Tragedy in a Bottle
Tragedy in a Bottle
O
n the evening of November 17, 2004, Steven Judd, New Mexico State
’06, prepared to go out with some friends, some of whom were Delta
Chi brothers, to celebrate his turning 21 at midnight that night. Steven
had been elected “A” of the Chapter just that month. He was, well, just
read the letter from his father that is reprinted below.
Many traditions, rites, and rituals are an important aspect of fraternal life,
but on November 18, 2004 the New Mexico State Chapter of Delta Chi had
the misfortune of experiencing what can happen when common sense gives
way to tradition, pride and ignorance. One of their traditions, which we have
subsequently learned is fairly common, was to take out their brothers at 12
midnight on the eve of their 21st birthday and try to get them really drunk. On
that fateful night they were very successful. My son, Steven David Judd,
according to his brothers and the El Paso, Texas Coroner’s office, consumed
over 15 mixed drinks in less than two hours. All these drinks were purchased
by his Delta Chi brothers. When the bars closed at 2 AM they took him back
to his room at the fraternity house and put him to bed. They even provided
him with a “barf bucket” next to his bed and proceeded to watch him go
unknowingly from a drunken state of euphoria to a stupor and eventually
sleep. During this “sleeping it off” phase he eventually went into a coma
and by morning had stopped breathing, all of this under the watchful eyes
of his brothers who knew no better. Steven never woke up from his “big
night on the town” and was pronounced dead on November 19 th, barely 24
hours after their celebration. Steven’s birthday, funeral, Thanksgiving,
Christmas and the New Year have now passed and we are still trying to
pick up the pieces and make some sense of how this tragedy could have
occurred and been prevented.
Very few of you had the opportunity and pleasure to know Steven as
an individual, but to those brothers who did, know how blessed you are.
Steven David Judd was born November 18, 1983. Steven leaves behind
his loving father Steve, mother Karen, sister Stephanie and too many
friends and family to count. Steven was born and raised in El Paso, Texas.
During his high school years he received a number of state and local awards
in academics, science and computer programming and graduated with
honors. Steven was a practitioner and teacher of Butokan Karate. Besides being enthralled with learning and computers, Steven loved traveling and camping. He had the fortune to be able to visit all 50 states in the
US and many of the providences and states of Canada and Mexico. At the
time of his death, Steven was a junior Crimson Scholar at New Mexico
State University in Las Cruces majoring in computer science and recently
had been invited to join Gamma Sigma Alpha (the National Greek Academic Honor Society). Steven had recently been elected president of the
NMSU Delta Chi Chapter. Steven also worked at AICS in Las Cruces for
the past three years as a computer programmer developing software which
will be used in science and education to deliver talks and lectures to parts
of the world lacking high speed Internet access. He, like many his age,
had all kinds of dreams and aspirations to fulfill.
Steven has left many family and friends who will be better off for knowing him and will be missed by all. We hope that people will remember Steven
for all his accomplishments in his short life, in addition to the fact that his
Steven Judd, New
Mexico State ’06
untimely death was the result of excess alcohol consumption on his 21st birthday. Life teaches us something if only we will listen. Regretfully, some
people have to learn from their own mistakes. Even more regretfully, some
mistakes are so tragic that both one’s life and potential are lost forever. We
hope that all his brothers who read this will choose the former not the latter.
We hope that the one positive thing that comes out of Steven’s untimely and
unnecessary death will be that others will learn something about their own
infallibility and will make the necessary changes in their lives. We do not
want anyone else to put their friends and family through what our family and
friends will have to endure the rest of our lives.
We pray that Steven’s death will be a learning experience for others.
Even GOOD kids can make stupid mistakes. This lesson has been the
hardest for us to understand. Steven was an intelligent young man who
knew better and somehow still made this tragic error in judgment. He had
worked hard all week on his various computer and physics assignments in
order to have a couple of hours of free time to celebrate his birthday after
midnight. We had talked to him only a few hours before and told him to
use his good judgment and to remember he had both school and work the
next morning. What was going on or not going on in his alcohol induced
mind we will never know. This tragedy might have been prevented had
Steven or his brothers used good judgment and spent a few minutes learning about alcohol poisoning and its symptoms and preventions. His brothers, out of ignorance not malice, virtually did everything wrong according to the experts. He could be your son, daughter, brother, sister, or friend.
Please take a few minutes and sit down with them and read this article
together. We hope it will make a difference. It is the good that all who
know him will remember forever, but if his real legacy is that others lived
because he died, then maybe his loss will not be so wasted.
We would like to challenge all of Steven’s Delta Chi brothers throughout the country to have at least one less drink each month this semester
and to donate the money you would have spent on those drinks to the
Steven David Judd Scholarship at New Mexico State University to help
keep Steven’s memory alive. More importantly, when you pass on that
last drink of the night, remember our son and your brother Steven Judd.
Hopefully, no other Delta Chi chapters will have to endure the guilt and
suffering that the NMSU chapter will have to endure forever.
We are also challenging each of the Delta Chi chapters to take the lead
on their own college campuses to educate their communities with regards
to alcohol abuse and the tragic negative effects. With minimal effort you
can find out all kinds of valuable information on the Internet and make a
difference. Over 1400 college students are killed in alcohol related
accidents each and every year. We are not trying to bring back the
temperance movement, only moderation and common sense. Both of
these often are ignored in “the moment.” – Steve Judd

The Values of Delta Chi
As a former professional law fraternity, Delta Chi has always maintained as part of its core values, the respect for and observance of the law.
When we went “General” in 1923, we broadened that out to “Justice for our fellow man.” Fundamentally, we believe in the betterment of
mankind and, specifically, our members. Besides our policies aimed at curbing inappropriate behavior, we have developed a wide range of
materials to show our members and our chapters what they can and should be doing. Besides the lessons taught in our Ritual and other
ceremonies, in 1988 we adopted the Basic Expectations of a Delta Chi as a guide to assist our members in living up to their obligations not only
as Delta Chis but as members of society at large.
Taken from Delta Chi’s Ten Basic Expectations of a Member:

I will protect the health and safety of all human beings.
I will neither use nor support the use of illegal drugs; I will neither abuse nor support the abuse of alcohol.
I will know and understand the ideals expressed in my fraternity Ritual and will incorporate them into my daily life.
I will challenge all my fraternity members to abide by these fraternity obligations and will confront those who violate them.
2 ∆X Quarterly Winter/Spring 2005
A report released in 2002 by the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse
and Alcoholism titled, “A Call To Action: Changing the Culture of Drinking at U.S. Colleges,” revealed that drinking by college students age 18-24
contributed to an estimated 1,400 student deaths, 500,000 injuries, and 70,000
cases of sexual assault or date rape each year. “The harm that college students
do to themselves and others as a result of excessive drinking exceeds what
many would have expected,” says lead author Ralph W. Hingson, SC.D., Professor of Social Behavioral Sciences and Associate Dean for Research at Boston University’s School of Public Health. “Our data clearly point to the need
for better interventions against high-risk drinking in this population.”
The NIAAA’s National Advisory Council convened a task force consisting of more than 36 college presidents, scientists and students to conduct a comprehensive review of research on college drinking and efforts
to curb it. Its findings appear in the March 2005 issue of the American Journal of Public Health. Among its discoveries is that most students drink moderately or even abstain, with the percent of non-drinkers rising from 15%
to 19% between 1993 and 1999. But it also discovered that there has been a
dramatic increase in the extreme forms of college drinking. There was evidence that something like 20% of college students consume 70% of all the
alcohol consumed by college students. According to the Task Force research, “Drinking rates were highest among incoming freshmen, males,
members of fraternities and sororities, and althletes.”
The study then focused on prevention efforts to see what was and was not
effective. The following were deemed to be effective: combining cognitivebehavior skills with norms clarification; brief motivational interventions, and
altering students’ expectations about the effects of alcohol. Also found to be
effective were enforcement of of minimum drinking age laws, restrictions on
alcohol retail outlet density around campuses, and responsible beverage service policies. Promising steps listed included the reinstatement of Friday classes
and exams, alcohol free living environments, “Safe Ride” programs, regulation of “happy hours,” and consistent enforcement for alcohol policy violations. The Task Force reported interventions that rely entirely on providing
information about problems related to risks from drinking as “Ineffective.”
The alcohol culture that pervades so many of our college campuses
today is at the root of all too many tragedies. The assumption that excessive drinking is the “norm,” coupled with the sense of immortality and
that nothing bad can happen to us when we are young, is a dangerous
and, unfortunately, sometimes lethal mixture. Nationwide, Greeks represent about 8% of the student population and studies have shown that the
majority of our members either drink responsibly or even abstain, but even
good people can, on occasion, make bad choices. Those who do drink irresponsibly on a more regular basis are truly causing us great difficulty, not
only in the reputation for drinking but in terms of the dysfunctional
behavior that their drinking is causing. Vandalism, destruction of chapter property and the pain and suffering visited on the rest of the brotherhood and sisterhood are just some of the consequences of this behavior. It is past time for such behaviors to be confronted. There is an old
saying that the world will never be in danger from those who do evil
but, rather, from the good people who allow them to do it, even if those
who are doing evil or simply making a bad choice are fraternity brothers or close friends and maybe especially if they are.

I
am enjoying being Delta
Chi’s 49th “AA”. In the six
plus months since I was
elected, I have been on the road
visiting with chapters and
alumni and representing the
organization for official events.
I thoroughly enjoyed being
back in Manhattan, Kansas for
the 10 th anniversary of the
Kansas State Chapter ’s
Chartering. As a young
Director of Expansion, I helped
to start that Chapter in 1992,
and this was my first trip back
there. I also was able to
participate in the initiation of
the Founding Father class at
his 21st birthday, and some
reports said he did around 15
shots. This was just one of
several alcohol-related deaths
that occurred on college
campuses last fall. A number
of them involved members of
the Greek system. When will
college students learn that
they are not indestructible?
When will they learn that their
choices can dramatically
impact their lives and the lives
of others? That realization
simply MUST happen soon. If
our undergraduate members
had to place a phone call to the
grieving parents of a lost
alumnus who thought closing
the chapter was too severe an
outcome for their ONE
transgression. When I told him
the Chapter had THREE
transgressions during the fall
semester, he was surprised.
And he was on their ABT. Delta
Chi had no choice. The drug
raid a week later, after local
authorities had been able to
purchase marijuana in the
house, confirmed our decision.
Delta Chi is my favorite
college fraternity, but it is not
yet the BEST college fraternity.
We are working on it. The
Board of Regents is developing Steve Bossart, “AA”
It’s good (and bad)
to be the “AA”
the Marshall Colony. That was
a real treat for me. In addition,
presenting the chartering
proclamation to the new
Georgia Southern Chapter was
truly an honor. Working with the
other board members and
executive committee members
as well as meeting alumni and
undergraduate members – I am
thrilled every day to be a leader
in this great organization.
I will tell you that it hasn’t
all been rosy. On Saturday,
November 21 st I placed a
telephone call to Steven Judd’s
father in El Paso, Texas. Steven,
the “A”-elect of our New
Mexico State Chapter, died the
day before from alcohol
poisoning. He and a group of
friends went out to celebrate
brother, as our New Mexico
State brothers did, I think the
realization would hit them
sooner rather than later.
In addition, in the span of
just a few weeks in January of
this year, Delta Chi lost
chapters at Eastern Illinois,
Western
Illinois,
and
Whitewater. These chapters
closed for a variety of reasons,
EACH of which can be traced
back to the choices the
members made. In every case,
Delta Chi did all that it could
do to keep these chapters open.
We relied on the members to
make good choices and to do
what was necessary. But even
good people can make bad
choices. In the case of
Whitewater, I talked to an

made, and experiences had.
We need you to be involved
with a local chapter or alumni
group. Don’t assume that
things are fine at your chapter
or at the chapter just down
the road; go see for yourself.
Your involvement just might
help prevent what has been
happening at all too many
chapters like the three
mentioned above. We also
need you to support Delta
Chi with annual gifts, and we
need you to consider this
organization in your future
financial plans. Resources
will help us become the best
college fraternity in North
America. We can’t do it
without our members.
It is good to be the “AA”.
I was once told that the most
important power a leader has
is the power to ask for help. I
am asking for all of our
members to help us become
the best college fraternity in
North America. I am asking
the alumni to get involved in
a local chapter or colony.
Spending time mentoring
and advising young men has
great rewards. To be the best
will take some time, but Delta
Chi will be better off for the
effort. Please contact me at

thoughts and suggestions.
action items as a result of a
strategic planning process
undertaken over the past few
years. With the involvement of
leaders from last year ’s
President’s Cup chapters, we
are working toward the
implementation
of
an
international service project
that will be unveiled at the 2006
Convention. And a committee
made up of board members and
undergraduates is searching for
ways to improve the Convention
experience for all who
participate. We look forward to
sharing results with our
members as we move forward.
I was recently asked about
our image as an organization.
My response was that our
image is our members – both
undergraduate and alumni. If
we are to become the best
college fraternity in North
America, it is going to take a
concerted effort of our
members to get us there.
Undergraduates need to
confront the inappropriate
behavior of their peers. They
need to fight against
mediocrity and strive to be
great. These are choices that Fraternally,
must be made in order to run
their chapters in a manner that
breeds success. Alumni need
to reflect on what this
organization has meant to Steven P. Bossart, “AA”
them in their lives in terms of Kent State ‘90
“Uphold me, O Lord, according to
your promise, and I shall live and
do not confound me in my expectation.” – Suscipe
O
n August 15, 2004, my lips
uttered the scriptural
verse known as the Suscipe
quoted above. These words were
a clear signal to the Benedictine
monks of my community that I
was professing monastic vows as
they had all done before me, binding me to this particular monastery, its monks, and the Rule of
Benedict that governs our lives.
Following the pronouncement of
these words, I laid down freely on
the floor of the Archabbey Church
of Our Lady of Einsiedeln before
the abbot and the community. I
was covered with the funeral pall.
The pall is the sign of Christian
death. In my case, it was also a
sign of dying that I might rise to
this new life. The placement of the
pall is a stark symbol that caught
many of my family and friends
witnessing the profession off
guard, including a good number
of my fraternity brothers. But it
tells the story, in one way, of what
I think about the importance of
common beliefs among brothers.
This time, the story was told with
my monastic brothers. It was not
unlike the previous time, with my
fraternity brothers in 1995, and in
the initiations after that.
On this day, there were a number of people present at Saint
Meinrad Archabbey where monks
have been gathering for just over
150 years to do the Opus Dei, the
work of God, the prayer of the
Church for the Church and for the
world. I often reply simply to my
friends when they ask me what I do
for a living. I could say, “I am a beekeeper, a retreat master, a spiritual
director, a dishwasher, a breakfast
cook, a snow remover, a philanthropist, a student, a teacher, a chaplain, a choir member, a confrere, a
caretaker, a pastoral counselor.”
Instead, I reply, “I pray for you before you’re out of bed in the morning. That’s my job.”
While a Delta Chi officer at
Northwest Missouri State University, I had the great privilege for a
number of years to give the last
talk at our formal recruitment
function. Sitting before me were
the men we were inviting into our
way of life to become part of the
Bond of Delta Chi. “If you believe
in something, you live it. Then you
learn to love it. Then you can teach
it. Live, love, and teach.” Live, love,
and teach have been penned back
to me from some of my fraternity
brothers. I had no idea that I was
helping them out or that they were
hearing me. These words have
come in the form of a scribbled
thank you note, an email, a phone
call, or a face-to-face visit when I
have heard,
“Do you remember
when you
said…?”
Delta
Chi challenged me to live in a particular
way. I chose to incorporate our ten
basic expectations in my style of
leadership and in living with others who do not always share the
same values and merit as Delta
Chi. I learned to see how voices
can mingle in a way that set our
hearts aglow, bound together in a
particular way as thousands have
done before us in Delta Chi since
October 13, 1890, as even more
have done since the founding of
the Flat Hat Club at the College of
William and Mary in 1750, as
Benedictine monks have done
since around the year 540. Just as I
mingled my voice with my brothers in the Bond, so I mingle my
voice with my brother monks each
day, praising God and commending the world, once again, to His
divine mercy.
As an undergraduate, I loved
what I was doing in Delta Chi and
what Delta Chi gave me the cour-
age to do in my own life, in my
chapter, on campus, and for the
international organization. People
saw me living and loving what I
was doing and often joined me in
my zeal for our way of life. They
trusted enough to join me in the
adventures of the House Corporation, renovating a house, recruiting
new members, re-recruiting old
members, taking responsibility for
finances, and making a name for our
fraternity on campus and in the city.
To teach, one must be a good
student. Delta Chi assists in the
acquisition of a sound education
for those willing to do the work.
For those not willing to do what it
takes to finish the endeavor of a
university education, no amount of
assistance by a fraternity or anyone
else will accomplish the goal for
them. Time and again, I have witnessed how Delta Chi, especially at
Northwest Missouri, has indeed
done its share in forming educated
leaders during their college years.
Once graduated, at their best, these
leaders take
what they
have been
given in
their undergraduate
years and
apply it in
their careers and the organizations to
which they belong as civic leaders.
As a monk I continue to share
in the lives of my fraternity brothers. This relationship, although I
am far away from most of them, is
unique. Our paths continue to
cross as I hear about their joys and
sorrows. Lately, a number of fraternity brothers have called to
share the news
that they are expecting their first
child. They ask
me for prayers. I
congratulate them
and add them to
the list of people
for whom I pray.
Then I hang up
the phone with a
smile and wish I
could have told
him who else is
expecting a first child
“As a monk I continue to
share in the lives of my
fraternity brothers.”
But, as with him, that news was
told to me in confidence. So
that’s not my place.
Living the monastic way of life
challenges me to live my life in a
particular way, making my way
“along the road, my heart expanding with the inexpressible delight
of love” (Prologue, Rule of Saint
Benedict). Some may think it is a
radical way of living life; for me it
is my vocation, my job. To live in
a cloister has its challenges, as any
way of life can. Persevering in a
vocation is more than just doing
the work. It is more than experience upon experience. Living life
fully requires reflection on the experiences of our lives, to reflect on
what seems to be ordinary and
decide how your experience fits
into the world’s experience.
The Kingdom of God is at hand.
We live in the Kingdom of God. Either we choose to believe in this,
what some call God’s providence,
or not. If we choose something
greater than our own experience,
the value of common bonds is ever
more a radical understanding of
experience. The first Christians understood this and lived this. Monks
throughout the centuries have done
this. Brothers in the Bond of Delta
Chi continue to do this in a particular
way. We understand how the events
in our lives provide a connection so
that we can see beyond the distractions that can take the place of what
we are to be doing, of living reflectively
in bonds of faith, hope, and charity.

Editor’s Note: If a chapter or
colony is not represented here
then no Campus Scene
material was received on its
behalf for this issue.
ALBERTA
We won this year ’s Delta
Gamma Anchor Splash, improving on last year’s second place
finish and ousting the previous
six-time champions and placed
second our first time in Kappa Alpha Theta’s ABC Head Start Run.
New for us were the Alpha
Gamma Delta’s Greek Games.
We also defended our championship in the IFC Greek God and
Goddess event. Our lead was established by an amazing dance
number and secured by a
multitalented band. To round out
a near-complete Delta Chi dominance in interfraternal events, we
still have to defend our championship in the Panhellenic
Songfest later this year.
We have also had success with
our 7th annual We Want Your
Pants clothing drive. We collected more clothes than last year,
in large part due to the efforts of
Stephan Cherwoniak and Chris
Sandstra. Proceeds went to the
George Spady Homeless Shelter.
As always, success is driven by
brotherhood, epitomized this
year by our initiation of 14 members. Xi was the largest class
since our Founding Fathers.
Spearheaded by Kris Perlinski,
their own philanthropy event
raised an astounding $1,000 in
only 16 hours! Called Wearing
Breasts for Cancer, the event had
brothers wearing stuffed bras to
support breast cancer research,
bringing media attention to the
issue in campus newspapers in
Canada and the U.S.
Our chapter has been revitalized by a move to a new chapter
house that is almost twice as large
as our previous one. The move
has allowed more brothers and
friends to enjoy the chapter and
has helped in generating interest
for rush. Social events held this
semester included a Kappa Alpha
Theta Halloween exchange, our
second annual Shut Up and Grind
party, and an informal Alpha Psi
exchange held during rush.
ALABAMA
We welcomed fifteen initiates,
representing the largest fall class
we have had in a few years. We
have effectively doubled in size
as a result of hard work over the
past year. A few renovation
projects have been completed on
the house, and a few more are in
progress. We also held our first
annual Fall Cocktail on November 6th before the game vs. Mississippi State. This event was
successful in raising funds for
further renovations.
APPALACHIAN STATE
This year we placed in more
events than any other fraternity
on campus, completely dominating in intramurals, Homecoming,
and Greek Week. We grabbed
first place in the Homecoming
float contest by building a twostory steamboat with a paddle

and a smokestack that actually
smoked. We also placed first in
the Chi Omega softball tournament with an undefeated record
and again came in first with the
Greek Week flag football title by
case of the slaughter rule. In the
most respected competition on
campus, “Greek Week Lip Sync,”
we placed first in choreography
and second overall.
This year also marks a benchmark in fundraising due in large
part to our fundraising chair J.P.
Carlin’s new campaign. We also
raised money from the annual
alumni golf tournament and a
poker competition run by our associates. As to social events, we
are still having three to four mixers a semester with the sororities.
ARIZONA STATE
We’re wrapping up our first
semester in our new on-campus
housing at Adelphi II and continue to make improvements to
our chapter room and common
areas. This fall we initiated 25 of
the 34 men who were offered bids
and our intramural football team
made the playoffs. In November,
we held our first philanthropy
since our reestablishment, “Delta
X-Games, “ which was a phenomenal success. Proceeds benefited the Phoenix Children’s Hospital. We would like to thank our
“BB” Klayton Roark ’03 and Scott
Davis ’94, as well as his staff at
Tessio’s Pizza for their support.
We achieved the 3rd highest
GPA amongst the fraternities and
also received a top All-Sports
award. We have been blessed
with a great new housemother,
Charlotte Danielson, who has already started making positive
changes within our chapter.
We held our annual Lake/
Rush party at the Newell family’s
lake house and we had a huge
turnout for our Halloween costume party. We also started a
new tradition, our Sunday Skeet
Shooting Club.
Our turnout of alumni for
football games has greatly increased this year, especially at
homecoming. Also, we would
like to thank the Newell family
and Mike Carroll for their overwhelming support this semester.
AUGUSTA
This fall, we celebrated our
first White Carnation since 2000.
It was a great success!
This semester we have 13
members with 10 associates. On
Thanksgiving, we raised over
$1,000 for the Augusta Rescue
Mission. Now that the Chapter is
multiplying, we are looking at bigger and better things in the future.

Thanksgiving dinner to the community. This was a very rewarding experience for the brothers
and the city of Erie. Our help was
very much appreciated.
BOWLING GREEN
For fall we were proud to have
27 associates join the Bond. This was
the largest fraternity class on campus! Many wanted to join, due to our
being first in grades last spring.
We held our third semi-formal
in Windsor, Ontario. Many brothers and their dates enjoyed a great
evening at Patrick O’ Ryan’s. Another impressive social event was
our first annual Del-Tiki with
Delta Gamma. Much time and energy was spent to create the Tiki
atmosphere. Our house was
decorated with everything from
palm trees to grass skirts. This
fall we made the rounds of campus as we had events with almost all of the sororities.
We also continued to improve
our house as we purchased
brand new black leather couches
and a new entertainment center
for our living room. Future plans
involve painting our coat of
arms in the dining room, as well
as painting bedrooms.
In November we welcomed
parents and alumni for an open
house and football game. Finally,
we had a major community service event, as many brothers participated in an event called Halloween Funfest. The kids enjoyed the candy and the exciting costumes that we wore.
well as a new sorority on campus,
Delta Delta Delta, which had its
first social function here with us.
CENTRAL MICHIGAN
Our Executive Board has done
a great job of rebuilding and
strengthening our chapter. Our
relationships with the university
and the community have never
been stronger.
Thanks to our annual
fundraising trip to Cedar Point,
we were able to pay off half of our
debt to Delta Chi. With much help
from two of our alumni, Terry
Taylor and Rich Marshal, we
were able to establish an ABT and
House Corporation. Our 12-man
fall 2004 class is the largest class
any of us can remember.

Thanks to Tom Ketterman and

ILLINOIS
This semester is the first time
in over eighty years that we have
not had a house in which to live.
As many of you know, our house
is undergoing a full renovation
that will repair the exterior of the
house and renovate the entire interior. Despite not having a
house, our active members have
continued our philanthropy contributions, brotherhood events
and campus presence.
We have participated in numerous philanthropy events including Delta Gamma Anchor
Splash, Alpha Gamma Delta Water Wars, Camp Alpha Chi and a
charity golf outing hosted by
Gamma Phi Beta. We have also
continued our relationship with
the Swann Special School Center.
Some of our activities with the
Swann School include taking the
children bowling, playing sports
and games, and helping with
their weekend church services.
For many of the events, we invited sororities to come and help,
such as Gamma Phi Beta, Alpha
Chi, and Alpha Delta Gamma.
We have also had some great
brotherhood events this season.
Early in the semester we had a
group tubing event at the
Kikapoo River and a camping
trip at a nearby campground.
We hosted a large homecoming gathering in the front yard of
our house for our alumni following the game. On that Friday,
paired with the women of Alpha
Delta, we entered a float in the
Homecoming parade.
This fall we were especially
proud to have John Fakhoury
elected President of IFC, and Charlie
Bollinger was elected Vice President
of Risk Management.
The entire renovation of the
house exterior has been completed, and the interior renovation is just now beginning. Our
active members are very excited
for the completion of our house
next year and appreciative of our
alumni’s continuing support.
JOHNSTOWN
We started out this year with
a bang and hosted a beach party
and gathered food to benefit the
Johnstown food bank the first
weekend of school. Once again,
on homecoming we had our annual pig roast with the alumni.
We also are continually improving our financial status and plan to
be out of debt in the coming months.
We are proud to declare that we won
Greek week for the third year in a
row and are determined to make it
a fourth, next semester.
KANSAS
We hosted our annual Christmas Party with the women of
Gamma Phi Beta for the children
of the Lawrence Boys and Girls
Club. By providing gifts to the
children we made a holiday that
might not have been otherwise
possible for them. We are also
making preparations to host our
2nd Annual Kaw River Carnival.
Expectations are high, and we
plan to improve upon the success
of last year’s inaugural event. All
proceeds from the carnival will
be donated to our philanthropy,
The Brook Creek Learning Center.
We also participated in the

Alumni relations have also
remained strong. Mark Mitchell

a thirty-year reunion for the
members of his class on November 13 th . Also invited were
alumni from the classes of ’72
through ’76. After brunch and
conversing with the undergraduates, they joined us in attending
the KU vs. Texas football game.
Finally as the semester closed,
we held one of our most anticipated brotherhood events, the
“Secret Santa” gift exchange.
KANSAS STATE
Over 60 brothers and their
dates attended the celebration of
our ten-year anniversary at our
Founder ’s Day banquet. We
hosted Sorority Woman of the
Year, an annual philanthropy that
honors Jim Komatz, who passed
away from leukemia during his
last semester. We were honored
to have numerous guests including: Steve Bossart, the current
“AA”, Jason Butler, the Region IV
Regent, “BB” Emeritus Dr. Alan
Brightman, Former Housing

House Mom Marsha Collins,
House Cook Joann Breault, Warren Mcleod, Aaron Otto “BB”,

We also made it to the semi-finals in intramural soccer for the first
time in the chapter’s existence.
KENT STATE
We will be celebrating our 15th
Anniversary during our spring

members of the International Executive Board to help us make this
a very special occasion.
For the second consecutive
year, one of our brothers has been
elected to the Undergraduate Student Senate. Adam Croweak was
elected Student Relations Senator
and has become an integral part
of a student senate that is mostly
Greek. Croweak has helped to establish Student Legal Services.

Furthermore, several young and
worthy men, who had been spotted as prospective associate members, were handed out bids.
Alpha Sigma Alpha joined us
for a social get together after the
Hay Ride had to be cancelled due
to bad weather. Nevertheless,
they had a great time cooking
marshmallows and making hot
chocolate, along with indoor
games of “Texas Hold’em” and
“Truth and Dare Jenga.”
We won the highest GPA with
an average of 89% this year. Finally, the hard work and sincere
effort that our brothers had collectively put in had borne fruit.
New
scholarship-related
projects regarding study sessions at the house are currently
being discussed.
Our chapter retreat held at
Camp Holaka in Lapeer, MI was
also attended by some of our
alumni. Unfortunately, Mother
Nature wasn’t on our side, and
it rained heavily during the first
night. From then on, card games
and setting up the fireplace were
the two most occupying tasks.
The following day the
brothers set out to explore the
woods and, as expected, were
lost. Finding the way back was
an adventure in itself. The
football game between the
alumni and the brothers was,
as usual, a treat to watch.
LIVINGSTON
Even though our chapter is
small in numbers, we still pack
a very big punch in our school
and our community. In October
we held our annual “Delta Chi
Haunted House,” with proceeds
going to benefit the Sunshine
Kids Mentoring Program. During the haunted house, the fraternity property is turned into a
very scary place through all of
the work that the brothers and
associates do during the month
of October. We also held a softball tournament to benefit St.
Jude’s Children’s Hospital.
Every semester the fraternity
works at the Talladega. The trip
is always a great time with many
great bonding experiences.
We currently hold the championship for Tug-of-War and
Marquette brothers at their annual alumni/active football game.

won many smaller events held
throughout the year. During
intramurals, Delta Chi Team 2
went to the championship game
after defeating all of the top
teams during the regular season.
Their record was 7-3.
During the past year, several
renovations have been made to
the house. These include a fresh
coat of paint on the inside walls,
a new deck, a new volleyball
court, a new meeting table for
the conference room, and, after
Hurricane Ivan’s wrath, new
doors for the front of the house.

Alumni versus Active softball

and fun for everyone.
LOUISIANA TECH
We recently inducted 14 new
members. These new members
helped to kick off our premiere
community service project for
the year involving “The Ruston,
Louisiana Council on Aging.”
An alumnus set up this project
to help teach many local elderly
persons simple computer
knowledge and skills. The program began by acquiring donations of hardware and software
to assemble six computers. Since
then, Delta Chi brothers have
taught two-hour lessons on
email use and general computer
skills each Wednesday evening.
The project has definitely helped
improve the quality of life of some
local senior citizens, and their response has been wonderful.
MARQUETTE
Through our Delta Chi Dollar Days and with the help of our
Vice Regent Mark Schramka’s
“Cuts for Cancer” program, we
have raised nearly $1,000 for
cancer research this semester.
All proceeds from our philanthropy this semester will be donated to the St. Jude Children’s
Research Hospital.
On November 20th we held
our annual alumni/active football game in which the alumni
edged the brothers for the win.
It was an amazing time of brotherhood, as we experienced one
of the best turnouts in years. It
was followed up by an incredibly productive ABT meeting
with the chapter’s new executive
board. This is just one of the
many signs that our alumni are
now taking a more active role in
our development as a chapter.
Several major projects that we
are now working on with our
ABT include a professionally designed
web

www.marquettedeltachi.org,
steal rod iron letters for our
chapter house and getting the
ball rolling financially with completing our chapter room.
MARSHALL COLONY
On behalf of the 35 Founding
Fathers at Marshall University,
we would like to say that it is our
honor to join the “Bond of Delta
Chi”. In just a few short weeks
we gathered an interest group
that grew to be the third largest
fraternity on campus. We have
already carried out community
service projects such as raking
leaves around town and running
a local blood drive. We foresee a
bright and promising future here
at Marshall, and we promise to
do our best to spread the characteristics that make Delta Chi a
successful fraternity.
We are all proud to be brothers of Delta Chi!
MARYLAND
We were chartered in 1990,
and throughout our 15-year history the brothers have lived in
five fraternity houses and apartment complexes. Unlike most
chapters, we have faced the adversity and difficulty of running
a chapter without a steady central location. We are currently in
our third year of renting an offcampus fraternity house that is
in a good location but in very
poor condition. Despite the poor
condition of the house and a limited budget, our chapter boasts
many accomplishments.
In February 2004 we hosted
the largest Region IX Conference
in Delta Chi history and won an
outstanding Regional Conference Award. Since then we have
doubled the size of our House
Corporation, increased alumni
involvement and donations by
50%, and paid off a debt of over
$10,000 to Delta Chi a week before the 54th International Convention in Washington, D.C.
This fall, Nicholas Spiwak received the IFC outstanding Executive Board member award.

Marshall Colony Founding Fathers with Leadership
Consultant Steven Meyer (front, right).
On March 2nd, 2003 Benjamin
Petty passed away from a rare
blood disease his junior year.
The brothers and alumni inducted his father, Philip Petty.
Following his induction, the
brothers, along with Ben’s family and friends, created the nonprofit group called the “Friends
of Ben Foundation.” Last year,
along with the sisters of Zeta Tau
Alpha, we held the first “Bowling for Benji” duckpin bowling
fundraiser for “Friends of Ben.”
We raised over $1,000, and the
money was donated to the
Edmondson –Westview Recreation Council in Baltimore
County in Ben’s honor. By the
end of the spring 2005 semester,
the brothers and the foundation
hope to hold the first annual golf
tournament in Ben’s name. We
are also planning a Greek
dodgeball tournament to raise
money. Money raised from both
events will be donated to Johns
Hopkins Medical Research Center for research on Hemophagocytic Syndrome, the disease that
resulted in Ben’s death.
With our goals set and our
minds focused on improving the
chapter, we expect to grow in
size and spirit. We thank all of
our dedicated alumni and our
“BB” Jose Rodas for their donations and their support.
MIAMI
We are proud to report that
even after winning fourteen
awards at the Delta Chi International Convention, our drive to
improve ourselves and our
house has not slowed down but,
instead, accelerated. Even
though we were overjoyed and
honored by the awards, our
goal is to always improve on
what we have.
Last semester we placed first
out of over 25 fraternities by donating 52 hours of community
service through various activities, but this semester we improved with 106 hours of community service. Our philanthropy, The Delta Chi Broomball
Invitational 2004, was a huge
success as a fundraiser for the
Habitat for Humanity charity,
and we also participated in eight
other philanthropies for charity.
Scholarship continues to be one
of our strongest points, as another one of our members was
honored by being invited to join
the Order of Omega. After placing first in our division in intramural sports last semester, we
are in the midst of another great
season. Our Parents’ Weekend
and Homecoming weekend had
the largest turnout we’ve seen,
and we’d like to thank all who
attended and also all those who
donated. From alumni donations alone we have enough
money to put up a commercial
grade flagpole in remembrance
of our former housemother,
Evelyn. To improve the look of
our house, one of our projects
was to remove the carpet from
the high traffic area of our front
common room. We installed tile,
which really brightens up the
look of our house at the entrance.
With our letters outside and new
spotlights placed on them and
after having our house repainted, we are ready for rush
to begin as we anticipate another great group of quality
gentlemen joining the brotherhood of a lifetime.
Our house has gone through
some major changes in recent
months. The exterior of the
house was given a fresh coat of
paint, and a rock garden is being built on the side of the house.
The interior of the house was not
left out, as every room has been
repainted, and Wiley Moseley
and Lyle Deepe redid the basement floor. We also installed
new lighting and ceiling fans
in the main room. The house
looks great, and we are excited
to show it off to anyone who
wants to stop by.
MISSOURI
We have been very busy
lately, participating in everything that comes our way. The
annual Homecoming traditions
of pomping house decorations,
building a signature float and
providing service to the community once again became important to the chapter. We had an
extravagant experience spending time with the other two
chapters that were involved in
our triad. We are in the process
of revamping the MO-KAN philanthropy that existed between
ourselves and the Kansas Chapter not too long ago. The main
idea of the MO-KAN process is
to run the game ball from the visiting stadium to the home stadium, in either Lawrence or Co-
lumbia, and raise money for
each mile that we cover.
The house has seen renovations to the basement to make it
more appealing, and we re-carpeted the entire house thanks to
donations that were collected
from the parents of every member. We also have had some elegant sofas donated to the upstairs lounge by one of the active
members in the house. We look
to continue building on to the
Missouri Chapter of Delta Chi.
NEW HAVEN
Our Associate Class is bringing with it 12 new brothers, doubling our numbers. The Red
Cross Blood Drive, which we
sponsor each semester on campus, has been a continuing success. We once again exceeded
the projected goal of usable
pints with the support of our
fellow students and faculty.
This was our first year participating in the Penguin Plunge
to aid and support the Special
Olympics of Connecticut. The
freezing cold water was not
enough to stop us, nor lessen
the feeling of satisfaction of
helping those less fortunate.
This year was our 23rd Annual White Carnation semi-formal dance, which was held at
The Inn at Villa Bianca. Over 60
brothers, associates and guests
were present to celebrate with us
to make it a night to remember.

Intramurals went well, with
our volleyball team placing second. Also, during its first year in
existence, our dodgeball team
placed second. Both the football
and soccer teams also did well,
with both making the playoffs.
Continuing with our tradition
of community service, community service chair Anthony
Madrid did a great job organizing and coordinating our Road
Cleanups, River Cleanups, and

again a success.
Finally, the Fraternity is saddened by the recent passing of
our brother, Steven Judd.
Steven was our newly elected
“A” and had a great passion for
Delta Chi. He will be dearly
missed and forever loved.
NORTHEAST MISSOURI
This semester we have not
only seen the addition of five new
brothers to the Bond but also
placed second overall in Homecoming, expanded our social
functions, and incorporated a
huge new philanthropic event
into campus’ Family Day.
Through our new “Community
on the Quad,” we collected do-
nations from local businesses that

Our first annual Mayhem in

it was a week-long event in
which fraternities and sororities
competed to raise the greatest
amount of coins, clothes and
food. The climax of the week was
a Monster Ball tournament. Congratulations to FIJI and Alpha Xi
Delta for winning the men’s and
women’s leagues respectively. In
the end, we were able to donate
about 500 lbs. of food, 500 articles
of clothing, and $500 to the local
Linn-Benton County Food Share.

Homecoming was a total success. With the help of our “BB”,
Jim McCausland, and many others, we were able to have one of
the best alumni turnouts in many
years. There were many new
faces to go along with the ones
we had been used to seeing every year. Everyone had a great
time building the float, watching
the parade, barbecuing in the
park, and attending the formal
Homecoming dance. There
seems to be a newfound energy
within our Chapter. Seeing everyone come together to share
old stories and develop a stronger Brotherhood made this
Homecoming one to remember.

Last fall, the Southwest Missouri State Colony experienced
its largest event to date, our chartering banquet. After being recolonized at SMS two years ago,
the hard work has finally paid

parents and friends all witnessed
the banquet with feelings of joy.

taking numerous first place trophies in intramural sports, not to
mention having the 2nd highest

with a new charter, the chapter
signed a lease for our first house,
held our annual Powder Puff

Fishing means a great deal
to Costner, and it’s not just
about catching fish. For
Costner, a day on the water
fishing means getting closer to
nature, closer to God.
”I feel badly for somebody
who says, `I just don’t get what
fishing is about,’” Costner
says. “I guess you’ve had to
grow up with it or something.”
Strege writes narrative
lead-ins to introduce the various chapters. He talks about
Brad Pitt and the making of
A River Runs Through It, a
shark attack, funny game
warden stories, fishing presidents, practical jokes in fishing and the one that got away.
The tremendous support
from his famous fraternity
brother is not lost on Strege.
”Kevin really gave me the
push I needed to pursue this
one-of-a-kind book,” Strege
says. “Kevin obviously took
great pride and detail in making Dances with Wolves. You
might say Celebrity Fish Talk
is my equivalent, though on
a much smaller scale.”
