DO Brother in Gear Up Florida For those who do not know me, my name is Matthew Smith. Currently I am a Senior at Texas A&M University studying Civil Engineering. I am proud to announce that this upcoming summer I am participating in Gear Up Florida. This summer event entitles a 850+ mile bike ride across the state starting in Miami and continuing until Tallahassee. This trip’s sole purpose is to spread a message of acceptance and understanding to those with disabilities.

It is my goal to learn to better appreciate, and to promote, the abilities of all people. This trip is made possible through fundraising. Over the next year I plan on fundraising a personal goal of $4000. Although this is a steep goal, I am confident that it is only together that we can create a community, one relationship at a time, where the abilities of all people are recognized and valued.

For more information about the journey, please reference The Ability Experience website, http://www.abilityexperience.org/.

Donations can be addressed to my personal fundraising page, https://www.classy.org/fundraise?fcid=729959 .

If there are any questions, please feel free to contact me;

Words from the Archon on Supreme Chapter During the week of July 28th ­ July 31st, Pi Kappa Phi hosted the 55th Supreme Chapter deep in the heart of Austin, Texas. Myself and one EC member, Logan Edwards, represented the men of Delta Omega. As an undergraduate senate, we adopted new legislation and put many key amendments in motion to forecast a brighter future. The week was full of awards and special achievements. At the awards dinner, Dr. Wade Birch, our most decorated chapter advisor, received a namesake award that will forever be presented at future Supreme Chapter meetings to come. It was a great honor to hear Dr. Birch speak on his history with Delta Omega and what it truly means to lead.

Throughout the weekend, Logan and I were also able to enjoy the company of many great alumni where we heard old stories and talked about future plans. The day following, one of our own Delta Omega brothers, Tom Sullivan, was inaugurated as the new National President. Congratulations to brother Sullivan! We are excited for the very bright future.

The active chapter is motivated by Tom's recent achievement and is ready to raise the bar to new heights.

House Renovations At the beginning of this last year, I had the idea to hold our first annual Delta Omega Father­Son workday at our beloved 1401 Athens Drive this summer. After discussing the idea with several dads on parents weekend, the actives began discussing what areas of the house could use work. It was decided that extending the deck in the side yard would be a good project. In the past, this area hasn't been used because it is always so muddy. The project team was graciously granted a project budget from the Alumni Housing Core. On August 6th, a team of ten actives/dads worked for 8 hours to accomplish our goal. Our project was a success, and the bond forged working in the Texas heat is not one that will be soon forgotten. A huge thank you goes out to all of the Fathers who attended this event, as well as those who donated to make it look even better than planned.

I believe that the added events that were solely funded by the alumni, Kyle Field Presidential Suite, Fox & Hound Pool Hall, and a Closing Recruitment Dinner, was the key to unlock a record breaking recruitment week. A special thank you is owed to the alumni that stepped up when their number was called. The active chapter greatly appreciates your contribution that directly resulted in the best fall recruitment this chapter has seen.
