Keeping the Hero Alert In the fine tradition of high-seas heroism, Captain Richard Phillips traded his safety to save his crew from the buccaneer bandits roaming his ship. Phillips, 53, is a former Boston cab driver. Growing up, he was an athlete and plenty tough. Phillips had ideas of studying international law, but transferred from the University of Massachusetts to the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, graduating in 1979. Since then, he has traveled the world at the helm of multimillion-dollar commercial tankers and massive cargo ships. US Airways pilot Captain Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger III, safely landed his plane in New York’s Hudson River on January 15 after it was struck by geese and lost power following take off. All 155 people aboard survived. Sullenberger graduated from the Air Force Academy in 1973 where he studied psychology and served as a glider pilot instructor. When he was commissioned, Sullenberger was named best aviator in his class, winning an award called “Outstanding Cadet in Airmanship.” He served in the Air Force until 1980, when he became a commercial pilot. Sullenberger, who lives in Danville, Calif., has flown for US Airways for nearly 30 years and runs a safety-consulting firm. We need heroes. Maybe with all the bad news around us we need heroes to counter. I have never been a hero worshipper. I admire a great many men for their talents and abilities, and how they have been able to make tough decisions in the face of great circumstances, like Judge Terry Bulluck, Kansas State ‘61 and our brothers presented here in this issue. But many of the men the media pitches to us as heroes are just common, every day men who within one single moment took control of their nerves, emotions, and their cognitive abilities to do something extraordinary. Instead of putting these men on a pedestal, I have asked myself if I would have had the presence of mind to react so courageously, and with such precise instincts. Somehow I don’t think those incredible moments just happen. I think these, and many other, men have in some incredible ways been preparing for their life-changing moment. In our rush through life, we may miss those training opportunities. Or we may simply ignore them because we don’t want to get involved in some matters of life. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Heroism is an obedience to a secret impulse of an individual’s character.” I believe we can hone those impulses by responding to personal incidents. Maybe we should respond to that quick impulse on the second walk-by a brother passed out on the couch and stop to see if he is breathing or functioning properly. Or maybe you listen to your gut when it says “that’s enough alcohol,” because in that cosmic moment your gut is trying to warn you that you will need a sharp mental presence ahead as a truck just spilled vegetable oil all over the interstate. After swerving recklessly, you pull over in one of those sweaty breathless moments and realize what may have happened had you not listened to the impulse. Emerson also said, “The youth, intoxicated with his admiration of a hero, fails to see, that it is only a projection of his own soul, which he admires.” I agree. There is a hero in all of us. To keep that hero in us alert for our moment of challenge, we should keep our minds sharp, and eliminate toxins of spirit and substance. In this period of unprecedented change, all of us at some point may be asked to do the extraordinary. We may not make the front pages or the TV news shows. But we should all be so alert that when the opportunity calls, we will be prepared and we will respond.

Our American Brothers In Arms By Rodney M. Blaco, Cal Poly ‘97 Justice our Foundation. We recite these words in our Ritual and they serve as the cornerstone of our Fraternity, but how often do we reflect on what actions truly demonstrate and embrace justice? For some of our brothers, their commitment to the embodiment of justice extends beyond their fraternal oath as they have made the ultimate commitment to stand up for what is just and right by serving their country. President James Garfield, Williams 1856 said, “Territory is but the body of a nation. The people who inhabit its hills and valleys are its soul, its spirit, its life.” This is true of our Fraternity. Although each Delta Upsilon chapter defines a physical territory, our individual brothers are truly the soul, spirit, life and embodiment of our Fraternity.

While most of us go about our daily lives punching our time clocks, worrying about whether our morning coffee is just right, or if our summer is flying by too fast, there are brothers who wake up every morning facing life and death obstacles. These brothers have made a great sacrifice in choosing to serve their country. They spend time away from family and friends and put their lives at risk sometimes on a daily basis. These brothers cast a reflection upon our Fraternity that should make all brothers proud. Every time we see the American flag fly, we should each pause to remember that regardless of our political affiliations and leanings there are brothers sacrificing and dedicating themselves to justice and the continued independence, success and greatness of the United States.
Captain Gregory “Bret” Wedding, Central Florida ‘99
A number of brothers currently serve stateside and in Iraq, Afghanistan and other areas of operation around the world. The call to serve one’s country reaches out to each man differently drawing him into his chosen branch of the armed forces. Our brothers all have their own reasons for joining, but several made the decision to enter with one common thread -- their fraternal experience and the Delta Upsilon Oath to pursue Justice. The colors these men bare are not just red, white and blue, but also DU’s “Old Gold and Sapphire Blue.” Each of these brothers served as a leader in his chapter and decided to apply his leadership experiences to a military career. Here are but a few of their stories. Captain Gregory “Bret” Wedding, Central Florida ‘99 Captain Gregory “Bret” Wedding, Central Florida ’99 is on active duty with the United States Air Force and assigned to the 80th Aerial Port Squadron. Brother Wedding previously served as a Captain in the US Army with the 2nd and 25th Infantry Divisions. He spent most of the last eight years deployed overseas in Iraq, Afghanistan, Korea and the United Arab Emirates. Wedding was active with the Central Florida Chapter serving as vice-president of recruitment. Brother Wedding’s fraternal experience left a lasting impression on him and greatly impacted the leader he has become today. In reflecting on the individuals who had an impact on his life, Brother Wedding identified Brother Stephen D. Sams, Central Florida ‘95. Brother Sams, a captain in the US Army, reached out to Brother Wedding while he was still in

Officer Candidate School writing him a personal note that reinforced their fraternal bonds. Eventually Brothers Sams and Wedding served together overseas. Stephen D. Sams, Central Florida ‘95 Brother Sams, Cpt. (P), 66th Military Intelligence Company, 3d Armored Cavalry Regiment was a founding father of the DU’s Central Florida Chapter. He served as vice-president recruitment, vice-president membership education and vice president of associate member education. Brother Sams’ fraternal experience had a lasting impact on his leadership development. “The most important aspect of the DU experience comes from the openness of the Fraternity. The ‘Diffusion of Liberal Culture’ means that we are open to all personalities, creeds, colors, beliefs, cultural differences, and all the other elements that make an individual unique. Dealing with different quirks, learning the patience required to hear what is being said, and then deciding and acting on behalf of the greater whole allowed me to be more understanding of my soldiers, peers, and leaders. More than anything this openness made me more willing to accept the differences between Americans and Afghans and/or Iraqis. I was able to take the time to listen to their views rather than just writing them off ” Sams said.
Copyright 2008 Delta Upsilon International Fraternity Inc.
During Brother Sams’ deployments in Iraq, Afghanistan and Korea he has served with a number of other brothers from both Central Florida and other chapters, including Cpt. Chris Coleman, Central Florida ‘01, SPC Daniel “DJ” Jarrett, Central Florida ‘99 and Brian Hamil, San Jose ‘04. Brother Sams’ appreciation for his fraternal bonds has continued to grow over the years and no matter where he traveled, his brothers were always there to support him. When returning state side on leave, Brother Sams returns to the Orlando area, not because he has family in the area but because that is where his brothers reside. When he has returned home his brothers (and their wives) open their homes and embrace him as part of the family. Last fall when returning home for R&R, Brother Sams met his brothers for homecoming. He was overcome by the hospitality of the undergraduate brothers towards him and the other alumni. That weekend Brother Sams had an honor he termed “one of the best fraternity experiences that any brother could have” when he was asked to give the charge at Initiation. Brother Sams’ words that weekend came from the heart and he instilled in the undergraduates a lesson from his experiences that “it is the friendships developed during your college years that will
continue to benefit you throughout your life -- it is this that I am most thankful for from the fraternity experience.” For Brother Sams the fraternal impact is reciprocal with Brother Wedding, as their bonds of friendship have been strengthened by the time they have spent together overseas and on leave. While stationed in Korea, Sams and Wedding took part in the Initiation of Major Joseph T. Ramsey. Ramsey, then a Captain, was Brother Wedding’s commanding officer. His leadership and character impressed Sams and Wedding and they believed that he would be an outstanding DU. They approached Ramsey with their invitation for him to become a member of Delta Upsilon. Ramsey did not hesitate and agreed to become a member of the Fraternity. Upon receiving approval from Central Florida Chapter and the International Fraternity Brother Ramsey, Central Florida ‘02 was initiated in his office at Camp Nimble in Tong du Chon Korea. Jeff Salem, Cal Poly ‘01 Brother Jeff Salem, Cal Poly ‘00 ended his college career early for personal reasons, but his experience with DU left a lasting impression. “DU had a strong and enduring impact on my life and I missed the brotherhood I had experienced while at Cal Poly.” Brother Salem’s attempt to find a similar fraternal experience after leaving school led him to enlisting in the Army. In 2002, Brother Salem served with the 82nd Airborne in Iraq during Operation Enduring Freedom. Following his active duty tour, Brother Salem then attended West Point where he received his degree in systems engineering. Brother Salem, now a Lieutenant attending flight school, is assigned to the 1-145th Aviation Regiment at Fort Rucker, Ala. Reminiscing on his fraternal experiences, Salem admires the enduring friendship he made and the fact that he knew that he could call any brother at any time and they would stop what they were doing to help him.

undergraduate, is a Lieutenant Commander in the US Navy. As a Naval Flight Officer Mickley flew the F-14D from 19982002 and has flown the FA-18F since 2002. His deployments have included Operation (Afghanistan) 2001, Operation Iraqi Freedom 2005 and Operation Enduring Freedom again in 2008. Mickley has held a number of military jobs, including most recently Strike Fighter Phase Head, Syllabus Officer, Training Officer, Safety Officer and Maintenance Officer. He attended the Navy Fighter Weapons School (TOPGUN) in 2002 and was named VFA-122 Instructor Weapons System Officer of the Year in 2003. Mickley has accumulated more than 2,500 hours in Navy strike fighter aircraft and has more than 500 carrier-arrested landings on seven different aircraft carriers. He is assigned to VFA-22 based at Naval Air Station Lemoore, Calif. and attached to Carrier Air Wing Fourteen on the USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76).

Brother Mickley said he is privileged to be associated with an incredible fraternity like Delta Upsilon and his brothers are life long friends – most notably his DU big brother Dean Sackett, Miami ‘92. Sackett is an international finance specialist who has lived in Asia since his graduation. While living in Shanghai, China, Brother Sackett visited Brother Mickley while he was on a port visit to Hong Kong with the USS Nimitz (CVN 68) in 2005. In 2008, they met during another port visit to Singapore while Brother Mickley was on deployment with the USS Ronald Reagan. “We had several days to catch up at the American Club in Singapore and had a several good laughs,” Mickley said. Brother Mickley even showed Brother Sackett his 1991 fraternity big brother paddle that he has carried with him around the world. “The four guiding principles of Friendship, Culture, Character and Justice have always been the cornerstone of

my leadership,” Mickley said. “My current job of maintenance officer includes responsibility for 15 officers and 185 enlisted. There are many leadership tenets that apply, but it is summed up in that ‘everybody watches the boss.’ You must respect culture, have the utmost character, mentor subordinates and always think justice; ‘firm, fair and consistent’ as important benchmarks.” All of these, Brother Mickley notes, he learned as a member of Delta Upsilon. Brian Hamil, San Jose ‘04 Brian Hamil, San Jose ‘04 served as chapter treasurer and vice president of public relations as an undergraduate. Hamil then served with the Third Armor Calvary while deployed in Iraq from November of 2007 through January 2009. Prior to joining DU, Brother Hamil had never thought about serving in the military. However, his fraternal experience ignited his passion for helping others. Of his undergraduate experience Brother Hamil said, “We spent a significant amount of time volunteering in the local community. The simple act of helping people in need is what the fraternity and the military are all about”. One aspect of Brother Hamil’s life that DU significantly helped was his time management. “DU requires substantial amounts of time to the brothers’ schedules; the meetings, pre-meetings, retreats, and social activities can really hinder your time. Then add in the grueling demands of school and the part-time job and you end up with busy schedule.” While deployed, Brother Hamil’s time constraints are easier because there is only one time allocation, the mission; but, the mission is quite often very long and demanding. “I averaged 14 hours a day, every day I was deployed. This can quickly lead to burnout and exhaustion, but you cannot resign to this fact as people’s

lives depend on your vigilance.” Brother Hamil compares this to the later years in college when a brother may become tired of school and want to quit but forges on because he wants to earn his degree. Brother Hamil has only run into one DU during his time in the military and it turns out that was Brother Sams who was Hamil’s company commander in Iraq. Brother Hamil states that Brother Sams’ leadership and wherewithal helped smooth a very turbulent unit experience. Brother Sams’ had soldiers spread over an area the size of New Jersey, and most of his time was spent traversing very dangerous roads in order to ensure they were safe and had the tools required to complete their mission. “He is an inspiration to all the soldiers he leads and should be an inspiration to his fellow DU brothers,” Hamil said. Steve Staub, Cal Poly ‘00 Brother Steve Staub, Cal Poly ‘00 is a medical doctor in the US Navy. He served as a medical corps doctor with the US Marine Corps in Fallujah. Dr. Staub is quick to defer any notion that he deserves recognition for his service and instead said that the Brother he looks to as a leader and hero is Brother Matt McCarthy, Cal Poly ‘99. Matt McCarthy, Cal Poly ‘99
Copyright 2008 Delta Upsilon International Fraternity Inc.
Brother McCarthy is a member of the California Army National Guard. He is a Captain serving with the 1st Battalion, 184th Infantry Regiment (Air Assault). When Brother McCarthy joined the National Guard he hoped to
recapture the fraternal camaraderie he enjoyed during college. While deployed to Iraq from January 2005 and January 2006 McCarthy was a rifle platoon leader in charge of 40 soldiers. He patrolled in the Karrada neighborhood in central Baghdad from January 2005 to March 2005 and provided security in the International (Green) Zone for the first meeting of the transitional National Assembly on March 16, 2005 (for about two weeks before and for two weeks after the meeting). McCarthy also provided security in southern Baghdad during the constitutional referendum on October 15, 2005 and the first election for the Council of Representatives on December 15, 2005. He patrolled in the Dora neighborhood and surroundings in southern Baghdad from April of 2005 through January 2006. He is serving in Kosovo through November 2009 as an operations staff officer. McCarthy attributes his understanding of group dynamics to his Delta Upsilon experience. He has had many opportunities to display his leadership skills while leading his men during a firefight, coming under fire following IED attacks and in the evacuation of one of his squad leaders who had been shot in the throat by a sniper. While in Iraq Brother McCarthy’s platoon earned nine Purple Hearts, with one soldier receiving two. McCarthy was awarded a Bronze Star and earned a Purple Heart while serving in Iraq.

These are but a few of our brothers who are currently serving the United States, there are surely more. While I cannot personally speak of all of them, I know that in writing this article I have come across a handful of them including: Gabriel Faath, Central Florida ‘00, US Army Lou Wysocki, Central Florida ‘99, US Air Force Victor Wong, Central Florida ‘99, US Army Nestor Makris, Central Florida ‘00, US Army Bill MacGillivary, Central Florida ‘00, US Navy Ian Phillips, Central Florida ‘00, US Army Ryan Little, Pennsylvania ‘01, US Army Marshal Smith, San Jose ‘05, US Navy Of the brothers I know personally Major Doug MacKenzie, Cal Poly ‘84, US Marines Communications Officer for School Of Infantry at Camp Pendleton; Major Brian Woolworth, Cal Poly ‘92 US Army; and, Sam Clarke, Cal Poly ’08, US Army each exemplifies the principles which we hold dear.

our brothers in arms most likely has a story which is worthy of sharing with us there is not ample space to cover them all in this publication. We hope that they will share their stories and reflections in the facebook group – Delta Upsilon – Military Service. Instilling the spirit that these brothers represent are some words from Brother Charles Evans Hughes written in June 1916: “This flag means more than association and reward. It is a symbol of our national unity, our national endeavor our national aspiration. It tells you of the struggle for independence, of union preserved, of liberty and union one and inseparable, of the sacrifices of brave men and women to whom the ideals and honor of this nation have been dearer than life.

It means America first; it means an undivided allegiance. It means America united, strong and efficient, equal to her tasks. It means that you cannot be saved by the valor and devotion of your ancestors; that to each generation comes its patriotic duty; and that upon your willingness to sacrifice and endure as those before you have sacrificed and endured rests the national hope. It speaks of equal rights; of the inspiration of free institutions exemplified and vindicated; of liberty under law intelligently conceived and impartially administered. There is not a thread in it but scorns self-indulgence, weakness,
Gregory Ball, Arlington ’91 in Mosul, Iraq. Ball served on active duty in the United States Air Force from 1995 to 2006 as a weather forecaster and officer. He was stationed at Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage, Alaska, Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks, Alaska, and Andrews AFB in Washington, DC. While at Andrews AFB, he was selected as the lead Presidential weather forecaster and was solely responsible for providing departure, in-flight, and arrival weather for the safe transport of the President of the United States from April-August, 2001. He was also deployed to Kuwait in 20002001 and later served as the Staff Weather Officer for the 172nd Stryker Brigade combat team in Mosul, Iraq from February to June, 2006.

and rapacity. It is eloquent of our community interests, outweighing all divergences of opinion, and of our common density. Given as a prize to those of the highest standing, it happily enforces the lesson that intelligence and zeal must go together that discipline must accompany emotions, and that we must ultimately rely upon enlightened opinion.” Charles Evans Hughes, Colgate and Brown 1881 Chief Justice of the United States I speak on behalf of all of our brethren in the hope that each of our brothers currently serving in harms way finds his way home safely. You serve us proudly and reflect positively the core values and principles of Delta Upsilon. I, for one, hope that when you return and look upon your brothers who have not served that we, too, have embodied our fraternal obligations and have given you a reason to look proudly upon us as we all strive to live our principles and embrace Justice as our sure foundation. **Note: While I am sure there are Canadian brothers serving at this time and possibly brothers serving in other nations military branches, I was not privy to their stories or the passion they may share for their native lands. To each of them our appreciation also goes out for their service to their countries and we hope they too will share their stories on the DU Facebook page.

Webster Chapter Installed
Delta Upsilon’s new Webster Chapter was the first Greek organization on campus marking the first time in more than 100 years that DU was established at a university where no other Greek organization had gone before.
Copyright 2008 Delta Upsilon International Fraternity Inc.
Brother Dave Maguire, Southern Illinois ‘73 led the fourman initiation team which included Brother John Adams, Wichita ‘04, Brother Kyle Lorts, Western Illinois ‘07, and Gordon Bothun, Carthage ‘08. Executive Director Justin Kirk gave the charge, emphasizing how chapter members shared qualities with Delta Upsilon’s Founders. “You have accomplished a first for the Webster University campus. Much like our Founders, you are unique. You sought something the campus community didn’t offer. You worked tirelessly and persevered. The culmination of which bring us here today, to celebrate a tremendous achievement – the initiation of more than 30 brothers and the installation of our 152nd chapter of Delta Upsilon – the first Greek organization on the Webster campus.” Kirk then challenged the men to think about their dreams and visions for the future and the kind of legacy they want to leave.
A total of 35 men were initiated into the new chapter during the ceremony. The swearing-in included three members who were studying in Switzerland and took part remotely in Delta Upsilon’s first-ever digital initiation ceremony. These men were connected with video and audio through laptop computers at the installation ceremony.

Founded in 1915, Webster University is an independent, non-denominational university offering degrees in liberal arts, fine and performing arts, business, management and education. Webster University Worldwide has over 100 campuses around the world and a total enrollment of approximately 22,000 students. The college’s main campus is home to about 5,000 students, and is located just outside St. Louis in Webster Groves, Missouri.

Virginia Tech Colony Established Twenty-one undergraduates were inducted in a colonization ceremony at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University on Monday, March 2, 2009. The ceremony was held on campus in Blacksburg at Hillcrest Hall, also known as the Honors College. Delta Upsilon Leadership Consultant Gordon Bothun, Carthage ‘08 led the ceremony with assistance from Chapter Advisor Francis Bush, Florida ‘85, who distributed Colony pins as each undergraduate signed the fraternal honor code.

Delta Upsilon received a warm welcome from the Virginia Tech Community. Brandon Lamma, from the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, attended the ceremony along with the executive council of the Interfraternity Council, several sorority members, and many other students. Delta Upsilon initially chartered a chapter at Virginia Tech in 1983, though the charter was suspended in 2002. Founded in 1872 as a land-grant college named Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College, Virginia Tech is now a comprehensive, innovative research university with the largest full-time student population in Virginia. Colony Advisor Francis Bush played a critical role in Delta Upsilon recolonizing at Virginia Tech. He is a professor of accounting and statistics at Virginia Military Institute and he got involved with the colony despite having to drive nearly an hour and a half each way to reach the Tech campus.
“I’m probably the closest DU alumnus in the area, and I was willing to come down to work with them,” Bush told the Collegiate Times. “I came down for the first meeting, and next thing you know, we’re working together on this.” Bush felt a sense of duty to reach out to his fraternity. “ This is how an alumnus gives back to his fraternity,” Bush said. “You can give time or you can give treasure, or you can give both.” Bush took part in DU’s Advisors Academy in Indianapolis in January and continues to guide the colony members.
How Can You Give Back? Many opportunities exist for alumni to positively impact the lives of undergraduates and remain involved with Delta Upsilon. To find out more, contact Director of Volunteer Development, Eric Chamberlain at 317-875-8900 or chamberlain@ deltau.org.

a women’s basketball game and the prize was a $1,000 donation to a charity of their choice. The Chapter chose the Children’s Miracle Network as their charity. In March of 2009, the Chapter was on a committee to sign an Anti-Hazing Act for the University of Florida Interfraternity Council. Illinois Chapter Twelve men from the Illinois Chapter drove to Biloxi, Mississippi for a week during winter break to assist Habitat for Humanity in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Although Katrina hit the Gulf Coast nearly four years ago on August 26, 2005, many buildings have yet to be restored or replaced. Commercial buildings were the first to be repaired, but for many families who lost their homes they have yet to obtain another house of their own. Construction was not yet underway on the house the chapter members were assigned to work on. During five days of work they framed and built all the interior and exterior walls, sheeted the entire outside of the house, and put up half of the trusses needed to support the roof. This habitat trip will be an annual service opportunity for the Chapter, and the brothers look forward another trip next winter break.

Indiana Chapter

Dozens of members of the Indiana Chapter took to the stage of the Indiana University auditorium during the IU Student Foundation’s 2009 IU Sing competition, singing and dancing their way into the hearts of the thousands in attendance. Delta Upsilon paired with Sigma Delta Tau and Pi Kappa Alpha and took seventh place in a 21-team competition. Each team created an original musical featuring original choreography, storylines, and song lyrics. Highlights of the DU act included dousing the theater’s lights for a breathtaking glow-stick act and solo performances from Brothers Will Lockhart, Indiana ‘10, and Zach Marcus, Indiana ‘12. Lockhart also performed brilliantly as a part of the renowned campus a cappella group Straight No Chaser during intermission. Brother Matt Kerbis, Indiana ‘11 was awarded with an honorary scholarship for his contributions as an outstanding song leader. Kerbis shared the responsibility of organizing and brainstorming the entire performance with Brother Andy Gordon, Indiana ‘11. Both Kerbis and Gordon spent countless hours taking the performers through rehearsals, writing scripts, developing choreography, and attending song leader meetings prior to the show. Iona Chapter The brothers of the Iona Chapter hosted a professional development program called “Netiquette” on February 23, 2009. The program helps students understand proper e-mail etiquette and professionalism. Discussion included how to ensure social networking sites such as Facebook reflect positively on an individual. The brothers co-sponsored this program with residential life and local sorority Gamma Lambda Rho.

He recently returned to civilian life and moved to St. Joseph, Missouri, where he serves as legal counsel for the Missouri Department of Social Services. North Dakota State Chapter The North Dakota State Chapter conducted its 34th annual teeter-a-thon from April 19-24. The event took place at the Delta Upsilon chapter house. “Teeter-a-thon is a great event for our fraternity,” said Drew Espeseth, North Dakota State ‘10, chapter president. “Not only does it give us a chance to build brotherhood, but we’re able to donate our time and money to a very worthy cause.” The Chapter donates the proceeds to Big Brothers Big Sisters, one of the largest mentoring programs in the United States. Last year’s successful event raised more than $3,000 for the local Big Brothers Big Sisters program at the Village Family Service Center. The first teeter-a-thon, held in the spring of 1975, lasted 100 consecutive hours. During the past 33 years, the men of Delta Upsilon have teetered day and night through all kinds of weather to make teeter-a-thon the longest running Greek philanthropy at North Dakota State University. This year, the women of Kappa Alpha Theta joined DU for the teeter-a-thon and donated their share of funds raised to the Court Appointed Special Advocate Association, an organization providing volunteers to watch over and advocate for abused and neglected children.
Missouri Chapter Parker Dunn, Missouri ’11 became the 2,000th initiated member of the Missouri Chapter last fall. The Chapter has operated continuously on the Missouri campus since 1924 and welcomed 25 new members into the Fraternity on November 9, 2008. Jonathan Blassie, Missouri ’10 from Belleville, Illinois, was the undergraduate speaker. Blassie is vice president of recruitment and serves on the undergraduate executive board. Ted Houdek, Missouri ‘92 was the alumni speaker. Upon graduation, Houdek completed his law degree at the University of Missouri Kansas City in 1997. He then began a 10-year career as a first lieutenant, United States Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps. Ted was deployed

Brothers said the event is a way to donate and to sympathize with cancer patients, many of whom lose their hair. Last year, the Chapter raised nearly $2,000 for the American Cancer Society. Rochester Chapter The Rochester Chapter dedicated a portion of their break to the Aaron Goldberg program. They spearheaded a headlining group that involved many academic departments, student activity groups, and other fraternal groups including multi-cultural Greek organizations. The Jazz Audience Development Program was held on February 26 with the Aaron Goldberg Trio. Events included participation in a Harlem Renaissance course, a master class, a pre-concert discussion on jazz music and an evening concert at the Interfaith Chapel Sanctuary. The Chapter put their entire fall 2008 programming budget of $2,000 toward this event as they strategically chose programs last semester that didn’t cost DU any money. The program achieves several goals expressed through the Chapter’s Expectations for Excellence Plan, most notably collaboration with other Greek organizations and cultural organizations on campus.

75 Our Brotherly Obligation We all recited our Oath, which states “I solemnly promise that I will be loyal to the Delta Upsilon Fraternity…” The Oath is our bond. The Oath is our word. The Oath is the irrevocable promise that we made to the Fraternity.
So, let’s look at this as a logic problem: Fact:
All DUs are men of sound character.
D Æ M
Fact:
Men of sound character fulfill their promises.
M Æ P
Therefore:
All DU’s fulfill their promises.
D Æ P
The Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation (DUEF) is essentially the fundraising arm of the Fraternity. The Foundation raises money on an annual basis to provide support for the Fraternity’s leadership and educational programs and to provide merit-based scholarships for its undergraduate members. Our brotherly obligation is to show support of some kind to the Fraternity. That obligation does not end once we leave college. That obligation remains for the rest of our lives. The obligation does not say that we must give generously. Some do, for which the DUEF is thankful. Others don’t have the ability to give as generously, but they give what they are able, for which we are equally thankful. The DUEF never asks anyone to give to DU before giving to their church, for example. And, the DUEF never asks anyone to give more money to DU than they might give to another charity they wholeheartedly support.
13
The DUEF simply asks that you give what you are able; to fulfill your loyalty promise by simply being a donor. If everyone who received this issue of the Delta Upsilon Quarterly gave a gift to the DUEF, we would more than double the number of donors to the DUEF on an annual basis. Some have already stood and said “count me in!” Thank you! Now, let us all do our part to stay true to our promise. If you have not yet sent in your support this year please do so by June 30 to be counted in the annual roll of donors this fall. An envelope is enclosed for your convenience.

California During his final semester, Benito Delgado-Olson, California ‘07 joined with several DU brothers to found the East Bay Community Scholarship Fund (EBCSF) as a student organization. Delgado-Olson, a former chapter president worked with Peter Hsiue, California ‘10, who also completed a term as chapter president, Steve Frances, California ‘08, Daniel Galeon, California ‘08, and Sean Carr, California ‘07. The current president of the California Chapter, Matthew Bauer, California ‘11 is also involved with the student organization. They incorporated EBCSF into a public benefit corporation in March of 2008. The organization still functions as a hybrid student organization (largely made up of DUs) and a standard nonprofit which is governed by a professional board of directors composed of locally elected officials, the Dean of Students, high-level appointed officials, faith leaders, and a few young DU alumni. They have the endorsement of more than 50 elected officials including two members of Congress, The University of California Chancellor, media representatives and a number of campus organizations.
The mission of EBCSF is to create, assist, and sustain a series of scholarships and/or programs for low-income East Bay residents enrolling in or pursuing admission to an accredited four-year institution. Additionally, the East Bay Community Scholarship Fund supports existing programs and scholarships that are proven effective. The student organization’s mission is to assist the EBCSF in achieving its goals. The newest endeavor of the EBCSF is the School Supply Initiative, which provides every low-income Oakland, Berkeley, and Richmond student with a comprehensive (retail of about $70) package of school supplies within four years. The initiative follows a four-step process that includes solicitation of funds and in-kind donations, storage of supplies, assembly, and distribution. For assembly, several hundred UC Berkeley students take the pallets of supplies and assemble them into individual packages. EBCSF partners with the Boys and Girls Club of Oakland, South Berkeley YMCA, churches, and parks to facilitate distribution. The March 14 EBCSF 2009 Recognition Banquet speakers included UC Berkeley Chancellor Robert J.

Dr. John T. Weisel Receives Delta Upsilon’s Distinguished Alumni award Brother Dr. John T. Weisel, Oregon ‘48 is one of Delta Upsilon’s highly regarded treasures. Several words describe him. Giving, caring, generous, passionate, understanding, level-headed, calm, steady, cheerful, and the list goes on. One word, however, probably sums him up best of all– he is genuine. If other organizations ever caught wind of just how genuine he was, Delta Upsilon would have to fight for his attention. But how fortunate that DU has been a primary volunteer focus for him for many years. On February 21, 2009, the Fraternity finally got a chance to say “thank you” to “Doc” Weisel.
18
Brother Weisel joined Delta Upsilon at the University of Oregon where he graduated in 1948. Since then, he has established himself as a leader, both in business and in DU. This Idaho native was initiated into Delta Upsilon on April 14, 1946. In nearly 63 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. After graduating in 1948, he went on to further schooling, en route to becoming an ophthalmologist. Dr. Weisel practiced as ophthalmologist in Medford, Oregon, and founded the Medical Eye Center, serving southern Oregon and Northern California. The practice was primarily involved in cataract-lens implant surgery where he joined forces with Dr. John A. Retzlaff. Together they were part of a renowned ophthalmology group that developed the Sanders-RetzlaffKraff (SRK) formulas. SRK formulas are used to accurately calculate intraocular lens power for cataract surgery. He
lectured on cataract surgery in numerous venues in the United States, Southeast Asia, South Africa, and Australia before his retirement. John served Delta Upsilon on the Fraternity’s Board of Directors for two terms from 1991 to 1994. In 1999, he joined the Board of Trustees of the DU Foundation where he has served ably ever since. Not only has the Foundation grown during his leadership, but the positive attitude that he continuously displays with regard to the Foundation or Fraternity as a whole would inspire even the most dedicated pessimist. This award is much deserved by a tireless and faithful brother, and it is proudly awarded by a humbled and grateful brotherhood. Congratulations Doc. Job well done.

Dr. Lansing was presented the award for his long-standing volunteer service to the Fraternity and the Louisville Chapter. The presentation was made by Executive Director Justin Kirk and DUEF Executive Director David Schumacher. In his remarks, Brother Lansing spoke eloquently of his affiliation with Delta Upsilon and the influence the Fraternity has had on his career and personal life. He even credits Delta Upsilon with introducing him to Donna, his wife of more than 50 years.

Brother Lansing joined the Western Ontario Chapter on November 25, 1950 and two years later was one of the very first undergraduates to receive a scholarship from the newly established Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation. After graduating from Western Ontario with a Doctor of Medicine degree in 1953, he went on to complete his residency at Victoria Hospital, as well as earn a doctorate in physiology. He then headed to the United States to pursue his interest in cardiovascular surgery, working at the University of Illinois in Chicago before going to the renowned Houston Medical Center and then on to Children’s Hospital in Boston, where he taught and conducted research in pediatric surgery. In 1961, he returned to Western Ontario to become an assistant professor of surgery and physiology. Eventually, Dr. Lansing moved to Louisville, Kentucky where, over the next several decades his pioneering work

in heart transplants and myocardial revascularization heart surgery helped to transform the field and earned him international recognition. The Donna and Allan Lansing School of Nursing & Health Sciences at Bellarmine University in Kentucky is named to honor Lansing and his wife. In 2008, the University of Western Ontario conferred an honorary doctorate of science on Brother Lansing, in recognition of his pioneering work in cardiology. As part of his continued support for the Louisville Chapter, Brother Lansing has underwritten an endowed scholarship so that the Louisville Chapter can send an extra delegate at the DU Leadership Institute each summer. He also hosts an annual pool party to help the chapter with summer recruitment. The brothers of the Louisville chapter thank Dr. Lansing for his support and congratulate him on receiving the Delta Upsilon Founders Medal.

Delta Upsilon International Fraternity Treasurer’s Annual Report 2007-2008 As your new Fraternity treasurer, I am pleased and honored to submit my first report to you on the state of the Fraternity’s finances. I succeed (but cannot replace) the dedicated and untiring David Herzer, Wisconsin ‘54, who served as treasurer for the past four years with skill, grace and patience.
20
The Fraternity’s fiscal year, concluded on June 30, 2008, marked a turning point in many ways beyond David’s retirement. Our Executive Director moved into his first full year at the helm with a long list of strengthening initiatives, plans for chapter and membership growth, and strategies to make Delta Upsilon the most formidable in its nearly 175 years. The economy, of course, abruptly ended its period of unparalleled advance, and soon thereafter took the financial markets downward with it. And more positively, Delta Upsilon saw heightened interest expressed in new colonies, both by undergraduates and by college administrators; enjoyed outstanding alumni and undergrad attendance at our convention and conferences; and achieved continued improvement in the level and scope of support provided by our headquarters staff to chapters and their alumni boards across North America. These are the important measures by which we can gauge our strength best. Much less significantly, but essential to our practical ability to adapt to these changes, Delta Upsilon’s financial condition bears some discussion. The Fraternity ended the year with net assets of $2,358,670, down $257,169 from the prior year, primarily due to the devaluation of our investments in the early days of the market downturn.
Revenue, excluding investment performance, was $1,485,180, or almost 97 percent of budget. Operating expenses totaled almost $1,696,563, only $8,853 over budget. The result was a $210,383 excess of expenses over revenue, up from $127,622 in the prior year. Our investment performance produced a loss of $46,786 for 2007-2008, after earning over $326,331 a year earlier. Fortunately, over 70 percent of this investment loss can be reversed with future gains to be had in the portfolio with market recoveries. Your Investment Committee is working diligently to ensure that our investments, all under professional outside managers’ guidance, do just that without undue risk. The Permanent Trust Fund, established by the Board to support the operations of Delta Upsilon, represents the Fraternity’s endowed assets. During the year, $108,649 was transferred from this fund to the General Fund for that purpose. This transfer amount, combined with net investment income of ($17,242), reduced the fund balance to $1,426,231 at June 30, 2008. The Loss Prevention Fund, which serves to manage the Fraternity’s liability insurance and loss expenses, saw a $102,098 excess of expenses over revenues for the year, as well as investment losses of ($131,692), which together reduced its net assets to $765,785 at year end. While reporting net losses and reduced net fund balances may suggest undesirable performance, as I mentioned earlier they are only a few of the many measures that indicate the strength and direction of your Fraternity. I along with the rest of the Board am eager to share with you the plentiful signs of vigorous growth, disciplined stewardship of the DU legacy and of your resources and trust that maintain it, and the abundant ways the Fraternity is headed in a truly bright and prosperous direction.

Leadership Profile Malcolm P. Branch, Wisconsin ‘69 Delta Upsilon Fraternity alumni Director
The skills developed in DU are validated in the real world. The four founding principles apply in 22
everything you will Mal Branch, Wisconsin ‘69 is president and CEO of Virginia Ship Repair Association (a trade association representing 193 companies in Virginia and the Mid Atlantic Region engaged in or supporting major surface ship repair, primarily U. S. Navy vessels)
Tell us about your career? How did you get into this career? After a 28-year career in the U.S. Navy as a Naval aviator, which included 10 extended deployments, command of an aircraft carrier based aviation squadron, command of a Fleet Flagship, and culminated with command of one of the Navy’s 10 nuclear powered aircraft carriers, my wife and I decided to set our roots in Virginia. My romance with flying began as the son of a World War II pilot. It began in NROTC at the University of Wisconsin where I studied engineering and earned my private pilot’s license. Upon graduation and commissioning in the Navy, I began my military journey in graduate school, earning a master’s in aeronautical engineering. Little did I know then that I would be so captured by flying high-performance tactical aircraft off carriers that I would end up making a career of the Navy. I followed my heart with my wife through an adventure of ever increasing responsibility while traveling all over the world. What followed was the opportunity to lead a trade association whose mission was representing companies primarily engaged in the repair of U.S. Navy surface ships – a perfect fit for the next career.
do in the future. Describe your global leadership skills. Beginning with Naval ROTC and various challenging and rewarding positions in my DU chapter (including president), my entire career has been engaged in developing and refining my leadership style with ever increasing positions of responsibility. I am a strong believer in empowering people to enable them to grow. I also believe in continuous improvement that is data driven – the statement “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” has never had a place in my organizations. As a Certified Quality Manager, I believe that the best suggestions for improvement come from the people closest to the work process. I am a practitioner of “Management By Walking Around (MBWA)” which is a powerful leadership technique and keeps a leader in touch with those they are privileged to lead. It is important to “walk the walk” when you are in a position of authority – a very powerful trait. Also, integrity and moral courage are tenants which have followed me from my military career and served well.
What do you see is your greatest challenge as a leader? Personal integrity. My experience in my career has taught

me not to assume all with whom you deal have personal integrity. As a leader, it is important to maintain integrity and do the right thing.
Tell us about a key moment where you observed successful leadership?
Copyright 2008 Delta Upsilon International Fraternity Inc.
Having spent my first career in the military, I have had countless moments. One of the most amazing is the daily “ballet” that is orchestrated to safely launch and recover aircraft on the four-acre flight deck. Eight hundred sailors direct the movement of up to 30 jet and propeller aircraft in a specific sequence to four steam-powered catapults for launch. Every 30-45 seconds, an aircraft goes down the catapult, accelerating from a dead stop to 150 miles per hour. Immediately following, the deck is instantly transformed into a landing field, were every 45-50 seconds, a plane lands. Its tailhook “grabs” one of the four arresting wires, decelerating it from 140 miles per hour to zero in about 800 feet. Under sailor direction, the plane must quickly leave the landing area so the next plane can land. This is all done precisely with several layers of leadership. The flight deck is so loud that everything must be done with hand signals. The carrier’s flight deck is considered by many to be the most dangerous place in the world. Yet the leadership and skill of aviation professionals allow them to accomplish thousands of takeoffs and landings without serious injury or damage to aircraft – truly remarkable.
Many opportunities to develop leadership skills were found in my DU experience. The challenges of leading a chapter of men of character in DU was a perfect “training ground” for future careers.
What parallels do you find between being a leader in your career and being a fraternal leader? Many opportunities to develop leadership skills were found in my DU experience. The challenges of leading a chapter of men of character in DU was a perfect “training ground” for future careers.
What is your perspective on effective leadership within a fraternity chapter? DU is grounded in four principles which provide the best guidance for being an effective leader in the fraternity chapter. It is important to understand, also, that often decisions leaders make will not make everyone happy. True leaders do the right thing every time in spite of popularity.
In what other areas do you volunteer your time? Community organizations? Professional associations? I am active in many civic volunteer organizations, some that are business related. I have had the privilege for the past several years to serve as a member of the Delta Upsilon International Fraternity Board of Directors. It has been a stimulating and rewarding experience as we have begun a transformation of our fraternity in Building Better Men. I serve locally on the boards of the Norfolk Tourism Research Foundation, the Red Cross, Greater Norfolk Corporation, the Azalea Festival (Norfolk’s salute to NATO), the Virginia Maritime Association, and Rotary. Professionally, I am a member of American Society for Quality, American Society of Association Executives, American Society of Naval Engineers, Association of Naval Aviation, and others.

What advice would you offer to a DU brother who is about to graduate and apply his leadership skills in the real world? The skills developed in DU are validated in the real world. The Four Founding Principles apply in everything you will do in the future. Leverage your DU connections, both at the chapter level and the national level. There is a bond and affinity between DU brothers. While the current economic situation will provide a challenge, graduating DUs have the advantage of our brotherhood. Make that advantage work for you.
