Pledgemaster’s Report The 2006-2007 school year proved to be a strong year for brother recruitment. Swarthmore Delta Upsilon’s numbers continued their recent increase with the induction of nine new brothers this year – seven freshmen and two sophomores – bringing the total number of brothers to 35 strong. Given the fraternity’s rising membership trend over the last few years, I am confident that we are currently headed towards a roster of over forty proud Delta Upsilon Brothers.

As pledgemaster, I was witness to the rapid progress that each of our new brothers made as pledges this past fall.

Over the course of the pledging process, each one of our pledges matured significantly. They showed me that they had mastered the material I had given them to learn, and did so with proactive enthusiasm. The brothers were able to count on the pledges when favors were needed, and conversely, our active brothers formed an effective support mechanism for Cont’d on next page Rush Chair, Fall ‘06

their pledges. Most importantly, our pledges showed me, as well as the rest of the brotherhood, that they were deserving of membership in Delta Upsilon. I have full confidence that each one of our nine new brothers will excel in their individual interests and will strengthen the bonds of our brotherhood, eventually expanding the opportunities available to each Delta Upsilon brother. The future is theirs, and they will surely make us proud.

Finding My Place on Campus Thomas Nakamura ‘10 A nervous freshman exposed to a world of independence for the first time, I looked at college ambivalently. After being dragged through a week of orientation activities, I was unsure where I could feel at home on campus. It was a Saturday night when I first walked in the Delta Upsilon lodge. Just standing there, I was instantly greeted by a handful of brothers.

Amongst the small talk, I explained my uneasiness about settling into a new school and having to invent myself in the new student environment. They related, and after many visits back to the lodge, I began to see the Delta Upsilon house as the home I feared I would not find at Swarthmore College. As a baseball player I was able to meet several brothers outside of house events and I realized even further how down to earth, intelligent and open the brothers of Delta Upsilon were.

Before taking up the bid to pledge I made a conscious effort to get to know the Brotherhood I felt so excited to become a part

of. I found that the brothers were not all carbon copies of the same person but were in fact from all corners of academic and athletic interests with numerous brothers balancing team and work related responsibilities while still remaining dedicated to the Brotherhood.

With all that said, it was a no-brainer to take up the bid to pledge, a choice that has led to unforgettable experiences and unbreakable bonds of friendship. As a brother today, I still remember that first Saturday night and still see the lodge as my home away from home and the keeper of my fondest memories.

A DU First Year Noah Lang ‘10 As much of a trying process as pledging can be, it was definitely made easier by pledging alongside my roommate Luke and two other Mertz dormitory students.

Reflecting upon pledging and the bonds I formed with the entire pledge class, I am confident that staying motivated, keeping up to date on pledge materials, and being on time to all events was made easier by pledging with my roommate. Despite the pass/fail semester we are given as freshmen, staying up to date on school work alongside house history, awards and brother information can be difficult to manage.

Having a roommate who was in the same boat as me and equally dedicated to becoming a brother made it easier to organize my time and be adequately prepared for pledge quizzes and other related events. One of my most distinct memories of pledging is

Triangle 2007 • page 3

one of our last night’s as pledges and the night before our exam as four of us sat in my room drilling each other on alumni information, songs, important dates and everything else from our pledge manuals. We sat up till 3 in the morning quizzing one another days before finals week started for our classes. Suffice it to say we all passed.

Since pledging ended the entire pledge class’s attachment to the house and everything we learned throughout pledging has seemingly not wavered and attendance at the house for meetings, cleanups, and set-ups has been outstanding. More recently myself and several other brothers have been working to redecorate and completely clean out the entire meeting room. We hope to get some new furniture and finish reorganizing the meeting room in time for the alumni banquet this year and have it looking fresh for the pledge class of 2007. The reorganization has lead us to decade old composites as well as scrapbooks, quarterlys, and original documents that have presumably gone untouched since the last brother(s) overhauled the crowded meeting room.

House news aside, the rest of my experience as a first semester brother has been amazing. With numerous events including a Super Bowl weekend party, a music performance by renowned hip-hop artist Thee Phantom, numerous birthday parties and most notably the annual Sager party which we agreed to cohost in an effort to further campus involvement. The house has seen its share of decorations this semester and has much more to come with Margaritaville fast approaching and several other all campus parties.

These events have increased our campus presence in the social and service scenes with several nonfraternity members calling us the only real fraternity on campus (us all knowing what that means).

All in all the whole fraternity is excited for the end of the school year and the inevitable planning for rush 2007-8 with several ideas for potential sponsors, rush events, and recruitment ideas. We look forward to meeting the incoming freshmen and the pledges that will make up the DU class of 2011.

Why I pledged Delta Upsilon Joel Tolliver ‘10 This year I was really excited to get my college career started. College will encompass four of the best years of my life and I wanted to make sure to have a well-rounded experience. It turns out that the guys at Delta Upsilon made the beginning of the year pretty interesting by having a week and a half of great events. During this time I met a lot of the current brothers as well as other freshmen that were thinking about pledging as well. I was not exactly sure if I would pledge or not, and then I realized that this was an experience that I could only have while at college. I decided this would help me make the most of my college experience, and as an added bonus, I had friends who were thinking of pledging Delta Upsilon as well.

Two of the freshmen that I already considered to be good friends were also contemplating joining the fraternity. I had known these guys since I was a prospective student at Swarthmore, so we were pretty cool with each other. It turns out that none of us had been completely sold yet on whether DU was for us. As most people understand, it’s easier to do some things as a group over doing them as an individual. We collectively decided that we would either all pledge together or not pledge at all. This unity that I had with these guys was an important factor in my decision to go through with pledging.

There were a few current brothers that ended up giving me some assurance that it would be a good decision to become a member of Delta Upsilon. The fall President of the chapter reached out to me personally which made me realize that these guys not only respected me as an individual but wanted me as a brother. All in all, the brothers at Swarthmore’s DU are a good bunch. A lot of them kept asking me if I was going to pledge and it made me feel like I was already a part of the brotherhood.

Triangle 2007 • page 6

After finding a good group of friends to pledge with, talking to a host of current brothers and just realizing how much this would add to my college experience, the choice became easy. I ended up being in an amazing pledge class and I’m glad that I made this decision. The brotherhood is close and I know that I can go to any of these guys if I ever need help with anything. This is one judgment that undoubtedly was a good one.

CFO REPORT: UPDATE ON THE FINANCIALS OF THE ALUMNI CORPORATION

By Ben Hall ’98 - CFO Alumni Corporation I want to take this opportunity to provide you with an important update on the financial health of our chapter & its Alumni Corporation. As you may recall, in our last fundraising letter, we discussed a critical issue: without substantial alumni donations we will be unable to continue our affiliation with the DU International Headquarters (IHQ) organization. This article will provide details on progress since that letter, along with more specific data on the kind of dollars we are talking about.

For each of the past several years our chapter’s finances have become tighter, and the 2006-07 academic year was no exception. By far the largest source of cost increases (and therefore financial pressures) have come from fees associated with our membership in the IHQ. Leading up to 2004, there had (again) been significant discussions about severing ties with the IHQ. After much dialogue among the alumni corporation members, with strong opinions on both sides of the issue, in 2004 the decision was made to re-commit ourselves to remaining part of the DU International organization, continuing over a century of rich tradition.

However, at the time of the re-commitment, it was also recognized that substantially increased financial support from our faithful alumni is required - and without it, we have to strongly reconsider the viability, and importance, of remaining part of DU International. Simply put, if remaining part of the IHQ is indeed important to the alumni, then the alumni body has to put its money where its mouth is by providing the revenue to support our IHQ relationship.

The total IHQ costs are too large for the undergraduate chapter to fund on their own - approaching between $400-450 per member per year. To put this in perspective, undergraduate dues currently stand at $500 per brother per year. Clearly the Alumni Corporation needs to shoulder the burden of the non-insurance IHQ fees.

(The undergrads will continue to be responsible for their own insurance costs which account for nearly half the IHQ costs - $238.81 per brother for the 06-07 academic year). Our fundraising letter talked about this concept of the alumni funding the non-insurance fees of the IHQ, but did not illustrate specific dollars. The attached charts outline the specific dollars we are talking about in this situation.

•

Figure #1 outlines the approximate income & expenses the chapter faces each year, with 2 major line items (fundraising & IHQ fees) listed as question marks. The purpose of this chart is not to lay out the exact to-the-dollar money in & out of the alumni corp. Rather, here is the conclusion to draw: our non-fundraising revenue (including the income kicked out quarterly by our Centennial Fund endowment, which remains strong and robust, with a principal balance in excess of a quarter-million dollars) is completely consumed by non-IHQ financial commitments. Put another way, if the alumni corporation is going to fund IHQ expenses, the money to do so must come from fundraising & donations.

•

Given this conclusion that any IHQ funding by the alumni corporation must come in the form of alumni donations, the next question is: exactly how much money are we talking about - that is, how much money do we need in the form of fundraising & donations on an annual basis? See Figure #2 this shows the alumni corporation’s share of the non-insurance expenses, as a function of the number of brothers & pledges. The bottom line: depending on the size of the brotherhood, we need to raise between $5,000 to $10,000 annually (i.e., every year!) to remain part of the IHQ.

Sw a r t h m o re De l t a Upsi l on

Triangle 2007 • page 8

To put this $5,000 to $10,000 in perspective: after our last fundraiser letter, we received approximately $3,600 in donations (which includes corporate matches) and our golf outing raised approximately $3,000 (which was uncharacteristically high - we would not anticipate this level of revenue from future golf fundraisers). So our total fundraising income this year was $6,600. Not a bad year, right? Well, except there were 18 brothers and 11 pledges initiated, making the alumni corporation share of the non-insurance fees over $7,000. So, even with our best fundraising campaign in years and what we feel is an unsustainably high level of revenues from our golf outing, we still came up short of the target break-even number!

To reiterate, we are not talking about the need for a one-time fundraising campaign. Rather, we are talking about the need to raise $5,000 to $10,000 (or more) each and every year to have our membership in the IHQ sustainable.

As mentioned earlier, among alumni there are very strong opinions on both sides of the issue as to whether we should or shouldn’t remain part of the DU International. But here is the bottom line: if we, as an alumni body, do value our membership in the IHQ, we collectively need to ante up and donate more money, more frequently. If these annual donations do not arrive, perhaps that sends an important message - i.e., that perhaps remaining part of the IHQ isn’t important to us collectively as an alumni organization.

No matter what the reason, without increased donations we will find ourselves in a position where there is nothing to debate - we simply will not have the money to pay the IHQ. I don’t mean to paint an excessively negative picture - it’s not all “doom & gloom.” The facts are the facts - financially we are stretched thin. But here is another fact - undergraduate brotherhood remains robust, enjoying a large pledge class, with strong & abundant leadership. These guys are awesome, good young men, with bright futures - and we should feel really good about that. Working with brothers like this is why I got involved with the DU Alumni Corporation in the first place, and it’s what keeps me going even in the face of the challenges our organization faces. The chapter is not falling apart at all - but make no mistake about it, we do face financial pressures.

I thank you all for your past, present, and (hopefully increased) future support.

Family Apprehension to Delta U Brandon Work ‘10

At the cost of taming my trailblazing spirit, I often must come to terms with the fact that I have followed my sister’s footprints for at least a few big decisions in my life. Her decision to attend Swarthmore brought me into contact with the school, and her experiences here brought me onto its campus. But when I pledged Delta Upsilon, I knew it was a decision that would fly in the face of her lifestyle, and all its preconceptions.

The first e-mail I received from her, studying in Morocco, read one word: “explain.” So I did—I explained DU’s principles, I talked about our community service efforts, and I tried to dispel the malicious rumors, which naturally ran the gauntlet from simple crude behavior to sexual harassment.

Of course, her intractable conviction in DU’s stereotypes did nothing to take away from my experience in the pledge process. But it did turn me on to the challenges fraternity members face here, occasionally from those we dislike, but oftentimes from those we respect enormously. In other words, I’m not done trying.

About a month ago, my sister finally went inside the DU house—but she still reserves a certain disdain for those who maintain it. It’s a stubbornness I find endemic to some of the most tolerant communities: especially at a school like Swarthmore, where maligned minorities form the majority, the hardest prejudices to scrub away are the ones that people realize are the last ones they have left.

my sophomore year proved somewhat difficult, as unlike the freshman, I did not have a pass/fail semester and the added commitment of pledging was quite time consuming. It was also difficult to adjust to being in a position where I had to obey my friends and classmates that I had already established a relationship with as a peer.

However, it was also great to be able to bond with a whole new group of people and get to know the freshman class a lot better than I ever would have otherwise. All told, even though pledging as a sophomore stressed me out academically and sometimes put me in an awkward position with my friends, it was a great experience that let me branch out and get to know a whole new group of great people. I also found myself impressed with the levels of respect shown throughout the brotherhood regarding one another, not excluding the pledges.

A Sophomore Pledge Scott Waymouth ‘09 Pledging was an interesting experience for me, as I watched many of my friends go through the process my freshman year, yet didn’t partake in it myself until I was a sophomore. Having to pledge
