DU Quarterly: Volume 118, No. 2 by Delta Upsilon

FROM THE PRESIDENT Fiscally speaking, the Fraternity continues to benefit from sound financial practices. Thou gh mode st, as reported in the June 30, 1999, audited financial statements, the Fraternity 's total assets, including the Permanent Trust Fund , loss prevention reser ves, and designated educational reserves, have grown to $3.6 million. And, for eight years in a row, the Fraternity's treasurer has reported that each fiscal year has ended in the black. Programmatically, Delta Upsilon continues to provid e its chapters and alumni volunteers with nearly limitless resources. DU 's conferenc es - the Leadership Insti tute, the Presidents Academy, the Alumni Volunteer Conference, the Recruitment Symposium , and the UGAB coordinated Regional Leadership Seminars - are excellent programs that offer valuable training and experiences. Since 1994, nearly 5,000 DU undergraduates and alumni have experienced fellowship and learning at DU conferences. Finally, I'm very proud of our efforts to develop a comprehensive member education prog ram. The elements of FourWord, DU 's individualbased education program are highli ghted on page 5 of this issue of the Quarterly. As my term on the Board appro aches closure , I end my tenure with the confidence that Delt a Upsilon is on a clear path toward succe ss. Our brothers will make it so. Thank you to the many DU brothers who help this organization thrive.

J. McQuaid

n the six years since I was elected to the Delta Upsilon Board of Directo rs, the Fraternity has experienced tremendou s positive change. Much of the progress is credited to our outstanding undergradu ate brothers, dedic ated alumni volunteers, support from the Educational Foundation, my fellow Board members, and a highly professional staff at IHQ. As I conclude my service on the DU Board this summer, I'd like to take this opportunity to highlight some of the progress and succe sses of our brothers and our Fraternity. For 165 year s now, DU has worked to build better men. Our principles and philo sophy of non- secrec y have attracted over 110,000 men to our brotherhood. In just the last 10 years, since 1990, over 10,000 men , more than in any other 10-year period in the Fraternity, have recited the DU Oath during their initiation rites. While many other men 's fraternities have experienced significant declines in their recruitment and initiation figures , DU has experienced growth in three of the last five years. DU 's Strategic Plan 2005 states that it is our goal to realize growth in our membership and chapter base in each of the next several academic year s. With a concerted effort by our undergradu ate broth ers, support from local alumni volunteers, and assistance from the IRQ staff, our goal s are sure to be realized. You can read about our strategic plan on page 6 of this issue .

Fraternally,

TO THE EDITOR

' i

Dear Editor:

I attended the re-instatement ceremony of the University of Florida Chapter in Gainesville. I was really happy that my own chapter was now alive and well! I am a1963 alumnus of the Florida DU Chapter.There were several of us"Bull Gators" at the ceremony. We all celebrated the hard work of the chapter to make this a reality. I appreciated the great coverage that the Quarterly gave to this historic event. The photos and story are priceless. I hope the Florida Chapter places this Quarterly in their history scrapbook. I also am glad to discover DU's web. It is most impressive.

I have previously written to the Quarterly about my concerns about binge drinking, and the negative effect on young men who we expect to be the future leaders of our cities, states, and our federal government. Our nation has a need for intelligent, educated young men with minds full of integrity and honesty that they can and will use to benefit their families, communities, and country. We need your help, past, present and future Fraternity members!!!

The Rev. Robert D.Askren, Florida '63

It gladdened my heart to read in the most recent Quarterly that DU, as well as other fraternities, is beginning to take a stand for alcohol-free houses. As a lucky individual whose system does not tolerate alcohol very well, I drink very little. An occasional glass of wine at a special occasion, and that not too often. The drinking of brothers used to bother me in my undergraduate days, and I sometimes disliked fraternity parties due to the excessive drinking. My estimation from returns to the campus since, and discussions with friends in the collegiate community, lead me sadly to believe that alcohol is now more of a problem than it was when I was in college. Thank you, Delta Upsilon, for beginning to take a stand on the matter. Our youth will be better off for the stand and without the alcohol. Keep up the good work.

Dear Editor: I have just read the Quarterly and it reminded me of how involved I've been with DU these past 55 years. There are the Dawes Brothers. Beman G.Dawes gave me a medal for being the outstanding DU grad in 1950......a medal in memory of the only Marietta DU lost in WWI by his class of 1918. There is an article about the Dutch Brother who went to Kent State. I was with three car-loads of Marietta DUs that helped install the chapter at Kent State in the late 40s. I helped install the Ohio Chapter and see they are now coming back.The Chief Marshal, Alan Goldsberry, I had supported for Judge and with this article find he is a Brother! His son lives in Marietta......I'1i have to tell him, his dad is my brother! I checked the chapter list and see the Louisville Chapter is still with us......four of us went down there in the late-40s to the installation......what a celebration! Wish today's actives were as active as we were in the "old days," but then we were from the "greatest generation" and WWII with an average age of about 24......makes a difference.

William F. Baker, Wisconsin '41

misinformation in the Spring 2000 issue of the Quarterly that indicated the $25,000 matching gift to the Kansas State Chapter was by Bill Gordon '60. Brother H. Clayton Peterson '67 was the donor of this gift and we express our apologies to Brothers Peterson and Gordon for this misprint. Both brothers are loyal, dedicated, and supportive alumni of the K-State Chapter, and their example and leadership are an inspiration to undergraduates and alumni alike.

,I :

Delta Upsilon on the move w it h The FourWord Program elta Upsilon has constructed an educational program that focuses on our Four Founding Principles and the life lessons associated with those principles. The FourWord Program is Delta Upsilon's individual member development project designed to provide members with a strong co-curricular experience throughout their undergraduate years.

FOUR FRIENDSHIP • CHARACTER • CULTURE • JUSTICE

It is time to reconnect with the values and founding principles of our Fraternity. Many times our members may not fully understand the true purpose of Delta Upsilon. We must bring the four principles "to life" for members. They must truly understand the behaviors and activities which support the Promotion of Friendship, Development of Character, Diffusion of Liberal Culture, and Advancement of Justice rather than purely memorizing the words. Introducing The FourWord Program .

Formerly the Star Program, The FourWord Program models the implicit value of individual diversity in Delta Upsilon , through a flexible and self-directed, individual schedule that shows members how they can exhibit the founding principles in their daily lives.

The program is based on the member taking responsibility for his personal development. The FourWord Program will complement current chapter activities and will help to prevent chapter over-programming. Members will exhibit their participation in concrete activities that represent the Fraternity's values to prospective members, parents, alumni, campus administrators/faculty, and other groups on campus. The program will show that Delta Upsilon chapters expect nothing less of our members than for them to go above and beyond for themselves, their Fraternity, and their community. During the fall semester,several chapters will pilot The FourWord Program, learning how to use the program elements and evaluating the experience. Following this preview period, other Delta Upsilon chapters will be encouraged to implement the program. Upon its release in 2001 , each participating chapter will receive all materials necessary to implement the program. The Vice President of

Membership Education (VPME) will receive a facilitator's guide on how to run the program and training from a Fraternity staff member or volunteer. Each participating member will receive a Personal Achievement Portfolio, which will include The FourWord Program handbook and a personal planner. The FourWord Program will have far-reaching effects on the Fraternity's leadership and educational offerings. The Leadership Institute, Presidents Academy, DU Emerging Leaders Program, and Regional Leadership Seminars will be principles-centered and will be focused on individual learning and skill development. Services offered through the use of web-based technology will help individual members document their experiences as well as locate Fraternity resources. IHQ staff training and on-site consultations will complement the new program. Staff will commit to modeling personal initiative and individual development. Chapter consultations will include coaching VPMEs, introducing/promoting the individual development program, sharing the "big -picture" of the program's relevance to members'lives, and talking about living the Fraternity experience daily.

To spearhead The FourWord Program, the Fraternity has hired Jeffrey W. Sears, Arlington/Northern Arizona '98 as the new Director of Leadership Education. Sears joined the International Headquarters staff in March and has been working on a number of leadership projects and educational programs. Sears was initiated as part of the Arlington Chapter at the 1999 Presidents Academy in Indianapolis. Sears graduated from Northern Arizona University in 1998 with a degree in Public Relations. Following graduation, Sears served as a Member Services Consultant for the J. Sears North- American Interfraternity Conference and worked with campus interfraternity councils to address Greek community issues. Following his term with the NIC, Sears became a Branch Manager for Boys and Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Phoenix. In addition to developing The FourWord Program, Sears will work with the Fraternity's conferences and seminars, and will create new educational resources addressing academic success and leadership development. For more information on The FourWord Program, please contact Jeff Sears, Director of Leadership Education, at Sears@OeltaU.org or 317.875.8900 x 205. DELTA U ON THE WEB @ www.DeltaU.org

FRATERNITY:NEWS

n 1834, the founders of Delta Upsilon formed a nonsecret society committed to the principles of Friendship, Character, Cult ure, and Justice. The Fratern ity has prospered due to these found ing principl es and the continuous reassessment of the best methods to advance those principles. For the last several months, the DU Board of Directors has been in the final stages of the development of a comprehensive strategic plan for the Fraterni ty. In developing Strategic Plan 2005, the Fraternity has addressed the past and current operatin g environments, organiz ational challenges, and future opportunities includin g: advanc ing the core values of the Fratern ity, enhancing the value of memb ership , maximizing of volunteer leadership, expanding Fraternity memb ership, improving public perceptions regarding fraternities, addre ssing alcohol and substance abuse, addressing the changing role of the college/university and chapter housing, and utilizing emerging technologies. Undergraduate and alumni members have been involved throughou t the process to develop the plan. Chairman of the DU Board Scott A. W. John son, Washington '80, presented the initial elements of the plan during the 1999 Assembly of Trustees meeting in Denver, CO. Members of the Undergraduate Advisory Board have been actively engaged in the plan 's development as well. Additionally, members of the IRQ staff have offered input and direction to the process.

Tufts Jumbos, John also participated in the interfraterni ty council, and paid his way through school by joining the Navy ROTC program. John attributes much of his success at Tufts to his DU chapter, as they provided, "a very supportive environment, which allowed independent people to pursue whatever eclectic course of study or activity they wanted. It provided the base of support and a commonality that gave you a foundation to go out and express yourself and do well in life."

. , ..1ng. s history has it, the tradition and the size of certain established organizations have proven to be a burden to the young upstart with a fresh idea. From politics to the industrial revolution, new ways of doing things often get squelched in the interest of money and politics. In much the way our own Fraternity began so many years ago, John J. Bello, Tufts '68, is trying to shake up the long-established soft drink business. SoBe Beverages, and John's alter ego, "The Lizard King," are finding drinkers everywhere, flocking to this trendy product.

Of course, "The Lizard King" didn't assume his throne at birth, but has had a lifetime of learning and experience, both in his membership in Delta Upsilon, and in his professional career. At his alma mater, Tufts University in Medford, MA, Bello was introduced to Delta Upsilon for a number of reasons. He recalls that, "The DU house was pretty high profile on campus relative to the other 10 fraternities at the time - a blend of jocks, intellects and ... a very social group of boys that was very supportive."

One of Brother Bello's first nicknames came soon after his college experience. Commissioned in 1968, he joined the River Patrol Group 31 in Vietnam, and was stationed on Mobile Base 2. He soon became known as the "Merchant of the Mekong Delta." This nickname was primarily a result of his job as a supply officer. He started a ship's store and made stereos and camera

equipment available to the troop s. Once out of the war, and back in the Stat es, he decid ed not to make a career out of the Navy.

As the leadership of the NFL changed, with the arrival of fello w DU Neal Austri an, Swarthmore '6 1, and Paul Tagliabue, John felt as though he had done all he could to help the NFL promote itself.

John enrolled at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth and received his MBA . Not finding a chapter there (Dartmouth was inactive in 1966 , and clo sed in 1971) he learned that the teamwork he experienced in his undergraduate years as a member of Delta Upsilon, as well as his experience in the military, helped him immensely.

His next stop on the road to becoming the Lizard King was as the marketing director for Arizona Iced Tea . The product was ju st hitting the market, and John was able to really see how a product could compete against established, well-respected products. By taking Arizona up against Pepsi and Coke, John learned that traditional marketing practices wouldn' t work. Creati vity and persistence were needed to really make the product move .

thought that he could combine his two loves , football and business, and applied for a job with the Washington Redskins. Deterred by their perceived lack of organization, he found a job with General Foods and worked on the marketing for Sanka and Ma xwell House Coffees.

From his experience at Arizona Iced Tea, John reali zed that he could take a beverage company, what he knew about a good franchi se from the NFL, and what he learned from Arizona Iced Tea , and start from scratch, but with himself as the owner.

After a brief stint at General Foods, he was on to Pepsi, where Thinking he could do it, but do it better, he began the proce ss he worked on , among other things, the very successful Pepsi of building a new beverage company. He was able to avoid Challenge. With this success, he was recruited to work for many of the pitfalls and mistakes from years of experience, and NFL properties. During his tenure with the NFL , the company take his company, "fro m ground zero . . .to where this year it grew from $6 million in revenue to $225 million when he left will be a $250 million business." The result of his 15 years later. Ideas such as the Pro Line program (authentic entrepreneurial work was the South Beach Beverage Company. jerseys and other "pro" wear) and the NFL Experience (the football themed park outside the . Super Bowl) were all marketing idea s created Bello, a gritty athlete at Plainville High School in Con necticu t, playe d during his tenure at NFL Properties.

Iinebacker and center during his junior and senior seasons. As a seni or; he was fourth on th e team with over 45 tackles and scored a touchdown on a 55-yard interception return . He went on to play football as a freshman at Tufts.

John also recall s what DU has done to help him through his life. He recall s many friendships that he was able to draw on for support. He recall s Dan L. Speed , Westem Michigan '67, whom he met in the Navy, and whom he spent a great deal of time with throughout his Navy career, and Stephen J. Solomon, Tufts '65, his big brother in the chapter. Steve was the president of the National Hockey League and offered John a great deal of advice and help as he began his new career in the soft drink s industry.

The Lizard King and Friend.

Denni son Young, Tufts '65, also helped to put him in touch with some very key contacts, and Lee T. Nordan, Tufts '68, was a key financial backer in the process. Lee was able to put trust in John, his brother in Delta Upsilon, and the result has been an extraordinary friendship.

SoBe was and is a carefully thought-out marketing strategy. SoBe has become more than just a soft drink ; it has become something that has health and status value. The strategy revolved around the idea that consumers should drink something that is better for them , tastes great , and has a great appeal from a graphical standpoint. SoBe , a shortening of South Beach , the Miami , Florida beach district , used the images of hot, hip , and trendy people to attract consumers. The lizard simply ties everything together, with attitude and consumer appeal. So as John sits on his throne to his lizard kingdom, he reflects on some of the secrets of his success. Many of these thoughts apply not only to the business world, but also the personal fraternal lives of people reading this magazine. "Recognize your mistakes and do not be so married to a concept that you are pushed over the edge of a cliff. You need to adjust as you go. You need staying power, you need to keep competitive in a highly competitive atmosphere, particularly when competition finds you are succe ssful and taking some of the market share away.

"There are a lot of folks who I knew within the Fraternity, both at Tufts and other chapters, who opened door s for me. My daughter went to Colgate ... every time I went to Colgate, I went over to the DU house and found a home. It's almost a home away from home no matter where you are. Just like any institution, the reason that DU has the reputation they have is they just accept people who they know will be successful, and then provide the foundation or platform for them to go forward. I think it provides a microcosm of life ... providing the support system that enable s you to take your life and your career to the next level."

John Bello believes in his product and invests much energy and enthusiasm into its marketing.

"Do n' t put people overseeing or stewarding the idea who were not there at the start and did not understand it, and who try to walk away from what made it work , because the people who have the passion and the understanding are the ones who make it profitable." John knows that you have to stick close to what you believe in, or else someone will make you try to believe in something entirely different.

11 F:::LnEl.!'j [; . _0;)0, Fraternity representatives traveled to the __ ' University of Texas-Pan American in Edinburg, TX, to start a new colony. In one year's time the colony accomplished the requirements for installation, and were welcomed into the Fraternity on March 4, 2000, as the Pan American Chapter of Delta Upsilon. The installation ceremony began on Friday, March 3, with Rite I of the Initiation ritual. Twenty brothers signed the roll book, thus making them the founding fathers of the chapter. After Rite I concluded, colony members and their Delta U brothers from the Houston Chapter gathered to celebrate the accomplishments of the colony, and to discuss the future aspirations of the Pan American Chapter. The idea of developing a colony in Edinburg, was first considered by A. J. Alford, Arkansas '95, during the fall of 1998. "I wanted to have a core group of brothers like I had at my own chapter," (

Following tile initiation ceremonies, tile new DU brothers at UT-Pan Am donned caps to signify their new brotherhood.

said Alford during the installation reception. Alford began his DU experience at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, and later transferred to the University of Texas-Pan American. "Not only did I want to start a fellowship of brotherhood, but I wanted to share my fraternal experience, and the principles and values for which DU stands." With the assistance of the IHQ staff, a group of 15 members were assembled and started meeting regularly in March 1999. Since their inception, the group has maintained a 3.2 GPA for the past three semesters, which was the highest of all Greek and student organizations. The colony has also been very active in campus activities, and has provided many hours of service to the local Boys and Girls Club. The installation ceremony concluded on March 4 with Rite II of the Initiation ritual. Serving in the role of Master was Alvan "Ed" Porter, Oklahoma '65 , alumni director on the Fraternity 's Board of Directors. Serving in the roles of Examiner, Chief Marshal, and Chaplain were Timothy M~ Kutka, Houston '00, Matthew D. Wilson, Guelph '97, and Craig S. Sowell, Houston '94, respectively. Facilitating the installation rituals from IHQ was Kris R. Robl, Kansas State '98. The Charge for the Initiation ceremony was delivered by Joshua A. Martin, Central Florida '97. It was fitting that Brother Martin serve in this role as he was instrumental in developing this group. Martin spoke proudly about the accomplishments of the colony, and that everyone should be very proud of them. Brother Martin urged the Fraternity's newest brothers to remember the Oath of Initiation forever.

DELTA U ON THE WEB @ www.DeltaU.org

The Oath and the ceremony itself should remain close to their hearts and serve as constant reminders. This will also help the chapter members uphold the purpose of the Fraternity and the values that are held so dearly. Following Rite II, DU 's newest brothers, alumni, guests, and university officials gathered for the traditional flagraising ceremony on campus. The weekend concluded with a reception to honor the newly initiated members and to recognize the accomplishments of the new chapter.

Delta Upsilon's Newest Colony Southern Illinois University Edwardsville n April 8, 2000, the Fraternity welcomed its fourth colony of the academic year at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SlUE). Thirteen candidates went through the formal colonization ceremony on the SlUE campus, and will be formally known as the Edwardsville Colony. The Edwardsville campus is the sister campus of Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. Delta Upsilon chose to expand at SlUE because the campus continues to grow in size and has made plans to increase its Greek community.

He encouraged colony members to make the most of their fraternity experience by putting their best foot forward and establishing a well-known group at SlUE. The colony must now meet the requirements set forth by the Fraternity in order to obtain chapter status. Many of the requirements involve development of their prog rams and areas of chapter operations. The colony is well on its way to meeting these requirements and could possibly be installed during the fall 2000 semester.

EDUCATIONAL, FOUNDATION

Undergraduate Educational Programming a Focus for the Educational Foundation ince its inception in 1948, over 10,000 Delta Upsilon brothers have attended and benefited from the Leadership Institute. Each year the Institute attracts over 300 undergraduate chapter leaders and committed alumni volunteers, some of which serve as house corporation officers, alumni chapter officers, and chapter advisors. In addition, the DU Leadership Institute maintains its tradition of educating Delta U brothers in their legislative responsibil ities to their chapters . Since 1847, the annual Undergraduate Convention has recognized one representative from each chapter in good standing to discuss and debate matters affecting the Fraternity as a whole. The Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation is committed to supporting the Leadership Institute with its outstanding and unique educational initiatives. Funds raised from DU alumni and friends through the Annual Campaign provide grants for the Leadership Institute, as well as other educational programs, annually. Following are comments from undergraduate chapter leaders who attended and participated in the Leadership Institute in 1999.

The Leadership Institute allowed me to gain a greater understanding of our Fraternity as a whole. It's nice to know that Delta Upsilon is mo re than just one chapter. It's a brotherhood consist ing of disting uished men from all over the globe and all walks of life, both alumni and undergraduates. Ryan N. Hatton, Purdue '07

Discovering My Roots Joshua A. Martin, Central Florida '97 had been hiking with this group for almost three days now. Our feet were worn and blistered, ourbodies ached andourmuscles were sore. We were alldirty and tired and we smelled bad. We started this hike at Lake Kineret, the Sea ofGalilee. We had walked clear across Israel and now we were almost at ourgoal. The hike was incredible. We saw allsorts ofterrain, walked through ancient villages, learned amazing stories from the past, climbed mountains, jumped off cliffs, sang by campfires, told jokes, and cried together. Now we had just passed through two kilometers ofbanana trees; a stretch known asThe Banana Fields ofInsanity. Once through, we took a break for another incredible story ofheroism and jewish pride. After wiping away my tears, I looked tothe west and saw sparkles onthe horizon. justa few more minutes. I could smell the salt in the airand could feel the cool breeze. The sunwas ready to set, sowe continued. The last minutes ofthe hike itself were spent insilence. As we approached the water, we gathered on the beach to sing a wordless melody known asa niggun. One of the most amazing things I have ever seen was that particular sunset. After we allenjoyed a solemn moment together, we jumped into the Mediterranean Sea in celebration. We finished the three day hike, one ofthe highlights ofmy trip toIsrael ona program called Livnot U'Lehibanot. Growing up, I did not have many jewish friends. My family was the only jewish family in my neighborhood. I was not used tobeing around jewish people orcustoms. The only things I learned were from my experiences in religious school asa child. I never liked it there, either I felt like anoutcast because everyone knew each other, butnot me. It was because ofthatfeeling I did not return after my Bar Mitzvah, the celebration ofmaturity injudaism. In high school, I had a few jewish friends, butthe feeling was the same. It started then, that when a friend had a question about judaism orjewish people, they would ask me. I did not know anything either, soI never had answers. When I joined the Delta Upsilon Colony at the University ofCentral Florida, the situation remained the same. Then, I became a Leadership Consultant for DU. When I moved toIndianapolis, Iwas, again, the only jew. This time, there were more questions because at the age group I was with, religion began to be a curious subject matter. Since I was the only jew, I became the authority ofjudaism, butI still did not know anything. Then, I started feeling differently about not knowing. Now, itwas beginning to bother me. I started questioning things myself. I read a few reference books onjudaism and still wanted toknow more. I was now into my second year ofbeing a Leadership Consultant and I had to think about what I was going to do after my tenure was over The idea ofgoing to Israel was growing in myhead.

I discovered a program called Livnot U'Lehibanot, which isHebrew for "to build, and tobe built." It had everything I was looking for and it seemed the program was invented for me. All I had to dowas find a way to get there. At this point inmy life, Delta Upsilon played the largest role in mypersonal development. Inmy chapter, the Fraternity allowed me to learn about people, groups, and friendship. From being a Leadership Consultant in the Fraternity, I learned about life, love, and myself. I already felt greatlyin debt. Then I learned that aneducational grant I received for my work with Delta Upsilon could be used tohelp pay for Livnot. All I had todonow was get ready tohave mylife changed again. Livnot isa group living program thatincludes classroom learning, community service, and a lot of hiking. There are two campuses in Israel, one in jerusalem, and one in the northern city ofTzfat. We spent five weeks at each campus. Livnot isa rigorously scheduled program full ofactivities and

with myown eyes whysomanypeople throughout history have fought for this tiny, almost insignificant piece ofland. The hiking portion ofthe program iswhat changed my life. It took me eight weeks before I felt fullyconnected tothe land. It was after we hiked the border with Syria in the Golan Heights. I learned about the recent history ofIsrael, the wars that took place within the past 50 years. Then I looked at history and something within me woke up, like I was being plugged into a force I had never felt before. Those people were myancestors, my forefathers. I amjewish because ofthem. They kept the culture alive. I have a duty todo the same. Everything came together soclearly. I felt like I knew who I was and where I came from. I felt connected to the 4000 years ofjewish history and tothe people. I also felt connected to the other participants in my group. I was living ajewish life, enjoying the customs, ideas, and rituals. I was happier than I have ever been in my life. I appreciated everything I had

We learned a lot ofjewish philosophy, discussed topics relative tojudaism, and debated sections from the Torah and other jewish texts. We were getting ajewish education. We also contributed tothe people in Israel. We painted homes, built gardens, pruned olive trees, and dug tunnels in the Western Wall. We were connecting to the people. We were learning about current affairs and the history of Israel. We learned about the stories from the Torah and how we were connected to them. But none ofit would have meant much without the hikes. Livnot has a philosophyof"learning through your feet. " On the hikes, ortiyulim, we were able tosee Israel with ourown eyes. We saw the places that we learned about in the classroom. We hiked everywhere, from the mysterious and meaningful Negev desert, to the beautiful and controversial Golan Heights. We climbed mountains, swam underneath waterfalls, trudged through desert terrain, and everything in between. We saw beautiful forests, amazing sunsets, ancient cities, and allsorts ofwildlife. I discovered

more than ever My family, my friends, my Fraternity, my life meant somuch more tome after that. Now that I amback in the United States, the feeling isstill with me. Israel has touched mysoul. Through my experience with DU, I have learned many amazing stories ofhow the Fraternity has changed lives. I have heard many brothers say that theyare indebted toDelta Upsilon for what they have received. Before I left for Israel, I alreadyfelt indebted. Now that I amback and I realize what I have learned, I cannot fathom the amount ofdebt lowe tothis organization. My experience in Israel isbecause ofmy experience in DU, and all I can sayisthat I am forever grateful.

Alcohol-Free Housing What Is All the Noise About?! f you haven't heard already, there is movement within the Greek system to remove alcohol from mens chapter houses. The mens fraternities are the only group currently affected, as the women have been living in alcohol-free environments for some time now. There are 11 mens groups nationally that have policies concerning alcohol-free housing. In fact, Delta Upsilon counts itself among the increasing number of organizations that strongly endorse and support the idea. The National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) has passed a resolution that restricts its member organizations from participating in events at fraternity houses where alcohol is present, and in some cases only when the property is entirely alcohol-free. So where are we now? Initially, the movement raised an eyebrow. Many asked, "How can you take alcohol away from fraternities? You can't have one without the other!" Resistance was, and still is, high. Undergraduates and alumni were upset. The public was very skeptical, and the skepticism remains. The jury is still out, but there are more and more groups endorsing the idea that alcohol-free housing is a step in the right direction. So what does this movement hope to accomplish? There are actually several desired outcomes. Here are just a few:

A ret urn to fraternal values. The North American Greek system is strongly associated with alcohol abuse, and it has become a self-fulfilling prophecy. By encouraging our chapters to endorse an alcohol-free living environment, we are taking the focus off alcohol and placing it bacl< on the high ideals for which fraternity is supposed to stand. Obeying the law. Most chapter members are under 2 J and have no legal right to have alcohol in the first place. By adhering to the law, most chapter houses should be predominantly alcohol-free. Preservation of chapter property. Social events with alcohol represent the single largest cause of property damage and abuse to the physical plant. By eliminating alcohol from the property, the maintenance and repair of the chapter facility will be much less of a problem. This can also result in a cleaner, more inviting property, where members want to live, rather than where they are required to live. Improved academics. Chapter houses where alcohol is absent tend to be quieter, more academic environments. Studying can take place at the chapter house and members can have a healthy place to live. This is evident with our female counterparts' alcohol-free environments. They consistently have higher GPAs on almost every campus. Recruitment quality. The men coming to college today have a preconceived notion of what fraternity is via the public media. The men who are eager to join will probably be interested in that poor ideal. Alcohol-free housing

DELTA U ON THE WEB @ www.DeltaU.org

will allow the students who are leaders to find a reason to join a chapter. Why recruit the men who come to school and already want to be a part of Animal House? Alcohol-free housing isn't intended to be prohibition, nor is it intended to restrict the social atmosphere at the chapter property. It is simply a tool to refocus the fraternal movement on the things that have made it so successful for the past 200 years - principles, integrity, and friendship. It also doesn't ignore the fact that men need to learn during their college years how to drink alcohol responsibly. Having alcohol in your room 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. isn't ind icative of responsible drinking. Learning how alcohol affects you when you are of legal age, and managing your drinking are still valuable, viable lessons to be learned in college. The lesson we wish not to teach: alcoholism, dealing with an alcohol poisoning death, and lost careers because of fraternity affiliation. The fact of the matter is, the status quo of irresponsible drinking, poor grades , assault, abuse, vandalism, legal liability and loss, and all of the things associated with alcohol and fraternities needs to change. The predominant feeling today is that alcohol-free housing is a way to start that change. Unless someone comes up with a better idea, it seems that this trend will certainly become a reality.

Farewell to Two Special Brothers It is with great sadness that we record the passing of Chauncey "Chon" Day, Lehigh '30, cartoonist of international note and creator of Brother Sebastian which first appeared in 1954. Brother Day authored five books and his work appeared in The New Yorker, Colliers, Yankee Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, and the Saturday Evening Post. We are grateful for the humor and wit Chon brought into our lives, and extend our condolences to his family and friends.

In 1940 he enlisted in the Royal Canadian -Engineers and after completing his training was appointed Lieutenant Colonel in command of the Royal Canadian Engineers Fourth Canadian Armored Division.
