One of many things that attracted me to join Delta Chi was theirsinging of songs I had no idea existed and the great fun they haddoing it. You must remember that in 1947 most of the members ofthe Kansas Chapter were hardened veterans of World War II. Thesong leaders had excellent voices and everybody tried. The GreekWeek competition included fraternity choruses and we usuallyplaced pretty high. In fact, while I was in the chapter, two of myformer pledge brothers wrote a Sweetheart Song. But song writingin Delta Chi goes back even further.

1901The first compilation of fraternity songs is dated 1901, with the

compliments of Edward C. Nettels, Chicago-Kent ‘99. Nettels wasthe business manager of the Delta Chi Quarterly, (Vol.1, No. 1) April1903. The booklet indicated words and tune but has no music score.

THE GLORY OF DELTA CHI, sung to the air “The Brave Old Oak”was phased out in the song book published by the fraternity in1946. Verse II goes -‘in the days of old, when our fathers bold, To thehills and forests came— At their altar fires kindled high desires in a pureand holy flame. Mid the towering wood, like a stripling stood, Now sohearty and strong and high. Where for ages shall stand, firm united herband, Fraternity, Delta Chi.” And the refrain goes, “Then sing to ourhonored Delta Chi, who stands in her pride alone; And still flourish she,like a hale green tree, When a thousand years have flown.”

THE SONS OF DELTA CHI, sung to the air, “Auld Lang Syne.” Ithas three verses starting, “0 Brothers dear, come gather near, and eachone do his part, to sing a song with mirth and cheer,” etc. The third verseis of interest including “Our mission is to right the wrong Which spiteof Law is done, For which, in days of old, the brave Knight Errant battleswon. So hail to thee, O Delta Chi, Raise high the Buff and Red, — Frater-nity, sublime, thou’lt stand Till Law, itself be dead.” It is included inevery song book except the 1976 Cornerstone.

WE HAPPY DELTA CHI’S, sung to “Any old thing” has threeverses with a chorus. By the 1912 ISSUE of DELTA CHI SONGS it iscalled “WE ARE, WE ARE” and the tune is “The Son of a Gambler.” Itlasted until the 1976 Cornerstone. The first verse and chorus goes,

“When our work on earth is done, And we climb the golden stair, Warmlywelcoming us all, Good Saint Peter we’ll find there. ‘Boys’ he’ll say, ‘Comeright inside, none of you has e’er done wrong.’ As we pass the Pearly GatesWe shall gaily sing this song: ‘We are, We are, We are, We are the Delta Chi,We are, We are, We are, the Delta Chi. So what the ___ do we care, What the____ do we care, We are, We are, We are, We are the Delta Chi.’

THE STEIN ON THE TABLE with five verses, is sung to F. F.Eullard’s “A Stein Song.” The refrain goes, “For it’s always fair weather,When good fellows get together, With a stein on the table and a good songringing clear!” By the 1912 song book it had lost the fourth verse.

1904The second compilation of fraternity songs is not dated but is

probably from around 1904, has the words with the tune indicatedbut again no music score. It is titled DELTA CHI SONGS, compli-ments of the Georgetown Chapter, our 18th chapter chartered in1903 and closed in 1943. It includes SONS OF GEORGETOWN,HURRAH FOR GEORGETOWN, a yell, HE WAS A BOLD BAD MANand a toast, HERE’S TO YOU BROTHER along with old songs from1901, THE STEIN ON THE TABLE, WE HAPPY DELTA CHI’S, THESONS OF DELTA CHI, and new songs:

IN THE GOOD OLD SCHOOL OF LAW, written by Walter K.McIntosh, Chicago-Kent ’03, to the tune of “In The Good Old Sum-mertime” and goes, in three verses, to the chorus which says, “In thegood old school of law, In the good old school of law. Here’s to Alma Materboys, with a loud hurrah—Delta Chi will be our cry and may we neverforget— the years we spent together in the good old school of law.”

SINCE I FIRST MET YOU, sung to the tune “Since I first Met You”from the Sultan of Sulu. It is included in the 1924 song book but isleft out of the 1976 and the recent Cornerstones. It has five versesand goes, #1 “Since I first met you, Since I first met you, In Delta Chi Ilearned to know a friendship new; Sterling manly brothers, Loyal ever true,My throbbing heart can well rejoice, Since I first met you.” #3 “My nosewhich first was lily white, is turned to blue; Breathing distillation, Rye andcorn a few, Bacchus feels his prestige gone.” Finally, #5 “Law has been mymistress——I’ve had others too——She’s been somewhat jealous, Nor haveI been true, I’ve tried to flirt both law and love, Since first I met you.”

HERE’S TO THE FRAT I LOVE was written by William W.“Billie” Bride, Georgetown ’04, a past “AA” and “CC” from 1906-1923. It is sung to the air “Heidelberg” from “The Prince of Pilsen.” Itincludes the chorus toast, “Here’s to the ‘frat’ of sterling worth, Here’sto the flag she flies. Here’s to her sons, the best on earth, Here’s to dearDelta Chis. Here’s to the crowd that’s true as steel-True as the stars above.Honor-her sons will always shield. Here’s to the “frat” I love.” It wasdiscontinued by 1976.

CORNELL, OUR MOTHER CHAPTER was sung to the Cornell“Alma Mater” with words not attributed. It goes, “Far above her rivals,stands fair Delta Chi, At Cornell were first her colors hoisted to the sky. Farabove all other banners, float the Buff and Red, And to many Alma Maters,has her glory spread. Our strong bond can ne’er be broken; it can never die–

Far surpassing friendship common; it will live foraye. And throughout all future ages, as the yearsroll by, Stronger still will grow, and closer, thy fra-ternal tie.” The chorus goes, Lift the chorus, speedit onward, Loud their praises cry; Hail to thee, ourMother Chapter, Hail! fair Delta Chi.” It was dis-continued by 1946.

FAREWELL CORNELL was sung to theair “Mandalay.” It goes, “Here’s my hand toyou, my brother, Before you go away; The parting’snot forever; We will meet again some day. For wehave one place of meeting, All friends in one strongtie, Beneath chapter walls’ safe shelter, in the homeof Delta Chi. Turn your back to dear old Cornell,To the halls we know so well, Where Delta Chi ishonored from the Campus to the Dell. Come you

“DearComrades letour voicesmingle . . . ”

back to Delta Chi, where good fellowship runs high; We are all brothersever in the bonds of Delta Chi.” It lasted until the 1946 book.

A DELTA CHI GIRL’S SONG with words by Mrs. Albert S. Barnes,has three verses, sung to the tune “Auld Lang Syne”. The third versesays, “Then here’s three cheers for Delta Chi We drink a health to thee,Around the cheerful banquet board in great fraternity. For thee, fair mis-tress of our hearts, To toasts we will reply; and e’er, till life and breathdeparts, We’ll cheer for Delta Chi.” It lasted until the 1912 song book.

I find it interesting that they did not include the DELTA CHISONG, which is called THE BOND OF DELTA CHI in the 1912 book.Maybe it was taken for granted that all knew and sang it by then.

1912In 1912 the first real song book included words and music score.

DELTA CHI SONGS compiled and arranged by Herman J.Westwood, Cornell 1897 and printed in Chicago. Westwood wasthe first “EE” of the Fraternity and served from 1894 to 1896. In thepreface, written in 1912 at Fredonia, NY, he says its need has longbeen felt and this booklet is an initial step toward a permanent SongBook of the Fraternity. Its 20 songs include all from 1901 andGeorgetown except SONS OF GEORGETOWN, CORNELL, OURMOTHER CHAPTER, the yell HE WAS ABOLD BAD MAN, the toast HERE’S TO YOUBROTHER, and the song by Mrs. Barnes, ADELTA CHI GIRL’S SONG.

For the first time we find: ALUMNI SONG,with words by Alfred W. Brandt MI ’08, andmusic by Herman W. Kothe MI ’10. “Let ourvoices mingle here though far away yet e’er near,Near to our Alma Mater strong, And to old DeltaChi, Delta Chi. Friend of our youth and collegedays. Better friend now in many ways, We lovemore as years pass by. Therefore we praise youDelta Chi.” It is found only in this group.

BRANDT’S TOAST TO DELTA CHI withwords by A. W. Brandt and music by H. W.Kothe. “There is a toast, There is a toast that welove most. So with a song, So with a song, Let usdrink this whole day long, from morn’ till noon,from noon till night, and then the whole night thru.So here’s to you, Forever and anon, In Delta Chiwe always stand as one, In Delta Chi our hopeswe ground, Bottoms up then, round and round.”This is not included in the 1946 song book.

BAUM’S TOAST TO DELTA CHI, withwords and music by Frank J. Baum, CHI &COR ’03. The first of two verses goes, “We willdrink once again to our brotherhood, So here’s toour own Delta Chi —We cherish thy name and keep guard o’er thy fame Andwill until we die— ’Tis dearer to us than the stars above, So lift up yourglasses on high—And drink long and deep to this toast I propose; Yes, drinkto our own Delta Chi.” This song makes it to the 1976 Cornerstone.

DELTA CHI MARCH written by Frank Baum is the last piece in thebook. It is a rousing tune and I venture it is last because they marchedout with glasses held on high. It is included only in this song book.

A WISH FOR DELTA CHI, written by the Honorable BenjaminD. Tarlton, TX to music adapted from “Lucia di Lammermoor.” Thesecond verse goes, “And so beneath this festive light in bonds of closestamity, We quaff to Thee in goblets bright a pledge of tender fealty; Whate’er the clime, what-e’er the sky, Three cheers for Thee dear Delta Chi,Three cheers for Thee and three times three We shout dear Delta Chi.” AWISH made it to the 1976 Cornerstone.

NEOPHITE, the words and tune not attributed and there is onlyone verse that alludes to hazing during initiation. ‘Nuff said.

HERE’S TO GOOD ALE is adapted from “Little Buttercup” fromH. M. S. Pinafore with words not attributed but with three verses

goes, “In the legal profession, When courts are in session, May Delta Chisalways prevail. But when courts do adjourn to the rear bar we’ll turn andpartake of a mug of good ale.” And the chorus states, “So here’s to goodale, be it ruddy or pale, And here’s to the Delta who first struck it; A mod-erate draught Hurts none who may quaff’t, And a chorus will outlive abucket.” This song is found only in this group.

VIVE LA DELTA CHI, one of my most favorites from college daysis sung to “Vive L’amour” with words not attributed. It goes, in fourshort verses and easy refrain, “Let’s fill up the bumper and quaff thegood cheer. Vive la Delta Chi. Make merry tonight, O comrades dear, Vivela Delta Chi.” The refrain goes, “Vive la, Vive la, Vive la L’amour, etc. andends Vive la Delta Chi.” We still have this one today.

Finally, we see two songs with the words attributed toFounder Peter Schermerhorn Johnson, COR ’91.

DELTA CHI, HURRAH! HURRAH! with the music by P. David ofOxford, England. There are four verses and a chorus. The first goes,“Gather round my brothers bold, Students of the laws of old, Sing a songof other days, Let’s tip a stave in Delta’s praise, Motto of the olden law,Motto of the olden law of Delta Chi Hurrah, Hurrah!” The chorus re-peats, “To Delta Chi, hurrah hurrah, “To Delta Chi, hurrah hurrah, ToDelta Chi hurrah hurrah.” It is not found in the 1946 song book.

FOVENS MATER, sung to the tune, “Alma Mater.” There arethree verses with a chorus. The third says,“Broad and strong are thy foundation—Rear thestructure high in thy sons be honored Mother,Glorious Delta Chi.” And the chorus, “Neverceasing, e’er increasing Loyalty most high, Everthine, O Fovens Mater, Glorious Delta Chi.”

1924The Kansas Chapter had been chartered

in the spring of 1923 and they asked the Head-quarters for some song books. By coincidencethe fraternity in convention in 1923 had re-quested a committee to compile and publisha new Delta Chi Song Book. The new KansasChapter took on this task and in 1924 pro-duced a new song book. The committeemembers were: Richard W. Grant, PAST ’29,Chairman, in 1935 he was the director ofmusic at Penn State. Roland G. R. Rexroth,KS ’29, George B. Arnold, KS ’27, a gradu-ate starting medical school, the charter“A”, and Kansas “BB” from 1925 to 1927,Carl G. Frederick, KS ’25, and Kenneth C.Miller, KS ’24. The book, which cost 50cents, consists of 28 songs with half of them

new. They reviewed the old songs, requested favorite songs ofeach chapter, and staged a contest for a Sweetheart Song, whichwas won by students at the California Chapter.

The old songs included are: The Bond of Delta Chi, A Wish for DeltaChi, The Glory of Delta Chi, The Frat I Love, A Stein Song, Baum’s Toastto Delta Chi, Brandt’s Toast to Delta Chi, Delta Chi, Hurrah! Hurrah!,Fovens Mater, Farewell Cornell, Vive la Delta Chi, Since First I Met You,Here’s to you my Jovial Friend and We Are, We Are.

The new songs include the first sweetheart song, Delta Chi Sweet-heart, Delta Chi Glorious, Hi Hi for Delta Chi, Fraternity of Mine, ThePal of Delta Chi, One, Two, Three, Four, A Delt’s Confession, Dawg Song,The Good Old Colors of Delta Chi, A Cheer for Delta Chi, Delta Chi CrowSong, He’s a Brother in Old Delta Chi, Street Gang, and the University ofChicago Chapter Marching Song.

DELTA CHI SWEETHEART, with lyric by John Donohue, ’24,and melody by Clair DuBois, ’25, both members of the CaliforniaChapter. It was awarded first prize by judges from the music fac-ulty at the University of Kansas. I have no idea how many entriesthere were. It goes, “At night I dream and wonder of a girl I met


one time. A coed fair, a smile so rare, it haunts me all the while, Iwent away commencement day, We parted soon to meet. But yearshave passed and now at last I have but memories. Wonderful girl howI miss you, Your eyes so shining, They keep me pining; And yourkisses filled me With a love that thrilled me No wonder now why Imiss you, I long to live over the time When you and I were together,Oh Delta Chi Sweetheart of mine.” We still sing it today.

DELTA CHI GLORIOUS, words and music by George B. Arnold,KS ’17, M.D. KS ’27, written in 1924. This is another of my favoritesfrom college days and goes, “Delta Chi glorious ever victorious Mayour fraternity be, —Brothers together, dark or fair weather, Delta Chi’sfirst we’ll agree. When school days are ended, Far from our college ourways we’ve wended. Delta Chi glorious, ever victorious, Our dear frater-nity.” It is included in the recent Cornerstones.

The next five songs were written by Samuel A. Johnson of Kan-sas. He was a member of the local fraternity, Sigma Phi Sigma,founded at Kansas in 1912. He graduated in 1916 and is listed as aMember in the History Department Faculty in the 1927 & 1928Jayhawker Annual and was a professor of history at the Kansas StateTeachers College at Emporia, Kansas in 1935.

HI HI FOR DELTA CHI words by S. A. Johnson, music adaptedfrom Tippecanoe and with two verses and a chorus goes, “In oldK. U. there is a frat, A mighty good one too, As jolly a bunch as e’eryou’ll find, With hearts as true as blue. In hail or snow, in rain orblow, They travel right along, They paint things red, They raise thedead, When they sing their Delta Chi song.” Verse II is, “We cel-ebrate until it’s late, With jolly mirth and song.We never frown with taste dark brown, When any-thing goes wrong. Our jolly stunts will cure thedumps, Pray give us just one try, Your moneyback if a smile don’t crack, We’re here to sat-isfy.” And the chorus says, “Hi, Hi, for DeltaChi, Whether we’re drunk or whether we’re dry:Whether we’re glad or whether we’re sad, We’lldrink to the health of the Delta Chi lad. Hi, Hi,for Delta Chi, Keep it up until we die, And whenwe fly the worlds on high, We’ll pledge the door-keeper to Delta Chi.” This song is still sungduring rush at the Kansas Chapter.

FRATERNITY OF MINE, words by S. A.Johnson and tune not indicated. It has threeverses and the first goes, “You ask the frat I love the best, DeltaChi, Oh Delta Chi. The frat that stood thru ev’ry test, Delta Chi, OhDelta Chi. It leads us to the mountain height, and shows the futuregleaming bright, Oh fair it is this frat of mine, Delta Chi, Oh DeltaChi.” It lasted until the 1976 Cornerstone.

ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, with words by S. A. Johnson andmusic adapted from “Bird of Paradise” and goes, “One! Two! Three!Four! Quickly the years fade away, Ein! Zwei! Drei! Vier! Happythe years and gay. Yet though parting, Nothing can sever the tie,That binds our hearts in brotherhood, Dear Delta Chi. —There is afrat, boys, and it is glorious, Its fellowship no one can well deny. Andour dear brothers we’ll love forever, Come boys, let’s sing of DeltaChi. Sing of Delta Chi, the frat we all love, Let’s sing her praises toHeaven above; We’ll do for her and when we leave we will sigh, For allthe good times that we’ve had in Delta Chi.” This song is foundonly in the 1924 song book.

A DELTA CONFESSION, words by S. A. Johnson and music notattributed. This song has eight verses starting as a kid and endingas an alumnus. The last verse goes, “Where e’er I go, what e’er I do, ToDelta Chi I will still be true, For the love of a brother is more dear to me.Than any other thing in all the world could be; *What e’er may happen; tillthe day I die, I will still be true to dear old Delta Chi”. *Repeat twice.This song is found only in the 1924 song book.

DAWG SONG words by S. A. Johnson and music not attributed.This fast tempo tune with five verses lasted until the 1976 Corner-stone. It goes, “I want to join the Delta Chi’s, I think they’re all the cheese,

I want to join the Delta Chi’s, Beneath the whisp’ring trees, I met the dog,I met the cat, the goose too, if you please, and all the while the little dogsilently scrach’d for fleas.” The last verse adds, “I’m glad that I’m aDelta Chi, they’re just as good as gold. I’m glad I joined the Delta Chisbefore I got too old. I’m glad that I’m a Delta Chi beneath the whisp’ringtrees. May the little dog forever-more silently scratch for fleas.”

UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO CHAPTER MARCHING SONG, withlyrics by Rolin D. Hemens, CHI ’21, and William V. Houston, OHST’20, to the tune “Madelon” by Camille Robert. It appeared in thesong books until the 1976 Cornerstone and was back in the 1987 edi-tion, but only the chorus. Its one verse goes, “Come brothers rallyround our Fraternity, —To sing her praises which one and all acclaim.With loyal hearts there we one and all shall be—To aid thee on is our oneand only aim— Always our bond will be the strongest; Always our heartsshall beat for thee—Always thy honor shall be highest As we thy futurenow foresee, We all take up the cry Our song shall never die; So now we liftour voices high to Delta Chi.” The well known chorus goes, “Oh, DeltaChi we proudly look to thee— Onward to press to great and noble fame—And always to thee we’ll loyal be—And that true love can never, neverdie— All thru life for you we’ll carry on— Delta Chi, Delta Chi, DeltaChi.” and repeat the chorus.

THE PAL OF DELTA CHI, words by Charles D. Dimmock,Georgetown ’93, and music by Augustin Borguno. The onlyverse goes, “What a dark old place this world would be, If there wasnot a pal for you and me. They are the ones that really make life worth-while, They are the ones who thru the darkness smile, And to us they

are so dear, That we ever want them near, So let metell to you— Of a pal so true.” And the choruscontinues: “There is a girl I really love, There’sone I am ever dreaming of, Her slumb’rous eyes,like midnight skies, And she’s as true as they areblue. It is her raven hair, —So wonderful be-yond compare, It’s just her smile so sweet—thatmakes happiness complete—And though palsmay come and pals may go, There’s only one palmy heart will ever know, and she is the pal ofDelta Chi.” This effort possibly took secondin the sweetheart contest and this is the onlysong book in which it is found.

THE GOOD OLD COLORS OFDELTA CHI, words and music by Howard

Adamson, NB ’25. It goes slowly with expression, “In ev’rything, someone must win, That’s why we love Delta Chi—So letus sing, and praises ring All hail! the frat of truth and victory”.The chorus continues at Fox-Trot tempo, “and Raise on highthe brimming glasses toast the colors dear Delta Chi—We’ll laudyour praises with a love that is sincere Friendships true—can neversever, We’ll love you forever, The rule we go by is all good fellowsstick together thru the years—We’ll long remember of your uniontrue far or near— At heart we always will be very close to you—For the old buff and red will be ahead, When all is said and whenthe battle’s over we will wave on high—The good old colors of DeltaChi.” This song is left out of the 1946 song book.

A CHEER FOR DELTA CHI, words and music by Floyd HubertCokley, MN ’24, and arranged by Arthur Ward. This is the onlysong book it is in and the words go, “Let’s give a cheer— for dear oldDelta Chi, For dear old Delta Chi let’s cheer; Oh Let us greet—each loyal‘grad’ tonight And make them glad that they are here, Come on Boys! Fol-low in their footsteps bright And let success shine on our brow; We areDelts till life is done, Each and ev’ry one.” A noble and wise sentimenttoo soon forgotten and found only in this song book.

DELTA CHI CROW SONG, word by Joseph H. Colvin, OHST’24. It consists of two verses and a chorus and goes, “There werethree crows sat on a tree, O viva la Delta Chi! O’er looking a State Uni-versity, O viva la Delta Chi! Said one old crow unto his mate a story nowI will relate And they all flapped their wings and cried Chi, Chi, Chi, Andthey all flapped their wings and cried Vive la Delta Chi.” The second

Cheer adopted at Delta Chi’sFirst Convention in 1894:

Delta Rah! Rah!Chi Rah! Rah!

Delta Chi! Delta Chi!Rah! Rah! Rah!


verse goes, “My friends it seems quite clear to me, O vive la Delta Chi!There’s only one Fraternity, O vive la Delta Chi! I need not mention thename of the frat, For all you crows are dead on to that,” Repeat chorus. Isang it a lot at KU but this is the only song book it is in.

HE’S A BROTHER IN OLD DELTA CHI, words and music byHoward C. Adamson, NB ’25. It appears only in the 1924 song book.It goes, “As a rule, it’s hard to tell most frat men apart, They’re much thesame, From foot to brain, But there’s one frat, it’s a real frat, stands out above,That’s Delta Chi, You’ll know him just the minute he goes by, And this is thesimple reason why. If he’s just a wee bit stronger than the others, and is aman that stands out from the rest, — Then it’s a cinch that he’s a loyal brother,Ready to meet ev’ry test; If he plays the game to win and is a winner, and ineach act he does his level best, — It’s a million to one, That he’s a native son –He’s a brother in old Delta Chi.” Now you know why.

STREET GANG, words and music credited to “Pot” Bert, IL. It isonly found in the 1924 song book and goes, “Street gang, we’re the dizzybunch that lives on Street Crazy fussin’ fools, Noted for our dancin’ by ourbig feet! Here we are, there we are, We’re noted near, we’re noted far. Oh, Isay, Did you ever see a bunch, Like the bunch we have for lunch, It’s hunch,there’s a punch in the Street gang, Delta Chi—Hot d__n!” Need I say more?

THE DELTA CHI QUARTERLYMay 1933

Until just recently, the Fraternity did not have a copy of this issueof the Quarterly in its archives. A copy appeared on the Internet atauction and it was purchased. The Editor of the magazine at that timewas Albert S. Tousley, Minnesota ’24. The issue was printed entirelyas a song book and contained 20 Delta Chi songs as well as several ofthe songs of our host institutions at the time. The new songs were:

MEMORIES OF DELTA CHI AND YOU, with words and musicby Herbert C. Grieb, BUF ’24. It goes, “Sitting by the fire, buildingcastles, scheming schemes, Looking at a picture, making plans and dream-ing dreams; Then a vision from the fire, sets me dreaming, heart’s desire:Memories of Delta Chi and you—Memories of happy days I knew – AlmaMater dear to me, Good old friend so near to me, Made the sun shine brighterin the blue—Delta Chi your mem’ry I adore—Each brother I’ll remembermore; In the midst of worldly strife I will cherish all through life memories ofDelta Chi and you.” This song was left out of the 1976 Cornerstone.

DELTA CHI DAD, writer not indicated and sung to the tune “Thereis a Tavern in the Town”, and goes, “Oh when our sons to college go,college go, Just tell them one thing they should know, And say, “My boy,the only Greek you’ll have to learn is Delta, Delta, Delta Chi. Oh theDelta, Delta Chi let it always be your cry; The fraternity your father joinedin days gone by. Adieu, adieu, my boy, adieu, adieu, adieu. Remember itis up to you, up to you, to learn your Greek so well, That you and I mayknow our Delta, Delta Chi.” This song is still used today.

THERE ARE NO DELTA CHIS IN HELL, anonymous. There arethree verses and a chorus. It goes, “Oh, Adam was the first man theDelta Chi’s took in, And Moses was the second man who ever wore the pin,And Socrates the wisest, Although he was a bum And if Julius Caesar’dcome to life, We’d pledge the son-of-a-gun.” Chorus - “Oh, there are noDelta Chi’s in hell boys, - There are no Delta Chi’s in hell. There’s the Phi’sand the Psi’s and the Sigma Chi’s, but there are no Delta Chi’s in hell.”

1946The next song book, the fifth edition, was edited, published and

copyrighted in 1946 by the Fraternity. It contains 20 fraternity songsof which four are heard for the first time. It also contains the favor-ite song of each of the 37 chapters active at the time, none of whichare about the fraternity. The one new song was:

DELTA CHI, lyrics and music by Benjamin F. Swalin, COL ’28.This song is found in song books after 1924 and up to the 1976 Cor-nerstone. It goes, “Delta Chi, Sons of stalwart men, Youth of a nationMay we live by noble deeds, Fellowship and knowledge; May we guide forall mankind our faith in ways of peace. Delta Chi, fraternal spirit, Hope of

a nation, Bring good to those true sons Who serve men’s brotherhood Withlabor, love and peace. Delta Chi, hail! hail! today.” (Editor’s Note: BrotherSwalin went on to become the musical director of the North Carolina Sym-phony from 1939 until his retirement in 1972, and director of the NorthCarolina Symphony Society as well after 1946. He also wrote “Hard Cir-cus Road - The Odyssey of the North Carolina Symphony” whichwas published two years prior to his death in 1989.)

The next available songs are contained at the back of the DeltaChi Cornerstone. The first one I have was compiled and edited byRichard F. Kauders, COR ’69, and published by the Fraternity in1976. It includes only five songs, none new. They are: THE BONDOF DELTA CHI, FOVENS MATER, VIVE LA DELTA CHI, THEREARE NO DELTA CHIS IN HELL, and DELTA CHI SWEETHEART.

1965The 1965 Song Book, published by the Fraternity, contained fif-

teen of the old songs, THE BOND OF DELTA CHI, BAUM’S TOAST;FOVENS MATER; HI, HI FOR DELTA CHI; DELTA CHI GLORI-OUS; DELTA CHI SWEETHEART; (Chicago Chapter) MARCHINGSONG; HE’S A BROTHER IN OLD DELTA CHI; A CHEER FORDELTA CHI; HERE’S TO YOU MY JOVIAL FRIEND; DELTA CHISWEETHEART OF MINE; DAWG SONG; DELTA CHI DAD; THEREARE NO DELTA CHIS IN HELL and VIVE LA DELTA CHI.

1990THE CENTENNIAL EDITION of the Cornerstone, published by

the Fraternity, contained seven old songs, THE BOND OF DELTA CHI,FOVENS MATER, VIVE LA DELTA CHI, THERE ARE NO DELTA CHISIN HELL, DELTA CHI SWEETHEART, DELTA CHI GLORIOUS, (Chi-cago Chapter) MARCHING SONG, DELTA CHI DAD, THE SONSOF DELTA CHI and the Centennial verse to The Bond Song, whichwas written by Marian Hammert, wife of Fred Hammert Oklahoma’60 and “AA” 1985-1987. It goes, “As joyously we raise our glasses, Totoast our founding at Cornell, We forever will remember, Our Brothers in theBond to tell, The century of our proud traditions, That we’ll hold dear untilwe die, And ever promise to be loyal, To thee, our glorious Delta Chi!” Theedition also contained a WHISTLE which was first printed in the DeltaChi Quarterly in May 1909. I’m sure we all practice it a lot.

It appears to me that with this history of our fraternity songs theexpectation of Herman J. Westwood, expressed in the preface of the1912 song book, has been realized. He hoped that, “these early ef-forts would stimulate others to original composition and after theelimination of what proves dross, a permanent song book might bebuilt.” I just hope we haven’t refined the gold too far and lost someof the “good oldies” from the past. Of course, you will note thatalmost all of the drinking songs are gone and none of the obsceneparty songs have ever been included. I just hope that our desire tosing together hasn’t departed along with them.

While doing this research it became obvious that there have beenno new fraternal songs recognized in over 50 years.

Maybe the times have changed, mechanical music has taken overthe do-it-yourself age and we are satisfied with the songs we have.

The 1901 song list included five songs. The Georgetown list in-cluded their alma mater, a yell, a toast, a brag and six new songs.The 1912 song book included 20 songs of which ten were new. The1924 song book included 28 songs of which 14 were new. The 1946song book contained 20 songs of which four were first timers andthis was the end of the new songs. Since then the collection of 40original songs has shrunk to only seven songs and a whistle.

I surely do notice that during my attendance at various chapter,regional and international meetings of the fraternity a decided ab-sence of singing and a certain inability to follow the words and tunewhen an effort is made to sing. I feel we are all the poorer for ourloss of this brotherhood builder and would welcome efforts to cor-rect this omission. Perchance we might propose a new Delta Chi

CAMPUS FEATURETTES

Welcome again to the 1st annual Delta Chi Parents’ Weekend. Ithink that it’s important for you to understand what Delta Chi meansto me, to your son, and to all of us on a more personal level. The ideaof fraternity life and Greek life in general can be somewhat mystical.It can be a very difficult experience to explain to someone who hasnever experienced it. It was probably down right scary to many ofyou when your son told you that he was joining a fraternity. It cer-tainly was to my parents. This was a common conversation betweenmy mom and me after I joined:

Mom: So what are they doing to you?Me: Nothing.Mom: You’re sure they’re not making you drink a lot?Me: No. Honestly Ma, we don’t haze. It’s one of ourfounding principles.Mom: Alright, so what are they doing to you?

Before I start, I must take you back to why I joined Delta Chi in thefirst place. Arriving as a new freshman at Georgia Tech three yearsago, I did know that Greek life was for me. It was just a matter ofchoosing the right place. When people asked me what I was lookingfor in a fraternity, I said, “A group of nice guys who can be kind ofserious during the week so that I can get my work done, but whoknow how to have a good time when the weekend comes.” I thoughtthat was a pretty good answer for a freshman. It’s hard to be veryspecific when you really can’t understand the concept of fraternityuntil you join one. Joining a group of nice, friendly guys was veryimportant to me. I had heard a lot about the stereotypical fraternityjerk/alcoholic and wasn’t interested in joining that kind of group.

It took me a long time to make up my mind. I had narrowed mychoices down to Delta Chi and one other fraternity that fit my criteria.Several things had impressed me about Delta Chi. The four foundingprinciples of “No hazing,” “School comes first,” “Friends are alwayswelcome,” and “Chivalry is not dead” spoke exactly to what I thoughta fraternity should be. Just like now, there were some very impres-sive brothers here then. The student body president, who later re-ceived the honor of being named, “Mr. Georgia Tech,” was a DeltaChi. The editor of the campus newspaper was a Delta Chi. The presi-dent of the campus leadership honor society was a Delta Chi.

One of the aspects of fraternity life that we wanted to emphasize thisyear was philanthropic activity. This past semester provided us all achance to participate in community involvement, and to see exactlywhat we could do if we came together as a group.

October was Lupus Awareness Month, which we adopted as oneof our official philanthropic causes. We embarked on an ambitiousinformation dissemination and fundraising campaign within the cam-pus community. Thanks to the efforts of the chapter, we did createawareness on campus about lupus and raised a sizable donation forthe Lupus Foundation of Alberta.

Next, on Halloween, many of our members dressed as UNICEFboxes and went to various establishments in the city, collecting moneyfor UNICEF (and having a great time in the process).

Finally, in November, we had our major fall event. Along with theladies of Kappa Alpha Theta, we organized the We Want Your Pantsclothing drive. What started off slowly, snowballed into a major eventon campus as two radio stations and the two major newspapers car-ried stories about our event. Thanks to this amazing exposure, thegenerous support of the campus, and the hard work of the two chap-ters, we collected 150 large garbage bags of clothing to be donated toa youth shelter, women’s shelter and inner city drop-in center.

Alberta—Giving of ourselves

In September, the brothers of Delta Chi at Duquesne put on our an-nual Carnival Show during Duquesne’s Homecoming Weekend. Eachyear, one fraternity and one sorority team up to put on a play/musi-cal to entertain students, faculty, and alumni. While some of the otherfraternity/sorority pairs do serious, dramatic skits, we at the DuquesneChapter have a tradition of putting on a comedy each year to providesome humor to our audience. This year, we put on a skit with thesisters of Sigma Sigma Sigma called “The Worst Show Ever,” whichwas a play about several fraternity and sorority members sittingaround trying to decide what their theme for the Carnival Show willbe this year. When several ideas fail, the students decide on making aplay about some of the “Worst” events that happen in everyday life,such as “The Worst Date Ever,” and “The Worst Job Ever.” Our skithad audience members in hysterics and, as in previous years, our chap-ter won both the “Best Comedy” and “Best Male Vocal” awards.

At the close of spring semester ’99 we received the academic rankingsof the fraternities on campus. We found ourselves in a less than desir-able position, which led us to a long process of evaluation and re-vamping. The process began with a call to the Greek Affairs Officeand a visit to the Delta Chi Web Page. After we had accumulated animpressive amount of information on scholarship programming fromthese two resources, we began to pick out ideas that would be advan-tageous to us. The first step was to begin generating a scholastic at-mosphere. We cleaned up the house study room, obtained a new com-puter with internet access, and posted fliers containing “study tips.”Following those improvements, we implemented an “associate mem-ber/active member mentor program.” In this program, an associatemember was paired with an active of the same major. The mentorwas available to answer questions, and to provide help and encour-agement to the associate member. The results of these efforts wereimpressive. We rose five places in the academic ranking for fraterni-ties. In addition, our semester GPA rose nearly a quarter of a pointfrom the close of spring ’99. We continue to make improvements tothis program, so as to ensure consistent success.

Gannon Supports Second Mr. GuOn December 3, 1999 the third annual Mr. & Mrs. Gu contest washeld. Adam Griffith represented Delta Chi in the contest. Therewere three parts to the competition: formal wear, talent and ques-tion and answer. With the overwhelming crowd support and gen-erous donations from the chapter, Adam became Mr. Gu. Since theMr. Gu. Contest was started Delta Chi has won it twice, we alsohave won crowd support and donations all three years. As one cansee the chapter supports each other as well as the community.

Georgia Moves into New HouseWith a steady increase in membership over the past years, the

we have turned months of hard work and dedication into a greataccomplishment. With the turn of the year, the chapter has movedinto a new house, which will undoubtedly continue the trend ofgrowing prominence here on campus. The new house is undergo-ing many renovations right now, each benefitting the chapter im-mensely. There are presently 11 bedrooms in the house, and in thecoming semesters the number of brothers living there will be up to17. We have made great progress in recent years, and this housewill greatly impact the lives of all the brothers.

Georgia Tech Message toParents


Still, I had a hard time making my deci-sion. The principle that “Chivalry is not dead”would end up being the turning point for me.I remember many small things that impressedme about these guys. At a party I went tobefore I joined, a room was full of people whena girl entered the room. Without saying aword, a brother got out of his seat and movedto the kitchen so that she could sit down. Ithought, “Wow that’s pretty cool. I guessthese guys do believe in chivalry.” My friendsin high school probably would have laughedat how the girl had no place to sit. Delta Chiwas known as the nice guys on campus, theguys that treated women with respect.

Seeing that I was close to making my deci-sion but still unsure, Taylor Hirose talked tome one-on-one. The previous year, he haddecided between the same two fraternities.Speaking about his decision, he said, “CouldI have had a good time if I had joined the otherguys? Yes. Would I have had a good time?Yes. They know how to party; they’refriendly; they’re cool guys. But Delta Chi hasthat too. When I made my decision, I thoughtabout what type of person I wanted to be andhow I wanted to change in four years. Itwould be easy to go through college and partyall the time and not worry about anything. Icould do that with any group. But by joiningDelta Chi, I thought that I could become abetter man.” Bingo! That was what I neededto hear. The more I thought about it, the more Iagreed. I wanted to be more like these guys. Iwanted opening doors, pulling out chairs and,more importantly, being considerate of otherpeople to come naturally to me. I wanted tobe one of the guys whogive back to the cam-pus through involvement in many activitiesoutside of Delta Chi. The guys in this frater-nity seemed to be not only involved, but alsoleaders in every campus activity. Most im-portantly, I wanted to be a better man.

Which brings me to now... three years later,can I say that Delta Chi has made me a betterperson? Honestly, yes, without doubt. Thepeople who one surrounds themself withhave a strong influence on the type of personthey become. I am so proud to have sur-rounded myself with these guys. Well... it’sreal easy to say that I’m a better man for hav-ing joined Delta Chi, but you’d probably liketo hear some specifics as to how I’ve changed.First and foremost, yes, I now open doors, pullout chairs, give up my seat, and do all thatgood stuff that I never thought of doing inhigh school. Compassion, truly caring aboutothers and putting their interests above yourown, is one of the most important things I’vegained from Delta Chi.

Second, the brothers I met in Delta Chi in-spired me to take on campus leadership rolesin a wide range of activities. One of the thingsthat attracted me to the group in the first placewas the broad scope with which the guysseemed to approach Greek life and life atGeorgia Tech. In so many other fraternities,fraternity is the only thing guys do. Theirscope is limited to that of their brothers andcan become quite narrow indeed. You are ex-pected to spend so much time in the frater-nity that there is little time for other endeav-

ors. Delta Chi truly encourages members togo outside of the fraternity. New membersare required to become involved in at leastone outside campus activity. For me, that onequickly became five, ten, and more. Throughthe outside involvement that Delta Chi en-couraged, I’ve had the chance to make friendsfrom all over campus, to learn about leader-ship and then teach those skills to others, toinfluence people’s lives, and finally, to feeltruly connected to this campus. How else hasDelta Chi changed me? I’m definitely lessshallow. Delta Chi has taught me to judgepeople by their character, to search for what’sinside rather than what’s on the surface. Ev-ery term during rush, we’re forced to ask our-selves what we’re looking for in a Delta Chi.When I first joined, I probably would havesaid, “well, he’s gotta be cool and have theright look. If he passes that, then we’ll seewhat else he’s got.” Now I’d give a ratherdifferent answer. I now look for guys whoare genuine, compassionate, of strong char-acter, and capable of always acting as a gentle-man. The look doesn’t matter. It’s what’s in-side that counts. Delta Chi has truly chal-lenged me to rethink the way I look at people.

Finally, the bond of brotherhood has hadan indelible mark on my life. I must prefacethis by saying that I did not always feel astrong bond here. I was unsure of my deci-sion for more than a year. Delta Chi was origi-nally not one of my top priorities. As a result,I didn’t spend much time meeting guys; Imissed a lot of events, and hardly put any timeor effort into the fraternity. I knew most guysat only a surface level, and while I respectedthem as people, the bond was so superficialthat it was difficult for me to call them mybrothers. So more than a year after joiningbut never really giving much effort, I was onthe brink of dropping out. Delta Chi had somegreat guys, but I didn’t feel the strong bondfor which I had hoped.

Teetering on the edge, I decided to take adifferent approach. Rather than sayinggoodbye, I decided to say hello. I decided totake on more responsibility, become more in-volved, and help cause positive change in thefraternity. At the end of that school year, Itook on the role of brotherhood chair so that Icould force the bond to grow stronger withinme and all members of the group. I tried toplan retreats where we could learn about eachother on a deep level, where we could shareour innermost feelings, being at once vulner-able, yet learning who we really are and learn-ing who our brothers really are as people.When I became more involved and I gavemore of myself to Delta Chi, it meant more tome. It began to mean everything to me. That

is why your sons spend so much of their time,dedicate so much of themselves to this group.We become brothers when we work together,when we give of ourselves to reach towards acommon goal. My most memorable momentsin Delta Chi: I remember spending all day ty-ing down bamboo for a party alongside 20 ofmy brothers because we wanted our house tolook better than ever. I remember when GregScherrer stayed up with me almost all nightto help me finish my EE homework. I remem-ber staying until the end of a 7-hour electionsmeeting because we all felt that the future ofour fraternity was very important. I remem-ber so many great conversations while vol-unteering with my brothers at a night shelter.I remember a conversation at a brotherhoodretreat with Taylor and James that lasted un-til some ungodly hour and could have goneon for much longer. We were revealing somuch about who we were to each other thatwe could have continued forever. I remem-ber being brought to the edge of tears whensomeone who I truly believed in decided tojoin Delta Chi. I remember shedding tearswhen the fraternity faced an extremely toughdecision that forced us to question everythingfor which we stood. So many times, DeltaChi has challenged me to rethink my opin-ions about it, about me, and about life. I havelearned so much, I have grown, and I’vehelped my brothers grow alongside me. Icould never regret this decision.

It is scary to me to think that I was so closeto not joining in the first place and then soclose to leaving before I ever understood whatbrotherhood is. I would hate to think abouthaving missed out on any of the dozens ofmoments I’ve cherished here; any of the manyexperiences that have been life epiphanies forme. Your son has chosen a great group to bea part of. I can say without doubt that DeltaChi is the brotherhood of a lifetime.

Sincerely,Rajiv Saigal ‘00, “B”

The principle that“Chivalry is not dead”would end up being the

turning point for me.

When one of our own shines on the ath-letic court we are happy to cheer him on, butwhen two of them do it we become en-thralled with their achievements. Both onthe basketball court and hockey rink ourbrothers excel. Robert Pisanelli is currentlyfourth in all time school history for scoringin basketball and Travis Finkle is the all timeleading scorer in hockey.

On the court, Pisanelli has been know todazzle spectators with his shooting clinic.Averaging 24 points per game, he is well onhis way to becoming number one in therecord books. As an All-American candidateand senior captain Rob credits his teammatesfor his success. When asked about therecords he just replied, “I play to win, thepoints are secondary.”

Travis Finkle just giggled when askedabout breaking the scoring record and mod-estly said he knew nothing about it. “It’s justa game I play when I am bored.” he re-


We and Alpha Chi Omega bought presentsfor 50 Lawrence youth and threw a holidayparty for Big Brothers/Big Sisters from 6-7:30, on Wednesday, December 1, at AlphaChi Omega. Each house budgeted about$300, and bought gifts for 25 children. As acharitable contribution, Wal-Mart gave us a$30 discount. The children received num-bers at the door, and at 6:30 they got to pickfrom the presents in order. After that, weplayed with the kids and their new toys, andfinished the evening with cookies andChristmas carols. About 30 men attended.The party represented the Big Brothers/BigSisters’ monthly event for December.

IllinoisPhilanthropies

We have started our philanthropies offwith a bang this semester! Our first commu-nity philanthropy program involved partici-pation in the “Homeless Awareness Mara-thon” which consisted of voluntarily sleep-ing outside of a residence hall on campus withthe homeless in an effort to rally an increasedawareness of the homeless and their condi-tions. Participants were interviewed by manynews groups, which helped raise awareness,and also helped increase the contribution offoodstuffs for the homeless in our area.

Our second community philanthropyprogram involved volunteer work for a non-profit young actors group known as “ThePrairie Players.” For this, we simply helpedbuild their stage, served as waiters duringtheir performances, and later cleaned up theauditorium and stage.

We are currently working on building ahouse for a needy family of ten who havebeen living in the streets. The home will bebuilt through the conversion of a garage thatis no longer being used. Americore has beengenerous enough to provide us with all thenecessary tools and building supplies for thisproject. Our future philanthropy plans areto organize and establish a Greek-widefundraiser, an annual event, to begin and aidin the construction of a new shelter forwomen and children. Our goal is to raisetwo million dollars or more so that the shel-ter can become a reality for the women andchildren who need it most.

At the close of the fall term our chaptercommitted alcohol and hazing violationsboth of which are against Delta Chi as wellas the University of Iowa policies. On Janu-ary 19, 2000, Delta Chi placed our chapteron Level V Corrective Action due to theseactivities. In addition, the university re-voked recognition of the chapter until Janu-ary 5, 2001. In response to the above correc-tive actions, the Iowa Chapter filed an ap-peal with both the university and the Fra-

ternity. As a result, the Level V CorrectiveAction was reduced to an “Operating Char-ter Suspension.” We have been placed un-der Conservatorship until February 7, 2001.Chapter officials have met several times withthe university administration and have suc-cessfully reduced our suspension of recogni-tion from January 5, 2001 to July 15, 2000.Stemming from these violations, the chapterconducted a membership review resulting in23 members choosing to go voluntarily inac-tive. These members have no contact withthe active chapter and are prohibited from at-tending chapter-sponsored activities and en-tering the chapter house.

We had started the fall term with 51 ac-tive members and currently have 21. Thetrue Delta Chis throughout our reorganiza-tion are those who remain as active mem-bers. Those remaining members could haveeasily chosen to walk away from the chap-ter, but instead have devoted an incredibleamount of time and energy to rebuilding thechapter. We will most likely be criticized forputting the chapter in the position that it isnow in, although we had little or no part inthe decision-making process that led to theviolations. We have committed ourselves totremendous amounts of work that we havelittle knowledge of how to deal with, buthave reached out for help from outsidesources including alumni, Delta Chi Head-quarters, and the University of Iowa.

A New Beginningat Iowa

Kansas ThrowsChristmas Party for Kids


It has been tradition of the chapter formany years now, that we have an active vs.alumni football game before the Super Bowl.It is the biggest alumni relations event thatthe chapter has and is looked forward to byall. In recent years it has taken new mean-ing for our chapter. Gary Hugunin ’91(“Grizz”), one of the founders of the tradi-tion, lost his life in a car accident three yearsago. In memory of Grizz, our active-alumnifootball game is now referred to as “THEGRIZZ BOWL.” This year, Chris Hugunin’91 and friends Dave Kleinbeck and LouieWingo among others presented to the chap-ter, “THE GRIZZ BOWL” trophy. The tro-phy was a treat for all and will reside on themantle at our house. It stands out from theothers. With the presentation this year thealumni had a lot of emotion and momentumgoing into the game. The field was coveredwith six inches of snow and the temperaturewas in the teens, perfect conditions for a win-ter classic. The actives knew that they werein for a battle against the oversized alumnibut underestimated their newly gainedspeed. The first three possessions by theactives resulted in two interceptions and onefumble all resulting in touchdowns for thealumni. After many bruises, sore bodies, andone sprained ankle for the actives, the gamecame to a merciful end with the alumni domi-nating 52 to 2. All in all, the day’s activitieswere enjoyed by all, though a bad taste wasleft in the mouths of the actives craving fornext year’s highly anticipated rematch.

One hundred and ten years ago, elevenmen, “Believing that great advantages wereto be derived from a brotherhood of collegeand University men,” sat down and createdour fraternity. Ten years ago a similar groupof men adopted their ideas to form the KentState Chapter of Delta Chi. This April wecelebrated both of these events at the 2000formal at the Fairlawn Ohio Holiday Inn.What better way to celebrate the Bond andbring in the new millennium! Happy tenthBirthday Kent State Chapter!!!

It was a hot summer day when our chap-ter of 20 brothers braved the heat in order tospend quality brotherhood time together andto show the Flint community what we wereall about. On the morning of August 7, 1999,we set out on an 8K walk through the streets

Marathon atKettering - A

of Flint for the Crim Festival of Races. Carrying our Cornerstones, we sang Delta Chi songs,among others, while wearing our dark rush shirts.

Needless to say, our black shirts and the bright sunshine didn’t mix but we receivedrelief when generous spectators sprayed us with hoses. A few sore feet, and countlesssunburns later, we were able to finish the race in a blistering 1 hour and 50 minutes. The daywas finally capped off with a downtown celebration in Flint with food, drink and music. Wehope to make this an annual Delta Chi Brotherhood event. See you at the races!

Lindenwood Colony Gives Back to the CommunityWe would like to let all the brothers know that we have arrived. On October 8, the

Founding Fathers of the Lindenwood Colony were initiated into the Bond. We’re lookingforward to a bright and successful tradition at Lindenwood University. To kindle the Bondof Delta Chi, many brothers went to Christian Life Services to wrap Christmas presents forhomeless families. The Lindenwood Colony plans to continue working toward a betterfuture for all by working closely with Christian Life Services to help the community’s home-less. This semester we are kicking off rush with a search for men who want to give back tothe community and carry on the tradition of the men of Delta Chi.

This past Halloween, we held our an-nual Delta Chi haunted house to raisemoney for our philanthropy, the Sheriff’sBoys and Girls Ranch. We were assistedby Zeta Tau Alpha Sorority, the secondyear in a row they have co-sponsored thehaunted house with us. Everyone in thecommunity always looks forward to ourhaunted house, and this year was no ex-ception. We opened the house threenights, Friday through Sunday, andwatched as over 1,000 people were thor-oughly scared as they took the thirtyminute tour. The brothers always enjoydressing up as their favorite ghoul orchainsaw-wielding psycho, and this yearwas no different. The haunted house isalso a great brotherhood event, as wespent countless hours working together inthe weeks prior to Halloween to ensurethat our tradition of having the besthaunted house would carry on. By theend of the weekend, we raised enoughmoney to donate $3500 dollars to theSheriff’s Boys and Girls Ranch of Missis-sippi. No matter how much fun we haveduring haunted house, it doesn’t compareto the feeling we get knowing that wehave helped make these young boys’ andgirls’ lives a little happier.

The chapter at MU has recently under-gone some dramatic improvements regard-ing the physical structure and interior of ourhouse. In addition to the recently remod-eled television room, our ABT has given usthe green light to give our Alumni Room amuch need face-lift.

With the addition of new carpet, ceilingtiles, furniture and repainted walls, the newAlumni Room is consistent with the rest of

Fall was one filled with progress for DeltaChi at Maryland. As a result of operatingwithout a central structure for the past fewsemesters, the brotherhood has become closerthan ever. Last November we embarked on aweekend journey filled with adventure andamusement that will never be forgotten.

Located in Western Pennsylvania, theOhiopyle River served as the setting for twodays of outdoor excitement. Although the tripwas originally planned as simply a get awayfrom the stress filled atmosphere of CollegePark, it served as a great tool in strengthen-ing the brotherhood. Saturday proved to beone of the most productive days of the semes-ter in terms of goal setting and useful discus-sions concerning the fraternity. Camping in atorrential downpour, we found ourselveshuddled under a makeshift tent. The thirtyof us passed the time by talking about impor-tant issues related to the future of this broth-erhood and how we plan on making it hap-pen. As Sunday approached the focus beganturning towards our date with the river.

Maryland Chapter Lives Up ToThe Challenge

Miami House Gets New Look

With the weather conditions slowly im-proving during the early morning hours, webegan preparing for our thrill ride. Shortlyafter attending a quick crash course on whatto expect out in the water, we got in the wa-ter and started the fun. With rapids that wereclassified in the range of 3 to 4 (on a scale of1 to 5), the Ohiopyle obliged in making theadventure everything we thought it wouldbe. There was a smile on the face of eachbrother after we returned to dry land.

For the 30 of us who were able to attendthis brotherhood outing, I can speak for allof us by saying that we will never forget it.The things we learned that weekend will donothing but aid us in our attempt to buildthis brotherhood into nothing but the best.As the old cliche goes “there’s a time and aplace for everything,” and in college there isa time for hard work and a time for havingfun. In this case, working side by side withbrothers and having fun went hand and hand.I think we can all look back on this experi-ence with nothing but positive memories.

We decided to start off the new year by improving and expanding our relationship withfellow alumni through the use of the Internet. Starting with only a handful of e-mail ad-dresses we have now expanded our total close to three hundred names in only one semes-ter. Also through the use of alumni events such as the Delta Chi Alumni Golf Outing, wehave been able to increase contacts, which is great for both alumni and actives alike. Thisyear’s Golf Outing was a drastic change from years past. With early planning and also throughthe donations of many individuals we were able to enjoy the company of nearly 50 alumni asa great day of golfing and memories was shared by all who attended. An Alumni Dinnerwrapped up the day’s activities and prizes were handed out for those who participated.

Through the help of Jason Robinson ’99, the chapter is currently creating a web page,which we encourage all Michigan State Delta Chi’s to look at and also those who wish tolearn more about our chapter. The web site can be located at www.msu.edu/user/deltachiand will contain the e-mail addresses of alumni, information about our house, pictures,and also an alumni donation form. Any Michigan State Delta Chi alumnus who would liketo be included on the list serve should send an e-mail to “[email protected]”. We hopethat we can continue with our progress and keep on making strides to prove that Delta Chitruly is the brotherhood of a lifetime.

our recent projects that are designed to bringour chapter house into the millennium. Mostinfluential of all of these projects is the in-stallation of Ethernet throughout our house,spearheaded by Adam Thomas.

All of these projects, along with the im-provements each brother has made to theirown personal rooms, are collectively givingthe house a new look, and the chapter itself anew outlook. The constant feeling of changeassociated with these projects has permeatedinto every other facet of the fraternity life, andis leading us to success as a chapter.

Our house hasn’t looked this good in along time. In 1999, with the help of a fewdedicated alumni, we finally came to anagreement with the university, whichowns our house, to begin some long over-due repairs. Last semester the outside ofthe house was repainted and the front pil-lars, which had suffered termite damage,were repaired. Then, over winter break,the inside of the house was repainted andre-carpeted.

At long last, the time had indeed arrived. Oc-tober 23, 1999 is a date that will forever remainglorious in the minds of everyone who have giventheir hearts and souls to bring the Brotherhoodof Delta Chi to the banks of the Raritan River atRutgers University. Never has there been a timethat exemplified to all of us the bond of Delta Chithan that evening’s chartering banquet, wherewe were joined in celebration and commemora-tion of our fraternity’s 3 year history at Rutgersas “AA” Bill Williams, Gannon ’83, and Re-gent Kenneth Sousa, Bryant Faculty, presentedus with that which we had so diligently soughtto obtain since our inception: our charter.

The setting was a splendid and elegant ball-room at the Doubletree Hotel in Somerset, NewJersey, a most fitting venue for our charteringbanquet. It was in this very location, 3 years be-fore the occasion, that Jaceryll de Chavez ’99and Richard Malek ’98 had a fateful meetingwith Regent Kenneth Sousa to ensure an endur-ing and prosperous future for what was thenknown as the Rutgers Colony of Delta Chi. Thecolony’s early history was one wrought withmany struggles and stumbling blocks lining thelong, hard road to our chartering. Our frater-nity had experienced large-scale inactivity fol-lowing its first semester at Rutgers in 1996, andoutsiders would have speculated that the colonywas on the verge of collapse. However, the broth-ers who remained never gave up hope on theirdream under construction. In a most eloquentand deeply moving speech given by Jaceryll deChavez at the banquet, even those brothers whowere still in high school at the time were trans-ported back by his words to the early days of the

colony. He described so poignantly what it waslike to watch a colony beginning with forty-onebrothers to bear witness to thirty becoming inac-tive, as a result of a most unfortunate and tryingturn of events. This man, who exemplifies deter-mination, was never going to let our belovedDelta Chi fade away. During the fall of 1996, thefraternity managed to recruit a single associatemember, a man who would embody all of thequalities associated with Delta Chi rising fromits ashes like a fiery red and buff phoenix. Thisman was none other than James Dunne ’99 whowould become one of the greatest leaders our chap-ter would ever know. His extensive involvementwith our fraternity and the entire university com-munity as well serve as a shining example to allof our brothers. In the following semesters, thecolony became increasingly stronger, recruitingambitious and dedicated men to share in its dreamof becoming a chapter. Our colony knew that thetime was indeed at hand, and we were grantedthe opportunity to make our chartering presen-tation at the Connecticut Regional LeadershipConference in 1998, which one member on thereview panel called “The best chartering presen-tation that I had ever seen.” One year later, atthe 1999 Regional Leadership Conference at theUniversity of Massachusetts, our brothers in at-tendance were ecstatic when Sousa had an-nounced that our charter has been granted, andwill be bestowed upon us at this very charteringbanquet in October. Needless to say, this day wastruly the pinnacle of what Delta Chi means inall of our hearts.

We would like to thank Allan Schwager, our“BB”, who has committed a lot of his time to help-

ing our chapter grow and prosper, by allowingus to hold crucial executive board meetings inhis restaurant in Princeton, NJ. Despite his busyschedule, he always makes a concerted effort toassist our chapter. We would also like to give ourmost heartfelt thanks to Glenn Gnirrep, a SigmaPhi Epsilon alumnus who has served as ourAlumni Board of Trustees President and Chap-ter Advisor. We thank him for his innumerablecontributions to our chapter, which we considerto be the most outstanding gesture ofinterfraternalism that we have ever known. Mr.Gnirrep has advised and counseled us in everyarea of chapter management, and continues to bethere for us every step of the way. His extensiveexperience with fraternities has without a doubtbeen invaluable to us as we continue to become astronger brotherhood with the passing of each day.Our deepest regards go to our Faculty Advisor,Father Kieran Fergus, who comes to every chap-ter, ABT, and executive board meeting to sharehis sagacious wisdom as an inspiration to all ofus. His experience as a Faculty Advisor to fra-ternities at different colleges and universities istruly paramount. Also at the banquet were deeplymoving speeches given by Regent Kenneth Sousaand “AA” Bill Williams. We thank both of thesededicated men from the bottom of our hearts fortheir undying devotion to Delta Chi that inspireus all to achieve our goal in becoming the mostprominent fraternity on campus. Without theirincredible support, our chartering would neverhave been possible. We definitely hold in thehighest esteem all of our past Executive Boardofficers, especially past “A” Frank Rendino’00, who have given 110% to driving our chap-ter in a fruitful and positive direction. Last,but certainly not least, we greatly appreciatethe assistance of Leadership Consultants ToddBarrish and Joe Burak, who helped us set thegoals we needed to achieve to help us arrive atwhere we are today and beyond.

Rutgers Chartering:Simply Unforgettable


The BIG EVENT was held the evening of April 15,2000 at the Westshore Marriott Hotel in Tampa, Floridastarting at 7:00 pm, when the doors of the banquet roomwere opened to reveal the head table and numerouscircular tables decorated with white carnations. Themembers and their dates were in formal dress as weremany of the members’ parents and our alumni.

Master of Ceremonies Randy Moss ’99 opened thefestivities by asking colony “BB” Dr. Underwood tooffer an invocation. Randy then introduced the peopleat the head table. Next, he introduced the first “A” ofthe colony, Josh Anderson ’99, who had the colony of-ficers stand and be recognized.

Following a fine dinner, elegantly served, Randycalled on the president of the ABT, Russell Driscoll Il-linois ’57, to present the members who serve on thatboard and to describe some of the plans that are under-way, especially toward housing the chapter.

Our Regent, Bert Kelly, Troy State ’89, was intro-duced and gave brief but effusive praise for the suc-cess of the colony. Colony “A” Eric Ross ’00 recog-nized special guests from the community. He intro-duced our Keynote Speaker, U. S. Congressman JohnMica, Florida ’67 who told of his experiences as an un-dergraduate member and stated that Delta Chi had pro-vided a basis for his success. It was clear to all in at-tendance that Delta Chis is truly the “Brotherhood of aLifetime” for him.

Eric then introduced our immediate past “AA”, PaulBohlman, Ohio State ’70, who after short remarks andon behalf of the Fraternity, presented a beautifullyframed picture of our Spiritual Founder, Sir EdwardCoke, to the soon-to-be chapter.

Then came the moment of the evening when EricRoss introduced “AA” Bill Williams, Gannon ’83. Af-ter a few remarks, he signed the Chartering Proclama-tion along with Bert Kelly and presented it to Eric Rossfor the chapter. There then occurred some minor pan-demonium and many photographic moments until thecelebration was closed by a remark by Dr. Underwoodand the singing of the “Bond of Delta Chi.”

The dance floor was cleared, the music man encour-aged and many of the younger with a few of the olderpeople in attendance proceeded to enjoy themselves forthe remainder of the evening. It may be said that itwas a wonderful culmination to two years of devotedwork by a great group of men with a common goal.

Delta Chi has arrived at the University of South Florida.

During the past four years we havebeen the dominant force in UW-W’shomecoming festivities, winning both thechancellor ’s cup as well as the spirit cup.Beginning in 1996 our chapter won thespirit cup for the first time and repeatedthis in 1997 and 1998. In 1997 we won thechancellor’s cup and repeated this in 1998and 1999. After doing some research wefound that this was the first time in theUniversity of Wisconsin at Whitewater ’shistory that any organization had wonboth trophies in three consecutive yearseach. With that in mind our chapter de-cided to seek recognition for our accom-plishments and contacted the governor ’soffice. After speaking with GovernorThompson’s aides they notified us that hewould be willing to prepare a proclama-tion for us. We recently received the proc-lamation, which states that Governor Th-ompson recognizes our accomplishmentsand lists the dates and description of whatwe did during homecoming.

In the recent past at Tri-State, DeltaChi has had much success. We cel-ebrated our 30th Anniversary in 1999and also had the best trip possible to theJackson Leadership College. The se-mester following this, however, left oneevent in our minds, the chapter retreat.We all traveled to the house of PhillipLeighty ’98 for an evening full of lead-ership and rush activities, goal setting,football, cookout, bonfire, karoke andnew nicknames.

In a land mine obstacle activity, thelessons to be learned were that team-work is essential for success and neverleave anyone behind. This served as a

the fireplace. The work of these three isjust a small example of the dedication tothe maintenance of the house that ourchapter has. Everyone seems to recognizethe importance of keeping it one of thebest looking on campus.

Future projects we hope to see com-pleted include improvements to both thekitchen and bathrooms. The renewedsense of pride in the house appears tomake the university more willing to makethese improvements. Our chapter housemeans a lot to us and it is beginning toshow through the highly motivated menthat step through its doors. (To see pic-tures of the improvements please visit ourwebsite at: www-scf.usc.edu/~deltachi)

Tri-State ChapterRetreats to MoveForward

great metaphor for everything we donow and have done in the past. A greatgame of backyard football was both en-tertainment for those watching andplaying, since the “field” included a hilland a cornfield. The biggest defeat ofthe night was not on the football field,though. Later, Raymond Diedrick ’01would come out victorious over JefferyHartleroad ’01 in the infamous ketchupfight. After the football game the goalsetting session proved to be optimisticas usual, with many increased stan-dards for the chapter and us. On theother hand, it was hard to be optimisticabout the karaoke . The ne ighborsshould be glad they were out of earshot.The reason that this night was the mostmemorable was evident during the

story and joke telling around the fire.The best way to explain is actually toquote the Cornerstone. It says your “truefriendships evolve by sharing commonexperiences and challenges with others,by being roommates, studying together,being teammates, or by just having agood time.” The activities of the nightdid not prove to be a great achievementor event, but we managed some “Per-sonal Growth Through Brotherhood”while having a good time.

KANSASRick Lucas ’69, and Bart Eisfelder ’68,

each received the Outstanding AlumniService Award at the University of Kansas’Greek Recognition Night in February. Wewere the only fraternity to have alumnireceiving the award, and the only Greekorganization at KU to have two winners.

The Chapter III Project is the currentrenovation of the Kansas Chapter’s house,and Brother Lucas has taken a year off hisjob to spearhead the project. The year-long,$2.1 million renovation will increase ourin-house capacity from 60 to 69, add about9,000 sq. ft., add two bathrooms, provideEthernet access for each man, and leavespace for a wheelchair elevator if the lawrequires it. He has raised almost $2million, about 90% of the needed amount,in less than a year and a half. Concernedwith the input of the chapter, BrotherLucas has included the members and theirexecutive board in every step of theprocess, especially in the design andlayout of the renovation. He is also thepresident of the Kimball EducationalFoundation, a scholarship fund for men ofthe Kansas chapter of Delta Chi. Under histwo-decade long leadership, the KimballEducational Foundation has increased itspermanent assets from $25,000 to $550,000.Brother Lucas has also served as ABTpresident and has received the Prugh

Award, given by the Kansas Chapter foroutstanding alumni service.

When the Kansas Chapter wascaught hazing in Fall 1996 and placedon Level IV probation, BrotherEisfelder assumed conservatorship ofour chapter. Among other things, thisconservatorship involved meetingwith university and chapter officialsthroughout those two years. He metwith university officials about once amonth, chapter officials once a week,and talked with the Kansas “A” once aday. He frequently talked to thechapter as well, and also to theassociate member class about hazing.Brother Eisfelder continues to addresseach new associate member class onthe subject. The later part of hisconservatorship involved monitoringthe chapter and ensuring it did notslip back into its previous practices.During the next initiation weekend,Brother Eisfelder arranged for 24-hourcoverage, by himself and other membersof ABT. Brother Eisfelder also serves aspresident of the Kansas Chapter ABT,has spoken about hazing at two Orderof Omega seminars at the University ofKansas, and has received an Order ofOmega award and the Prugh Award foroutstanding alumni service.

Song Book, separate from the Cornerstone, toinclude more of the good old songs and en-courage the composition of some new ones.

I have long wondered about the mean-ing of the title “Fovens Mater.” I finallycalled our Executive Director of the Frater-nity, Ray Galbreth, MO ’69. He e-mailed theEducational Advisor of the Delta Chi Edu-cational Foundation, Richard McKaig, BallSt. ’66, who got the answer from his wife, aprofessor of Latin. For one and all, it meansCherishing or Nurturing Mother.

I suggest that the members of the chap-ters take every advantage to learn to singtogether at dinner time, ending each dinnerand chapter meeting with the Bond Song.

I propose that we include a time for a fra-ternal sing-a-long at our next Regional meet-ings and a group get-together to sing a songor two during our international conventionin Phoenix next year. If a chapter or a regionwould like to organize a chorus or small groupto attend we could stage a sing-off contest atour Orlando convention in 2002.

Editor’s Note: On the Fraternity’s website(www.deltachi.com) are sound files of nineof our best songs. The Headquarters staffis also working on a virtual songbookwhich is planned to be on the websitesometime this summer.

Eight Kent State alumni gathered in Myrtle Beach, SC March 9-12 for the second KentState Delta Chi Golf Sizzler.
