SUNY Delhi C ampus ORIENTATION 2010 SPECIAL ORIENTATION ISSUE Voice AUGUST 2010 1 WELCOME to campus If you’re new to campus you may not have heard all the buzz. There has been plenty of excitement and certainly much more to come about the newly renovated Farrell Student and Community Center. The building was erected in 1964 and named for Sheriff Jerome J. Farrell of Walton, NY. Farrell was present when NYS Governor William Sulzer signed the bill to charter SUNY Delhi on May 24, 1913. Farrell was appointed by the Governor to the Board of Visitors at the Delhi Agriculture & Technical Institute. He served the college in this role for many years. For over 40 years, the building has served the campus community in many capacities as the center for student government, clubs, Greek Life, Athletics, food services, commencement ceremonies, theatrical productions, and an impressive list of guest speakers and entertainers ranging from Ralph Nader to U2 and Dave Chappelle. The $20.6 million renovation was made possible through strategic planning and many generous gifts including the 2006 class gift of $10,000, a $300,000 design donated by award-winning architect and alum Douglas Okun and at $10 million State grant secured by Senator John Bonacic. The 18-month transformation of Farrell is sure to be greatly appreciated as students and the community make use of this beautiful multi-use facility. Let’s all enjoy and respect this new gem on campus. WHAT’S INSIDE ARE YOU READY FOR THROWDOWN 2010?

Instead of a “traditional welcome letter,” I thought I’d welcome you with my “Top Ten Tips for Success in College” 10. Go to class, go to class, go to class! It’s hard to believe, but you won’t know what’s going on if you don’t. 9. Check out the brand new Farrell Student & Community Center. We’ve totally renovated this building with lots of input from students, so this building should be a perfect spot for you to eat, meet and greet! 8. Get involved! Students involved in campus activities are happier and more academically successful. Join Hammond, one of her Freshmen a club, attend a concert, volunteer. An excellent way to figure it all out is to attend the Student Activities Seminar students, at the Student Life Fair, September 15, 7-10 pm in Farrell. Leadership Awards in May. 7. Visit the Resnick Learning Center. Lots more than lattes and muffins here. Learn about free tutoring, opportunities to work on campus and much more. 6. Explore the campus. Know the best eateries? The best places to study? Where commuters hang out? Learn the campus so you can own the best spots. 5. Learn about the community. The Village of Delhi is more than the bank and the post office. Take a walk, make note of the businesses that honor “Delhi Downtown Dollars (3D)” where you can buy stuff and charge it to your 3D account. 4. Be healthy. Attend one of the Freshmen Four events covering important topics for freshmen: Campus Safety, How to Get Involved on Campus, Relationships, and Substance Abuse. 3. Make a new friend. With more than 900 first-time, full-time students on campus, your new best friend awaits you. Make an effort to get to know some of the 900—you might make a BFF. 2. Get to know your advisor. Your advisor should be your new best bud. S/he can help you with all things academic. Make visiting your advisor a priority. 1.

ORIENTATION 2010 10 TO: All SUNY Delhi Students FROM: Marty Greenfield, Director of Student Activities John Huber, Assistant Director of Student Activities and Greek Council Advisor DATE: August 2010 SUBJECT: Campus Update on Greek Life We would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to campus and advise you about Greek Life at SUNY Delhi. It is important to know the differences between recognized fraternities and sororities versus the unrecognized ones. First, in an effort to support the recognized Greek Organizations on campus, the College permits first semester pledging. First semester students are permitted to pledge recognized fraternities and sororities each semester after achieving a mid term grade of 2.25 in October. The pledging period is limited to four weeks. Recognized groups must meet minimum academic requirements, must agree to a non-hazing policy, must have an advisor who is a member of the College faculty or staff, must engage in community service, can use college facilities, and participate in many campus wide activities, programs and leadership development activities. Members of recognized groups can also post their leadership experiences on the College’s Co-Curricular Transcript which can be very beneficial for receiving scholarships, awards and for transfer or career opportunities. If students are interested in joining a Greek Organization, we advise that they speak to one of the recognized organizations listed below. RECOGNIZED ORGANIZATIONS: Sororities (female) Fraternities (male) Mu Iota Upsilon Delta Theta Gamma Omicron Xi Omega Tau Delta Chi Pi Nu Epsilon Tau Kappa Epsilon Sigma Omega Epsilon Lambda Iota Upsilon Zeta Delta Tau Delta Omega Epsilon Lambda Alpha Upsilon Co-ed Fraternities (male and female) Upsilon Delta Epsilon Zeta Phi Omega Beta Kappa Xi We strongly advise students against joining an unrecognized organization because they are unregulated, unsupervised, and are often associated with alcohol abuse and related problems and some have engaged in hazing practices. While unrecognized groups by their very nature are in flux, listed below is a list of those organizations we know about. UNRECOGNIZED ORGANIZATIONS: Female Male Omega Xi Delta Omega Delta Iota Sigma Delta Xi Rho Chi Phi Beta Delta Epsilon Theta Rho Delta Lambda Sigma Upsilon Coed Phi Omega Alpha If you have questions about Greek Life, please contact John Huber, Greek Council Advisor the Farrell Student and Community Center or at 746-4567. Best wishes this semester. HAZING HOTLINE 746-4562 IF YOU ARE A VICTIM OF HAZING OR KNOW SOMEONE WHO MAY BE EXPERIENCING HAZING, CALL THE HAZING HOTLINE Callers are asked to include as much detailed information as possible about the incident including the date, time, location, and organization or people involved. While calls can be Anonymous, it is very helpful to successfully investigate hazing if we have a name and contact number of the person reporting the incident for further questions if needed. Come Support the SUNY Delhi Women’s Volleyball Team The SUNY Delhi Women’s Volleyball Team is coming off the strongest season in program history. The team will be entering the 2010 season as the defending Mountain Valley Conference Champions and will look to improve upon their fifth place finish in Region III. The team will be led by an outstanding group of sophomores that includes 2009 Mountain Valley Conference Co-Player of the Year and 1st Team Region III selection Kelsey Pratt, as well as, 3rd Team Region III selection Jackie Bailey. The remainder of this strong class includes Colleen Darby, Sarah Danelli, Kristin Tucker, Monica Mielinis, and Ambrely Ouimette. Please show your support by cheering on the Lady Broncos at our home matches.

S O D U K SUNY DELHI GREAT PLACE TO WORK SUNY Delhi again has been named a ``Great College to Work For,’’ according to The Chronicle of Higher Education. SUNY Delhi is among 97 institutions honored by The Chronicle. The school earned recognitionin three categories for fouryear colleges with enrollments of up to 2,999 students. The categories include professional/ career development programs; compensation and benefits; and respect and appreciation. This is the second consecutive year that the State University College of Technology at Delhi has been named a Great College to Work For after a survey by The Chronicle. “I am very proud that SUNY Delhi is recognized again as a Great College to Work For,” President Candace Vancko said in a media release. “We have outstanding faculty and staff who value the educational environment we have created at SUNY Delhi.” The Chronicle’s survey results are based on a two-part assessment process: an institutional audit that captured demographics and workplace policies from each institution, and a survey administered to faculty, administrators and professional support staff. The primary factor in deciding whether an institution received recognition was the employee feedback. The results are based on a survey of more than 42,000 employees at 277 colleges and universities. “Our faculty and staff love their jobs and see SUNY Delhi as the place where they want to spend their careers,” Director of Administrative Services Bonnie G. Martin said in a media release. “Of all the categories in which we could have been recognized, I am especially pleased that they rate respect and appreciation high on their list.” In announcing 2010’s Great Colleges to Work For, the editors of The Chronicle noted some of the valueadded benefits that are available to the campus community at SUNY Delhi, including gourmet meals at discounted prices and prepared by the college’s award-winning culinary program, as well as specialized care from its veterinary science technology department.
