I don't expect in My Life that everyone has been similarly lthough I was passionate about the sport, I did not possess the skills to make the junior varsity baseball team during my sophomore year in high school. From a social life standpoint, it may have been the end of that same sophomore year when I let go of my conviction that girls were the chief source of cooties. Academically, I was an above average student, but in politically correct terms I was "indefinitely deferred" in my attempt to gain admission to an Ivy League school. Hence, I arrived on the campus of Syracuse University as a freshman with only a veneer of self confidence. I pledged a fraternity in the fall of my freshman year, but de-pledged two weeks later, because I didn't understand or agree with the goal of hazing - and still don't. By the fall of my sophomore year, however, I had become aware of Delta Upsilon - a fraternity that purported to be non-secret and non-hazing. With skepticism, I attended a rush event and concluded that the DU men meant what they said. My roommate and I attended subsequent DU rush parties, and we eventually accepted bids. Such constitutes the background of nearly 20 years as a DU, and at every turn in my life since I joined, the fraternity has played some role. Here are the highlights: • I served as chapter president, and I continue to use lessons in leadership from that experience today . • I met my wife of the past 10+ years because of DU . At the time we met, she was dating another DU . Because of DU, I found my wife; because of my wife, we have two small children, who give my life its highest purpose. • Over the past eight years , my work for the DU Educational Foundation has given me the rare privilege to meet and know some of the most extraordinary leaders and servants to their communities and families in the world. I am, therefore, irrevocably indebted to Delta Upsilon for the

impacted, but perhaps there are some elements in my description with which you can identify. Let me suggest just one reason to support the DU Educational Foundation this year and annually thereafter:
In DU, you made your best college and perhaps lifetime friends; met people completely unlike yourself (and learned from them) ; were given your first chance to help lead an organization of consequence; raised your standards of behavior and achievement because brothers expected it of you; and ultimately emerged from your undergraduate career with qualities of character; culture, friendship and justice - far stronger and better developed than you would have been able to achieve on your own.
DELTA UPSILON INTERNATIONAL FRATERNITY
DU membership gave you all or some of these gifts, gifts that are sustained for 3,000 undergraduate brothers each year because alumni make contributions to the Educational Foundation. Whether it springs from gratitude, a desire to impact the lives of students, or 100 other outstanding reasons, I hope you 'll take a moment right now to make a contribution to the DU Educational Foundation. The address to do so is included below.

James E. Armstrong, Houston '00, being welcomed to DU by chapter president Mark K. Ciolli, Houston '00. In keeping with th e goal to be a chapter with tru e Renaissance men , th e Houston membership atte m pts to cover all bases in planning events. In th e past year, potential members attended a trip to th e M useum of Fine Arts , a game of Broomball (ice hockey in sneakers), Pledge Party, Culture Coffee (an evening of gourmet coffee and poetr y), all-Greek events , alluniversi ty events , and m any more. At th e H ou ston Chapter of DU, every day is a recruitment event. The chapter's recruitment committee consists of the vice president of recruitment, th e chapter president, the assistant vice president of recru itment , and thr ee men ch osen by the VP of recru itment. T he committee is respo nsible for running designated recruitment events, designing a "rush shirt" for th e next semester, acq uiring names and ph on e numbers of potential memb ers, and calling both the roster of brothers and potential members befo re every event. The VP of recruitment and president, after consulting with th e chapter, are responsible for extending th e formal bid to join the next D elta U pledge class. If a pot enti al member accept s, he is formall y introduced to the brothers present, th en th e new pled ge and the brotherhood yell th e Houston DU cheer to give the new pledge a sense of th e fam ily he has decided to join. According to the Houston DUs, th e key to recruitment is not to start at the same time as every other fraterni ty, or even start before th ey do, but to never stop recruiting. When other fraternities at U of H are tr ying to form a spring rush task force, DU is already recruiting at full force. Recruitment is easy when the chapter exem plifies the standa rds of excellence set forth in 1834 at Willi ams Co llege. Wh en the chapter has a great academic program , excellent int ramural spo rts, a loss preventi on atmos phere abo ut the chapter th at sim ply never to lerates immatur e acts of hazing or abuse of alcohol, and a cha pter of true gentlemen, men of like caliber flock to join .

In order to have a successful recruitment program the Kansas State C hapter believes all memb ers mu st be reminded and edu cated on effective recruitment styles and techniques. This can be done at the beginning of every semester by planning a recruitment worksho p during a chapter meeting. This will re-emphasize th e importance of comm unicating with pro spect ive mem bers, and moti vate chapter members about recru itment during th e up com ing semester. T he recruitment pro cess at Kansas State Uni versity is very informal and focuses prim arily on high schoo l seniors. Prospective memb er lists are provided by th e university after any pot enti al K-State st udent has indicated an interest in Greek housing, which is something th ey can indicate when applying to th e university. This list is the n distributed to all of th e fraternal chapters at K-State, and incl udes possible areas of study, high schoo l G PA, and hometown . Prospective DU members at Kansas State are selected based on high school GPA and association through another memb er. All pro spective members are put into a database and receive information about th e Fraternity. They are th en invited to recruitment seminars and rush events during the spring semester. Howeve r, not all pot enti al members are high scho ol seniors. Several potential memb ers live in th e reside nce halls and have decided to join a fraternity after th eir first semest er or first year at K-State. Often, th e first im pression of the chapter a p rospective mem ber receives is at a recruitment semi na r or rush event. T he brothers invest a lot of tim e and effort int o th ese events . There are generally three targeted recruitment events during th e spring semester. These events usually last all day and mu st be atte nded by all undergradu ate bro thers. The K-State C hapter's recruitment event themes include a pool and dart tournament, casino night, and a paint ball tournament. The pool and dart tournament takes place at a local establishment that has several poo l tables and dart boards to meet the needs of the event . Every potential member is matched up with a current member in a tournament. After the tournament, everyon e returns to the chapter house for a barbecue, and th en an informational meeting where questions that pro spective members have are answered. The day concludes with individual house tours and answering any qu estion s that prospective members might have alon g the way. The second recruitment event coincides with th e university's Open H ou se Weekend, a tim e for pot ential KSU stu dents and th eir families to visit the campus and look at hou sing on and off campus. An information al table is set up in the Kansas State stu dent uni on to prom ot e the chapter, as well as the recruitment event. M any potential members are greeted at th e uni on and given directions to the hou se. This is a great tool to brin g pro spectives by th e chapter hou se as well as an oppo rtunity to create a goo d impression with parents. During the day, hou se tours are provided to potent ial memb ers and their fam ilies. It is also a great time to answer any question s from family
formal dinners, and meetings. The fall semester is also used to start planning for recruitment events during the spring semester. This entails setting recruitment dates that will fit into the spring calendar, gathering donated gifts for the casino night, and ordering materials that will be needed for recruitment purposes.

Attendees braved the frigid temperatures, snow, ice, and uncertain air travel schedules to come together in Indianapolis for the 1999 the DU Academy. "The Ultimate Internship Chapter President" was the theme for this year's conference.
T
Made possible in part by a grant from the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation, the Academy has grown in depth of programming and active participation from those in attendance since the inaugural Presidents Academy in 1995 held in Washington, DC.
The Garfield Keynote Speaker for the 1999 Presidents Academy was Brian L. Miller, Bradley '79. Brother Miller is VP-Corporate Accounts for Brach & Brock Confections in Chicago. He received his BS-Communications from Bradley University and has held management positions since then with Procter & Gamble and Coca-Cola before joining Brach & Brock in 1988. Brian told the attendees, 'Today, as throughout history, leaders are defined in many different ways and their skills vary as much as the individuals themselves. Leaders are products of their environments and a composite of experiences. "In business and industry, a structured process regularly evaluates leadership. We get 'graded' when we look for employment and year after year with annual performance reviews.
The general format of the program is based on Team Mentor facilitated discussions. The chapter president attendees are divided into teams for the duration of the conference. Each team is assigned Team Mentors who guide the discussions of situations and problems facing the chapter presidents within that team . It has become tradition that the Opening Banquet on Friday night is addressed by the Garfield Keynote Speaker, named for James A. Garfield, Williams 1856, and supported by a special gift from a Delta U brother. Past Garfield Keynoters have included: • • • •

"Your Delta Upsilon leadership role is the internship which provides outstanding experience that will help you to realize your career dream. " A fixture of the last three Presidents Academys is Dr. Ray K. Zarvell, Bradley '68, who serves as Chairman of the Academy and was a keynote presenter throughout the 1999 program. Brother Zarvell's presentations included career clarification and development, skills, and motivation. Bradley G.

McMaster Brother Challenges University Policy Chris Bain , McMaster '98, a gra duate stude nt at McM aster University, located in Hamilton, Ont ario, is challengi ng the university ove r its refusual to recogni ze Greek -letter societi es. Chris argues that the university 's refu sal to recog nize fraternit ies is a violation of the Ontar io Province' s human rights laws. The "Mc Mas ter Senat e Polic y on Fraterni ties and Sorori ties" has been used by the university for decad es to withhold recogniti on from fraternal organi zation s at McMaster and to ban them fro m ca mpus . Brother Bain drafted a lengthy appeal which drew evidence from the Ont ario Human Right s Code, the McM aste r Anti-Discriminatory Policy, and the McM aster Polic y on Recognition of Student Campus Groups show ing that there is no basis for the Sen ate policy. In Oct ober 1998 , Brother Bain met with the Faculty Se nate Committee on Stud ent Affairs to present the appeal. A lthough the Sen ate Committee could offer no valid argument for not recogni zing fraternities and soro rities, a decision has not yet been reached in the case . If the university's Sen ate rejects the petition , Broth er Bain could appeal to the Ontario Hu man Righ ts Commission. For the late st inform ation on Broth er Bain's appea l, or to voice your suppor t, visit the McM aster Chapter website at: http://lI'lI'lI'-stlldellf.lI1clllostea o/- boillcj/lllocdll.htllll.

Alumni News Congratulations to Thomas J. Vilsack, Hamilton '72 , on his election as Governor of Iowa. The announcement of his candidacy appeared in T. Vi/sack the April 1998 Quarterly. Following his election , we asked Brother Vilsack for his comments on the campaign and his hopes for his term of office. "My campaign to be the next Governor of Iowa - and the state 's first Democratic governor in 30 years - was unlike any other experience in my life. In addition to putting more than 125,000 miles on our car, my wife, Christie , and I traveled the state's highways and Main Streets for more than a year, meeting people and talking about important issues. After being behind in every poll (including by more than 20 points on Labor Day), we defeated a former sixterm Congressman in a hard-fought campaign. "My priority for the next four years is to ensure that Iowa parents are secure about the future of their children. This includes making Iowa schools # 1 again; improving health care opportunities for Iowa children; and making Iowa the food capital of the world. Now it is time to roll up our shirt sleeves and make sure that our priorities can be accomplished within a balanced state budget."
