2 Q&S
AT THIS YEAR’S Williams Leadership Academy and
National Convention, I had the dubious distinction of
throwing out one of the ceremonial first pitches during
our alumni event with the Toledo Mud Hens. There
was no pressure, just a crowd of KDRs in center field
waiting to taunt me if the ball ended up in the dirt and
the fact that all but one of the other ceremonial first pitchers was under the age
of 12. I am happy say that I kept it out of the dirt and, despite the speculation
of those in center field, the Mud Hens catcher told me it was strike!
The alumni event with the Toledo Mud Hens was just part of that annual
celebration of Kappa Delta Rho that is the William’s Leadership Academy and
National Convention. Those of you who have read my post convention column
in the past know how much I love this time of year. The best part for me is
always the opportunity to interact with our undergraduate members. I’m not
going to play spoiler here and tell you who won which awards and scholarships. But I will say this: there are some exceptional young Brothers in our
Fraternity!
Over the last couple of years, the National Fraternity has worked very
hard to develop a strong national identity rooted in the values of the Fraternity
as expressed in our open motto Honor Super Omnia…Honor Above All
Things. To that end, The Precepts of Kappa Delta Rho was introduced, the
KDR Wilderness Institute began, a new national website was launched, The
Path total membership development program rolled out, the Kappa Delta Rho
Foundation unveiled the Centennial Recognition Program and the Fraternity
will be partnering with GreekLifeEdu to provide our undergraduate members
with wellness education. All of these initiatives have one goal in mind—
strengthening Kappa Delta Rho by improving the quality of the “KDR experience” for all of our Brothers.
The Pathfinder has long proclaimed “KAPPA DELTA RHO IS FOR
LIFE,” yet many of our alumni say, “I used to be a KDR.” In order for the
Fraternity to continue making progress, more alumni support and involvement
is needed. Our executive director, Joseph Rosenberg, is in the process of
expanding regional volunteer opportunities through our Regional Senator
Program, the National Board of Directors is always in need of alumni who
would like to help out on committees, and chapters are always in need of
alumni to serve on advisory boards or alumni corporations. Programs like the
KDR Wilderness Institute and Williams Leadership Academy are made possible through the financial support of the Kappa Delta Rho Foundation.
However, the number of contributors to the Annual Fund has decreased by 252
donors over the last three years. I know that peoples’ lives are busy and I know
that we have moved into some very difficult economic times, but Kappa Delta
Rho is worth the investment of your time, talent, and treasure.
An investment in Kappa Delta Rho is an investment in our undergraduate
members, men like Nate Sexton and Mat Taylor of the Epsilon Chapter at
Franklin College. As you will read later in this issue these young men put their
lives in harms way to help rescue people from the flooding that occurred in the
Midwest this past June. It is the actions of Brothers like Nate, Mat, and countless other undergraduates who incorporate the spirit of Honor Super Omnia in
their daily lives and strive to place Honor Above All Things that give me an
indescribable return on the time, talent, and treasure I have invested in Kappa
Delta Rho. If you already invest your time, talent, or treasure in Kappa Delta
Rho, I thank you and hope that we can continue to rely on your loyal support.
If you don’t, I hope you will consider how you could best support Kappa Delta
Rho within your personal circumstances and get involved accordingly.
Fraternally,

KDR LEADERSHIP ON CAMPUS
by Joseph S. Rosenberg, Executive Director
NORMALLY, THIS IS WHERE you would find the executive
director’s letter to the membership. I decided to make a change
and use the space dedicated to my thoughts to highlight some
of our amazing undergraduate leadership around our campuses.
These young Brothers and their accomplishments tell the story
of Kappa Delta Rho and why we should be involved financially
or volunteering time and talents. It also speaks volumes on the
new generation of Kappa Delta Rho Gentlemen we are recruiting into our Fraternity.
In the first installment, you will earn about four exceptional leaders on campus within Kappa Delta Rho. They are
Brother Aaron Shane Henry, Zeta Beta ’09; Brother Greg
Siefert, Pi Alpha ’09; Brother Remy Sonyi, Eta ’09; and
Brother Christopher Lang, Alpha Beta ’09.
today as the 10th student body president from the Zeta Beta
Chapter of Kappa Delta Rho.” The hard work and high expectations set for me as a freshman in this Fraternity prepared me
for the day that I would stand in front of thousands of my peers
and tell them that I am ready to represent them. KDR is a
Brotherhood, a family, a Fraternity but she is more than that to
me. She is the expectation to do my very best and to never settle for the minimum.”
According to Brother Henry the awards, honors, and
organizations he was so lucky to represent would not be possible without Kappa Delta Rho and the Brothers of Zeta Beta
Chapter. They are the inspiration and drive that keeps him
working towards excellence. “I have received more that I could
ever imagine from my Fraternity and my university,” he says
proudly.
SHANE HENRY
A
s a freshman, when Brother Aaron Shane Henry, Zeta
Beta ’09, made the decision to rush Kappa Delta Rho, he
was simply searching for a group of men to fit in with. He was
unaware that in three years this group of men would play such
a significant role in his college life at Tarleton State University.
As a new member he was instructed that he had to be involved
in a minimum of two other organizations but that a great KDR
never settled for the minimum. He wanted to exceed those
expectations and became involved and established himself as a
leader not only in the Fraternity but also on campus. Brother
Henry got involved in the typical freshmen organizations such
as Freshman Representative Council, Student Programming
Association, Texas Independence Celebration Committee,
Texan Reps, and many other unique Tarleton organizations.
Shane has taken the Fraternity’s challenge not to settle
with doing the minimum and stretched it into every aspect of
his college life, striving each day to live an honorable life
while placing Honor Before all Things. Throughout his time at
Tarleton he has been recognized as a distinguished student
each academic semester, Freshman Representative of the Year,
Outstanding Sophomore Participant of the year, Texan Rider
(The University Mascot), W.O. and Flo Trogdon Individual
Service Award Recipient, Mr. TSU, inducted into Omicron
Delta Kappa leadership society and currently serving as student
body president.
When asked about becoming student body president earlier this year and what it means Shane replied, “student body
president has been an amazing accomplishment for both me
and my chapter. Without their continued support and added
campaign efforts I’m not sure that I would be sitting in office
CHRIS LANG
C
hris Lang, Alpha Beta ’09, is a busy Brother in more ways
than one. He is involved on campus and in his community.
Sure, it is easy to impress someone when you tell them that
you are a triple major in political science, economics, and
finance and that you maintain a strong 3.5 GPA. Add on the
fact that he has received numerous honors including the
University of Delaware Scholar Award, Legislative Essay
Scholarship, and Global Scholars Award and you might think
that he would be satisfied. The fact is, however, he is not content with his current achievements and continually strives to
produce more accolades for himself.
Brother Lang currently serves on the Student Government
Association as the city relations chair; trying to promote student influence and interest throughout the community. He also
serves as a college advisor for Youth in Government and as a
Model United Nations advisor. Currently, Chris serves as the
vice president of external affairs on the Interfraternity Council.
This summer he was the recipient of a James R. Soles
Fellowship, working in Washington, D.C., for Senator Carper
of Delaware. While in Washington, Brother Lang became
involved with ServiceNation, an American unity coalition that
tackles social challenges and gives back to the community and
country. It was through this organization that he submitted a
question to be asked of Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John
McCain in the ServiceNation Presidential Candidates Forum
held September 11, 2008 at Columbia University in New York
City. Brother Lang’s question was, “What kind of initiatives
will you propose in your first few months as a president to help

instill the values of service and leadership within the citizens
of the United States of America?” His question was selected
from numerous other entries and Chris was invited to attend
the forum, which he did.
Today, Chris continues to make a name for himself and
remains involved with all of these highly demanding organizations. Surprisingly enough, he is still able to maintain a
healthy work ethic and be a dedicated friend, mentor, and loyal
Brother of Kappa Delta Rho.
REMI SONI
R
emy Soni, Eta ’09, is a junior attending the University of
Illinois and is currently serving as an undergraduate on the
Board of Directors for the National Fraternity. When joining the
chapter he wanted to be as involved as possible within the Eta
Chapter. He has been actively involved in Rush, Social, and
Philanthropy committees. During the past academic year he has
served as senior tribune and worked hard to incorporate dynamic recruitment strategies into the recruitment efforts of the chapter. His experience as senior tribune assisted his development as
a leader, not only in KDR, but on a personal level.
On campus, Remy serves as the vice president of membership development for the Interfraternity Council. Being a part
of the executive board for the nation’s largest Greek system has
been a terrific experience and a great opportunity to network
and build helpful connections. It has also allowed him to represent KDR positively and show other fraternities and sororities
exactly what in means to be KDR Gentleman and leader.
According to Brother Soni his undergraduate experience at
the University of Illinois would not be complete without Kappa
Delta Rho. Not only has the Fraternity brought him leadership
opportunities and personal growth, but has provided the opportunity to allow him to share his gifts with others on the campus as
well. It is from these experiences that Remy believes that his commitment to KDR extends beyond the four years on campus and
that he will have a great deal to contribute even after graduation.
GREG SEIFERT
calling and he changed his major to history with a minor in
political science. In his freshman year he joined Pi Alpha
Chapter and held many leadership positions including scholarship chair, fundraising chair, treasurer, and secretary. Greg also
became a tour guide for the university and was promoted to tour
guide coordinator, served as treasurer for the Inter-Fraternity
Council, was a member of Habitat for Humanity, Mortar Board,
Student Alumni Association, and served on the Homecoming
Commission. Beginning in spring 2006, Greg joined student
government as a student senator and has been involved ever
since. In April 2008, Greg was elected as the student government president with more than 76 percent of the vote.
When asked how Kappa Delta Rho influenced his development as a leader Greg stated, “I feel that my time in Kappa
Delta Rho has developed me into the leader I am today. I held
many leadership positions and was fortunate enough to be
selected to attend the Kappa Delta Rho Wilderness Institute
Pilot Program in summer 2007. I really feel like that experience has changed my life.”
Greg thanks his Brothers for all of their support throughout not just his campaign, but also for their love and support
through his college career. He says, “My Brothers have been
by my side since I pledged in fall of 2005. I’ve had many
hardships throughout my collegiate experience; my grades suffered at first, my father passed away, but my Brothers continually lifted me up and put me into the position I am today.”
During his tenure as student government president, Greg
hopes to promote school pride and spirit by educating students
on the traditions and history of the university; assist with university administration, faculty, staff, and students in creating
student-centered policies; and enhance the community by
working with the City of Toledo, neighborhood organizations,
and the university family to be caring and understanding of
everyones needs and expectations.
“If it weren’t for Pi Alpha, I would not be at the University
of Toledo and ultimately never would have learned the leadership skills required to hold this or any other high-ranking position.” Although he truly enjoys his new position, Greg appreciates being a KDR Brother more than anything.
Greg is still undecided on what he wants to do after graduation. But regardless of what he does after he leaves this position, Greg will always be a Kappa Delta Rho Gentleman. “My
best times in KDR will always be the Wilderness Institute or
just enjoying the company of my Brothers in my chapter and
across the country. I bleed Princeton Orange and Middlebury
Blue and also some Toledo blue and gold. But Honor Super
Omnia will be a slogan that I will live with forever.”

AS YOU CAN SEE, the banners of our Fraternity are being
held high by these Brothers and many others just like them on
our college campuses today. It is the hard work of these
unique Brothers and the Brothers you will learn about in this

the Epsilon Fund
IT SEEMS ALMOST DAILY that we hear of disaster from all
over the United States and abroad. Though our hearts go out to
those struck by disaster, we always feel fortunate that we or
our loved ones were not affected. As many of you are probably
aware, Central Indiana saw record flooding and was hit particularly hard by the June flood. The Epsilon Chapter house was
one of the thousands of homes damaged by the flooding.
A Heroic Effort
by Brian Graham, Epsilon ’04
IN EARLY JUNE, Franklin, Indiana, and surrounding areas were
hit by several storms and torrential downpours. By noon on
Saturday, June 7, the streets were beginning to flood, including the
chapter house basement. A couple of hours later, two Epsilon
Brothers, Nate Sexton and Mat Taylor, became aware neighboring
residents were stranded in their homes as flood water from
Hurricane Creek continued to rise.
With the assistance of some neighbors, the men used Brother
Travis Urban’s canoe, which was being stored at the house, to rescue several individuals. The men walked the canoe through chestdeep water to homes, loaded up people and took them to dry land
on the Franklin College campus. The college opened up the
Johnson-Dietz residence hall for community members who
needed a place to stay. Around 4:00 p.m. they made one
last rescue attempt through the flood water.
“After the first trip, I felt a sense of obligation
to these people…there was no stopping until
everyone (who was willing) was safe and dry,”
said Taylor.
The depth of the water on their last mission
neared six feet in some areas and had a very strong
current. At one point they lost traction, but luckily found
a fence under the water that they were able to use to push off
and gain momentum. “If we didn’t find the fence, we might have
lost the canoe,” said Sexton.
Ironically enough, Sexton and Brother Pat Yokovich flipped
that very canoe a few weeks before during a canoeing trip.
When asked how he felt after that last trip through the flood
water Sexton revealed that he was, “relieved more than anything—
just thankful; we were pretty lucky.”
During such a challenging time for the Franklin community,
these men showed determination and genuine care for people at a
time when it was needed most. In total, the Brothers helped rescue
11 people, including three children, one with leukemia. As
Gentlemen of Kappa Delta Rho, we should be proud of their
efforts.
The waters from Hurricane Creek in Franklin, Indiana,
swelled far outside its banks and crested on the first step of the
Epsilon Chapter house two blocks away. While it could have
been much worse, the house suffered extensive damage with
more than six feet of water filling the basement. Brothers are
still assessing the full costs of the flood, but they know that the
water damage to the water heaters and furnace alone will cost
several thousand dollars to repair or replace.
Despite the setback, the men of Epsilon Chapter rose to
the challenge. Even while the waters rose, the Brothers showed
themselves to be honorable young men placing the safety of
others ahead of their own. Using a canoe a Brother had stored
in the basement, they rescued 11 people the day of the flood,
including infants, a child with leukemia, and a lady who suffered a panic attack. These men of honor and courage were
lead most notably by Nate Sexton and Matt Taylor, who waded
through fast moving flood currents with water up to their
chests in places to rescue their neighbors. Tough times bring
out the best in KDR men.
The Epsilon Chapter alumni have inquired into loans from
the National Fraternity, from Franklin College, and assistance
from FEMA to cover the damages. In an effort to assist our
Brothers overcome the setback from this natural disaster the
National Fraternity has established the Epsilon
Natural Disaster Fund with the intent to help
the chapter repair the damages to the
house. Any funds left over will
remain in the fund to help other
chapters who may find themselves
in a similar situation due to a natural disaster. We understand the current economic climate is not the
greatest but we hope you would consider making a five or ten dollar donation
to the Epsilon Fund. This donation would be
given directly to the National Fraternity and would not be tax
exempt but 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the Epsilon
Chapter or chapters in the future that find themselves in a similar situation.
If you would like to donate to the Epsilon Fund please
send a check or money order to the National Office at 331
South Main Street, Greensburg, PA 15601. You also can call
Suzanne McFarland, office manager at (800) 536-5371, ext.

Recruiting a New Class
of KDR Gentlemen
by Johannes Sactotum
ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2008, Kappa Delta Rho unveiled a new
thematic expansion and recruitment program. Complete with
newspaper ads, handbills, Facebook groups, t-shirt designs,
street teams, and mentor chapters, it includes adding a new
educational leadership consultant position to the staff dedicated
to expansion and recruitment. These new and revised tools
will communicate the same message: Recruiting a New Class
of KDR Gentlemen.
The genesis of this program began with several meetings of
the national Expansion Committee at the home of Craig
Gordon, Pi Alpha ’87. This five-year plan calls for recolonization of old chapters and expansion to new campuses within our
geographical footprint. The approach is quite simple and
regional in nature. We have formed and designated mentor
chapters to assist in recruiting students and establishing chapters
at targeted universities and colleges. Already, we are beginning
to see the success of this plan. A group of men at Temple
University was recruited by Craig Dunkle, Eta Beta ’07, who
transferred to Temple from West Chester University. Although
in the early stages, we hope to have an official Group of Intent
on the campus by the end of spring 2009. Brother Stephen
Brim, Zeta Beta ’07, transferred from Tarleton State University
to the University of Texas at Arlington and is beginning to form
a group on that campus as well.
As you can imagine, with such an intense effort on expansion there will be a significant opportunity for education on
KDR’s values and policies. Jeff Howard, Tau Beta ’97, and
vice president for education, along with the Education
Committee, have been hard at work providing the tools and
resources for these new KDR Gentlemen. This semester, KDR
rolled out The Path, our new member education program. It is
PowerPoint based and was developed and geared for the learning styles of today’s students. The Pathfinder is used as a companion to the new program. In addition to The Path, the
National Fraternity signed a contract with Outside the
Classroom to provide the educational program GreekLifeEdu
to our Brotherhood. KDR is one of very few fraternal organizations providing this cutting-edge program to her members.
GreekLifeEdu will provide our undergraduate Brothers
nonopinionated, science-based content in an easily accessible,
online format. It contains surveys, knowledge tests, and interactive exercises, which will create a highly engaging experience for our Brothers. The course features real-life student success stories that encourage participants to adopt positive behaviors and build self-efficacy, scenarios to help Brothers practice
and reinforce these new behaviors and to develop appropriate
responses on what they would do or how they would handle a
situation. Additionally, the program will reinforce KDR specific resources, such as policies, procedures, and key staff contacts to our undergraduate membership.
Currently, we have three mentor chapters in operation and

97th National Convention Was a
GRANDSLAM!
FROM AUGUST 7 TO AUGUST 10, 2008, the National
Fraternity of Kappa Delta Rho held its 97th National
Convention and Elmon M. Williams Leadership Academy in
Toledo, Ohio. The theme for this year’s convention and leadership academy was “Swinging for the Future” and it could
not have been more appropriate. At the National Convention
we unveiled the new education program The Path for our
new members, the establishment of an alumni track of educational programs at the leadership academy, the establishment of a new national award, The Red Rose Award, the
newly improved National Fraternity website and inducted
into our Brotherhood an Honorary Brother who epitomizes
Honor Super Omnia on the gridiron and in society.
The Elmon M. Williams Leadership Academy was a hit.
We had more than 105 undergraduate Brothers with 22 of
them being consuls of chapters stepping up to bat in Toledo
to gain and improve their knowledge base in order to
improve themselves and their chapters. Calling the ball and
strikes and facilitating the program for the National
Fraternity this year were Scott Bradley, Zeta Beta ’99;
Matthew Lenno, Alpha Beta ’95; Peter Tartaro, Lambda
Beta ’00; Matthew Tessier, Omega Alpha ’93; Joseph Rees,
Nu ’01; and Jonathan Boyle, Phi Beta ’06. The academy
curriculum was developed upon the concepts found in the
leadership book “The Radical Leap” by Steve Farber.

Before coming to Toledo, every academy participant
was mailed a copy of the book to read. In an effort to promote stronger relationships within our various conclave
areas, the undergraduates were placed into four dynamic
leadership regional teams led by a facilitator. During the
academy they room, learn, and eat together with Brothers
from their conclave area. In addition to these changes within the confines of our academy stadium we added an alumni
track with programs presented by nationally known speakers
in areas of risk management, financial management, house
management, communication, and advising college students.
We are looking forward to continuing this format next year
in Roanoke, Virginia, at the 98th National Convention and
Elmon M. Williams Leadership Academy from August 6 to
August 9, 2009.

8 Q&S
Like the Philadelphia Phillies, the National Fraternity of
Kappa Delta Rho at the National Convention underwent an
appearance change and launched the new image of KDR on
the Internet. The Fraternity partnered with Amixa, LLC and
completely overhauled the look and the capabilities of our
website and the resources provided to our undergraduates
and alumni members. The appearance was changed to bring
back into focus our identity, which is one of Roman origins
but at the same time provide a modern look with the addition of a video welcome, news release section on the front
page, and most important, a Brother’s Only Section with
resources for undergraduates and alumni. Some of the items
coming to that section in the future are a discussion board,
google map indicating other Brothers who live in the same
zip code area and much, much more.
At the mid-year meeting of the National Board of
Directors, the leadership of the Fraternity voted on resurrecting the old sweetheart award that was given out years
ago to a National Sweetheart. The award was renamed The
Red Rose Award and was updated to fit a 21st century KDR.
The recipient could be either a man or a woman who is not
a Brother and who has significantly contributed to the
advancement of Kappa Delta Rho. The inaugural award
was given out this year at the Ordo Honoris Banquet to the
ultimate designated hitter of Kappa Delta Rho, Suzanne
McFarland who has served faithfully and tirelessly as the
office manager of Kappa Delta Rho for more than 25 years.
When presenting the award Executive Director Joseph
Rosenberg remarked “it is always comforting knowing no
matter how hard life was on campus as an undergraduate or
an alumnus there is a comforting fact that one could call
(800)-536- 5371, ext. 10, and hear the voice of our Kappa
Delta Rho mom.”
In coordination with the National Convention and the
25th Anniversary of the Pi Alpha Chapter, the Brothers initiated Chuck Ealey into our Brotherhood. Chuck is a 1971
graduate of the University of Toledo. Chuck, and his wife
Sherry, currently reside in Toronto where Chuck is a regional director for a financial services firm and is deeply
involved in the community. Here are some of the other
great accomplishments Chuck achieved at the University of
Toledo:
• Held the amateur football record for QB with the
most consecutive wins (18-0) in high school and
(35-0) in college for a combined record of (53-0).
• Was MVP of the Mid-American Conference for
three consecutive years and won three consecutive
Division IA bowl games.
• Finished 8th in the Heisman Trophy voting in 1972.
• Was selected First Team All-American by the
Football News, yet went undrafted by the NFL.
Despite going undrafted in the 1972 NFL draft, Chuck
demonstrated his undefeated spirit and left the United
States for Canada so that he could live the American dream
of playing professional football as a quarterback. In 1972
Chuck was named CFL Rookie of the Year and led the
Hamilton Tiger Cats to The Grey Cup Championship
where he was selected as the Grey Cup MVP.
Chuck exemplifies the kind of man Kappa Delta Rho
has attracted across the ages. Chuck has lived his life with
honor and integrity and continues to showcase his role
model characteristics as a successful businessman, philanthropist, father, grandfather, and devoted husband. At the
Ordo Honoris Banquet, Brother Ealey was introduced to
the Brotherhood in attendance by Brother Rick
Longenecker, Pi Alpha ’86, and presented with his
Brother plaque by National President Shawn Hoke, Phi
Alpha ’95.
As you can see, the 97th National Convention and
Elmon M. Williams Leadership Academy was truly a
great day at the ball park and the Brotherhood smacked a
grandslam and cleared the bases for another exciting year
within Kappa Delta Rho.

EXPANSION NEWS
MCDANIEL COLLEGE is the site of the newest expansion
effort. Thirteen Brothers comprise the Group of Intent (GOI).
Ten of these Brothers are from the original local chapter, Chi
Delta Upsilon, which had been in existence since 1988. The
band of Brothers decided to make the transition to a national
organization in order to have a more positive impact on campus
and to be able to be part of a larger organization. When the
group first began to form in 1988, they first chose Kappa Delta
Rho, but due to other factors they finally settled on Delta
Upsilon. This past spring, when debating what national fraternity to choose, Kappa Delta Rho was an obvious choice. After
looking into many options, the Brothers decided that Kappa
Delta Rho would best fit their group of Brothers.
The McDaniel GOI consul is junior Greg Boyd who is
majoring in communication with a minor in film. He is an avid
sports fan and plays football and lacrosse. The group on campus has a tradition of attracting a wide array of students, especially among the athletes of campus. Brothers are also involved
in EAC, the Honor Society, Student Government Association,
and the TV Club. Besides that, the average brother just enjoys
sports, parties, intelligent conversation, and girls. All of the
Brothers are a very close-knit group of friends, all of them living together in either facilities off campus or in residence halls
on campus. We look forward to completing The Path this
semester and begin preparing for first year recruitment during
the spring semester. Our goal is to gain Provisional Chapter status by February and be prepared to petition for our charter at the
National Convention in Roanoke on August 5, 2009. We look
forward to expanding our numbers and bringing more
Gentlemen into our close group of friends and into the
Brotherhood.
McDaniel has a well-established Greek community. There
are three sororities and five fraternities currently on campus.
With just over, 1600 undergraduate students on campus, more
than 12 percent are apart of Greek life. The Greek GPA is well
above the campus average, making fraternities and sororities life
a positive aspect of campus life.
We have a lot to do in order to reach the goals we set for
ourselves at the end of last school year, but we look forward to
the challenge. We believe that Kappa Delta Rho will really benefit McDaniel College because it will give students interested in
Greek life an option that is focused on the values of being a
Gentlemen and honor. We are confident that we can really do
some good and benefit not only the college, but the community
as well. We look forward to making some strong relationships
within Kappa Delta Rho from Brothers who live in our region.
At this time, the Brothers at McDaniel College are working
hard to recruit new members for future pledge classes. Brothers,
if you know of any men attending McDaniel College, please
direct them home to us. We would be happy to make room for
them in our growing chapter. We are also working on setting up
fundraising projects as well as community service projects and
plan to have them posted on the national website.

KAPPA DELTA RHO
Here’s to the boys of KDR
Lessons of pledgeship have taken us far.
We learned to take and learned to give
For such is the world in which we live.
Proud of our bond of Brotherhood,
Helping one another whenever we could.
We shared our fun as buddies doWhen one was cut – we bled some too.
Hitting the books and sharing a joke,
Full of hope but usually broke.
We never regretted the time we paid
For the knowledge gained and friendships made.
We graduated to chase our dream
Of power and wealth and self esteem;
Put our diploma up for hireOut of the skillet – into the fire.
We had our share of pride and pain;
Sometimes the rainbow –sometimes the rain.
Friends were lost along the way
But never the memories of yesterday.
Now we’re older and wiser, true
Reminiscing the things we used to do.
The years have flown but here we areStill Proud to be Brothers of KDR.

103 Things Every KDR Gentleman Should Know
by Jeffrey S. Howard, Vice President of Education
WHETHER OUR THOUSANDS OF ALUMNI realize it or
not, they are currently serving as a “Big Brother” to hundreds
of undergraduate KDR Brothers at any given time. How good
a job are you doing? When today’s KDR alumni Brothers
were in college, we stood on the shoulders of those who came
before us, and they on the shoulders of those who came before
them, back to Middlebury and our ten founding fathers.
Mentoring is about encouraging, developing, challenging,
and equipping our undergraduate Brothers for the future.
Although the opportunity for every KDR to come together is
nearly impossible, we are linked through our ritual and KDR
experience for life. Our newest Brothers can learn a great deal
from our alumni. Now alumni can “virtually mentor” undergraduate Brothers through wisdom, advice, tips, hints, and
shared experiences from the comfort of their own home. This
is your chance to give back to KDR and directly to our newest
and youngest members simply by sharing your thoughts and
advice.
In celebration of our first 103 years, we are asking for
your input on 103 Things Every KDR Gentleman Should
Know. Your responses may be light or serious, short or long;
the most important thing is that you share them. Here are
some suggested areas to help get you started.
• If you could go back and be an undergraduate for a day
what are some things you have learned or experienced
that would help you succeed and thrive the most in a
given situation?
• Quotes that inspire me/quotes
to live by.
• How you incorporate KDR
ritual into your daily life.
• What do you wish you had
known when you were an undergraduate?
• If given the opportunity to address the entire undergraduate Brotherhood, what would you want to say and
share?
• A book, movie, etc. that is not to be missed.
• Perhaps some KDR alumnus shared some advice or
experience with you that made a significant impact on
you and you would like to pass it along.
• The one dish you should be able to prepare.
• Interview tips you only learn from experience.
• Tips on dressing for success.
• Things every KDR should be able to do.
• Places every KDR should visit and why.
Information will be compiled and shared in a future edition of the Quill & Scroll and will be developed into a phase
for The Path. Share your thoughts by accessing an on-line submission tool via the KDR website now through December 31,
2008 and looking for the “103 Things” logo.
Wants you!
The National Fraternity of Kappa Delta Rho is looking
for the next generation of leadership consultants.

12 Q&S
From the Foundation President
Brothers,
Everything you read in the Quill & Scroll exemplifies
our Foundation’s tag line, “Investing in the lives of students.”
Together, we can have a profound impact on the educational
experience of our members. That impact can come in the
form of financial support through scholarships, life-changing
opportunities through programs like the Wilderness Institute,
or direct support and intervention by our highly dedicated
staff to support existing chapters and recolonize closed chapters.
KDR and we want that same experience
to be there for our children and grandchildren.
I hope you find the articles and information about the impact our Foundation
is having on our great Fraternity interesting and informative. There is so much more we could and
should be doing and, with your help, we will continue to
offer life-changing experiences to our members.
Each year I’m humbled and grateful to acknowledge the
hundreds of dedicated Brothers who have given back to
KDR. We each give for own reasons, but from the countless
conversations I’ve had with fellow Brothers, we all have one
thing in common…we got a lot out of our experience in
HERITAGE SOCIETY
The Heritage Society is Kappa Delta Rho’s recognition
society to acknowledge and thank those Brothers and friends
who have included the Kappa Delta Rho Foundation in their
estate plans. Planned giving is an important means by which
our Brothers and friends can plan for the future of our
Fraternity.
The easiest and least expensive way to include the
Foundation in your estate plans is to name the Foundation as
a beneficiary on a life insurance policy or a retirement
account or IRA. This kind of planned gift just requires you

to complete a change of beneficiary form. Another common
way to include the Foundation in your estate plans is to name
the Foundation as a beneficiary in your will or trust.
The language you or your advisor would need when
naming your beneficiary is “The Kappa Delta Rho
Foundation, located in Greensburg Pennsylvania, whose tax
ID number is 25-1449252.”

“I feel that my experiences in being a founding father of the Mu Alpha
chapter started me on a path that has lead to both personal happiness
and business success. ‘Honor Super Omnia,’ Honor Above All Things, is one
of my guiding principles and by including Kappa Delta Rho in my estate
plan, I hope to help instill this principle in future generations of Kappa

CENTENNIAL RECOGNITION PROGRAM
BROTHERS, we’re honored to have been asked by our fellow trustees to spearhead the most important committee and
project in the history of our Fraternity, the steering committee
for the Centennial Recognition (CRP) Campaign.
creating a competitive image or whether it’s the ability to recruit
and retain members with the support of the New Member
Academic Achievement Scholarship, these programs are directly impacting the success of each of our chapters!
We’re humbled to join Matt Leiphart, Iota ’92, who took an
early leadership role in getting us to where we are today, more
than half way to our goal of raising $2.5 million to endow and
expand our leadership programs and chapter support services.
The sum of $2.5 million is sufficient to assure annual income
to support the National Office and free National Staff from
having to spend time and energy on fundraising, allowing
them to focus exclusively on supporting the chapters, expanding the programs that educate undergraduates and provide
scholarships, and growing our Fraternity on campuses where
interest has been expressed to become a KDR chapter.
Let’s cut to the chase as well. Most of us have the strongest
tie to our chapters. That’s natural! When our chapters close or
are struggling we look to the National Fraternity to send staff
and volunteers to support or reopen our chapter. That takes
resources!
We have a big challenge in front of us. Over the next 16
months, countless volunteers and leaders will be fanning out to
contact classmates, pledge Brothers, and friends to share the
vision of the future of KDR the way it can be.
To succeed will take all of us. We hope you’re as excited as
we are when you look at the programs and opportunities outlined here in the Quill & Scroll. Programs like the Wilderness
Institute and the New Member Academic Achievement
Scholarship are a direct result of the progress we’ve made to
date.
These programs directly impact countless numbers of our
undergraduate Brothers each year. And, to many of you, most
importantly, they impact your chapter. Whether it’s branding and

14 Q&S
Brothers, our Fraternity is embarking on a multi-year
expansion program to reopen closed chapters, expand to new
campuses, and strengthen existing chapters. Staff and volunteers
work virtually around the clock, supporting and strengthening
our Fraternity. Isn’t it time we provided the resources to make
their job easier and the product better? Bringing Honor Above
All (Honor Super Omnia) to the undergraduates on campus is
an appropriate and valuable endeavor...it was good for us, it
will be good for them. Help us allow KDR and Greek life to
remain an important part of the college experience.
Below you’ll see the list of Brothers who’ve made a
commitment to the Centennial Recognition Program (CRP)
Campaign. You can check out the Centennial Wall of Honor on
the web at: www.kdrfoundation.org. Join us! Make a pledge
today to add your name to the wall. If you’re willing to help contact and inspire classmates to encourage them to be part of the

SO YOU WANT TO PARTY!
by Gerald Stebbins, Vice President of Alumni Affairs
ALUMNI EVENTS CAN BE MAGICAL. There is a tremendous synergy and excitement at homecoming when actives
meet "legends" at the house or when getting together to reacquaint themselves with longtime friends and Brothers at the
annual alumni event.
So it’s time to roll out the keg, throw some food on the
grill, tailgate, camp out, or throw the pig on the spit. WHOA!
If your alumni event sounds anything like this, you MUST
read the rest of this article and, if it does not sound like this,
you may be on the right track but it never hurts to get caught
up on the latest policies. The policies on hosting events can be
easy to follow. Things have changed considerably since the
’50s, ’70s, and even the ’90s.
FACT or FICTION: We are all of legal age so we can consume
alcohol anyway we wish?
FICTION: The national policies on social host and alcohol use
at social events are as relevant for alumni events as they are
for the undergraduates. This means for all alumni events, you
must follow the same policies set forth by the National
Fraternity and the Fraternity Insurance Programming Group.
This means NO KEGS or open bars. All events held at restaurants and hotels must be cash bar. Individuals who are not of
legal age are not permitted to consume, possess, or transport
alcohol. Events held through third-party vendorship are still
the preferred method of hosting an event. What does that
mean? Use a licensed restaurant or hotel to supervise your
alumni event. You should provide nonsalty foods, other drink
alternatives to alcohol, and monitors to assess the safety of the
guests. This is where the third-party vendor is especially helpful. They have a duty to “shut off” individuals they deem to
have consumed too much. This also doesn’t make you (the
possible host) the bad guy.
FACT or FICTION: Collecting for one price is okay, especially
if we can get a better deal on food and alcohol?
FICTION: If you collect for the event, you may pay for meals,
appetizers, rental fees, and nonalcohol related drinks. Never
include the cost for alcohol in any collection of fees. Also, if a
drink special is provided, it cannot be advertised as the KDR
HAPPY HOUR or KDR CRUSH special drink for the guests.
However, if a bar is offering a special drink special for all
patrons at the bar, KDRs are able to participate in those specials so long as they individually purchase their own alcohol.
FACT or FICTION: An alumnus will be turned off and not
attend an event if they have to follow all these rules.
TRICK QUESTION: The answer is “maybe.” Hopefully, you
can explain that in order to protect the chapter, the National
Fraternity, the Alumni Corporation or Association, and potentially yourself, these rules must be followed. I have hosted
numerous events for KDR across the country and have yet had
an alumnus be upset or angry when I explained the expectation of dividing the cost of the evening. Be forthright and
immediate with the ground rules to avoid any confusion.
FACT or FICTION: What can anyone
do to me? I am an alumnus and I can
buy a keg if I wish for the chapter or
alumni at homecoming!
FICTION: First, the chapter could be
held accountable if this occurs at a KDR event either at the
house, off site, or at a tailgate. Additionally, the college or university may hold the chapter accountable. My advice, donate
money towards a scholarship that could truly assist the chapter
or alumni. Make a lasting and important change in someone’s
life for the positive and protect the chapter. If another alumnus
decides to bring a keg, as an alumnus, please step in to assist
the chapter president in removing the keg or mass quantity of
alcohol. They need your help to follow the policies particularly if another alumnus is involved.
Visit the KDR website for more information or advice on
hosting alumni events. Also, send all local chapter, regional,
and national alumni events you are hosting. We will place
them on the website and provide guidance in areas where you
may have questions. Be safe and follow these rules and regulations. Check the website for more information on social host
policies for everyone’s safety and sake.

Q&S 21
Dear Brothers:
We are required by our insurance carrier to remind and inform our membership of the National Fraternity’s risk management policies at least once
a year. To assist you in ensuring our alumni and undergraduate events are facilitated per our insurance policies, we have provided them below for
you to review. If you have any questions or concerns in the implementation of these policies at our events, please do not hesitate to contact the
National Office at 1-800-536-5371, ext. 12, or Joseph S. Rosenberg, executive director, at 412-953-6482.

22 Q&S
Beta Chapter
(Cornell University)
Beta Chapter is happy to report that we
have four new pledges this semester.
This is the largest fall pledge class we
have had in years. Most of our recent
alumni cannot think of a year when we had more
than three pledges in the fall. They are all fine
young men and our teachings and values will help
form them into great leaders of tomorrow. Classes
are in full swing now and our Brothers are settled
in. Our house is only one member shy of full capacity for live-ins which is a marked improvement over
the half empty house we had last year. A number of
our Brothers are starting to take an active role in
IFC by joining committees and helping to organize
rush for the entire fraternity system. Most importantly, our chapter just paid off a longstanding debt
of more than $20,000 to our corporation board.
This is a debt that our current members inherited
when joining, and was a dark cloud hanging over
our heads that we are glad to see go. In alumni news
we just held a Homecoming weekend where we
generated some much appreciated donations and
Cornell Big Red took down the Yale Bulldogs 17-14
to win the football game. We look forward to the
rest of this semester and into next semester where
we plan on getting as many new members as we can
so that our chapter will grow and prosper.
Epsilon Chapter
(Franklin College)
The men of Epsilon Chapter
ended the previous school year
on a high note. We were named
Fraternity Chapter of the Year at Franklin College.
In addition, we also won awards for Best Campus
Involvement, Highest Fraternity Grade Point
Average, and Best New Member Education
Program. We began to gear up for this school year
starting with the National Convention. Three of our
Brothers attended and brought back many good
ideas and insights concerning recruitment, risk
management, and our ritual. Our chapter also won
awards for Outstanding Newsletter and Faculty
Relations.
This school year started off well with our annual Back-to-School Raffle. We raffled off a gift certificate to the Cheesecake Factory and were able to
raise more than $200 for The Boys and Girls Club
of Franklin. Formal recruitment was a big success
for our chapter as well. Thanks to a solid recruitment effort, nine new men have joined our chapter
as pledges of the Fraternity. We are looking forward
to teaching them the history and values of our
Fraternity over the course of their new member education program.
Additional upcoming events for our chapter
include our Homecoming Pancake Breakfast and
annual Dance-A-Thon competition. As a chapter
we are excited for the year to come and are committed to maintaining our standard of excellence.
CHAPTER NEWS
Zeta Chapter
(Pennsylvania State University)
Zeta Chapter has been undergoing
house renovations and will hopefully
be moving into the new house before
the semester ends. Our renovations
include redoing the entire second and third floors
including 13 singles all with their own bathroom.
Each room will have its own heating and cooling
system along with a microwave and personal refrigerators. Currently, the chapter is living in three
other fraternity houses until renovations are completed but we are still involved in all Greek events.
We have signed up for IM football and are hoping
to go to the championship this year.
Eta Chapter
(University of Illinois)
After a busy spring semester, summer
offered a much needed break. Most
importantly, summer meant going to
the National Convention in Toledo,
Ohio. The chapter sent seven undergraduates and
met three alumni in Toledo, making the convention
feel like home. While there, we were able to meet
and network with the other KDRs from all across the
country. One of the many rewarding things that we
took away from convention was the goal to interact
more with the other chapters in our region. Turning
words into action, the men of the Upsilon Alpha
Chapter at St. Louis University are visiting us soon,
as well as the men from Nu at Indiana University
later this semester. Also, many of us in the region are
planning a big trip to the Upsilon Alpha Chapter to
work with our Brothers and help in any way we can.
National Convention was not only rewarding for
all the tremendous learning experiences gained, but
also for the awards received at the Scholarship
Luncheon and the Ordo Honoris Banquet. The men
of Eta are truly grateful to be the recipients of nine
scholastic awards and 10 outstanding achievement
awards including the Grand Consul Award for
Chapter of the Year. Bringing all those awards home
to our chapter served as proof that we do great
things and as motivation to continue to work hard
every day.
With the start of a new semester rush is on everyone’s mind and thanks to the National Convention
we all learned creative new ways to recruit. Things
have been going very well so far and we have high
hopes for a large fall pledge class. Also, our philanthropy soccer tournament will be bigger and better
this year. We have switched from co-hosting it with
ADPi to Alpha Phi, an organization that we have
always held in high regard and will help make the
tournament fun and exciting.
Finally, the Eta Brothers and alumni are working
together to plan a spectacular Homecoming since it
will be the last one before the house is closed for
renovations next summer. We are also working
together to raise money for the project which has a
$1.5 million budget. In summary, this semester we
are striving to capitalize on the momentum generated last semester and this summer to continue to do
great things. We hope to be back at National
Convention next year
Epsilon Brothers assist flood victims.
See page 5 for story.
Theta Chapter
(Purdue University)
At the Theta Chapter, the morale and
excitement for the Fraternity is very
high, as we continue to see the results
of our hard work.
The renovations on the house look breathtaking.
The Theta Foundation put a great deal of time and
money into restoring the house over the summer.
Our deepest thanks go out to all Brothers involved.
More work is being planned as the funding
becomes available. The chapter now has 31
Brothers who are proud to live in our beautiful
home! The Brothers welcome all alumni to stop by
for a look around.
Recruitment started off well and we inducted 11
outstanding men into pledgeship at the beginning of
the semester. We hope that continuous recruitment
will yield another six men before the end of the
semester. These individuals have already shown
dedication to the chapter and will be a great addition to our ranks.
Brothers of Theta Chapter.
The chapter was proud to have earned awards
from the National Convention including first place
in public relations, first place in social service, and
second place in recruitment. Purdue University also
recognized the chapter with their “most improved
GPA” award.
The Brothers will most likely race a grand prix
car this year and we are looking forward to taking
part in that tradition. We are also looking forward to
our annual Brotherhood retreat in mid-October
where we paintball and camp together. We are
proud of our accomplishments and pleased with the
current state of the chapter. As always, we continue
to aim higher and think of more ways to improve
our Fraternity.
Iota Chapter
(Bucknell University)
After a very successful spring semester, the Brothers have moved back into
their residence on Fraternity Road.
From the work put in last semester, we
are able to boast having currently produced the
most community service and philanthropy dollars
per member and most educational and universitysponsored events attended at Bucknell University.
Under the same leadership, save Chris Collier who
is taking over as senior tribune for Nick Donahue,
we plan to dive head on into another great semester.
With the help of the alumni and the National Staff,
the Brothers expect to make positive strides on this
campus.
This year we experienced one of our strongest
recruitment periods thanks to the hard work and
efforts of Nick Donahue. With 18 pledges to start
Q&S 23
with, Junior Tribune Chris Dunne will be running
his second course of The Path. As the future of the
Fraternity, the new members will become both acclimated to Greek life at Bucknell and aware of the
standards of the Fraternity. They will actively take
part in our social and service functions and continually learn what KDR Brotherhood is really about.
Of course, the Brothers will continue to rack up
more community service hours, putting a greater
focus on helping out with children in the local community. Their philanthropy endeavors will follow
the same principle. The Brothers plan to focus their
efforts on KDR Kids. They will be coaching athletic teams in the community as well as running afterschool sports programs at the Milton YMCA.
Under Community Service Chair Phil Nazarenus
and Philanthropy Chair Nick Doyle, our chapter
plans to put up another semester of impressive statistics. The Brothers look forward to making a lasting impression on this campus and establishing a
precedent for years to come.
Lambda Chapter
(University of California at Berkeley)
Our vision is to become the best fraternity at Berkeley in five years, especially
in Brotherhood quality, social service,
and academics this year. Lambda
Chapter is determined to expand, and we will do so
aggressively. For the first time, we implemented
The Path, having two pledge classes instead of one.
It may be challenging at first, but we have full confidence in the system, and together we will overcome any obstacles to achieve our goals. Not only
have we been keeping busy carefully selecting the
crème of the crop to be a part of our family, we have
also been planning on better ways to serve our surrounding community. While continuing what we did
last year (which we earned us second place for the
Edward E. Kimball Award for Outstanding Social
Service), the focus this year is to take the leadership
role in the Greek philanthropic effort at Berkeley. In
addition, led by Brother Kia Hamzelou, we are creating the first sustainability program for fraternities.
We will organize a recycling effort amongst the
Greek community promoting unity and a cleaner
Earth. We won many awards from a successful
semester last year. They included Award for
Scholastic Achievement, Edward E. Kimball Award
for Outstanding Social Service, Most Improved
GPA (at Berkeley, 3.23 average), and most importantly, Most Improved Chapter. Instead of being
complacent, these accomplishments further fueled
our thirst for perfection. Our Chapter is at the dawn
of a new Golden Age. We will continue to shape
scholars into extraordinary leaders and, at the same
time, we aim towards becoming the next Chapter of
the Year, to become instrumental in the great westward expansion of KDR.
Rho Chapter
(Lafayette College)
The Brothers of the Rho Chapter are
getting ready for a very exciting fall
semester. Our outstanding reputation
made it possible for us to initiate 24
new members this fall who we are certain will carry
on our proud traditions and commitment to academics, philanthropy, and athletics. Last semester, the
chapter earned a 3.39 average GPA, beating out all
other Lafayette fraternities and the average GPA of
all other Greek organizations and all men and
women at Lafayette College. This year we will also
continue to host several successful philanthropy
events that benefit the Children’s Home of Easton,
Pennsylvania. These events include the annual
24 Q&S
CHAPTER NEWS
KKG & KDR Carwash with Kappa Kappa Gamma
Sorority, the Flap Jack Attack with Tri Delta
Sorority, and Dance Marathon with Pi Beta Phi
Sorority. Everyone is already involved in planning
these events to increase our annual charitable donations in order to help troubled youths from around
the Lehigh Valley. In recognition of our chapter’s
achievements and hard work, the chapter was
awarded as having the most outstanding intramural
sports, campus involvement, and philanthropy at
National Convention.
Alpha Alpha Chapter
(Lock Haven University)
So far, the Alpha Alpha Chapter has
been busy keeping up it's exceptional
community service. On Labor Day, we
helped the Lock Haven Fire Company
with their Regatta as we always do. At the beginning of October Brother Neal Newmark participated in the Megatransect, which is a 25-mile run/trail
hike. Neal raised money to start a drug education
program in memory of Brother Ed Wascavage who
passed away this summer. During Halloween we
will be hold our second annual Haunted House for
the United Way. The haunted house allows people
from all over town to tour our house that has been
transformed into a haunted mansion. The chapter is
working hard on rush events and hopes to have a
very large pledge class in the spring semester. We
now have two Executive Board members in Lock
Haven's Student Cooperative Council. Andres
Mendoza serves as the vice president and Daniel
Blackmore serves as speaker of the senate. This
year we are celebrating our 50th Anniversary and
are very much looking forward to meeting many
founding members as they will be visiting the chapter house for the first time in many years.
Iota Alpha Chapter
(University of Pittsburgh, Johnstown)
The Iota Alpha Chapter has been very
active on campus this fall. We are doing
a great job attracting incoming freshman and upperclassman to our organization and house. We have three intramural teams in
which we encourage not just KDR Brothers to join,
but other students on campus as well. With us participating in flag football, softball, and soccer, we
are getting a wide variety of potential members to
join our teams and become interested in possibly
joining our Fraternity. Intramurals are one of our
most beneficial ways of recruiting new members,
but we’ve also done well with getting men to come
to the house for Steelers games and cookouts on the
weekends. Our intramural teams have been very
successful so far going unbeaten in flag football,
and soccer. We are on our way to another great season in each of the two sports. It’s also a good way
for all of us to get together and have a good time,
and build rivalries amongst the other fraternities
and houses on campus.
This fall we adopted a highway where we all get
together on the weekend and pick up trash along
Route 219 and clean up all garbage next to the road.
We usually do this a couple times a semester while
the weather is still nice and the ground isn’t covered
with snow. Our major community service event is
held in the spring when we hold our sixth Annual
Autism Walk, which is held at the track next to
campus. The success of our walk is growing year
by year and is attracting families to come out and
support our cause. In the pas,t we have had alumni
come back to campus for the weekend and attend
our Autism Walk. We have appreciated all the support from our alumni and encourage them to come
visit more often.
Nu Alpha Chapter
(Columbia University)
The Nu Alpha Chapter is off to a strong
start this semester. We finally cleared
all of our debt and we now have a budget for the first time. We have already
scheduled a few community service events, such as
a park clean up with a local sorority and a clothing
drive. We are starting to organize for Homecoming
on October 4 and we have our first social event, a
mixer with the Theta Sorority on September 26. We
have a little more than 10 potential new members
and we plan to extend bids out to them in the next
two weeks. Niko Scott, ’10 is making a KDR banner that will hang outside of our brownstone in
order to promote campus awareness of Kappa Delta
Rho. We look forward to adding new members this
year and to the regional conclave being held at
Cornell.
Pi Alpha Chapter
(University of Toledo)
The semester is off to a promising start
for the Pi Alpha Chapter. It has made
progress during rush and is continuing
to improve as a chapter. We have set the
goal for this year to become a larger chapter.
The big story is our stunning success during
rush. Alumni Advisor Craig Gordan worked hand
in hand with our Executive Board and our chapter
to make changes in our rush techniques. The chapter appealed to men looking to get involved. We
searched for men who were above average; men
that are promising athletes, student government
members, or scholastic achievers. We are proud of
our new pledge class of 19 quality men. Strikingly,
our new pledge class, Epsilon Beta, has a 3.2 grade
point average. It should be noted that this GPA is 25
percent above the all men’s average GPA.
The chapter is looking to improve its philanthropic involvement this semester. We are currently
organizing a lasting volunteer-based relationship
with both The Toledo Day Nursery and The Toledo
YMCA. We are confident that we will be able to
give back to the community more effectively by
starting a tradition of volunteering at these locations. Also new this fall, the Brothers wrote letters
and delivered flowers to every sorority on campus.
We asked if they needed help in any of their philanthropy events or fundraisers. We expect to have
quite a positive impact in Toledo by spring 2009.
Lastly, we would like to thank everyone who
participated in National Convention in August. We
were honored to host the convention and proud of
our awards we received. Pi Alpha won awards for
Scholastic Achievement, Outstanding Recruitment,
and Alumni Relations.
Tau Alpha Chapter
(Radford University)
The Brothers at the Tau Alpha Chapter
are very excited about the upcoming
school year. We have a lot of events
planned for this semester. We have
recruited four excellent men who make up our
Theta Beta Pledge Class and will be fine additions
to our chapter. We are hoping to double the recruitment for the fall and really kick our numbers
through the roof.
Fundraising is our primary focus and we are
doing great things. Besides working the Virginia
Tech football games, we are also attending the
NASCAR race at the Martinsville Speedway on
October 17. We are hosting an Alumni Weekend
October 10-12 and have great plans for an Alumni
Weekend in February. If there are any alumni who
do not have a way of contacting our chapter, feel
free to grab one of the active Brother’s e-mail
addresses on the national KDR website and drop us
a line. We are looking for a huge turnout this year.
We are also planning a Parents Weekend and possibly bringing back the tradition of Dad’s Day.
The Brothers here are full of ambition and hopefully we can make next semester just as good as this one!
Psi Alpha Chapter
(Pennsylvania State University at
College of Behrend)
The life of Kappa Delta Rho
at Behrend has become a
truly great experience for
those of us at the Psi Alpha Chapter. After the reorganization of our chapter last semester, we’ve seen
a large interest from other men on campus to
involve themselves with an organization that is a bit
fresh and different. We’ve recruited six men for the
fall semester, doubling our size. We also have a
large group of interested men for the coming spring
semester.
CHAPTER NEWS
National Convention which included ssecond place
for Outstanding Website Design and Outstanding
Recruitment Award. Recently, several members of
our chapter and one alumnus attended McDaniel
College to assist and congratulate the men who
have chosen to become Brothers of Kappa Delta
Rho. This is a great honor for our chapter.
Gamma Beta Provisional Chapter
(Virginia Tech University)
The Virginia Tech Provisional
Chapter has made tremendous
strides over the past year. It has
been both a challenging and
rewarding journey. We are aiming to charter in
spring 2009.
Through many ups and downs, we are looking to
have the first budget surplus this spring. Through
great fundraising participation from all the Brothers
and conservative spending, we are successfully
climbing out of the financial hole in which we
unfortunately found ourselves. Our newest
fundraiser is setting up the gates around Lane
Stadium before each home football game. In addition, we continue to work security for the NASCAR
races in Martinsville, Virginia. Our most recent new
member class was also successful in raising money
through a Krispy Kreme doughnut sale on campus.
We are gaining recognition among the Greek
community through our great participation in philanthropy and fundraising events. In particular, we
are helping a sorority on campus by auctioning off
10 of our Brothers in a date auction to raise money
for the Boys and Girls Club of Southwest Virginia.
Brothers of Psi Alpha Chapter.
Our chapter is very involved in other facets of
student life. Collectively, our membership includes
five executive members of the campus’s entertainment board, the Student Government vice president, two Student Government senators, the college’s orientation director, seven members of the
orientation staff, and the campus’s former THON
director, a cause we've become very involved in.
We also are lucky to have Brother Ammar Hussein,
an alumni from Edinboro University, working at the
campus as a residence coordinator to help us get
things restarted.
Alpha Beta Chapter
(University of Delaware)
The Alpha Beta Chapter is starting the
2008-2009 year off with a bang. We
have maintained strong ties with our
campus and community and are expecting a great recruitment period for the
fall. Our chapter is very strong. We will, however,
be graduating 15 members in May. That said, we
have high aspirations for the coming rush and plan
to mix it with innovative and fun events. The chapter has remained active in community events most
recently attending numerous fundraisers endorsed
by other Greek organizations. We have been working closely with IFC and the university to help
shape Greek life on our campus. The chapter is
proud to announce receiving two awards at the

Chapter pose after a football game.
Our success is rooted in our ability to recruit
exceptional young men. This past spring we initiated 10 new Brothers, and we followed that with
another strong class this fall.
Each semester our Fraternity has made significant improvements. There is great potential for our
chapter, and with the national support, we intend to
become a pillar of the Greek community at Virginia
Tech. We are all eagerly anticipating crossing over
to become Brothers of Kappa Delta Rho
Epsilon Beta Chapter
(Old Dominion University)
The Epsilon Beta Chapter has had an
exciting start with the fall semester. The first three
weeks of rush, hard work, and dedication has paid
off. Forty bids have been given and we expect a
pledge class of 30 plus members for the Alpha Nu
Pledge Class of fall 2008. Our intramural sports are
also going to be exciting. With football, fall soccer,
and golf we are looking to place in the top three in
all. With community service we are doing our annual Adopt-a-Street where we clean 42nd street in
Norfolk, Virginia. CHKD (Children’s Hospitals of
the Kings Daughters) where we entertain terminal-
ly ill kids, and the Botanical Gardens where we help
plant plants for mother nature.
At the National Convention we won three chapter awards. We placed third for the Executive
Director’s Award for Outstanding Recruitment with
20 new members and received the O.D. Roberts
Award for Most Chapter Improvement. We are very
proud that our own remarkable advisor, Michael
Edwards, received the Most Outstanding Advisor
Award. The school year is starting off with a push
that puts Kappa Delta Rho in the lead of all other
fraternities on campus. It is determination, spirit,
dedication, and most of all brotherhood that will
keep the Fraternity on top, while still proving the
ideals of a Kappa Delta Rho Gentleman.
Eta Beta Chapter
(West Chester University)
The Eta Beta Brothers have been very
busy this semester. At the beginning
of September, they pinned nine new
members with an additional two new
members accepting bids for the spring
semester.
The Brothers have been working sporting events
at Lincoln Financial Field, home of the Philadelphia
Eagles. So far as a chapter, they have raised almost
$2,000 dollars. They have also started a second
fundraiser where they are selling discount restaurant cards to WCU students.
We have also achieved more than 250 community service hours this semester. This amount is 50
more than any other fraternity has done. The
Brothers are working hard to achieve their goal of
500 community service hours for the fall semester.
Eta Beta Consul Christopher “Tiffer” Burns has
been nominated to represent the Greek community
as its nominee for Homecoming King. If he wins,
it will be the second time in four years that a KDR
Brother has won the title.
Lastly, one of our alumni, Craig Dunkle, a graduate student at Temple University is in the process
of recolonizing the Xi Alpha Chapter. We would
like to acknowledge his hard work and we wish him
nothing but the best.
Iota Beta Chapter
(Rochester Institute of Technology)
At the Iota Beta Chapter, we
are off to a good start this fall.
We have completed our roadside clean-up community service event a little different this season. We invited a
sorority, Delta Phi Epsilon, to go with us. This was
wonderful because we were able to use this event as
a social event as well. It was great to establish a
relationship with a house on campus that we have
not had much contact with. Later this year, we are
planning on larger events with other groups and setting up a new major philanthropy with one other
Greek group on campus. We hope to make a large
contribution to KDR Kids this year. We have doubleed the pledge class we had last fall and are working to continue to recruit above retention levels.

Kappa Beta Chapter
(Edinboro University)
CHAPTER NEWS
It’s been a good start for the Brothers of Kappa
Beta. We had a successful fall recruitment campaign picking up eight new members who all bring
a lot to the table in keeping this chapter running. On
October 3-4 we celebrated our Homecoming weekend which turned out to be very successful with our
Brother Rob Jackson bringing home the crown for
the second year in a row! The Homecoming theme

for this year was Marvel Comics where we decided
to do “The Hulk” for our float which placed second.
It was a great weekend for everybody not only for
getting the crown but also in seeing so many alumni. As for this past summer, we held Kappa Beta’s
First Annual Golf Outing which had a pretty good
turnout for the first year. We’d like to thank all of
the alumni who participated this past year and we
really hope to see you next year. The date has
already been set for next summer, July 18. Finally,
during this past spring semester we accomplished
two major milestones. First, we took home the trophy winning Greek Week, (another title we hope to
hold onto for back-to-back years). Most importantly,
Kappa Beta is finally debt-free with The National
Fraternity for the first time in nearly 10 years.
Phi Beta Chapter
(College of William and Mary)
The Brothers of Phi Beta Chapter came
back from convention ready to improve
on another successful year. After winning Outstanding Recruitment and Risk
Management awards, 33 Brothers returned to live in
Unit A. Fueled by a passion for change, the
Brothers revisited their Bylaws and now have a new
direction for the Fraternity. A successful rush ended
in a new pledge class of 11 members, and the
Brothers cannot be happier with another bid acceptance rate of 100 percent. Also, after ending last season with an IM championship in co-rec volleyball,
the Brothers are looking to make long playoff runs
in IM indoor soccer and softball. The chapter is also
preparing for its big philanthropy, Earthball Soccer,
which will take place November 1. All alumni and
the finest Gentlemen on campus...this Sigma Alpha
pledge class. The future looks very bright in Texas
and the chapter has the fullest intentions to keep
working hard and strive to make 2008-09 the best
year yet.
Zeta Beta Chapter
(Tarleton State University)
The Zeta Beta Chapter has been hard
at work this year to remain leaders on
Tarleton’s campus. In the 47 different
organizations that we are involved in,
we hold 29 executive positions. We
also hold prominent roles in freshman orientation
programs. Brother Shane Henry was the orientation
coordinator and Brothers Justin Bell and Cole
Barber served as Duck Camp coordinators and we
boasted nine orientation advisors and 15 Duck
Camp group leaders. This fall Brother Shane Henry
has been elected as student body president and
Cody Faldyn is the president of the Student
Programming Association, the largest student
organization on campus. We are looking to follow
up our wins from last year in Yell Contest, Silver
Bugle Hunt, flag football, and basketball again this
fall and continue to show why the orange and blue
is a step above everyone else. Our membership
remains strong having initiated 21 outstanding
members last year and we have recently added 22 of
Brother Shane Henry, Zeta Beta ’09, along
with fellow Brothers from Zeta Beta at the
annual Yell Contest.
The Beta Gamma Chapter has
been extremely busy this scholastic year. We started off twith an
Open Mic Night that was open to the whole campus
to come out and share their talents. We have also
held one of our many philanthropic events called
Cue for the Cause, a billiards tournament in which
we raised a substantial amount of money for the
Make a Wish Foundation. Our recruitment went
well and we are continuing to spread the great name
of KDR throughout our community. A vast majority of the members of student government are KDR
Brothers who proudly wear their letters when creating and voting on Student policy.
Gamma Gamma Chapter
(York College of Pennsylvania)
The Brothers at the Gamma
Gamma Chapter have kept
very busy this past school year.
We initiated 11 new members
during the previous year and we graduated seven.
Our fall recruitment program is looking very promising and we are looking at a new member class
upward of eight outstanding gentlemen.
During the previous fall semester, the chapter
collected more than 500 toys for our Community Toy
Drive. The chapter also raised more than $4,000 for
the First Annual York College Relay for Life. All of
us would like to congratulate Kris Hood for raising
more than half that amount by himself in less than
two months. We were nominated for the Jodi Appell
Award, an award given to the organization with outstanding philanthropy for the school year and placed
third out of every organization on campus.
We have been reviewing and updating our local
Constitution and our local website. We are currently revamping our recruitment program with the
addition of a new Rush Board, pamphlets, and business cards that will contain all the necessary information for interested students. The chapter is looking
forward to participating in the intramural sports of
soccer and flag football in the fall semester.
The entire chapter is excited for the new colony
at McDaniel College (see page 11) and looks forward to assisting them in their growth into a chapter. We are proud to welcome Dr. Jen Martin as our
new faculty advisor. She is a professor of aministrative business and psychology. Dr. Martin is married
to Brother Donald Martin, an alumnus from the Iota
Alpha Chapter at the University of Pittsburgh,
Johnstown.
