The House of Delegat es of th e Na tional Interfraternity Co n fe r enc e, meeting in ea rly December , vot ed to ~sk all 60 N IC m ember fraterniti es to study alte rn~tl\:es to pledge status, and to report their findin gs within a yea r.
This vote co.mes afte r .a recommendation , by a bod y of top fr~termt~ exec u tives, to fight hazing by d oing away entirel y with th e con cept of pledging . Members of the Frate rn ity Executives Association (FEA) had I:ecomm~nded thi s unusual change in re~en~ fra ter m ty practice as a means of combatting hazmg m fraternity chapters. Hazing not only deters good men from fraternity membership and has led to serious injuries and deaths; it has also resulted in lawsuits against fraternities and the cha pte rs and members. The FEA recommendation is based on th e be lief that pledges may perceive a threat from members that a pledge won't be initi ated if he do esn 't tak e part in activiti es which amo u n t to ha zin g. The FEA , in its recommendation, not ed that few other co llege membership organizations have an y kind of associat e membership. . If new chapter members h ave fu ll membershi p nghts , the FEA reasons, any threat by wo uld-be hazers to their continued membersh ip would be reduced . The FEA furth er agrees that hazing persists d espite man y ed ucatio na l effor ts to era d icate it, and that a maj or str uc tu ral cha nge in membership is n eed ed . Such a proposal can only be enacted by individual fr at ernities through their legislati ve processes.

Keynote address at Union 150th outlines three keys to success
Brother William Wallace's keynote dress to 130 dinner guests at the Sesquicentennial Celebration of the Union Chapter on September 10 draws a beautiful fraternal picture of what Delta Upsilon is all about. The banquet, in the Old Chapel on the stately Union campus in Schenectady, marked the full revival of Delta Upsilon at Union. Alumni, parents, faculty and administrators watched as 23 men were initiated to join the 16 men who had steered the Union Chapter back after some conduct problems. After reviewing the establishment of the Union Chapter 150 yearsago, and theforces that shaped it and other fraternities since, Brother Wallace turned his attention to what has kept the Union Chapter going through. thick and thin:
What are these ideals, the ideals that have kept this chapter of Delta Upsilon together for 150 years? You who are brothers remember them from pledge education, but for those of you who are not DU's, the goals of Delta Upsilon Fraternity are these: The The The The
promotion of friendship development of character diffusion of liberal culture advancement of justice
These high ideals, where they have been practiced, have provided the fabric which has held undergraduate chapters together through decade after decade of changes in our society. They have set a high moral tone for the chapters, established a pattern of giving and service, encouraged participation in chapter and college activities and promoted lifelong friendships. Inasmuch as fraternity chapters are but a microcosm of the world outside, it is not surprising that those who leave the chapters not only build successfully on their fraternity experiences to become productive citizens, but also retain a strong interest in their college and fraternity. The Union Chapter can be proud of its influence on its graduates through the years. It has produced alumni who have been good citizens and leaders in their chosen fields of endeavor. But more than this, of particular importance to Union College and Delta Upsilon Fraternity they have given and continue to give generously of their time and resources in support of their college and fraternity.

The successive generations ers who called the Lamont House home for more than fifty years owe a great debt of gratitude to Brother Oppenheimer who spearheaded the raising of funds and the construction of that magnificent house in 1906. Many brothers contributed the funds that paid for the building but it was Brother Oppenheimer who gave leadership. In more recent years Brother Ralph Fisher, '31 who is responsible for this gathering tonight, saw the chapter's desperate need for a permanent home, a house with "Delta Upsilon" on the door for which the brothers could take responsibility. He personally undertook the challenge of finding a suitable house. Since then he has worked tirelessly in the face of many frustrations and obstacles to obtain an appropriate house that will once again give the men of the Union Chapter of Delta Upsilon a permanent home. He has not attained his goal yet, but it seems near and his enthusiasm has already encouraged more than 70 alumni to contribute to the cause. We all owe him a great debt of gratitude for the work that he has done and continues to do. As an undergraduate I remember the support that the chapter received from several alumni who visited us frequently and provided guidance and encouragement. Rex Moon '44 who at that time worked in the Admissions Office, Walt Haberbush and Ralph Semerad, whose wife is here tonight, stand out in my memory, but there were many other brothers who provided support, encouragement and direction during the chaotic period at the end of World War II. I remember the period well, for I joined Delta Upsilon in 1945 just before the end of the war. The chapter was small, about 12 men including transferees from other colleges who were members of the Navy V-12 unit that made up most of the student body. We had no house, since the college had taken over all of the fraternity houses. But I was attracted to the men who made up the fraternity and what they stood for. Thisgroup had held the fraternity together during the war years. Fraternity life consisted of weekly meetings where we learned more about the Fraternity and gave support to one another. This was all to change drastically in 1946 as the college was flooded with
William Wallace III, Union '47 returning students whose education had been interrupted and new students under the GI Bill. The DU House was once again opened and filled to overflowing with veterans of the war, some married, plus those of us who had been members of the chapter the year before and new freshmen just out of high school. You can't imagine a more diverse group in a fraternity house, one that could tax the concept of brotherhood. It did just the opposite. It was a wonderfullearning experience for all of us that demonstrated how people with common ideals can live together happily and learn from one another. I certainly learned a lot from this experience. During this transition the guidance and support we received from our alumni was invaluable. Union College also benefited from this period. Two of the chapter leaders from that era continue to serve the college as Trustees, Bill Grant '49 and Cliff Benfield '46. When I .left college and started working in New York I volunteered my services to the International Headquarters of Delta Upsilon. I met many Brothers from other chapters and learned that there was a willingness to serve the fraternity that extended beyond the chapter at Union. Later during my ten years as a Director I had the privilege of serving with the devoted Brothers who were to lead the International Fraternity as its Presidents through more than three dec-

Union's 150th (continued) ades of rapid expansion: men like Warren Du Bois, Paul McNamara, Horace Nichol, Doc Jones, Arad Riggs and Charlie Prutzman. All were from different chapters of the Fraternity, but all shared the same dedication and willingness to give of themselves. Incidentally, it is interesting that last week I received from Paul McNamara - who was not only President of the Fraternity, but also a founder of the DU Educational-Foundation __ a letter enclosing a contribution to the. Union Chapter and recalling his pleasant memories of a 1928 convention at Union which he attended as a delegate from the Miami Chapter. As I said, the three decades following World War II were years of rapid expansion for Delta Upsilon. During its first hundred years DU had grown to about 60 chapters with but a few permanent casualties along the way. The Fraternity at that time was dominated by chapters with long histories on the campuses of relatively small private colleges and universities in the East. This changed rapidly as the size of the Fraternity about doubled with new chapters at primarily large state institutions across the country. At the same time, principally in the sixties many of the older chapters became inactive or withdrew from the Fraternity. This was particularly true of chapters at smaller colleges in the northeast, colleges such as Amherst, Bowdoin, Brown, Dartmouth, Rochester, Wesleyan and Williams. Union was fortunate to survive during this period, and from it I think we can learn an important lesson as to what is necessary for a fraternity to succeed. As we all recall, the '60s were a time when students reputed essentially all existing values and institutions. They burned flags and draft cards, held protest rallies and disrupted meetings. The
question was always, "What's in it for me?" These are hardly the attitudes that hold a fraternity together. In addition at the smaller colleges in the East, where fraternity members constituted a very visible majority of the student body, college administrators started to ask what the fraternities were contributing to the educational process. The combination of poor fraternity chapters at that time as the result of undergraduate attitudes and administration questioning of the benefits of fraternities, I believe, led to the demise of many of our older chapters. What then does this mean to you undergraduates and you new initiates, who only tonight have joined Delta Upsilon? You are about to revive the oldest chapter of Delta Upsilon, a chapter with a distinguished 150 year history of accomplishment. You are reviving it after a period of suspension for unacceptable conduct. What must be done to assure that this chapter will be around to celebrate its bicentennial? I believe there are basically three things that will assure this goal. Think of them as the three sides of a "Delta." First, as the base, choose brothers to join your fraternity who share your ideals and are willing to give of themselves and be responsible. Without this base, no fraternity chapter can succeed. But more than this, try to attain within your chapter a mixture of brothers who have a variety of interests and talents. I have always found that I enrich my life and learn by association with a diverse group of people. Second, as an important side of the delta, cultivate your alumni body. They are an invaluable resource, not onlv financially, but also to give continuity ~nd perspective to an undergraduate body in the chapter that is new every four years. They can guide you with information and advice about possible careers as well as help you with the operation of the chapter house. Third, as the most important side of the delta, set high goals for yourselves, and operate your Chapter so that it will

be an asset to you and to the college. This means compliance with the laws of the land and the regulations of the college, particularly in this age, those relating to drug abuse and alcohol consumption. Live not just by the letter of the law, but by the intent of the law. But compliance with the law is not enough. If you are going to be an asset to yourself, your fraternity and your college you need to do more than obey the law. You need to contribute to the college and the community. Look around for ways in which you can do this. There are plenty of ways that have been tried successfully in the past and new opportunities present themselves every day. Finally, remember what you are in college for - to prepare yourself for an abundant and productive life in the future. Make the most of what you are being taught in lectures and assignments, but also learn from your experiences on campus and within the Fraternity. Much of what you learn from these experiences will be directly applicable to your life after Union. In closing 1 would like to recall some words from a President of nearby Hamilton College that I feel are particularly relevant in evaluating the success of a fraternity or a fraternity chapter: "A fraternity has failed if it has not developed in its brothers the ability to work and live with other people. All life, including thinking, depends on other people. Life is always social. Living for us all is living with others. He lives most effectively who learns to share most abundantly in the thoughts, activities, feelings and interests of others. Isolated people are odd. They hide their lamps under bushels or they have no lamps to display. Fraternities must, therefore, be interested both in social competence and social conscience. It profiteth a man little if he is abundantly endowed with intellectual skills but is defective in his ability to deal effectively with his fellows. No man is educated, 1 suggest, regardless of his intellectual abilities unless he is also socialized." Undergraduate Brothers, we are counting on you to once again launch the Union Chapter of Delta Upsilon. Launch it into a high orbit, one that will land it back here for a Bicentennial Celebration in the year 2038. 1 know you can do it. Good luck!

Rejuvenated chapters a Dear Brothers, The past three months have been varied and challenging. Our annual fund raising is off to an excellent start, running over 40% ahead of last year at this time. Our goals have increased and must continue to increase if we are to continue the quality ofeducational programs and support for our undergraduate members. As .of mid-November, 439 Brothers had given $100 or more, an increase of 28%. The average donation was $240 versus $210 last year ~ Our goal for the year had been set at $175,000, but I'd sure celebrate a lot.-harder if we hit $200,000. If you want to help, just say "yes" ~ and send us a check. I attended the 150th Anniversary of the Union Chapter in September. As you may recall from an earlier article, this event marked the official re-emergence of our oldest active chapter after disciplinary problems in 1986. This declineand-recover story has been played out on several of our campuses in recent years. Meeting the Union DU alumni was a refreshing and inspiring experience .â&#x20AC;˘ for all. Brother Bill Wallace, Union '47, gave a superior keynote speech (elsewhere in this issue) examining the chapter history and the challenges of renewal, of dedication to meaningful principles and of high standards of achievement. The group gave a standing ovation to Brother Ralph Fisher, Union '31, for his continuing dedication to the chapter, most recently demonstrated by leading the drive to acquire and finance the new chapter
house. Congratulations, Brothers at Union. September also took me to San Diego where a Fraternity committee met with chapter and alumni representatives to determine how to reorganize and revitalize the chapter. By its own efforts, the San Diego Chapter had followed a mandate from the alumni and the University to correct an out-ofhand social orientation and poor financial condition. The chapter officers required all members and pledges to become current financially and to sign a contract agreeing to strict standards on alcohol, drugs, parties and campus participation. Half did not. The remaining half are all the stronger and striving to further upgrade their chapter under the encouraging but watchful eyes of all of â&#x20AC;˘ us ..

The reorganization has expanded the number of directors to 17 alumni and three undergraduates. The system of Province Governors and International Vice Presidents has been dropped in favor of more clearly defined Board responsibilities. Our general meetings were augmented by four sub-groups spending a full day on eight topic areas and then presenting recommendations to the full Board. And we were a full board Brother
Sam Yates, San Jose '55 William Greenberg, Western Ontario'73, capped off a great three days of arrangements with a feast that took the next several days to digest. H. Karl Huntoon,Illinois '72, Chairman of the Board, is to becongratulated for his leadership in establishing the direction and participation levels for the new term. I have received a number of letters from interested and concerned alumni members about DU standards, fund raising, and the directions we are taking. Please feel welcome to express your views. Fraternally,

Arlington
Over thesummer the Alberta Chapter worked on numerous projects, most notably a new pledge education program and planning forrush. In September the newly completed DU visitors' center in Alberta's first Premier's House, and ourold fraternity house, was officially opened byThe Honorable Terry L. Bullock. This includes a kitchen, board room and a Rogue's Gallery, The annual rush stag was asuccess with over 120 alumni in attendance and Brother Bullock asthekeynote speaker was the most memorable part of the evening. Plans for a strong spring rush are already underway, Any alumni contribution would be greatly appreciated. The next alumni event willbethe annual formal stag and formal dinner held onMarch 10and 11 respectively, sokeep aneye onthe alumni newsletter. We, at this writing, were number one intheintramural football league and expected toplace very well inthe hockey season aswell, which justgotunderway. Relations with the sororities on campus areimproving constantly, mostly due to the wonderful job done by the social committee. If any alumnus would like to know anything else about theupcoming events orhas aprospect forspring rush, please contact Chris Welsh at 403-432-7373. Christopher D. Welsh '90, President J. Todd VanVliet '82, Alumni President
A concentrated summer rush program combined with improvements tothe house highlighted the summer break. Members diligently worked to re-tile the floors inboth restrooms, add furniture and carpet tothe chapter room, repaint thefront porch and make other badly needed repairs. Summer ended on a high note as the Arlington Chapter was awarded The Order of the Iron Duck for improved campus image and the Academic Excellence Award forhighest fraternity GPA oncampus at the DU Convention. As a result of the superior programs offered at the Convention, improvements were also made in thepledge and scholarship programs. The fall semester forthe Arlington Chapter started strong with the pledging often quality men webelieve willlive upto thenew standards of excellence established over the past year. Eight are freshmen and all areeager to tackle the challenges which await them. Much of the focus ofthe fall semester was onour 19th annual Haunted House. Although rainy weather kept many people athome, weraised $8,600 tobenefit the Ft. Worth-Cook Children's Hospital. The summer and fall also saw a rebirth ofalumni interest in the chapter. The house corporation has been developing renovation plans forthehouse. Also, the once-dormant alumni club has plans fora Christmas party, and has already published and mailed a quarterly newsletter. Alumni in the area interested in joining thealumni club and/or receiving the newsletter should contact Jim Singleton, Arlington DU Alumni Club, 711 Del Mar Lane, Arlington, TX76012. The Arlington Chapter has made great strides in the past year and with the continued commitment of both undergraduates and alumni we will become a strong and vibrant chapter once more. Lawrence H. LeBlanc '88, Past President GIlbert L. Jordan '83, Alumnus Advisor
Arkansas Thefall semester started offwith abang. We have an excellent group of pledges that is growing in size every week The chapter is also enthusiastic about hosting the RLS in February. Sofarthe highest motivating factor was when we learned weled allfraternities with the highest GPA for spring 1988 with a 2.69. Arkansas isalso proud ofthe fact that ourchapter was represented at the USSwimming Olympic Trials bytwo pledges and attheCanadian Cycling Trials with one brother. Ournext alumni event willbeinitiation inJanuary. Please keep that in mind and come see what is happening, like the remodeling of the chapter room which Brother John Goodwin is in charge of. Michael O. Johnson '89, Secretary John S. Goodwin '86, Advisor
Bakersfield Our membership has decreased steadily since ourchartering. We hope to rebuild the chapter with a core group ofeight men. Obviously ourmain goal isto strengthen our rush program. We continue to be involved in campus and philanthropic activities. Abbas Jarrahian, '90, President Howard H. Wines 1lI '86, Alumnus Advisor

These reports were written by undergraduates andalumniof98 chapters and colonies. A few did not send reports; in iha: case, a report was compiled from ourfiles at Fraternity Headquarters.
Baylor The brothers of the Baylor Chapter have had a busy fall so far. We pledged five men in fall rush, bringing ourmembership to15.Ourintramural football team is in the playoffs and doing well. Again this year we participated in Fall Fest, a carnival sponsored by theUniversity. Ourbooth had a dart board with balloons on it. We gave free dinners to those who could popthree balloons inarow. We raised the most money of all thebooths. We did a service project forDucks Unlimited again this year. Brian P. Senger '91, Secretary
Bowling Green Being one of the smaller chapters on campus hasn't prevented the brothers of DU from becoming a formidable powerhouse in BG Greek events. The first event of the semester, the Sig EP Mud Tug, saw the defending champion DU tuggers fight their way to a third place finish. The sight of ouryoung Duck team pulling chapters four to five times oursize "into the mud" was quite inspiring. This spirit carried over tothe Tub Race where ourmen finished fifth. AIt h 0 ugh rush was slower than weexpected, wesucceeded in pledging five excellent men. In addition to competing in a number of Greek events onbehalf ofDU, the pledges along with their big brothers attended a home BG Falcon football game, followed by a tailgate cookout. Many of the brothers have seized the opportunity to perform in more than one office with the aid of a pledge. And the chapter house has been recarpeted this fall. Plans for a Founders' Reunion on November 4 were well underway. The brothers looked forward to meeting the original members and listening to their times at theold DU house. Kevin A. Matus '90, President Thomas D. Sauppe '53, Alumni Treas.
Bradley First and foremost, the Bradley Chapter would like to congratulate all of the individuals responsible for putting together the Alliance forBrotherhood '88.

Baylor DUs helped clean a home for retarded adults in Waco We have taken many of the ideas from Convention and begun to initiate them into the chapter. One major area was inmotivating the brothers forrush. The Bradley Chapter was thrilled to pledge 32 men. This class isthe largest on campus. We are also continuing torush. Member education has also been anarea of renewed enthusiasm. The brothers have come upwith many ideas fordifferent events. DU once again dove headfirst into the All-Sports Race. Atthis time we are still waiting for the final softball tournament, tennis singles and doubles finals and football has justbegun. We are expecting great things from our new and improved Fall Alumni Weekend. Our public relations secretary has worked diligently to improve this important event. We are trying to expand our library and would appreciate any donations. Once again if any alumni have any questions, feel free togive usa call. Todd P.Smith '89, President
Brown After winning the award forMost Improved Chapter in the President's Division, the brotherhood returned to Providence to continue the progress.

Bucknell The past semester at the Bucknell Chapter has been abusy time forthe entire brotherhood and alumni corporation. We have made progress oncampus and inoursurrounding community, increased alumni relations and represented the qualities ofDU tothe best of our ability. Our recently elected officers have been extremely busy upholding and contributing to our strong tradition ofexcellence. Last semester, along with the alumni corporation, we originated the first Annual DU Phon-a-ihon. Brotherhood turnout for this three-night event was spectacular. The alumni were happy to hear from the undergraduates. We raised about $10,000. The relations between undergraduates and alumni were strengthened. The money raised there, along with a few other financial moves, helped our chapter gain enough money for major renovations. We renovated our kitchen after last semester's fire. The plumbing was checked and fixed. Much electrical work that needed repair received it.Renovations toourliving room are coming along. Atthe end oflast semester, through the leadership ofGreg Morello, wepurchased anew piano which has brought beauty and music back into our chapter house. On campus we strive totopthe accomplishments of the years preceding. We remained above average GPA with 2.8. The Intramural Pangburn Program in which 40 teams or organizations compete in yearround sporting events, has been dominated by DU. We have won sixofthe last seven years and the last five years in a row. Our relations with administration and faculty have grown with ourThursday night dinner guests at the chapter house. This has been a great
No report received from President David LaPerle. Faced with continuing low membership and lack of proper chapter programming, newly elected officers have begun to take action. Members not living upto requirements have been suspended from the chapter and some cleaning of the chapter house has been done. Inlate fall, Jack Berry, Chapter Projects Coordinatorfor the Fraternity, visited about 20DU alumni from the California Chapter and other chapters. Ateam ofa dozen committed men now constitutes the revived alumni chapter, with tasks assigned to each man. Immediate focus ison recruiting more DU alumni toget involved; use ofavailable University resources tohelp recruit new members into the chapter; gelling proper furnishings forthe chapter house, and bringing back the traditions of this 90-year-old chapter to the men who willguide it into the 1990s. There is immediate need for basic main floor furnishings: chairs and couches, lamps and end tables, dining room tables and chairs, carpets, pictures and other wall hangings, and proper curtains forthe large windows in this beautiful old chapter house. Suitably furnished, the chapter house will be much more attractive topotential members and will provide a better college home for the men. Ifany alumni inthe Bay Area wish to donate such items, please call the chapter house at415-540-9166.

We have also purchased and installed new furniture in allthe common areas. The interior of the house has just been repainted. The effect of these improvements has been quite dramatic. We recently completed our most successful rush inyears. We have 15new pledges, and wewill initiate them in the fall quarter. We will begin a new rush prog ram in the winter and are confident that wewill have another very successful rush. We will initiate these pledges at the IFC Sing in the spring. The chapter hopes to launch a new program of community service this year. We plan toparticipate in the literacy program inourcommunity. We also hope to participate in a city-wide fraternity-sorority food drive sponsored bythe city ofChicago mayor's office ofspecial events.

Clarkson What a summer! LeaVing the chapter house last May was a difficult task for every brother at DU Clarkson, but substantial work over the summer to upgrade the condition of our house made the return this fall apleasure. Paving ofthe driveway, installation ofabasketball hoop, and preparation ofthe house for painting were among the renovative highlights. Our annual alumni weekend was held again this summer onJuly 7.The turnout was better than wehad expected with approximately 200 attending. Our next alumni event will be our annual clambake in April. Details on the date and time are still tentative. Our community service this year islooking up. In the past, our service tothe community ofPotsdam has been anintegral part ofourexistence here atClarkson and this year willprove tobenodifferent. Events such asthe annual Halloween fire truck ride forthe children of Potsdam, onwhich wewere volunteer chaperons, went well and were especially rewarding. We plan to continue our extensive service to the community through the rest ofthe acedemicyearwith more events involving the children of Potsdam. As a final note, we are pleased to announce that we are still the best fraternity oncampus and plan toremain such. Robert E. Cotton '89, Past President Donald R. Dangremond '73, Alumni Pres.
Colgate The start of a new year brings high hopes and
aspirations. Thebrotherhood is excited in continuing the incredible progress the chapter made last year. Over the summer structural changes were made including therenovation of many rooms in the basement. One room,last year unlivable, is now. the house's presidential suite. The remodeling of these and other rooms has made it possible for42brothers tolive comfortably inthe house. Many ofthe younger brothers, inspired by the enthusiasm of last year's seniors came upearly at the end ofthe summer todo their part in cleaning up the house and their own rooms. This included four DUs who are captains of varsity sports - hockey, baseball and the co-captains offootball. Our success isnot only limited toathletics; our treasurer, Nick Gargiulo, won the chemistry award for outstanding freshman student. Another priority for the chapter istokeep improving our relationship with the Colgate administration and community. OnSeptember 18many of the brothers volunteered to help build a playground forone of the area's elementary schools. The event was a huge success. Afaculty dinner was planned forlate October and we are inthe stages oforganizing alecture series for the school and community in early November. Not only are the brothers proud of the success we've achieved over the past 18months, butit'snice tohave others recognize it aswell. This past summer inKansas at the DU Convention, ourpresident Doug Barker accepted the third place award for the most improved DU chapter inour division. The brothers and the alumni should allfeel very proud. To have asuccessful year it isimportant togetoff on the right foot and Colgate DUs have done just that. Brad M. Jenkel '89, Vice President Frank C. Speno '56, Alumnus Advisor
Colorado The emphasis at the Colorado Chapter the past six months has been toward rush and pledge education. We developed our first successful summer rush and have been also pleased with our informal rush picking upwhere summer leftoff. With rush going well the pledge educator, Chris Elizer, completely revised our pledge manuals and the whole pledge program. Our pledges have replaced the time when they would have been hazed and drunk with truly educational experiences. They are learning about haZing, drinking, drugs, women's issues and social graces to make them better than the average student at the University. All of this is leading to a renewed interest in our brotherhood and a more positive fraternity experience for everyone here at the Colorado Chapter of DU. The success of these two programs isrubbing offon allour programs and one of our biggest problems now is implementing the newer and better programs fast enough. Robert S. Moss '89, Past President

We rose from fifth place to second among fraternities with a GPA of 2.98. Through the completion of the scholarship room and a completely revised pledge program which stresses academics, we are striving tobecome number one bythe end of the semester. Our house has undergone $10,000 worth of improvements. We now have a revived furnace, new deck, and two new bedrooms in the basement. The bedrooms were built with the hard work and creative imagination of every brother giving new meaning to building abrotherhood. Ifourfundraiser issuccessful, wehope to finish building the game room inthe attic and paint the entire exterior ofthe house before spring rush. We wish tothank the Kansas State and Iowa State Chapters fortheir hospitality during our road trips.

DePauw A DePauw faculty member's recent comment, 'DUis really ona roll: best summarizes ourchapter's direction. The highlight of the past sixmonths was our winning ofthe Sweepstakes Award. We were honored tobeconsidered in the same class asthe Fraternity's many excellent chapters. The chapter's achievements are a reflection ofourhouse corporation's dedication. The corporation's combination of seasoned veterans and recent graduates has provided the stability and vision necessary to anychapter's success. The greatest challenges facing the chapter inthe coming year are a six-figure house renovation and a changing rush system. We have received preliminary estimates for the complete electrical rewiring of the chapter house and hope tobegin within one year. The DU formal rush this year was an incredible success. At the beginning of rush we needed 19 pledges to fillthe chapter house, and wefinished the week with 21! Because many more freshmen are interested in becoming DUs, weare actively seeking rushees during the first semester. For the spring semester the chapter again finished first among fraternities and sororities in GPA, bringing the running total to five semesters! Tomaintain our academic standing wediscontinued ouroutdated freshman 'study tables' and have implemented an academic big brother program. In addition, the chapter proved that it is multidimensional by finishing inthe top half of the intramural sports standings. This fall our energy is being channeled into a philanthropy project cosponsored byDomino's Pizza. All proceeds will be donated to the local Villages Children's Home and Habitat forHumanity.

We finished seventh out of 33 with our spring grades at 2.79 which was above the all-student average and allGreek men's average.

Our social calendar includes the two major events of the fall. Our pushball tournament is going great again and weare anticipating an even larger turnout this year. Our other major event in the fall is our road trip to Austin tosee the Coogs de-horn Texas. Recently weheld elections with a new executive council being elected, which will undoubtedly continue toguide the chapter in the right direction.

Inthe fall semester wecompleted three successfulphilanthropies. These included two basketball tournaments with proceeds going to Juvenile Diabetes. Also planned is a campus hockey tournament with proceeds going to The Villages. Last semester wefinished in the top third in GPA ranking of all fraternities and also had a house GPA above the all-university men's average. Rush isalways successful forthe Illinois DUs. For the fourth straight semester we had more rushees go through ourhouse during formal rush than any of the other 54 fraternities oncampus. Socially DU atIllinois has never been better. Last spring wewon the Atius Mom's Day Sing with Kappa Delta. We watched the surprisingly good Fighting Illini in ourfootball block with Chi Omega. With the leadership of Delta Upsilon, IFC has developed a campus patrol unit of Greek house members. The entire program was developed, proposed, and implemented by ourchapter inresponse to the increasing number of rapes and assaults on campus. Alumni enjoyed another huge Homecoming celebration in October. Next alumni event: an alumni dinner in Chicago in March, honoring the men celebrating their 10th, 25th, and 50th reunion with the chapter. All alumni are invited. Thos.

Indiana The Indiana Chapter of DU has spent the time since ourlast Quarterly report successfully working to improve some areas we thought needed attention. One area was internal documentation for officers to help inofficer transition. By improving this area we can have smooth officer turnover and increase the effectiveness of the new officers. Membership development has also taken a turn forthe better. Such outings asbowling night and war games ona farm in upstate Indiana have contributed greatly tothe overall brotherhood. The house retreat, once again sponsored by the Wrangler Foundation, was held in Indianapolis and was a tremendous success. With afall pledge class of19wehave once again shown our rush program isingreat shape. Inthe area of scholarship, the addition of a graduate student advisor has helped usregain some lost ground in our GPA ranking. A new test file from the scholarship chairman has also contributed to this. As for alumni, a large turnout at Homecoming, when wehandily beat Minnesota 33-13, was a positive sign that we are continuing to improve ourprogram and draw more brothers back to Bloomington. As of this report, their contributions to the Buck-a-Month Club have been exceptional and alumni recommendations forrushees are at a four-year high. Another area we have improved this year is our relations with the alumni corporation board. We have established agood working relationship with them and there is now talk of renovating the formal area of the house in time for the 75th anniversary of the chapter
Iowa State We are proud toannounce that our 75th anniversary as a chapter was an overwhelming success.

Approximately 80alumni and 50undergraduates attended the Homecoming banquetin Des Moines that Friday night. After a delicious chicken kiev dinner, alumnus Kent Porter gave a short speech onhow the support of all the alumni along with the undergraduates is essential tohelp pay forthe renovation of the chapter house. Everyone that was there responded immediately. After all the checks had been collected we had a total of more than $25,000 pledged forthe next three years I However, weneed allof ouralumni support.

We triumped 3-0on Brother Vince Elpers' field goal, but more importantly we raised over $500 for St. Jude's Children's Hospital and three truckloads of canned goods forthe Kentucky Harvest charity. Arestructuring ofour alumni chapter promises to bring stability and longevity to the chapter. A very special thanks goes outtoCarroll Lurding, Ohio State '59, without whose help much of our recent progress would have been impossible. Jeffrey A. Brian '89, Past President
Maine Inkeeping with ourefforts tobolster the image of DU and the fraternity system, we kicked off the fall semester with a couple of community projects. October 1st the fraternities and sororities of U-Maine participated in the building of a"creative playground" for the youngsters of Bangor, Maine. This event was organized by our public relations chairman, Mike Henry. Mike is also organizing the "adoption" of a second grade class and aFall Fling which isaHalloween party forchildren waiting toreceive Big Brothers and Big Sisters. Our other projects centered on the chapter house. Many house repairs have been neglected and this has led toserious problems. The brothers are hoping for increased participation on the part of our alumni to facilitate the much needed improvements. All in all there is a sense of change as welook forward to the '88路89 year. We'd love to hear from alumni. Dikaia Upotheke. Timothy J. Hooper '89, President Kevin E.

Middlebury No report received from chapter. After the suspension of the chapter by Middlebury College for a sexist display (blood-spattered female mannequin suspended from chapter house balcony), the chapter has taken steps to reduce its number of members. Discussions are underway about having past due fees paid to the Fraternity so that men can be recorded properly as members of DU. A recent field staff visit also revealed efforts toinvolve the chapter involunteer and charity projects in the Middlebury community. A faculty vote asks the sixmen's fraternities on campus to drop national affiliation and become coeducational byMarch orface a faculty recommendation toabolish fraternities.

Great fun was had by all in our race that pits fraternities against each other pushing sorority driven carts over a half-mile course. This summer the Missouri Chapter had a great season forrush. We signed 28new pledges and filled the house again. With school starting, it'sback tothe books and everyone isstudying hard once again. As faras intramurals go, weare looking forward to continuing our tradition of remaining in the top five outof 34fraternities on the Mizzou campus.

Grades were upconsiderably from the past fall semester and weplaced seventh among fraternities. We have seta goal tobein the top three this fall. Finances continue toimprove asaccounts receivable have decreased 25 percent from last spring. Our two houses received considerable work with the help ofour alumni and several brothers who were here this summer. Both houses were painted inside and out. New carpet and furnishings were donated by our alumni with the remainder ofthe work coming from the undergraduate chapter. Many thanks tothe alumni that supported our housing efforts this summer.

North Dakota The North Dakota Chapter has had another active semester. We began the school year with a retreat at the Lake George, Minnesota, cabin ofSteve Kuhlman. With the retirement of Mrs. Uhas (Mom), our housemother, it was necessary to carefully select a new housemother. We held a search forapplicants at the beginning ofAugust and interviewed eight women. We selected Marsha Bennett for the position. We feel that she isagreat addition tothe chapter. She plans to take an active role in the chapter and weare looking forward toworking with her. As soon as school began, rush became apriority. This semester we didn't set a goal for a number of pledges. Instead we decided tofocus totally onquality. Even with this philosophy we had 25pledges. We have been working hard tokeep the house in good shape aswell. We painted the dining room and bought new blinds and chairs. We also had our porches reinforced and purchased new mattresses. Our spring pledges painted one ofour stairwells. InSeptember we had 10men initiated with UND's President, Thomas Clifford, delivering the charge. Also in September, Grand Forks Listen Center presented the chapter with aplaque inthanks forallofthe projects we have helped them with over the past years. Our Homecoming was a huge success with the banquet and dance atthe Elks Club. Allof the alumni, friends, and current active members enjoyed meeting new friends and exchanging stories. Again wehelped the Grand Forks Listen Center assemble hay people for sale as scarecrows. The week of Halloween we were kept busy with the DUJaycees Haunted House. We hope that any alumni feel free to stop bythe chapter house whenever they're inGrand Forks. Derek N. Dunham '89, President Dr. James R. O'Connell '76, Alumni Pres.

Northwestern As isbecoming usual, the'88-89 school year was kicked off on the right foot as we pledged 12 fine freshmen. It is a tribute to our rush chairman, Tom Cooper, who was able to successfully develop creative ideas for the first dry rush here at Northwestern. While other houses failed tomake the adjustment and had poor pledge classes, our pledge class represents the diversity and excellence westrive to maintain. Another DU, Bart Larrabee, was the IFC central rush chairman. Speaking of the IFC, Brother Pat Carroll ran a successful campaign and isnow thetreasurer of IFC. Pat is currently the chapter treasurer. Other DUs who are indistinguished campus leadership positions include Brother Eric Wollan, co-chairman of the campus-wide philanthropy dance marathon. It raised $113,000 for leukemia research last year. Our chapter contributed $4,000. we hope to match orincrease that figure this year. James R. Putt '89, President

Pennsylvania State The past sixmonths have been very productive forthe men ofthe Pennsylvania State Chapter and we are hard at work tackling the challenges of the new academic year. Penn State had a strong showing at the 154th Convention inJuly, bringing home two welldeserved honors: a Most Improved Chapter Award and anAcademic Achievement Award. This fall wepledged 16outstanding young men, ourlargest pledge class inapproximately 25years and one ofthe largest oncampus this semester. This isan outstanding rush accomplishment considering the number of men registered forrush this semester was down 40percent from last fall. Intramural performance has also improved. DU placed 25th in last spring's standings, upfrom the low40s ayear ago. Our chapter GPA also improved slightly but our ranking held steady at 11 thoutof52. DU is back! However we still have large obstacles to overcome. Although alumni relations have improved somewhat over the nadir offive years ago, attempts to generate local alumni interest have proved more frustrating than rewarding. Increasing alumni involvement is our top priority forthe upcoming year. Next onour agenda isour proud but aging chapter house which is sorely inneed ofmajor repairs. Leaky roofs and drafty windows and doors continue to plague us. We welcome and encourage all interested alumni tostop byand meet the future ofDU atPenn State; with
25
alumni support and advice, our chapter is sure to become even better. Christopher A. Keifer '89, Past President

San Jose We started this semester with a completely dry rush and we used it to the chapter's advantage. We started with the first week byselling the entire system, and in the second week we started promoting our chapter tothe rushees. We concentrated on five areas that we felt would best promote our brotherhood: social, sports, brotherhood, alumni, and sorority events. Two of the most successful events were the sorority mocktail mixer and our alumni smoker atTed Wallace's house who isone ofour active alumni. We ended upwith a 12-man pledge class. We have already raised $1,200 for the chapter by stacking books in the University bookstore. We planned a road trip to Reno this semester for our pledge dance. This semester we started DU 'man of the week" and DU "man of the month: given to the brother who goes above and beyond the call ofduty. This award is showing some good results in the chapter. We also won our first football game. I would also like to thank my executive officers fortheir outstanding work so far. The chapter would also like to thank Ted Wallace for the use of his house for our alumni smoker during rush. E. Shane Ryken '90, President
Santa Barbara All is going well in Santa Barbara. We have implemented a new scholarship program inwhich we hope to rocket to the top of the Greek community, although we are meeting resistance from Mother Nature asshe continues tobring temperatures into the 80s - making studying more difficult. Our continual rush program is coming along and we have implemented many of the ideas that we learned at Convention. We have met with our alumni onconducting some mock jobinterviews and a resume workshop. Plus we have a philanthropic event coming upthat will revolutionize the system here. Robert N. Ranes '90, President
South Carolina The men ofSouth Carolina had many accomplishments during the summer. Atthe Convention we were honored asafinalist for the Sweepstakes Award. This achievement has setthe tone for the coming year. We rushed hard this summer asbrothers traveled across the state toseveral functions. These functions helped uspledge 18men inthe fall. We are implementing programs in all areas to increase our brotherhood, scholarship, and our relations oncampus. We have completed our new brother manual, pledge manual, and are in the process of compiling a comprehensive scholarship program for our chapter. One of our problems last year was our lack of philanthropy projects. This year we have pledged todoaphilanthropic event amonth. We have several lined up, and the brothers are ready towork. We are also improving our alumni relations by creating a newsletter. It will be a bi-semesterly report on alumni, chapter events, and will have space for correspondence between alumni. If there are any contributions, please send them toP.O. Box 85128' USC} Columbia, SC 29208. We are inthe process ofplanning our formal inthe spring. We are gearing upfor the coming rush. D.

Southwest Missouri This fall has brought a renewed commitment to brotherhood, as well as to organization. We have implemented a formal working organization based upon 'full participation" committees. The chapter held two retreats. Topics of intense discussion and dedication were brotherhood, alumni relations, and aggressive rush. We have had asuccessful fall rush. As aresult we pledged 13quality men and initiated 11 fine gentlemen in a dual ceremony on September 1. The chapter congratulates these men. Our 1Othanniversarylhomecoming celebration was a truly special time. The renewal of alumni relationships and brotherhood were moving. Thanks toall in attendance. Inaddition, thanks to all parents and family who made our parents day asuccess. Challenges facing the chapter are repair of the chapter house, filling the few vacancies inthe house and continued rushing offine quality men. We'd enjoy hearing possible solutions from alumni who had have totackle these and other issues inthe past. Our next alumni event will be initiation in late January. Specific information will appear inthe Whats Up Ducks newsletter. James L. Boyer, Jr. '89, Past President
Swarthmore The last six months have been very rewarding. In the coming semester we hope to improve our programs and tohave a positive impact on campus. Brothers McCauley, Pope, and Higgins reported that the international Convention was both informative and fun. The whole chapter was ecstatic when they informed us that we had won second place President's Award in our division. Brother Pope also learned valuable information about the Regional Leadership Seminar that we host February 10-12. Second semester we were proud to welcome seven new brothers toour ranks and bring the total to 25forthe academic year. Our rush this semester isoff toagoodstart, and we hope toadd toour ranks sothat the size ofour Fraternity will not suffer when this year's 16-member senior class graduates.
