1990-95) and the Phillies (1997-2000). His Blue Jays pitching staffs won World Series titles in 1992-93.

over 1,423 contests. The book “Munson: The Life and Death of a Yankee Captain”, was published in 2009. Another standout catcher, Jim Sundberg, Iowa ‘73, reached the majors in 1974 as the Texas Rangers starter behind the plate and he continued as a regular until 1983. He was with Milwaukee in 1984, then went to Kansas City for two seasons, catching 140 games for the 1986 World Series-winning club. Sundberg was with the Cubs in 1987-88 before returning to the Rangers for the last 38 games in ’88 and all of 1989 before retiring. He won six straight Gold Gloves (1976-81) and played in three All-Star Games. Over 1,962 career games, he had 1,493 hits, 624 RBI and a .248 average. Sundberg joined the Rangers front office in January of 2004 and is currently Executive Vice President, Communications and Public Relations.

Last season, another Delta Upsilon player made his debut in major league baseball. Non-drafted free agent right handed hurler Matt Daley, Bucknell ’04, pitched in the minors for five seasons before making his debut with the Colorado Rockies on April 25, 2009. He wound up pitching 57 games with a 1-1 record, 4.24 ERA and 55 strikeouts in 51 innings. Daley had the longest scoreless streak by a Rockies reliever, delivering 14.2 consecutive innings without giving up a run. In addition to the Fraternity’s big league players, a number of brothers have made big contributions to the game in other areas. In fact, a DU was instrumental in establishing professional baseball. In 1866, Alfred Traber Goshorn, Marietta 1877 Honorary, co-founded the Cincinnati Baseball Club and served as its first president; it became the first professional baseball team in 1869, known as the Cincinnati Red Stockings – the forerunner of the Cincinnati Reds. Later, Goshorn became the Director-General of the Centennial Exposition which was held in Philadelphia in 1876 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the signing of The Declaration of Independence.

Harry Hempstead, Lafayette 1891,

After signing with the Oakland A’s, John Strohmayer, Pacific ’68, was drafted by the Montreal Expos in 1970 and had a 3-1 record in 42 games. The next season, he posted a 7-5 record in 27 games (with 14 starts) and a 4.34 ERA. He was in the bullpen for 48 contests and a 3.52 ERA in 1972. After splitting 1973 between Montreal and the Mets, he pitched briefly for New York in 1974. Over 142 games, he was 11-9 with four saves. Lefty Charles “Buddy” Schultz, Miami ‘72, spent the 1975-76 seasons with the Chicago Cubs. In 1977, he joined the St. Louis Cardinals and posted a 6-1 record and 2.32 ERA in

40 contests. The following year, he had 62 appearances out of the bullpen, six saves and a 3.80 ERA. In his final season, Schultz was 4-3 in 31 games during 1979. Over 168 contests, he was 15-9 with 193 strikeouts in 240 innings and 12 saves.

was owner of the New York Giants from 1912 to 1919, when he sold the franchise to the Stoneham family. Lee MacPhail, Swarthmore ‘39, had a distinguished career, culminating with election to the Baseball Hall of Fame. He was director of player personnel for the Yankees from 1948 to 1958; President and general manager of the Orioles from 1958 to 1966; and Yankees executive vice president and general manager between 1966 and 1973. He was named Major League Executive of the Year while serving in the Commissioners office and was President of the American League from 1973 to 1983. MacPhail was later President of the Major League Players Relations Committee, representing owners in negotiations with the players’ association.

Jim Campbell, Ohio State ‘49, joined the Detroit organization in 1949 as business manager of a minor league club and worked his way up to the parent club as farm system business manager following the 1952 season. He was named general manager at the end of the 1962 season and spent 16 years in that role before being named president of the Tigers in 1978. Campbell later served as chairman of the board before retiring. Pat Gallagher, San Diego ‘71, has been an integral figure in the San Francisco Giants organization for more than 33 years after starting as the team’s first director of marketing. He served as Senior Vice President of Business Operations for over 20 years and took the lead role building AT&T Park, the first privately financed baseball stadium in 40 years. Gallagher’s next major position was president of San Francisco Giants Enterprises and he was named President, Giants Development Services LLC in January of 2009. This spring, Lyle McCollum, Indiana ‘02, will begin his fifth season as the Baltimore Orioles mascot, The Bird. He previously was the mascot for the Hiroshima Corp in Japan for two years. Baseball cards on loan from the collection of Jay Langhammer.

After serving as president of the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee for the 1984 Games and becoming the first sports figure named Man of the Year by Time magazine, Peter Ueberroth, San Jose ‘59, was chosen as the sixth Commissioner of major league baseball in 1984. During his five year run, he was instrumental in bringing an end to the 1985 strike, increasing minority hirings and signing lucrative TV contracts. Another DU who made quite a name for himself in another area before moving into baseball was Michael Eisner, Denison ‘64, who while with Disney, served from 1996 to 2003 as Chairman/CEO of the Anaheim Angels before buying the Topps Company in 2007. In 2010, Topps has the exclusive rights to produce cards of

major league players.

Fraternity Grows With Installations at Grand Valley State, Rutgers and Northern Illinois “In this brotherhood, Justice is our guiding principle, and as Justice is but truth in action, it is our deeds that testify our loyalty to the ideals of our Fraternity, and our worthiness to conserve the heritage handed down to us by past generations of Delta Upsilon… Into such a brotherhood, we offer you the opportunity to enter. But in entering, you must pledge undying loyalty to Delta Upsilon and its ideals.” –Ritual of Initiation, Rite II the Fraternity that they’re interested in starting a chapter. In either case, the group must meet the Fraternity’s colonization criteria, and the campus community must welcome the formation of a new group. Once the group is ready, they petition the Fraternity Board of Directors for colony status and the Board votes. If the petition is approved, Delta Upsilon colonizes on that campus and the members become colony members. Once a colony is established, the members must work to meet the Fraternity’s 11 installation requirements. It can take anywhere from one semester to two years to meet the recruitment, financial, academic, membership education, and other requirements. The process requires a great deal of preparation, motivation, commitment and guidance in order to receive a charter from Delta Upsilon. When the colony meets the installation requirements, members petition the Board for chapter status. If the petition is approved, a team is assembled and a date is set for installation. The campus community, family, friends and administrators are all invited to attend the ceremony, which includes the initiation of the members, the conference of chapter status, and a gift ceremony. Delta Upsilon’s Board has approved the petition of the Embry-Riddle Colony and plans are underway to install the Embry-Riddle Chapter in early September of 2010.

Bringing new members into the Fraternity is often described as the greatest thing we can do to ensure that Delta Upsilon’s legacy, ritual, and mission carry on. An even greater story is told when potential new brothers work and toil to construct a chapter from the ground up. Over the last academic year, Delta Upsilon International Fraternity installed the Grand Valley State, Rutgers, and Northern Illinois Chapters. Over the last decade Delta Upsilon has chartered 11 chapters. In that same period, this is the first time three chapters have been added or re-instituted to its active roll in a single year. “The road to chartering was not an easy one, but was very rewarding,” Shawn Driggers, Grand Valley State ’11 said. “The faith that we have in this fraternity is so high that we truly believe we are making a difference in our community at large. The struggles of chartering in a very short amount of time were some of the most difficult, yet best, times of my life. Without them, it would not have created a better leader in me and respectively, the members my chapter. Since colonization seven months ago, I wear proudly a bracelet with our Four Founding Principles; they challenge me every day to make sure I am Building Better Men, while building a better me.” The process of a group transforming into a chapter is different in each situation. New colonies are either started through an expansion process led by the Fraternity’s professional staff, or from a group of students indicating to

Grand Valley State Chapter On Friday, April 23, 2010 Delta Upsilon welcomed the 153rd chapter to its active roll at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan. The chartering ceremony, held at Georgetown United Methodist Church, was presided over by Brother Boyd DeVries, Michigan Tech ’95 with the assistance of Brothers Patrick Anderson, DePauw ’09, Zach Thomas, North Florida ’09, and Gordon Bothun, Carthage ’08. Executive Director Justin Kirk delivered the initiation charge to the 38 new members. Colonized in November 2009, the chapter at Grand Valley State is among the fastest colonies to reach chapter status in recent DU history. Rutgers Chapter On Saturday, May 1, 2010 Delta Upsilon reinstated the Rutgers Chapter at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, to its active roll. The chartering ceremony, held in the Cook Campus Center, was presided over by former DU Chairman Bill Messick, Lafayette ‘68 with the assistance of Brothers Scott Hahner, Rutgers ‘78, Michael Martens, Kent State ‘03, and Ken Miller, Rutgers ‘78. Executive Director Justin Kirk delivered the initiation charge to the 48 new members. Originally established as a chapter of the Anti-Secret Confederation in 1859, the chapter had been inactive since 1991.

Northern Illinois Chapter On Saturday, May 15, 2010 Delta Upsilon reinstated the Northern Illinois Chapter at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois. The installation ceremony, held in the Newman Catholic Student Center, was presided over by Brother William Malloy, Northern Illinois ‘69 with the assistance of Brothers Jordan Lotsoff, Northern Illinois ‘88, Joseph Rembusch, Northern Illinois ‘66, and Gordon Bothun, Carthage ‘08. Brother Robert Heap, Northern Illinois ‘78 delivered the initiation charge to the 28 newly initiated members. In total, 31 undergraduates and 12 alumni will be named on the re-installation charter, however several members were unable to make the ceremony due to study abroad programs and military reserve training. Thirty alumni attended the initiation ceremony to welcome our newest members into the brotherhood. Originally estabalished in 1966, the chapter had been inactive since 2000.

Chattanooga Colony The newest colony of Delta Upsilon was established at the University of Tennessee - Chattanooga on Sunday, April 11, 2010. A total of 24 men were chosen as founding fathers. The credentials of these men are outstanding. They include the presidents of the Student Government Association, the Resident Hall Association and the Golden Key Academic Honors Society. They also include members who are involved with ROTC, Chamber Singers, the American Marketing Association, The House (Campus Ministries), the Financial Management Association, varsity tennis, the Ultimate Frisbee Club and the Association for Campus Entertainment. Several members are resident assistants and campus tour guides.

The men have also shown a commitment to their studies. They earned a collective 3.15 GPA, as they organized this past semester placing them above all other fraternities on campus and nearly half a point above the all-men’s average. The Chattanooga Colony is truly excelling and distinguishing themselves. Pittsburgh Colony

Delta Upsilon welcomed a new colony of 20 men to the Fraternity on Sunday, February 28, 2010 at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania. The colonization ceremony, held on campus in the William Pitt Union, was led by Chapter Development Coordinator Gordon Bothun, Carthage ‘08. The ceremony included the swearing in of the Colony President Elliott Scranton, Pittsburgh ‘12 and the other colony officers. Several Pittsburgh area DU alumni from other chapters joined together to welcome Delta Upsilon’s first presence at the University of Pittsburgh and many members of the campus community also attended the ceremony.

Delta Upsilon Awarded NIC Laurel Wreath Award Delta Upsilon was honored with the 2010 NorthAmerican Interfraternity Conference (NIC) Laurel Wreath Award for its role in supporting the University Learning Outcomes Assessment (UniLOA) research that resulted in industry altering data on the role fraternities play in the overall college experience. The award was presented in April at the NIC Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. Delta Upsilon was joined by four other fraternal organizations interested in this research when all realized that from the UniLOA they also could measure how a man’s fraternity involvement impacts his overall student and membership development. “Thanks to this partnership we are better able to speak with scientific certainty about the impact of fraternity or sorority membership on student development and growth,” said Peter D. Smithhisler, NIC president and CEO. Delta Sigma Phi, Alpha Tau Omega, Phi Kappa Tau, and Zeta Tau Alpha shared the 2010 Laurel Wreath Award with DU.

The UniLOA was conceived and developed in response to the pressing need for an assessment instrument that would measure holistic student growth within domains considered critical by educators, accrediting bodies, employers, legislators, students, and other constituents of higher education. Drs. Mark Frederick and William Barratt, of Indiana State University, led the research that resulted in statistically significant findings that unequivocally demonstrate that fraternity membership has a positive impact on overall student development.

positive impact fraternities have on a campus and in the lives of members. Specifically, the NIC is utilizing UniLOA data to address deferred recruitment policies that are counter to NIC Standards and violate students’ right to freedom of association. Each year the NIC accepts nominations for the Laurel Wreath Award. Recipients are chosen by the NIC Awards Committee chaired by the immediate past chairman of the conference. The Laurel Wreath is presented during the annual luncheon named for the award. Founded in 1909, the NIC, through advocacy, collaboration and education, works to ensure that fraternities can operate in an environment conducive to their success.

Butler Awarded NIC Gold Medal Wilford A. Butler, Western Michigan ‘61 received the NIC Gold Medal posthumously. The NIC Gold Medal, first awarded in 1940, is presented in recognition of lifetime service to the fraternity movement and is the highest honor the conference can bestow. Butler became the second DU to receive the honor, following Past Fraternity President Horace G. Nichol, Carnegie ‘21 in 1959.

The Gold Medal Award was presented on April 19 at the NIC Annual Meeting Awards Banquet in Washington, D.C.

The findings reveal that fraternity members’ aptitude in each of seven measured areas – critical thinking, self-awareness, communication, diversity, citizenship, membership and leadership relationships – was higher than that of their non-fraternity peers. Also revealing was the data-supported conclusion that the time at which a man joins a fraternity has a direct impact on his development in each area. The research better positions the NIC to collaborate with external partners to build and maintain environments conducive to the success of member fraternities. It also allows the NIC to better advocate for the fraternity experience by further educating stakeholders about the

Recruitment Strategy Leads to Chapter Growth Bryan Griffin, Florida ’10

It’s difficult. Yet in the difficulty lies the significance. We find this a difficult, daunting task to relay to others, because DU can mean so much to a member and brother. Sure, we can all probably agree it was one of the best decisions of our lives to join Delta Upsilon, but why? To us, long ingrained with a DU way of life, we don’t need justification. We simply are DUs, through and through. But, at one point or another, we have to be able to make that feeling tangible – to convince others in the recruitment process that it is worth their investment, time, money, and energy. It is hard to explain to many what brotherhood is, or how to apply the idea of “The Advancement of Justice” in everyday life. As new member educator I once implemented an assignement to an associae member class that was grappling with this issue. I told the associate members at one weekly meeting that they had some homework – they had to go out and “Advance Justice” in some way - and then return and describe the process to the pledge class the following week. Many found this assignment vague, and after a week, limited responses were given. I continued the assignment on a weekly basis.

At first, it was slow to draw out of the associate members, but eventually, they began to understand the assignment. They would come to me weekly with stories of how they helped a classmate, assisted a peer, or showed compassion for someone in need. One helped a stranger move out of a dorm, another found time in the day to donate blood and serve at a soup kitchen. I quickly saw justice manifesting itself in numerous forms of good deeds and kind acts – but more importantly, I saw the soon-to-be-brothers recognizing opportunities to advance justice in their daily lives, more so than they had been able to before they became DUs. This ability to recognize the need for justice, no matter what that may be specifically defined to be, is an essential part of the DU brotherhood. And it simply comes from exposure to a propensity of a collective force (our fraternity) to seek out and live by such a principle. Again, to impart such a definition of DU can only be done through experience. Brotherhood is living the emotion of true unconditional friendship, an acceptance of a diverse way of living, a truly rounded character, and the active pursuance of justice. And yet we, as undergraduate members who have to sustain the membership of our organization, sometimes have only one week to convince timid and preoccupied freshman that our organization is worth their investment. A difficult task, indeed. First, remember the three main concepts of dynamic recruitment11:

As a former vice president of recruitment, and now president of the Florida Chapter, I often speak to students about joining Delta Upsilon, and try to explain to them what it can mean to be a brother of our fraternity. As a result of being confronted with such an issue so often, I have had a decent amount of time to truly reflect upon it, and to try to conceptualize what Delta Upsilon means to me. Have you ever asked yourself that question, or even considered trying to relay that to another person who is on the outside, looking in? Take a second and think about what you would say to someone who wanted to know what DU means, but hasn’t had the experience yourself.

1) Don’t rely on events. Make friends by doing small, simple activities with potential members. Meeting someone for lunch can have an exponentially greater impact than spending a lot of time and money on a large, impersonal event. 2) People don’t join organizations. Men will join Delta Upsilon because of their personal relationship with you. Take the time to meet and talk to potential members. 3) You can’t know who you don’t recruit. Build your year-round recruiting plan so that brothers are constantly collecting names of potential recruits. 1 Mattson, M. & Orendi J.

Some additional tips and tricks I developed in my time as vice president of recruitment may be useful to others. Display the ritual book to help develop the idea of being “non-secret.” Often, a potential member will invite conversation by asking about it. Let them hold it, thumb through it, and peruse our non-secret rituals. Then, dare the potential to find any other fraternity on campus that will let them do the same. Nothing better conceptualizes our unique quality of non-secrecy.

be most useful in imparting that extremely complex notion of “being a DU” to the unaware potential. I hope these helped, and I hope they are modified to fit your recruitments. Adopting a deliberate recruitment strategy helped our chapter see a five man increase last spring, and a ten man increase in the fall. Recruitment must come from the heart, and your experiences at DU must guide your method of recruiting. Best of luck to all, and here’s to the future of such a great organization: Dikaia Upotheke.

Set up a display board with a listing of brotherhood activities, chapter trips, famous alumni, intramurals, on campus-involvement, and interesting facts specific to your chapter. This helps spark conversation,

TOP

If you have a chapter house, organize it in a way that promotes tours, and helps you remember the selling points of the chapter. It is not cheating to use pre-deployed materials in your tours. Often simply asking, “Would you like a tour?” is the easiest way to vet the interest of a potential member , and begin to explain to him why he should join.

Undergraduates, talk to alumni! Alumni, even if you are not involved with your chapter on a regular basis, talk to undergraduates. Alumni can share amazing insight, interesting chapter history, and stories and anecdotes to share with potential members. Most alumni can tell you about a brother who recruited them and how a personal connection helped make the decision to join Delta Upsilon. If your campus maintains a formal recruitment period, make sure the last day is all about brotherhood. I implemented a now traditional practice of our Friday event being “Brotherhood Night.” The night consists of all undegraduate brothers and some alumni joining together with potential members. Everyone sits in a giant circle and one at a time, brothers stand in the middle of the room and share funny or moving experiences about life as a DU. A sharing of experience from such a variety of individuals is sure to help personalize the experience and impart the true meaning of Delta Upsilon to the interested potential member.

Confronting Bystander Behavior But why? It’s been ingrained in us since birth to not step in when we see something is wrong. It’s been ingrained in us as adults not to project our values on others and to keep our thoughts to ourselves - even when we disagree with things going on around us. It’s been ingrained in our culture that it’s safer to pretend like we do not see others acting inappropriately even though we know someone can get hurt - physically and emotionally. As fraternity men, we work to put an end to bystander behavior within our communities and within our chapters. We can take actions that would make our Founders proud. We can step in when we see or know of something that we believe to be illegal or morally wrong.

Delta Upsilon Fraternity is made up of some of the world’s brightest and best men. You are smart. You are unique. You are going somewhere. You have individual and common values. You are committed to making a difference on your campus and in your community. Why don’t we make a stand when we see something that is wrong? If we feel uncomfortable, why don’t we ask an authority to do something? Why don’t we ask the hard questions? Or why don’t we summon the courage and one another to stop things that can be harmful to each other and to our chapters? Why don’t we respond when needed? In short: why are we bystanders? Barriers to Intervention The act of not stepping in or stepping up when we see something we know to be illegal, morally wrong or harmful to others or ourselves is scientifically known as bystander behavior. The reasons why most people do not intervene or confront others’ negative actions are known as barriers. Below are the five barriers to intervention. Social Influence - a situation that may feel harmful to you, but you assume your reaction is unique because no one else is reacting.

yourself out or call attention to yourself. Diffusion of Responsibility - assuming that someone else will do something, thereby eliminating yourself from the responsibility of intervening. Fear of Retaliation - fear of negative consequences or retaliation as a result of intervening. Pluralistic Ignorance - when most people in a group are concerned and want to act, but incorrectly believe that they are in the minority. What Can You Do? Simple: when you see something that you feel is wrong, say something. Often, it’s as simple as questioning the behavior, confronting someone, having a conversation with that individual about their behavior, or reporting it to a higher authority. Different situations require a different level of intervention, but doing something to stop immoral, illegal, or inappropriate behavior is far better than doing nothing at all. If you do not feel comfortable taking action on your own, there is nothing wrong with seeking support. Turning to a trusted friend, advisor, professor, counselor, or parent to ask questions about what you should do is always a good idea. Sometimes it’s hard to intervene on your own, but when you have the support of others, it becomes much easier. How Do I Learn More? DU has developed a program for chapters to train our members on ways to recognize and minimize bystander behavior.This interactive program is designed to help you and your brothers learn how to intervene in situations that you often have to deal with in college.

Don’t snitch, don’t tell, mind your own business, don’t make a scene, don’t act, just let it go, be the bigger man.

The program includes video segments in four different areas, including training on intervention. Delta Upsilon Bystander Intervention Training Resources. If you have any questions about this program, please feel free to contact Andy Bergman at 317-875-8900 or bergman@deltau.org.

North Florida Undergraduate Praised for Not Being a Bystander Earlier this year Delta Upsilon Fraternity was contacted by the parents of a college student who was injured when another driver ran a red light. The parents praise the quick actions of a DU brother who did not stand by and wait for someone else to act. He was alert and aware and responded immediately to a critical situation. “We are writing to let you know of the heroic efforts of one of your members. In the wee hours of the morning of November 19, 2009, a crash was heard outside the apartment of Trey Smith, North Florida ‘12. As luck would have it, Trey just happened to be awake studying, happened to have his window open, happened to hear a crash and happened to know about rescue procedures. What was not just luck, but quality of character, Trey, being the type of individual that he is, ran outside and was one of the first responders at the scene of the accident. The crash victim was our son who had been seriously injured by a driver who ran a red light, just a block from his dorm. It is without question that Trey began a chain of events that saved our son’s life. He responded instantly, then level-headedly assessed the critical situation at the scene of the accident and immediately called 911 with the appropriate code to get an urgent EMT response.

Every once in a while you hear about heroes. Trey is our real life hero. It is a rare and special individual who is not only concerned about others, but acts.

John A. Delaney, Florida ’77 receives Fraternity’s Highest Honor By Craig S. Sowell, Houston ‘92 His fraternal contributions are equally as impressive as his personal accomplishments. After serving as the undergraduate president of the Florida Chapter, and subsequently following his graduation, Brother John A. Delaney, Florida ‘77 did not answer a call to service, serve and move on, but rather he made his support of Delta Upsilon a life-long endeavor: the mark of a true DU man.

On Friday, February 19, 2010, surrounded by a few friends and alumni brothers, Brother Delaney was awarded the DU Distinguished Alumni Award, the Fraternity’s highest honor. Brother Steve Rowley, Ohio ’65, Chairman of the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation, presented the award to Brother Delaney in a brief ceremony in Phoenix, Arizona. Brother Delaney was born in Michigan, and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio before moving with his family to Jacksonville, Florida when he was 16. He joined Delta Upsilon at the University of Florida where he graduated in 1977, followed by a law degree three years later. In 1981, he passed the Florida Bar and was hired by State’s Attorney Ed Austin. John eventually became the Assistant State Attorney and General Counsel before becoming Ed Austin’s Chief of Staff after the latter was elected Mayor of Jacksonville in 1991. After Austin decided not to run for re-election in 1995, it paved the way for Delaney to run for mayor himself. In 1995, he was elected as the first Republican Mayor of Jacksonville since 1888. He then became the first to ever win re-election to a second consecutive term. He was one of the most popular mayors in Jacksonville’s history, enjoying consistently high approval ratings and running unopposed for his second election.

At the end of his second term in 2003, Delaney was appointed to the presidency of the University of North Florida, a post that he continues to hold today. Under his direction and leadership, UNF reaffirmed its commitment to students, continues to lead the nation in the flagship areas of Community Nursing, International Business, Transportation and Logistics and Coastal Biology; and is currently undergoing the biggest construction project in its history, including a new residence hall, Student Union building, a new College of Education and Human Services building and an additions to the College of Health. As the University’s chief fundraiser, Delaney has nearly doubled the University’s privately-funded endowment during his tenure. Delaney served Delta Upsilon on the Fraternity’s Board of Directors from 1993 to 1995, and in 2002, he joined the Board of Trustees of the DU Foundation where he has served ever since. Not only has the Foundation grown during his leadership, but the positive attitude and thought provoking counsel that he continuously displays with regard to the Foundation or Fraternity keeps both organizations on their toes. John has shown his leadership in a number of areas, but lucky for us, DU has been one of the organizations with which John has chosen to spend his valuable leadership and volunteer time. In his more than 35 years of DU membership, he has stayed true to his Oath, not only giving back what DU has given to him, but maintaining the traits and expectations of a DU man all along the way. In his acceptance, John showed his typical modesty and gratitude, saying that “there are others in this Fraternity much more deserving than me,” which is exactly why people like John Delaney receive this type of recognition.

Ohio State Alumnus, Runs for Congress By Stephen D. Cheek II, Ohio State ‘11

Republican candidate for Congress Steve Stivers, Ohio State ‘89, along with just nine other Republican candidates throughout the nation, has been recognized by Time Magazine for his role in what is expected to be a very close election. The possibility of Stivers pulling off a win similar to that of Scott Brown, in which the longshot Republican prevailed over the favored Democrat, has Time labeling Stivers as a potential “Republican Surprise.” After being defeated by Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy in 2008 by a slight 2000 votes, Stivers is working hard and maintaining a positive attitude in this year’s upcoming election. Stivers will run against Kilroy again in November, and hopes to pull off a Scott Brown-like win. “Stivers is back for a rematch, this time with promises of heavier backing from House minority leader John Boehner and the Republican Party — and an attitude,” Time says. For Stivers, maintaining a positive attitude throughout the campaign has been made easier by his personal experiences. As a member of the Ohio National Guard

since 1985, a current lieutenant colonel, and after spending time in Iraq, Stivers says he is capable of managing any political negativity brought on during the election. Carte Goodwin, Marietta ’96 Tapped to Fill Vacant Senate Seat In July, Carte Goodwin, Marietta ’96 was tapped by West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin to fill the U.S. Senate seat left vacant by the death of Robert C. Byrd. Byrd was the Senate’s longest-serving member when he died in June at the age of 92. Goodwin took the oath of office on July 20, 2010. The 36-year-old Goodwin who had recently returned to private practice as an attorney, was Manchin’s general counsel from 2005 until early 2009. He was considered to have a key role in drafting mine rescue and safety measures passed after fatal accidents at West Virginia’s Sago and Aracoma coal mines in early 2006. Goodwin will hold the seat until November, when a special election will be held to determine who will serve the remaining two years in Byrd’s term.

DU Father’s Hope for Young Children Brother Tracy VanHoutan, Iowa ’95, and his wife Jennifer are the parents of three beautiful children— six-year-old Noah and twin four-year-olds Laine and Emily. Noah was a perfectly healthy, active little boy who loved baseball and trains. When he turned three, he began experiencing a number of seizures and in the last two years has lost most of his speech, his ability to feed himself, and his ability to walk unassisted. Laine is an energetic preschooler who skips rope and devours strawberry ice cream. In August 2009, she experienced her first two seizures.

In March 2009, Noah was diagnosed with Batten Disease: a rare, degenerative childhood disease that is slowly shutting down his brain. On August 17, 2009, exactly five months to the day of Noah’s diagnosis, the family received the devastating news that Laine had also been diagnosed with Battens. Laine’s fraternal twin sister Emily has been tested and does not have the disease. Batten Disease, also known as Late Infantile Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (LINCL) is a genetic ailment. Both

Tracy and Jennifer unknowingly carried a recessive gene that gave each of their children a 25 percent chance of having the disease. It occurs in an estimated two to four of every 100,000 births in the United States. Over time, children affected by Batten Disease suffer from epilepsy, become unable to communicate and mentally impaired, and lose their sight and motor skills. Eventually they become tube fed, bedridden, and suffer from dementia. At this time, Batten Disease is always fatal and ends in death, usually between the ages of 8 and 12. Because it is so rare, Batten Disease is called an orphan disease and receives very little federal funding. As a result, research is years behind where it should be, according to experts. The VanHoutans live in suburban Chicago and are working tirelessly to raise funds for medical care of their children, and to support research initiatives that could identify a cure. “Every day we work to try to find new options for the kids,” VanHoutan said.“No one has ever beaten this, but eventually someone will. We are hoping that it will be us.”

Many friends of the VanHoutans, including Craig Barone, Iowa ’94, and Basil Weaver, Iowa ’93, are helping support the cause with fundraising events in the Chicago area. Jagger Copely, Iowa ’94, ran the Des Moines Half Marathon in October 2009 to raise money and awareness. At the Iowa Chapter’s alumni golf outing last June, brothers donated money and wore blue bracelets that read www.noahshope. com to show their support. Please visit www.noahshope.com to learn more and to donate online. Alternatively, contact Greg Lamb, Iowa ’94, if you would like to organize a chapter or alumni fundraiser for Noah’s Hope at greg@alumni.uiowa.edu. Every childhood disease deserves a cure. Together we can make a difference for Noah and Laine, and for our brother in his time of greatest need.

Calgary The Calgary Alumni celebrated the 20th Anniversary of Delta Upsilon at the University of Calgary on March 13th, 2010 at the Parker House restaurant in downtown Calgary.

Carthage Gordon Bothun, Carthage ’08 was selected as an NIC Meeting Ambassador at the NIC Annual Meeting April 1720 in Washington, D.C. The Ambassadors serve as part of the NIC logistical team at the meeting and are involved in conference preparation, registration, introducing sessions, and logistical concerns. Ambassadors are generally entrylevel professionals and/or consultants for any of the men’s 73 fraternities and go through an application and interview process. Central Florida Province Governor Phil McDaniel, Central Florida ‘03 was named Greek life Administrator of the Quarter by Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity. A former leadership and expansion coordinator, McDaniel has worked in the university Greek Life realm since 2005. He began at the University of South Carolina and moved to UNCW in 2007. He believes the Greek experience is an important part of college. “It is the values our organization are based on that make the fraternal experience so important,” said McDaniel. “Every

year, more and more students are coming to college seeking out this experience. No longer are members looking to join organizations rooted in excessive drinking and hazing. They seek out organizations that have purpose, a vision, and can help make them a better person.” Creation and implementation of UNCW’s new Fraternity and Sorority Life Strategic plan has been one of the primary focuses since McDaniel came to the University. This is one of the first times both students and administration have chosen to be intentional about growth and progress of the community and fraternal experience. In addition, he has been pushing a recruitment system revolving around personal interactions and values. This is a work in progress, he said, but the focus is getting the Greek community to learn valuable interpersonal skills many lack as a result of the increased social media platforms. Working with Greek Life on a daily basis has strengthen his views that members are some of the most motivated, intelligent and involved students on campus. “I enjoyed witnessing all of the positive change and impact our members make on a daily basis. I know there are many people who have a negative view of our organizations, but I believe these are just people who are buying into the stereotypes and not taking time to actually meet our members. I think if they took the time to interact with out students, they would be just as amazed as I am about what they can and do achieve.”

Chicago Delta Upsilon Foundation Trustee James D. McQuaid, Chicago ‘60 was recognized for his commitment to his University of Chicago college reunion class by serving as gift chair and class agent, and for his dedication to students by establishing the James D. McQuaid Scholarship Fund. As well as for his distinction in serving as international president of Delta Upsilon, and for his leadership in alumni volunteer activities. McQuaid wrote, “The University’s approach of teaching a student to learn how to learn has greatly influenced all parts of my life. I found that I had to learn how to manage my own time, learn many new things that I had never experienced before, and meet many new people with many different backgrounds than me. My Fraternity experience taught me the value of friendship and teamwork and also gave me an opportunity to learn how to lean by being the president of the chapter” “After graduating, I was able to secure an entry-level programming position because my pure math degree matches the education of one of the company’s best programmers. The University’s teaching me to learn how to learn allowed me to quickly learn subjects that were very new and always changing. Learning how to lead helped me to move into management.” “I was able to finish my last two years in college because the University arranged for a student loan to pay for my tuition and allowed me many years to pay it back. In the mid-1980s I started giving back to the University through scholarship and volunteering, like being a member of the Alumni Board of Governors. I also started giving back to my fraternity Delta Upsilon and my industry.”
