Lambda Chi Alpha would like to introduce it’s newest campaign, LCA:Made. This new initiative puts the spotlight on members of our brotherhood that have been forged in Lambda Chi Alpha and came out as leaders, innovators, survivors, difference makers and vanguards. For the first time, the fraternity will place a priority on telling stories in a visually compelling manner. Capturing a firsthand look and feel of our brother’s accomplishments and journeys in a more captivating way than traditional print and photos. LCA:Made will showcase tangible examples of the fraternity’s core values and illustrate that our men “practice what they preach.” To begin, we feature Jack Hesser of Ball State. Through his sense of duty, Hesser propelled himself into the positions of High Alpha and SGA President. “When you have a sense of duty for an organization or a cause it really reflects on your passion for it.” You can find more of from his story here, http://www. lambdachi.org/education/member-experience/lca-made/

LCA: Made subject Jack Hesser waves to the Ball State student body during homecoming But this is only a small first step; brothers across the country just like Jack have stories to tell and a light to shine on just what type of men make up Lambda Chi Alpha. So let us pay you a visit. Send us your candidates and stories to communications@lambdachi.org with the subject line, “LCA:Made” and we’ll do the rest.

ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT: HERITAGE NIGHT Regional and local chapter traditions across Lambda Chi Alpha’s many zetas can be a historic and significant part of the chapter’s history and identity. These unique customs, when done correctly and with good reason, have a way of strengthening the local brotherhood and bridging generational gaps and experiences. b y Ky l e J o n e s ( M o n t e v a l l o )

The University of Delaware Lambda-Beta Zeta’s “Heritage Night” does just that. Incorporated into their formal recruitment, the chapter reaches out to over 45 years of alumni members to join them in meeting current active members and most importantly, potential new members. Beginning in 2010, the small and struggling chapter looked for ways to set themselves apart and achieve a new level of success. With less than 30 active members, they were a third of the size of the largest fraternities on campus. Those other organizations had a seemingly huge competitive advantage over Lambda-Beta Zeta in recruiting, such as, they could sell the larger brotherhood, larger budget for programming and the ability to mix with sororities who were typically 250 members. Having only initiated five new members the following spring, something different and within the chapter’s means had to be done. Noticing this, former High Pi and current associate director of alumni involvement, George Taylor, contacted alumni member Lyman Chen, a former alumni chairman during his active days with the chapter. “I knew we could drastically improve on this,” said Chen. “Analyzing our strengths, I realized that most of the fraternities on campus had been kicked off from one time to

another and brought back in different incarnations. Most of the fraternities were five years old at the most. Although we had very tough times and had even gotten down to single digits at one point. We had survived continuously for 45 years with about 800 alumni coming through our bond, many local and quite successful. This was our competitive advantage. Especially considering that in 2010, we were in the very heart of the economic recession and getting employment after graduation was especially a dire proposition.” After reaching out to their network of alumni brothers, “Heritage Night” was born. Uniting the active and alumni resources yielded an associate class three times the size of the prior semester, and the tradition continuing on for the next ten semesters. Current High Rho of Lambda-Beta Chris Mule spoke on the latest Heritage Night and the event’s initial impact on his joining. “We had about 30 in attendance,” said Mule. “There has been a lot of excitement with our 50th anniversary coming up and the opportunity for actives and potential new members to meet alumni from the past 50 years made it a really fantastic event.” “The reason why I joined about two and a half years ago was because of this event. You expect to talk to just a

SUCCESSES OF HERITAGE NIGHT 1. Alumni Involvement: Gives an easy way for a local alumni to get involved and meet fellow alumni and actives. The key to any organization is for every member to have skin in the game. This event gives a specific purpose that alumni know they can help support the chapter versus just supporting the chapter financially.This also a great way for alumni brothers from other Zetas who live locally to remain involved. 2. Real example of “Lifetime of Brotherhood”: What can come across as a cliche saying to many, hearing a 19 yearold kid sell this ideal versus a 70 year-old alumni who personifies its meaning by their mere presence is a huge difference to a potential member. A lot of the older alumni are initially reluctant to attend because they feel they will be out of place and not able to relate. On the

few actives, but you meet people who are working in the real world. It really brings it close to home and shows how deep and strong our brotherhood of Lambda Chi Alpha is,” he added. Mule also noted the event puts the aspect of brotherhood in perspective for potential new members, where other groups could only talk about brotherhood and a lifetime bond, the Lambda-Beta Zeta are able to showcase that in the flesh. “One thing Lambda Chi has always been great at is having high ideals and putting things on paper for what we strive for. Heritage Night takes those words off the paper and gives an example. It shows an 18 year old man what we believe, right there in person,” added Chen. “There’s guys 45 or 65 years old at the event, and they don’t have to be there. It takes an effort that they want to come, not because we paid them or something. Its very

sincere and you can see how much passion is there.” With only a month or two of planning and an emphasis on communication, Lambda-Beta’s alumni officers have been able to connect and utilize about 95 percent of their alumni base and incorporate them into the semesterly event. “We’re still a brotherhood,” said Mule. “It’s the real deal. I don’t think it would be as strong and we wouldn’t have this generational bond without an event like this.”

contrary, these alumni draw the most attention from our actives and potential members, much to the joy of the alumni attending. Getting to hear first hand the stories and history of the chapter have a real impact not only to the potentials, but gives the active brothers a true appreciation of the legacy of the chapter and the importance of being guardians of the future well being of the chapter. Seeing is believing. 3. Ends the US vs. THEM mentality: Like most chapters, the active-alumni relationship is a weak one, with a US versus THEM mentality. Previously, the only interaction and perception actives had of alumni would be the alumni who would stop by and want to re-live the “Glory Days.” By both alumni and actives working together, a common respect is formed and just as an active membership thrives with diversity, having a diverse group of alumni involved builds a strong mutual respect for one another.

A BROTHERHOOD OF SERVICE: ACROSS THE COUNTRY OUR MEN MAKE A DIFFERENCE Lambda Chi Alpha raises $20,000 for charity DU’s chapter of the Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity recently donated $20,000 to the National Sports Center for the Disabled (NSCD), one of the world’s largest therapeutic recreation agencies with an array of yearround sports and recreational experiences offered for all disabilities and diagnoses.

In the winter, participants can enjoy cross-country skiing, alpine skiing, snowboarding, Nordic hut trips, ski racing and snowshoeing with the mountain programs. In the spring, summer and fall, partakers can go rock climbing, swimming, sailing, camping, horse riding, river rafting, canoeing and kayaking. “They are an amazing organization headquartered in the Mile High Stadium,” said Nicolas Salvini, Lambda Chi Alpha’s Philanthropy Chair. Half of the donation money was generated from members growing 1970s-style mustaches and asking friends and families to sponsor them by donating to the NSCD—the greater the mustache, the greater the donations. Additionally, each member of the chapter was expected to donate at least $50. The rest of the donation money came from ticket sales for Mustache Bash: a benefit concert where party-goers don their most extravagant disco garb and dance to throwback ‘70s hits played by a live band. To make the event as accessible and safe as possible, Lambda provides transportation to and from the venue and utilizes sober monitors both in the busses and at the concert. “We really want people to be aware of what an amazing impact the NSCD has,” said Salvini. The DU chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha has raised over $100,000 for the disabled from many years of mustache antics, and Salvini said they look forward to another successful fundraising period come springtime.

The Gamma-Omicron Zeta was able to finish their week of philanthropy by raising $15,900 which will go to benefit Ele’s Place. A healing center for children across Michigan for grieving children and teens who have lost a parent or loved one. During the week the chapter hosted a Junior 500 soap box derby, a Crescent Girl competition and painted the MSU rock with Ele’s Place children and faculty. Gamma-Omicron was also featured in the MSU Homecoming parade, being the only fraternity featured. “Fortunately, I’ve been blessed having my parents growing up,” said Sims. “A couple of our members have lost their parents growing up, so it is really a cause that touches our hearts and we want to give back to families.”

Lambda Chi raises $10k in inaugural color run By Arnelle Jones The Herald, Arkansas State University student publication

Jonesboro community came together to walk, run and raise money for the Arkansas Children’s Hospital as well as have some child-like fun with colored powder. The energetic mood was apparent early Saturday morning as the participants gathered in front of the Arkansas State University Biosciences Institute to checkin, mingle and get pumped up to music by DJ King Vick. Jason Woodworth, sophomore accounting major of North Little Rock and Lambda Chi Alpha member, said 100 percent of the profits from the more than $10,000 raised will go to Arkansas Children’s Hospital. The planning for the event began in July, and was headed by the Lambda Chi Alpha Philanthropy Chair Jared Dietz. Earl Morris, Lambda Chi Alpha alumnus and 2015 Wilson Award recipient, said he was glad to see the volunteerism at the race. “I’m really proud of these guys for putting this on. It’s really cool to see them give back to the community,” Morris said. As the air became accented with purple, green, orange and blue powder, a countdown was initiated as the runners and walkers arrived at the starting line. When the countdown finally arrived to one, participants tossed the remaining amounts of their colored powder into the air began the race. The 5k route began and ended in front of the Biosciences Institute and wrapped through campus by Centennial Bank Stadium, down University Loop, and past the Convocation Center. Despite this being their first time hosting a color run, Lambda Chi was met with great success. According to organization’s official Instagram, the event raised over $10,000. Many participants are already excited to attend the next one. Lambda Chi is grateful for all who showed their support for this event.

Chapter Report Card This report focuses on five major areas of chapter operation:Membership, Academics, Education, Risk Management, and Alumni Engagement. This report will also note the “status” of each chapter or colony, whether they are in Good Standing or on Probation.

Membership In accordance to the Law of the Fraternity, “the total numberof Collegiate Brothers and Associate Members must be equal in number to the campus average for fraternities, or 40, whichever is smaller, but in no event fewer than 20.” This area reports the total number of current members in the chapter, the average membership size for fraternities on campus, and the total number of current new members associated with the chapter over a year period. The data in this area will be based upon the roster updates submitted by the chapter

Scholastics In accordance to Article III, Section 3.B of the Constitution & Statutory Code, “the chapter must achieve an annual cumulative scholastic grade point average of not less than a 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale) or the all men’s average for the campus, whichever is the lesser, but in any event not less than the scholastic average required for graduation.” This area reports the last reported chapter’s grade point average, the last reported all men’s average for the campus,

and the chapter’s academic ranking according to the latest grade report. The data in this area will be based upon information submitted by host institutions.

Education Approved by the Grand High Zeta, the Lambda Chi Alpha’s Strategic Plan calls for all chapters and colonies to implement the Outer Circle programming of the True Brother Initiative by 2017. The Outer Circle evaluation process is comprised of nine specific points of evaluation for all three Outer Circle components. All questions are structured in such a way that the only answer is “Yes” or “No”, resulting in one point for each “Yes” and no points for each “No”. This area reports the chapter’s implementation score for the Outer Circle programming of the True Brother Initiative, as well as reports the number of chapter attendees at the most recent international conference and regional conclave. The data in this area will be based upon information submitted by the chapter’s visit report from the ELC, and by the Office of Administration.

Alumni Volunteers The role of a chapter adviser is vital to the success of any chapter or colony. It is the goal of the Grand High Zeta and Office of Administration to ensure that every chapter and colony have the alumni support necessary to succeed. This area reports the current number of certified chapter advisers,

The data in this area will be based upon information submitted by the chapter to the Office of Administration.

Harm Reduction Harm Reduction is Lambda Chi Alpha’s approach to risk management. The concept of Harm Reduction puts the action in the hands of the brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha, and puts emphasis on what you “can do” to make sure your events and activities are prepared in a manner that reduces the potential for problems or harm. This area reports the number of Event Planning Form submitted by the chapter over a year period, and the most recent chapter’s Harm Reduction Report score. They are scored: Excellent, Above Average, Average, Below Average, Needs Improvement, Poor.

THE ZETA-UPSILON STORY Oxford, Ohio, located in picturesque southwest Ohio, is home to Miami University. The university was founded in 1809 by the state legislature. Miami is known as the “Mother of Fraternities.” While others may claim that title there is no doubt that Miami has a right to it.

INTRODUCTION Four fraternities and one sorority originated on Miami’s campus. Beta Theta Pi was founded in 1839, Phi Delta Theta was organized in 1848, Sigma Chi in 1855, Phi Kappa Tau started in 1906, and Delta Zeta in 1902. Miami has had a long and well established fraternity system for nearly 170 years. It is among the oldest college fraternity systems in North America. THE ADANERION CLUB Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity came to Miami in 1950. However its roots go back to 1940 when then president of Miami, Alfred Upham, invited a group of men to form a new organization on campus. These men named their organization the Adanerion Club. The meaning of the name they gave their club is unknown though it is probably derived from “Adelpos” which is Greek for brotherhood. From the beginning the purpose of the group, as written in the club’s minutes, was “…to start an organization that upon gaining a stable membership would be qualified to receive a charter from some well-founded and nationally prominent fraternity.” Within a short time the Adanerion Club had officers, a constitution, the backing of the university administration, a fair sized membership of thirtynine men and a house. Once the group was recognized by the university it created a ritual and designed a badge. World War II put an end to the Adanerion Club. By 1944 only five members were left in the club as the other members went off to serve in the military. In 1946 the Adanerion Club was reactivated with the return of twelve of its original members from military service.

ZETA-UPSILON ZETA During its first full year as a chapter, Zeta-Upsilon began its famous “Chariot Race” as a major event of Greek Week. This event featured a handcrafted simulated chariot that was pulled by four fraternity men. The race was a single elimination series of 100 yard heats with four men pulling a sorority girl who tried to guide the chariot! There were accidents but fortunately no one was ever seriously injured. The Chariot Race lasted for fifty years as the culminating event of Greek Week. Often the outcome of this race determined the winner of the Greek Week Trophy. Huge crowds, sometimes numbering a thousand or more, attended the event at the old Miami Field. Unfortunately, Zeta-Upsilon never won its own event. A new house was started in 1960 at 307 North Bishop Street directly across from the old house still owned and occupied by the fraternity. The new house was completed in 1964 with a capacity of

A COLONY OF LAMBDA CHI ALPHA In 1947 the group grew large enough to assume the name of Alpha Gamma Pi in preparation to petition a national fraternity. The local fraternity became a colony of Lambda Chi Alpha due much to the efforts of a transfer member of Lambda Chi by the name of Jack Hendry. He was an enthusiastic supporter of affiliating with Lambda Chi Alpha. Jack became the colony president at the same time his wife Lorraine became the president of Alpha Zeta-Upsilon’s Chapter House Omicron Pi sorority. This husband and wife team was likely the first to simultaneously hold their 32 Brothers. It was a unique building for Miami’s Greek group’s highest office. Jack later became the predominantly Georgian architecture. It looked chapter’s High Pi and was named the “Advisor of more like it belonged in the Rocky Mountains as a the Year” at Miami in 1965. ski lodge!
