A Spark of Courage

In any given time in the history of our world, there have been great acts of courage! Consider those men who founded Delta Upsilon at Williams College.

In 1825, the first collegiate secret society known today as a fraternity, the Kappa Alpha Society, was formed at Union College in Schenectady, New York. With the establishment of the Kappa Alpha Society, Union College became the first university in North America to have a men’s secret society on its campus.

Within a few short years the formal college fraternity system was established. Originally, these secret societies attempted to bring like-minded men together and create a brotherhood where they could grow both socially and intellectually. Unfortunately, as secret societies grew in size and influence, some of their principles went quickly by the wayside.

!eir purpose grew away from scholarly pursuits such as debating and literary societies, to become political machines securing privileges from college administrations by electing members to influential college offices, whether they were qualified or not. !eir behavior raised previously unheard of distinctions, jealousies and animosity where none were needed.

To another group of men, their sense of justice was offended; they disliked the practice of conferring honors without merit. !ey were convinced that honor should go to men on merit, men who truly earned their rewards, and not to unqualified men. In order to keep their membership secret and prevent their activities from being revealed the secret societies used handshakes, code words, and mysterious rituals known only to their members.

On the evening of November 4, 1834 a courageous group of 30 students; ten from each of the three classes (freshmen, sophomores and juniors) met in the Freshman Recitation Room in West College on the Williams campus and formed the Social Fraternity known today as Delta Upsilon International Fraternity. !is anti-secret society was formed based on merit, honesty and integrity. !e original men made public their constitution, membership list, principles, activities and even their rituals.

!ey chose a name: !e Social Fraternity. “Social” didn’t mean entertainment events, as many fraternity men mistakenly believe today. Instead, it was much broader. It meant an interest in life’s interactions among people, and how society could better itself from the positive interactions of brotherhood.

!e secret societies ridiculed the new group. But the small band of courageous men knew full well that the Social Fraternity would thrive. Because its vision matched those of the college, the Social Fraternity soon had more than half the men on campus in its ranks — and soon, the first DUs dominated the lists of campus honors. !is courageous idea of a spirited brotherhood based on merit spread rapidly.

While other early fraternities greeted each other with secret handshakes, DU was promoting friendship and developing character. While the secret fraternities wasted energy guarding secrets, DU fought to advance justice and spread liberal, learned culture.

But today as I travel to visit our chapters and other Greek organizations, the only courage I may be confronted with is “why can’t we drink and party at the house like we want to?” It is hard to believe that the courageous acts of this small band of men have almost been forgotten and too many men are reduced to mind-numbing activity.

We live in disruptive times. As such, everything we know transcends into everything we once knew. How we communicate, connect, discover, learn and share is changing. New and emerging technology is becoming increasingly relentless and it is forcing evolution or complete transformation. We will all at some point collide with disruption. And in that moment, we will have a choice to make. We either fall to mind-numbing activity or choose to embrace change, then we will see the possibilities beyond what’s immediately apparent to pave the way toward a more meaningful outcome.

But again, it takes courage. It takes courage to see what others don’t or do what others won’t. It takes courage to push forward when pushed back.

Robert Kennedy (son of Joseph P. Kennedy, Harvard 1912) in a 1966 speech once said, “Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change.”

As we reflect on the history of our storied Fraternity, may a spark of courage from our founding brothers be rekindled in our hearts as we press into healthy realities of what it is to be better men!

Thomas Berry, Elon ‘13 and Jacob Branchaud, Elon ‘13 were recognized for their contributions as colony presidents during the April 21 Installation Ceremony.

Delta Upsilon’s 157th Chapter Chartered at Elon University

!e Elon Chapter was installed on Saturday, April 21 at Elon University in North Carolina. Delta Upsilon’s 157th Chapter welcomed 60 initiates including one alumnus, Col. Lawrence “Rocky” Lane, USAF (Ret.). !e ceremony took place in the Carl Woods Center at the Elon University Football Stadium and was followed by a reception at the Alamance Country Club.

Fraternity President Bernard Franklin, Kansas State ’75 gave the charge. He spoke about why he joined Delta Upsilon and how important it is to have difficult conversations with your brothers. He also talked about the need for global leaders and how we must understand how to talk to and work with those who are different.

Past Colony President !omas Berry, Elon ’13 referred to the chartering events as sublime. “To have this dream become a reality is a feeling that most people never experience in their entire lives and to see this dream become a reality was one of the best experiences of my life,” he said. “To build something that will touch the lives of so many people for generations to come makes you feel like a part of something much larger than yourself and to finally see this fraternity go from an idea, to an interest group, to a colony to an actual chapter is the neatest experience I have ever had.”

More than 80 guests including members from the North Carolina State Chapter attended. Elon Chapter Advisor Paul Taylor, North Carolina State ’89 presented the new chapter with a jeweled president’s badge. Other advisors in attendance included, Assistant Director of Admissions Ashley Pearson and Director of the Multicultural Center Leon Williams.

Brother Lane, Elon ’75 commented that the ceremony was professionally conducted and very meaningful, especially for those who  took the stated words to heart. “During my 39 years of Air Force service to this great nation I lived by many

of the same principles of those of Delta Upsilon,” Lane said. When Brother Paul Taylor asked if I would help mentor the new chapter at Elon University, I jumped at the opportunity to help develop young men. Doing so had been one of my priorities in the military. While working with the new colony members it was easy to lay the foundation of Friendship, Character, Culture and Justice as the road to Building Better Men. Lane, who earned his B.S. at Armstrong University and his M.A. at Ball State University, will use his undergraduate graduation year with the Elon Chapter designation.

!e new chapter presented gifts to their three advisors along with International Fraternity President, Bernard Franklin, Kansas State ’75 and Executive Director, Justin Kirk, Boise State ’00. Other members of the Elon Greek community also attended along with the Director and Assistant Director for Greek Life, Shana Plasters and Eden Esters.

Just more than a century ago, members of Delta Upsilon proposed formalizing a ritual for the Fraternity. Up until the 1890s, there had been little in writing, and what the Fraternity ritual consisted of had varied to some degree from chapter to chapter. It wasn’t until 1900 when chapters began comparing their own take on ritual that the need for a unified initiation ceremony became apparent and the membership agreed.

Handshakes and shouts were considered and dismissed. Chapters were surveyed and alumni feedback was collected. It became clear that some things chapters were doing were, for the most part, superfluous. For more than a decade, a number of drafts of the ritual were brought forth between committees, through focus groups and before the annual conventions. In 1910, Delta Upsilon’s Executive Council announced that John Erskine, Columbia 1900 had revised the final draft of the Ritual of Initiation. In 1911, the draft brought before convention was formally approved, and 100

years ago this fall, in 1912, the Fraternity published the ritual and distributed it to chapters as a hard-bound booklet. In its published form, chapters finally had before them a tradition molded by dozens of chapters and thousands of alumni, over seven decades.

As it was in 1911, the ritual originally consisted of three rites. In the first rite, the candidates were reminded of the history and meaning of Fraternity membership. After being informed of the vows to be taken, each man was asked of his willingness to continue in the next rite. At the same time, for the second rite, the rest of the chapter would meet in another room, where they were informed of the candidates being initiated and given the opportunity to express any objections. !en for the third rite the candidates would formally recite the pledge before the chapter and alumni members. Because of the nature of the ceremonies, the first and second rites were performed simultaneously, until 1921 when the second and third rites were combined to reflect a more open ceremony.

During the 70 years preceding the ritual’s formalization, the Fraternity saw much change. In the beginning, ritual was bare — only a solemn promise to each other existed on that autumn night in 1834. Within days, the first symbol emerged as the men carried with them a brass triangle worn over their heart, a symbol of loyalty to their cherished beliefs. In 1840, just a few years after the founding under the name the Social Fraternity, a pledge was created by brothers at Williams. !e pledge was adopted along with the first Constitution, and used for the following decades.

By 1847, with the Fraternity’s first Convention and formation of the Anti-Secret Confederation, a number of changes and topics of debate came to the Fraternity’s forefront. Included in these discussions were the use of various keys, or badges, and suggestions for official names, none of which were universally favored.

With the addition of the Union Chapter in 1838 came the first challenge to the Fraternity’s identity. Self-named the Equitable Union, the chapter contributed the motto Ouden Adelon, or Nothing Secret. With the addition of other chapters came other names. By the time the Fraternity had adopted the name Delta Upsilon, it has been referred to as the Social Fraternity, the Equitable Fraternity, the Anti-Secret Confederation as well as a number of others as suggested by each chapter.

Following the dissolution of the Anti-Secret Confederation, the motto Dikaia Upotheke, meaning Justice, Our Foundation, was adopted in 1858. In 1864, the Fraternity adopted the current Fraternity name along with the official colors (then just blue and gold) and badge. Also in that year, the Fraternity agreed to a naming system for chapters, where chapters would take the name of their institution. Two years later, the Rochester Chapter released the first book of songs. At that time, the first use of the Initiation Song was noted during ritual until the Fraternity Ode was officially accepted nearly 60 years later.

In 1882, the Quarterly began regular distribution with the first issue printed by the Amherst Chapter. In the decade following, discussion on unifying symbols and ritual came

as a number of iterations of Fraternity colors, crests and ceremonies came up during each convention. An alumni ritual was added in 1919, with roll books added to the ceremony in 1921. By 1937, in the 25 years following the ritual being published, the addition of ribbons being worn by initiates and robes by officers were included during initiation, along with pledge buttons and a ceremony officiating the pledging of associate members. Nearly all of the additions to date were brought up as traditions started by chapters, a legacy passed on by word of mouth and through annual gatherings.

!rough it all, with most every aspect of the Fraternity ritual reconsidered, the actual Oath of Initiation saw little change since it was originally penned in 1837. What originated as the pledge of the Social Fraternity was rephrased as Delta Upsilon’s Oath of Initiation. Nearly all of the text was copied verbatim.

!e Oath and the ceremony of initiation has survived decades, untouched, largely because each chapter performed it as it was performed for them. !e result of the 1912 unified ritual was true to the ritual and legacy passed on by the many who had performed it. It captured completely the values of our Founders and the sole reason for the Fraternity’s founding, not much else was needed. !e same continues to be true.

Currently, the ritual stands as two rites. In 2000, the language used throughout the ceremony was updated. Funeral and memorial ceremonies were added along with officer installation and pledging ceremonies. By that time, the Ritual Book was also made available online and the ceremony added to regular business at each annual convention.

As they have done for decades, chapters continue to adapt the ritual to better share our beliefs with others. !e first initiation by way of Skype took place in 2009 for members of Webster who were studying in Geneva, Switzerland. !e Elon Chapter followed suit by live-streaming the colonization and installation ceremonies online. !ese live-streamed feeds offered in 2011 and 2012 were watched by many who could not attend the ceremony.

While we celebrate this year as the centennial of our written ritual, it’s important to recognize the work of men who, in 1911, decided to record in print a tradition passed on by our Founders. !ough the 30 men who started the Social Fraternity may not recognize many of the symbols and ceremonies celebrated today, it’s safe to assume that they would feel honored by the consideration taken in maintaining the sentiment they observed nearly 178 years ago.

Many thanks are due to the countless editors and chapter historians who have collaborated to record the Fraternity’s history. !e compilation of facts in this article would not be possible without the work and dedication of William S. Chase, Brown 1881 (Quinquennial Catalogue), William F. Galpin, Northwestern 1913 (Delta Upsilon: One Hundred Years), Orvill H. Read, Missouri 1933 (Challenge, Conflict and Change: !e First 150 years of Delta Upsilon Fraternity) and Craig S. Sowell, Houston 1992 (Revealing the Non-secrets). Copies of these works can be found online at deltau.org/publications.

“So long as there are wrongs to set right and college students to be stimulated and prepared for the higher and nobler duties of life, it ought to have a permanent and vigorous existence.”

K to College is the story of a humble nonprofit that grew from a borrowed pickup truck and the laptops of a few DU brothers and a couple classmates, into the largest effort of its kind in the nation. It began when Benito Delgado-Olson, California ’07, Steve Frances, California ’08, Sean Carr, California ’07, Sloan Coats, California ’09, Peter Hsiue, California ’10, Jenny Zhu and Daanica Gordon created a student group. Before long, K to College was incorporated as a nonprofit, centered on one goal: to provide disadvantaged school-aged children with the tangible resources they need to achieve.

K to College’s first two efforts towards that end are the School Supply and Dental Kit Initiatives, which provide disadvantaged students with $65-70 kits of materials at a $22 cost (to K to College). Since 2010, K to College has distributed more than $12,000,000 of grade-appropriate school and dental supply kits to more than 175,000 students in 50 Bay Area school districts, becoming the largest effort of its kind. Targeting public school students enrolled in the subsidized lunch program, K to College partners directly with school districts for the distribution to verifiably ensure they reach those most in need.

It began in January 2009, when 40 DU brothers and 40 sisters of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority met for a philanthropy exchange to assemble 300 school supply kits.

Shortly afterwards, the kits were distributed at the South Berkeley YMCA. With rich media presence, the distribution was an opportunity to publicly introduce K to College’s business model based on market power for the public benefit and collaboration. Within a few weeks, K to College received substantial corporate interest and access to a manufacturer’s network that produced up to a 200 percent in-kind match for every dollar spent on supplies.

!e following January K to College gathered more than 500 UC Berkeley students and community volunteers, in addition to the entire California Chapter, in the Pauley Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. Student Union Building to assemble 16 truckloads of supplies into 10,000 kits. Recognizing DU’s heavy involvement, the Berkeley Mayor issued a proclamation in their honor and Cal Greeks awarded the chapter for organizing the service event of the year. Upon securing funds for an additional 146,000 kits, equivalent to 160 54-foot semi-trailers full of supplies, K to College quickly surpassed the capacity of volunteer-based efforts. Furthermore, to fully develop a scalable model, K to College needed an industrial assembly fulfillment solution.

!at solution came from one of K to College’s valued volunteers, State Senator Mark DeSaulnier: to integrate the assembly as the community service component of the California Prison Industry (CALPIA) Modular Enterprise at Folsom Prison. Working with three local unions to educate minimum-security inmates how to construct steel framed buildings, the participants used their expertise to produce highly efficient assembly lines, producing 10,000 kits daily. As a small gesture of gratitude, they were also able to provide kits to their own children. Receiving national press coverage (ktocollege.org/cnn), this partnership led to legislation to amend the California state penal code, enabling K to College the continued opportunity to work with CALPIA and scale their program indefinitely.

With a firm model, K to College is pursuing their greatest challenge yet: to make 2012 the first back-to-school season in the Bay Area where all of the 400,000 low-income public school students return to the classroom fully prepared.

Furthermore, K to College will begin statewide operations. Working towards these goals, K to College has secured the written support of more than 80 Bay Area superintendents and presidents of relevant state associations, commenced pilot operations throughout the state and drafted a statewide plan to assist the 220,000 homeless children enrolled in our public schools.

It is often cited that education is the currency of the future and the best means to lift a child from one social class to the next. As the President said in the State of the Union address, “A great teacher can offer an escape from poverty to the child who dreams beyond his circumstance… Most teachers work tirelessly, with modest pay, sometimes digging into their own pocket for school supplies – just to make a difference.” Unfortunately, too many teachers are in classrooms full of students who are unprepared because they do not have the adequate materials to take full advantage of their education, crippling their confidence and limiting their potential.

Fortunately, K to College is helping students achieve their potential and regain their confidence, which wouldn’t have been possible without the efforts of DU and their continued commitment to K to College’s mission. !is commitment is evident through the involvement of the past six chapter presidents. Out of those six, David Blanchard, California ’13, and Austin Peck, California ’12, are current employees of the non-profit, Steve Frances, California ’08 is the COO, Peter Hsiue, California ’10, is on the board of directors, and Benito Delgado-Olson, California ’07, is the co-founder and executive director. Not only have recent undergraduates from the California Chapter been active in helping K to College achieve its mission, Don Solem, California ’63 is the current board chair and has been involved since volunteering at our assembly event in 2010.

It is, in large part, because of the California Chapter of Delta Upsilon that K to College has the opportunity to scale a program that touches the very principle of what it means to be poor: a lack of resources. With a track-record of success, the infrastructure and the proper support, K to College has the opportunity to expand to a size that surpasses the total need of most states, while producing hundreds of jobs and reinventing the back-to-school status quo. It is their vision that no child should return to the classroom unprepared and because of the hard work and dedication of a few principled DU brothers, coupled with the innovative spirit of three county agencies, this vision could become a reality in the near future.

Recent research conducted by the International Headquarters has revealed the following:

Every DU chapter has some amount of local-level advisement (usually from two or three alumni), but very few chapters have full advisory boards.

Relatively few DU alumni have ever served as a DU volunteer of any kind, but hundreds said they would be interested in opportunities to mentor a young DU.

As Delta Upsilon adapts to meet the expectations of today’s students and our partners in higher education, the Fraternity’s need for committed alumni to step forward and play an active role in Building Better Men is greater than ever.

Most current vacancies require a commitment of only one hour per week, on average. Most advisors are assigned to mentor one specific undergraduate officer—helping him meet his responsibilities as fully and effectively as possible—and are NOT asked to be THE chapter advisor. !ough every chapter does, of course, need an actively engaged chapter advisor, most already have one.

Some chapters have learned that a mix of DU alumni and non-DUs (who typically work as faculty or staff at the host institution) provide a useful diversity of perspectives as well as local availability.

Here is an example of what could be considered an ideal advisory board:

Position Advisor LocationAlumni President James Walters, Carnegie ‘79 Chicago

Corporation President James Walters, Carnegie '79 Chicago

Corporation Treasurer Frank Palmieri, Carnegie '85 Pittsburgh Area

Chapter Advisor 1 David Williams, Carnegie '64 Pittsburgh Area

Chapter Advisor 2 Samantha Noblit Nearby Campus

Campus/Faculty Advisor James Morris, Carnegie '63 Pittsburgh Area

VP-Administration Advisor Jenn Cerully Pittsburgh Area

VP-External Relations Advisor Leah Worbs On Campus

VP-Finance Advisor Robert Zimmerman, Carnegie '78 Michigan

VP-Loss Prevention Advisor James Dobos, Carnegie '77 Pittsburgh Area

VP-Membership Education Advisor Helen Wang On Campus

VP-Recruitment Advisor Samantha Noblit Nearby Campus

Under this model, the corporate officers focus on leading the alumni corporation, while the team of nine advisors provides guidance to the undergraduate chapter as a whole and to the undergraduate officers individually.

If you are not already a DU volunteer, please consider becoming one. You will not only enhance your own DU experience, but you’ll be living out the Fraternity’s mission of Building Better Men with every interaction you have with your student.

James R. Hooper, Rochester ’71 became the first Rochester alumnus honored with the Founders Medal, last spring. !e Founders Medal, the highest honor bestowed on a Delta Upsilon alumnus from the International Fraternity, acknowledges extraordinary time and inspirational service. !e award is given to a member who provides unparalleled support and direction to a Delta Upsilon Chapter, and who exemplifies the ideals and principles of Delta Upsilon through his actions; it has only been conferred 31 times since it was established in 2001.

For more than 22 years, Brother Hooper has served the Fraternity, the Rochester Chapter and the brotherhood with honor and distinction.

Daryl Reisfeld, Rochester ‘04 and Peter Rouff, Rochester ’96 presented the award. Reisfeld, serves as Province Governor for Province 3 which includes chapters in Pennsylvania and New York and also serves the Rochester Chapter as alumni board vice president.

“I first met Jim in the spring of 2000. I was an ambitious associate member, committed to interviewing not only current undergraduate brothers but also many alumni.” said Reisfeld. “Over the course of many hours one spring afternoon, Jim imparted wisdom, told stories, and enriched my way of

thinking and approaching the fraternity in a way that only Jim can do. !is shaped my involvement in Delta Upsilon, and impacted my fraternity experience in a meaningful way. Jim’s significant impact on the Rochester Chapter – and its members – will continue to be felt for decades to come.”

Since the Rochester Chapter’s re-founding in 1989, Hooper has served as alumni board treasurer but his service to the chapter goes far beyond title. “Most important to an organization’s success is the gift of time,” said Rouff. “Jim has given his time in spades… In 2004, the chapter – in response to the chapter’s agreement with the University, in exchange for a fraternity quad house – began offering a programming curriculum to the River Campus. Jim embraced the additional advisory responsibility and captained the alumni support for this new endeavor. He has worked closely with each undergraduate programming chairperson and brought a contagious enthusiasm for big projects like the Jazz appreciation program, re-founding of Logos and Bill Nye.”

During tumultuous times on the alumni board and through undergraduate chapter difficulties, Hooper has risen to the occasion acting as a mediator, learned advisor, or as the situation deemed fit: sounding board, trusted advisor, or simply a great ear to listen.

International President Bernard Franklin, Kansas State ’75 gave an inspirational keynote address challenging the chapter to strive for even greater success in the areas of diversity and personal development. Brother Paul Edgerley, Kansas State ’78 and Franklin were presented with Distinguished Service Awards on behalf of the chapter to recognize their many contributions to DU. Edgerley also addressed the crowd of several hundred, citing the need for philanthropy and the value of a global outlook in today’s world.

Olympic athlete Christian Smith, Kansas State ’06 related his experiences from the 2008 games in Bejing and his plans to prepare for the upcoming Olympic Games in London. In all, the evening was joyous and inspirational.

!e many dignitaries, business executives and elected officials in attendance were a testament to the tradition of excellence the chapter has created over the past 55 years. !e foundation for continued success at Kansas State is very strong.

Fraternity. President of the Alumni Board, Donald Laird, Oregon State ’69, and Director Capital Improvements and Facility Management, Jeff Waymack, Oregon State ’71 made a call for specific actions to improve the physical structure of the chapter.

Dr. Will Keim, Pacific ’75, Corvallis resident and longtime Delta Upsilon supporter and former chapter advisor, spoke about the great improvement the Oregon State Chapter has made recently, where it is heading, and what members hope to achieve in the future. He called on every alumnus of Delta Upsilon to provide one or more of the following three things: time, talent or tithe. Each man present pledged to make a gift of time, talents, or monies to help today’s undergraduates live Delta Upsilon’s principles of character, friendship, liberal culture, and justice in the chapter, on the campus, in their nation, and around the world. “It was, as is every day,” said Dr. Keim, “a great day to be a DU!”

“DJ Cook, Matt Sheets, and the brothers had the house looking great with flowers, memorabilia from the last 90 years, and a really cool ice sculpture with the DU in greek letters somehow placed inside the ice in fraternity colors,” said

Keim. “Men from five decades reunited, met new friends, and shared their lives with each other. Many brothers brought their wives and some brought their children. It was the best of brotherhood.”

Jeff Waymack, Oregon State ‘71 was awarded Alumnus of the Year for all of his great efforts in restoring and renovating the physical structure of the house which he has planned and organized as a five year project.

!e event received a great deal of praise by those in attendance who ranged from the graduating classes of 1960 (Dick Bevens) to 2010 (Daniel Hauser). !e alumni there were excited to begin planning the 100th anniversary for 2022.

“It was truly great to see many alumni of different ages coming back to the house to meet up once again and share stories of their experience in Delta Upsilon,” said Sheets. !e event, which Sheets dubbed “amazing” would not have been possible without the hard work of Alumni Relations Chair DJ Cook, Oregon State ’15.

!e Northwestern Chapter of Delta Upsilon hosted a dedication ceremony at the chapter house to dedicate the Terry Venezia Memorial Scholarship Room on October 22, 2011.

Terence Joseph Wiley Venezia, Northwestern ’85, died suddenly on Oct. 25, 2009, of heart failure. Family and friends remember Terry as a man of integrity with strong moral character and unrelenting passion. He was a devoted father, a loving husband, a caring son and brother, a faithful friend, a respected attorney, an avid bicyclist and a generous humanitarian. He was valued by his family and friends as a very special and cherished man.

Venezia was born in Frankfurt, Germany and he grew up in Memphis, Tenn. and Homewood, Ill. He is an alumnus of Homewood-Flossmoor High School (1981) and Northwestern University (1985) where he was a member of championship track and cross-country teams. He received his law degree from the University of Michigan in 1988 and was a partner at the Chicago Law firm of McDermott, Will and Emery until he left to become vice-president and general counsel for World Premier Investments of Irvine, Calif.

He is remembered for his undergraduate role with the chapter where he was a highly-respected leader instrumental in the re-building of the house after the chapter had been expelled from campus some years earlier. He was an extremely intelligent and thoughtful person who was always there with level-headed advice, as evidenced by him twice being elected to the DU judiciary board. To his friends and brothers who knew him best, though, Terry was simply a great friend, one whose memory will never fade.

!e room dedicated in Terry’s name is a way of honoring his memory and sending a message to future generations of DU brothers that the qualities Terry exhibited, both during his years as a Northwestern student as well as in his life thereafter, are to be held as an example of what each brother should aspire to — character, compassion, scholarship, fitness and fraternity, all qualities that Terry possessed and exhibited on a daily basis.

!is project came out of a natural alignment of a desire to honor Terry and a stated need by the undergraduate DU brothers for a clean, quiet, comfortable environment in which to focus on their studies. !e idea of a scholarship room arose as a fitting tribute to a brother who epitomized the scholar-athlete. Dedicated in his honor, the room may serve as an inspiration for current and future generations of DU brethren to experience a life as rich and meaningful as that lived by our brother, Terry Venezia.

!is project would not have been possible without the full support of Terry’s family. Members of the Northwestern Chapter expressed their heartfelt appreciation to Terry’s father, Dr. Antonio Venezia, for his direct involvement in the project, as well as his communication of the proposal to other family members to obtain their support for the project as it was originally conceived. !ey also thanked Terry’s wife, Renee, for her blessing of this project, and communicated to Terry’s children, Jason, Jillian and Mallory, that their father was and continues to be an inspiration to his many friends and brothers for the admirable, exemplary qualities he displayed in a life filled with passion, purpose and meaning.

A final thank you was made to Brother Jon Hansen, Northwestern ’88, Brother Mike Whetstone, Northwestern ’87 and Chapter Advisor Colin Finn, Iowa State ’05 for their tireless efforts to make the dedication possible.

What is Possible? Alumnus Seeks to End Poverty

Mark Bergel, Northwestern ’85 seeks nothing less than ending poverty. !e fact that those around him who are working to end poverty often tell him that he is naïve or crazy for thinking they can ever completely end poverty, he says, demonstrates the enormity of the task.

“When somebody tells you that something is not realistic, all that means is that they can’t see it; it doesn’t mean that others can’t,” said Bergel. “I think that’s a way to, perhaps, rationalize why a particular solution is not working. For people in poverty, there is no question that we have to end it.”

In 2001 Bergel founded A Wider Circle™, which has been named “one of the finest small charities Greater Washington has to offer” by the Catalogue for Philanthropy. !e organization received the Washington Area Women’s Foundation Leadership Award and Bergel has been honored with the Greater DC Cares Essence of Leadership Award, the Community Foundation for National Capital Region’s Linowes Leadership Award and the Andrea Jolly President’s Award from the Montgomery County Corporate Volunteer Council. In 2010, Bergel was also chosen as one of People Magazine and Major League Baseball’s “All-Stars Among Us.”

!e mission of A Wider Circle™ is simple: to help children and adults lift themselves out of poverty. Each day, A Wider Circle provides basic need items to families transitioning out of shelters or simply living without life’s necessities. !e organization furnishes homes for more than 1,000 children and adults every single month, all free of charge. !ey also go into low-income schools and shelters to lead educational workshops on topics ranging from healthy self-esteem and stress management to resume writing and financial planning.

In addition to all of the individuals and families that call on A Wider Circle, more than 280 social service agencies regularly contact them for help in serving their clients.

“We’ve served more than 80,000 people since we started. Included in that is more than 10,000 homes we’ve furnished that had nothing in them and now have everything that someone would need to have a more stable, comfortable and dignified daily life,” said Bergel.

Numbers released by the census bureau in 2010 show the poverty level in the United Stats at the highest level since 1993. !at poverty level — defined as an income of less than $22,314 per year — leaves more than 46 million Americans in poverty.

According to Bergel, if you qualify as being in poverty today then you’re really in deep poverty because that number is based on an outdated formula from the 1960s.

“!e movement to end poverty is especially dear to me” he says, “because I know how many lives are lost to poverty every day. I know that low-income neighborhoods are often war

zones at night. For people who are born and raised in poverty, it’s a miracle if they can get to adulthood without having been a victim of some form of abuse or crime and they find that the easiest thing to do is repeat that cycle themselves.”

Having passed the 10-year anniversary of the founding of A Wider Circle, Bergel emphasized his long-term commitment.

“I feel like we’ve done some good things. At the same time I feel like we ought to be able to make even more progress toward the end of poverty, so I’m doubly committed that by the time we hit 20 there will be significant reduction to poverty. I’m in it with everything I’ve got; I’ll die trying.”

Bergel’s high level of energy and enthusiasm are combined with considerable knowledge and experience in the field. Prior to founding A Wider Circle in 2001, Mark spent 15 years managing health and wellness initiatives and serving as a part-time faculty member at American University. He is a nationally acclaimed speaker in the fields of poverty, health, and social connection and has been featured on national television and radio programs.

His steadfast commitment leaves little doubt that he personifies Delta Upsilon’s Four Founding Principles: the Promotion of Friendship, the Diffusion of Liberal Culture, the Development of Character and the Advancement of Justice.

Bergel joined Delta Upsilon as an undergraduate at Northwestern University where he was surrounded by high-achieving people. “I learned more from the people with whom I lived there than any other time in my life. !is shaped my views and helped me grow.” Both of his parents were college-educated, and he says they made it clear that there was no other path but college. Today, on a daily basis Bergel interacts with individuals who, if they graduate from high school it will be a miracle and grade school is often the biggest graduation celebration they have. “So, I better use what I’ve been given,” he said, “to be sure that everybody I know and everybody I meet gets the opportunity that I had.”

For today’s undergraduates, Bergel advises staying fixed on ideals and following the instinct that tells you to serve. He reminds the next generation to be grateful for all they have been given and encourages young people act on their instinct to use their talents to serve others rather than working only for individual financial comfort.

He also urges alumni to get involved in their communities by really rolling up their sleeves. “Try not to get involved tangentially or just on a particular day, a month or a couple days a year,” he said. “Really get involved, because most of the alumni with whom I’m still in contact are extremely successful and talented. If they find their way to commit, not contribute, but commit, then I guarantee that hundreds of thousands of lives could be changed. If you’re going to be on a board, do something beyond just going to a board meeting. Really get involved and give of yourself financially: give time,

stuff and money. Do it all. !e paradox is that the more you give, without a doubt, the more you get back. People need us. We always benefit from giving.”

Bergel emphasizes the need for more individuals to be involved in the fight to end poverty. “!e number of people in poverty has grown significantly and in the next decade we have to reverse that. We have to reduce it. !ere is so much talent in our country. I think of all the people in DU: really successful doctors, lawyers, business leaders, community leaders… you could tell when you were there that they were going to be successful wherever they went. If just the fraternity guys committed to this, it’s not just thousands of lives, it’s hundreds of thousands of lives that would change.”

His vision to end poverty by connecting those with the ability to help with those who need help is making a dramatic impact, but there is much more to do.

“Our creed is ‘what is possible,’” Bergel said, “and not as a question, but a statement to create what is possible. We ended slavery. We have women’s suffrage. We had the Civil Rights movement, we can end poverty and everything I’ve ever learned has pointed me in that direction.”

Dr. Mark Bergel will be recognized with the Gus White Award for Civic Engagement & Service at Delta Upsilon’s 2012 Leadership Institute in Chicago. !is award was established in 2009 to honor Augustus (Gus) White III, M.D., Ph.D., Brown, ’57 and is presented to a member of Delta Upsilon, or a fraternal partner, who has made significant contributions at the local, national, or global community level. !is individual or organization has committed to giving back through community service e"orts, civic engagement, or global service initiatives. !e recipient should be inclusive with their work and committed to working with diverse populations. His or her e"orts should be a major component of their life and have a sustainable impact on society. Like Brother White, the individual will embody the Advancement of Justice.

FACILITATOR COMMENTS: It is important for undergraduates

to have access to a program like RLS. RLS provides opportunities for every leader within the chapter. Whether a member is new to leadership or has already held a position, he has the option at RLS to choose the sessions that will best serve him and his chapters. RLS is fundamental to DU’s mission of Building Better Men as it provides training across the spectrum for any type of student. In addition, RLS facilitates a conversation about the larger entity that is Delta Upsilon. Brothers have the chance, at RLS, to grow their personal network of resources by collaborating and connecting with brothers from other chapters.

Province Governor for Province 6, Matthew Nance, DePauw ’10

RLS is a great opportunity for alumni to plug in and see the vitality of our undergraduate body. By simply attending the RLS banquet, alumni can see the great work our chapters are doing and be reminded of the brotherhood that they hold so dear.

!e greatest benefit for those who attended RLS was getting more detailed information about the state of the Fraternity, more information, publicity, and awareness of the Global Service Initiative, and the opportunity to develop relationships with brothers across chapter borders.  

Of course, the facilitation team was incredible and the students were both challenged and supported by the curriculum and the team.  I felt a strong sense of commitment and dedication from the students during the closing ceremony, and I look forward to seeing the long-term benefits of our efforts.

Province Governor for Province 4 South, Josh Katz, Central Florida ‘97

PARTICIPANT COMMENTS:

“[I learned]ways to identify the core problems in the chapter and understanding that fixing these problems does not necessarily fix where these problems came from.”

“ Fantastic weekend. Much better than I expected.”

“Way better programming than in the past. Maybe incorporate a community service for all the brothers in the morning.”

“ So much better than past RLS’s. !is is my fourth, I’ve been to San Jose and Pacific. !e vibe and the participation was much better.”

“ !anks so much for taking the time to make these substantive and meaningful. You all have done a great job recreating an LI experience on a smaller, more regional level.”

!e new format of Regional Leadership Seminars (RLS) extended direct training to 314 undergraduates at five different locations across the county in the spring of 2012. Programming focused on preparing Delta Upsilon leaders through sessions that focused on the core competencies for chapter officers. Each RLS included a Saturday evening networking reception with area alumni and a keynote address from a prominent alumnus.

Santos On Time CoverIn late April, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos, Kansas ’73 appeared on

the cover of the international edition of TIME Magazine. !e accompanying article “Colombia Rising” focuses on Santos’ work to transform Colombia from the home of drug traffickers, Marxist guerrillas and broken government to one of the region’s most vibrant players. !e following week, TIME recognized Santos again in the annual edition of “!e 100 Most Influential People in the World.”

Santos won Colombia’s presidential election in 2010 and was sworn in on August 7 in Bogota. He served three years as defense minister to outgoing President Alvaro Uribe. As defense minister, Santos played a role in the 2008 rescue mission that freed Ingrid Betancourt, a former Colombian presidential candidate who was held captive by FARC, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, a Marxist rebel group. He graduated from the University of Kansas in 1973 with degrees in business and economics and after graduation he studied at Harvard University and the London School of Economics.

Santos is following the footsteps of his great uncle, who was president from 1938 to 1942. !e outgoing vice president, Francisco Santos, is his cousin who also studied at the University of Kansas. !e Santos family founded El Tiempo, Colombia’s most influential newspaper, where Santos worked as an editor before serving as foreign trade and treasury minister in previous administrations.

Time Cover Collection Grows

Santos is far from the first Delta Upsilon man to appear on the cover of TIME Magazine. Charles Evans Hughes, Colgate & Brown 1881 graced the cover of the December 29, 1924 issue and TIME magazine has portrayed members of DU a few dozen times since the magazine was first published in 1923.

On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of TIME Magazine in 1973, the publishers reproduced all of the covers of the magazine since the first issue in a special presentation collection. A copy of the collection was secured and read against the Delta Upsilon alumni rolls.

From this research evolved the list of Delta Upsilon alumni of accomplishment and distinction who had been honored on the cover of the magazine.

Following detailed research, Brother Hedley Donovan, Minnesota ’34, then editor-in-chief of Time-Life, Inc., kindly consented to permit their archives section to make actual photographic reproductions of the original covers from the magazine files.

!e collection, which may be viewed by visitors to Delta Upsilon’s Butler Memorial Headquarters Building in Indianapolis, is the first one of its kind assembled by a college fraternity.

Since the debut of the collection DU has added covers featuring Peter Ueberroth, San Jose ’59 (1983 and 1985), Michael Eisner, Denison ’64 (1988) and General Tommy Franks, Texas ’67 (2003).

ArlingtonJimmy Ball, Arlington

’90, wrapped up a two-year term as president of the Dallas Fort Worth chapter of the AIGA, the professional association for design. He helped re-invigorate the chapter through rebuilding the board and bringing top local, regional and national speakers in for chapter events. Highlights include growing membership from 100 members to 260, helping start four student groups — including a student group at UTA — organizing and presenting the DFW area’s first ever design week. In the role of president he was also the community liaison, being involved with the DFW Marketing Presidents Organization board that planned and executed the inaugural Jingle Mingle Holiday Party — working with nine local marketing and creative organizations to raise $26,000 for the DreamFund, a regional charity that supports the creative community. He also received three 2011 American Graphic Design Awards from GD USA magazine. One for the YWCA Tarrant County Annual report, and two more for AIGA DFW projects: the golden ticket for the inaugural design week and

a trading card graphic for the summer leadership retreat. GD USA magazine has also named Jimmy Ball as one of their “People to watch in 2012,” joining a distinguished list of past recipients who include Milton Glaser, George Lois, Debbie Millman, and many other notable designers. More information is available at gdusa.com

In January, Jimmy Ball took on the position of Art Director/Sr. Producer with [x]cube LABS, one of the worlds top app development companies, with U.S. headquarters in Dallas, Texas. With his 22 years of creative and production experience this dual position was a perfect fit. He will be designing the User Interface and User Experience for Apple and Android mobile apps, as well as producing the projects for final delivery to the client or app store.

recognized at Kansas State’s 55th Founders’ Day. Kansas State Delta Upsilon Corporation President Frank York ’71 presented a photo of Smith in his Olympic uniform. !e photo will hang in the chapter’s study room. In what has been called one of the most dramatic races in U.S. Olympic Trials history, Christian Smith qualified for his first Olympic Games with a third-place finish in the men’s 800 meters in front of his home crowd at the 2008 Olympic Trials in Eugene, Ore. A native of Garfield, Kan., Smith dove across the finish line just ahead of 2004 Olympian Khadevis Robinson in grabbing the final men’s 800m roster spot for the Beijing Olympics in posting a time of 1:45:47. “Usually people tend to move out to protect their outside lane, so I

knew I might be able to come through the inside. !e whole race I ran from the inside. I saw Khadevis and I knew he was the guy I had to get. I just took the lean and dove. I didn’t think a lean would be enough.” Smith’s performance at the Trials bettered the Olympic “A” qualifying standard of 1:46.00, which he needed to accomplish, along with finishing in the top three of the final, to qualify for the U.S. Olympic Team. Smith’s stellar accomplishment followed a burst appendix in 2007, and a series of injuries during his 2008 indoor campaign. At Kansas State, Smith was the NCAA champion in the men’s mile at the 2006 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships, and was also a 1,500m All-American in 2006, a four-time Indoor All-American (in 2003, 2004, 2005, & 2006), collegiate record holder in the indoor 1000m, and he also set the indoor 1000m, outdoor 800m and 1500m school records while at Kansas State.

McGillMcGill alumni mourn the loss of Brother Johan Draper,

McGill ’51 who passed away in Toronto on March 26. Brother Draper was one of the best-known, most involved, and highly-regarded members of the McGill Chapter of Delta Upsilon Fraternity. As an undergraduate, and afterwards as an alumnus and a member of the alumni executive board, he was an advocate, a catalyst for action and a resource to any and all who wanted to be involved and support their brotherhood. Alumni recall him as a mentor, a chaperone and one of the strongest advocates of the Fraternity. His dedication saw the McGill Chapter through some very rough times, and though he was tough and demanding, his pride in the efforts and successes of Delta Upsilon was always made clear.

MiamiCraig Heimbuch, Miami ’00 is set to publish his second

book, a non-fiction tale of his year taking on family traditions and transitioning into manhood called “And Now We Shall Do Manly !ings,” with the William Morrow imprint of Harper Collins this fall. Heimbuch’s first book, “Chasing Oliver Hazard Perry” (Clerisy, 2010) was awarded best non-fiction of 2010 by the Great Lakes Booksellers Association and told the story of his time spent immersing himself in the history of Lake Erie and the War of 1812. He is the Senior Editor at Barefoot Proximity, a Cincinnati interactive agency, and is married to his high school sweetheart, Rebecca. Together they have three children.

PurdueDr. Tony Dillon, Purdue ’84 was featured in a community

newspaper where he talks about his Lake Bluff, Illinois veterinary business. !e Lake Forester reports that Dillon earned a molecular biology degree and his doctorate in Veterinarian medicine at Purdue where he was also appointed Visiting Instructor of Medical Physiology and taught veterinary biochemistry and worked in cytogenetic research. He purchased the Knollwood Animal Hospital a year after

arriving in 1992. Dillon recalls wanting to heal animals from a very young age and attributes his entrepreneurial spirit to examples set by his father and his undergraduate leadership experiences in Delta Upsilon.

San Diego StateSan Diego State alumni continue to engage in a mentoring

program which pairs individual alumni with chapter officers, providing them support for the various challenges they encounter. !e program has been so successful that this year Mentorship Chair, John Little, San Diego State ’72, is encouraging all undergraduates to participate in the program. Furthermore, Chapter Advisor, Bruce Howard, San Diego State ’70, has assigned eleven alumni advisors to be a point-of-contact for chapter officers. Each program serves a specific purpose; alumni advisors assist the officers with executive duties while mentors act as role models, emphasizing character development, leadership growth and academic excellence. Participants in both programs report that the partnerships are exceptionally rewarding. Alumni are expanding their career and job placement program that matches graduating seniors with alumni in similar fields. Assistance is not only available to undergraduates, but to other alumni seeking new jobs as well. !e program is just one of several intended to help DU men with their careers.

WashingtonWashington alumni have been busy improving the chapter

house and recruiting advisors for the chapter. In the fall they installed a new roof and gutters, new doors to the study/sleeping rooms, and totally redecorated the main floor formal room, dining room and library. !e Advisory Board is fully functioning now and each chapter officer has an advisor. !ey also recruited a faculty advisor who is a Washington alumnus.
