E. Bernard Franklin, Kansas State ’75Fraternity PresidentEmail: ihq@deltau.org

for Delta Upsilon is to be an engaging community of mature, healthy, whole men at every stage of life. A fraternity is one of the last institutions where men can organize around a common gender-specifi c purpose. And when “fraternity” is done well, the results can be extraordinary, signifi cant, and impactful.

Our mission is simple, yet very challenging in this period of the planet’s history. We seek to build “better” men.

But what does it mean to be a “better” man and how does this play out in men’s lives today? We believe a “better” man is centered around a mature, healthy man. Th is kind of man has been called many things throughout history. In recent times, we have used the term “Renaissance Man”

to refer to DU men. I am not sure this term speaks to where our young men are going, or to the demands they will face living and working in a global community.

A Renaissance Man is one whose expertise spans a signifi cant number of diff erent subject areas, or simply a man who is very knowledgeable. Th e term emerged from some of the great thinkers of the 14th Century who excelled in multiple fi elds of the arts and sciences, including Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Galileo. Th e emergence of these thinkers was attributed to the rising notion in Renaissance, Italy expressed by one of its most accomplished representatives, Leon Alberti (1404–1472): that “a man can do all things if he will.” Alberti was a Roman Catholic priest, architect, painter, poet, scientist, mathematician, inventor, and sculptor, a skilled horseman and archer.

A new contemporary term does not reduce our expectations that our brothers yield brilliant accomplishments. Contrary. Th e mind of a successful man in the 21st century calls into account that in addition to his brilliant achievements, a man know himself well, and how his talents, abilities, accomplishments, and of course his personal faults impact and interact with others. Th e Global or Universal Man must know himself and how he interacts with the world around him.

DU seeks to empower men to live lives of service and justice, making a diff erence in the lives of others — men, women, and children — around the world. Our training, seminars, and global and domestic service projects take men out of their comfort zone and challenge them to higher thinking.

Our core principles of friendship, character, culture and justice provide the foundation for our work. We build on these principles to teach men how to be better men. Following are the themes I believe a DU global man should practice in his daily life and why.

• EMOTIONAL AUTHENTICITY – Since we believe in honesty and wholeness, we encourage men to learn about their own emotional intelligence and become self-aware.

• PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY – Since we value character development, we encourage men to take 100% responsibility for our (their) feelings, choices, and actions. And we don’t stop here, we encourage men to own the impacts - both positive and negative - of our (their) choices and actions.

• LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT – Since we believe that leaders change and recreate environments, we encourage men to courageously step forward to off er compassionate leadership, seeking understanding and community rather than domination or oppression.

• JUSTICE – Since justice is our foundation, we believe our men should empathize, connecting to the challenges of others, and act with love in the world. We take on missions of service in the world and work together to make a positive diff erence.

• SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY – Since we care for ourselves, and our brothers as friends, we encourage men to create a place for men from all walks of life to learn and grow in a safe, respectful, challenging, and inclusive community. We pay attention to the impact of our actions on others and we treat women, and other men, the way we want to be treated.

• MULTICULTURAL AWARENESS – Since we recognize that it is imperative that we be able to live in harmony with people who are diff erent from us, we strive to understand ourselves and others and to celebrate our diff erences. We strive to be increasingly inclusive and affi rming of cultural diff erences, especially with respect to color, class, sexual orientation, faith, age, ethnicity, and nationality.

Th e mature global man redefi nes himself apart from the former ways of the accomplished man, the rugged go-it-alone cowboy, the dominating macho man, the overly rational cold calculating thinker, the little boy in a man’s body, the overly sensitive man who uses his emotions to manipulate those around him, the morally bankrupt soldier of fortune. We recognize some of these traits in ourselves as men, as we all carry some of these as shadows, blind spots.

However, we realize that in order to truly succeed in a global economy, these characteristics are no longer eff ective or productive alone. We need a more integrated approach to our lives that does not abuse ourselves or others and recognizes that we live in a inter-connected global culture with problems that will not be solved by a “cartoon” hero-type man or some loud mouth charismatic leader.

Today, our planet needs men of strength, dedication and integrity, working together with women and other men to solve some of the most pressing challenges of our time.

Our Vision...

THE MIND OF A

FRATERNITY

MAN how fraternity men learn, mentally

evaluate choices, create memories and

develop ideas continues to raise the

question; WHAT IS ON THE MIND OF

TODAY’S FRATERNITY MAN?

What is on your mind? How does the mind of a fraternity man work? How does the mind assign attention, stay alert, create systems or memories, and what skills and

thoughts pop up again and again in the mind of fraternity men? Are those thoughts or brain functions unique to men who have joined fraternities? Let’s fi nd out. Th e DU Quarterly takes a look inside the mind of today’s fraternity man.

We wondered what makes you tick. Quite simply, we investigated what your mind considers from day to day, how fraternity men learn, mentally evaluate, create memories, and how you develop ideas. Your brain is a complex machine that has signifi cant potential. Th e Quarterly interviewed Dr. Robert Hutchman, a respected neurologist with training at the Mayo Clinic, who told Th e Quarterly, “the brain is an amazingly complicated organ, with a classic, super complicated architecture. Every piece serves certain functions. By looking at specifi c symptoms that a patient might experience, we can get insight into what the brain needs and how your mental or physical state is impacted by that organ.”

On an average day, fraternity men function and go about their respective days at work, school, home and in environments as diverse as a bunker in Afghanistan to a classroom at Cornell. The diverse experiences of fraternity men involve cognition, memory, learning and problem solving. Your mind is a busy place, with lots of activity. The National Science Foundation estimated in 2010 that our brains produce as many as 12,000 to 50,000 thoughts per day, depending on how deep a thinker you might be.

The human mind is uniquely poised to be cognitive. Meaning, when humans feel pain, joy, hunger or fatigue, we have awareness of that feeling, and then put into context that feeling as human. Our brains know when we have an idea, when we are frustrated or confused, and when we need mental rest or sleep. The brain functions often as its own caretaker, with brain function, brain wave activity and/or energy adjusting based on physical need. We’ve broken up the mind of the typical fraternity man into what your brain spends time doing.

Your mind is both a physical place and a concept. Let’s explore what happens inside the mind of a fraternity man.

Gaining Information

Learning can be defined as, “the acquisition of knowledge or skills through study, experience or being taught.” As we gain skills or knowledge, our mind places that data or insight inside different parts of the brain. How we maximize or utilize that storage could be called learning.

To improve how your mind learns, Robert Bjork, director of the UCLA Learning and Forgetting Lab, suggests “interleaving” — or chunking input of similar skills or sets of information as you attempt to learn a skill or a group of information. He also suggests varying the setting in which we take in information. Don’t study or read in the same cubicle, same room or same position as you always do. Mixing up your environment may help with recall.

Cramming information inside your mind within a short time frame might not be the best strategy. Data demonstrates that if you study, read, or gain a skill, and then try to access or retrieve that information at a later date, you actually strengthen your ability to learn. This is called the “spacing effect” first described by Hermann Ebbinghaus in 1885.

“If you study and then you wait, tests show that the longer you wait, the more you will have forgotten,” says Bjork. That’s obvious—over time, you forget. But here’s the cool part: If you study, wait and then study again, the longer the wait, the more you’ll have learned after this second study session.”

Making MemoriesWhen you hear Fraternity President Bernard Franklin recall

his first impressions of the Kansas State Chapter in the 70s, or listen to a brother describe his best experiences in the Fraternity, you might wonder how he can recall such detail. Do men struggle to recount emotional experiences? Perhaps. Men may struggle to recall experiences that are heavily emotional, based in relationships, or separate from a visual image. A persistent cultural myth is that men have less ability to recall information, when in fact, men recall maps, orientations, lists, and focused unemotional content in a different way than women do. In a study presented in 2008 to the American Academy of Neurology, researchers determined that men were one-and-a-half times more likely to have mild cognitive impairment than women. Men have more tactical or

task-based memories, rooted in the exposure to a process or project. That doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to memorize an emotional response to an experience, but it could mean that your memorization might happen differently based on the context of that experience.

Your memories are connected to senses, context, relationships and visual or verbal data. The memory of a failed conversation, a victory on the intramural field, or a vigorous debate all occur within your mind as a collection of data elements and complex relationships with context. They are precious, and reside inside your mind, where they should remain somewhat clear if your brain functions normally and if you access the memory from time to time.

Solving ProblemsJustin Ho, Western Ontario ’13 had a problem. Frankly, he was

overwhelmed by problems and didn’t know how to start addressing them. He knew he needed a break, saw patterns of depression in his family, was overwhelmed by a recent traumatic experience involving a close personal friend, and his mental state was wholly troubled. He slept more than he typically did, felt sluggish, alone, and largely overwhelmed, and was self-medicating with alcohol. Justin knew he was depressed, and he felt an overwhelming level of anxiety. He wasn’t alone. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately 40 million American adults ages 18 and older, or about 18.1 percent of people in Justin’s age group in a given year have an anxiety disorder. Justin was one of those affected by anxiety and depression. He was scared, sad and was looking for answers. But Justin addressed his problem, identified what he needed and Justin saved himself. Justin got a plan.

“Our brains have two basic problem-solving strategies. Exploitation means taking advantage of what you already know, concentrating deeply on a current task to optimize performance and efficiency. Exploration means taking a step back from the task at hand to allow your mind to roam flexibly among alternatives,” from Fast Company’s recent article on brain scans and function.

Justin researched options for mental health care on his campus, started to have conversations with Delta Upsilon brothers and friends, and began the long, deliberate road to solving a problem. He explored his options, took time to objectively figure out what he needed, and assigned attention to an issue that plagues far too many people. He worked with professionals to determine what his mind and heart needed to repair.

If you are in a situation, or know anyone like Justin, you can do simple things to get your mind closer to a good place. Justin has a three step solution for you. Open up and ask for help. You are not alone, and there are professionals who have comfort in just sitting and listening. Often our problems overwhelm us until we unburden ourselves from secrets or holding issues inside. A conversation of one, with yourself, will never be as healthy as talking things out with another person. Psychologists agree, asking for help is the first step. The second step is doing your research. Men are often empowered and feel stronger after discerning the root of a problem. Deciding to research solutions and participate in your recovery can help with feeling overwhelmed. Finally, consulting with a professional is key. Health care is health care. If you need mental health care, go seek it out. No issue too is small to risk your mental or physical health.

Staying HealthyThe physical and mental health of the mind is a key and

critical element to improved mental and physical health. Neurodegenerative disorders, mental health issues, brain injury, memory loss, and learning impairments are all part of a complex set of health care challenges. Both Justin Ho and neurologist Dr. Robert Hutchman, look at the mental and physical health of your mind as your personal responsibility.

Ho indicates, “If you don’t take care of your mental health, it’s the same as being in an accident, getting a broken leg and doing nothing about it. It’s just stupid to not get help and address your needs.”

Dr. Hutchman agrees. “Make sure that you are setting yourself up for brain health down the line. You can focus on neurologic nutrition, keeping your brain fueled well by committing to simple strategies that assist with vascular health.”

Lack of sleep, drugs, alcohol use, poor vascular health or inattention to signs of degeneration or mental health, lack of healthy diet, or little mental stimulation can negatively impact every brain, regardless of age. Brain health and mental health can make a clear, positive impact on the quality of your life and

mind set. Paying attention to the needs of your mind is a clear expectation from both a brother and a doctor.

As you grow and develop, your brain uses synapses to create mental connections and learn information. You are born with all of the brain cells that will be used throughout your lifetime. After birth, brain cells are making connections all the time. These connections are called synapses. Connections are made when a child has experiences. Experiences make us think. When we use our mind for thought, the connections get stronger, and concepts are more easily accessed and utilized. But when synapses that are associated with specific information are not accessed, the connections get weaker. You can learn a skill, like perfecting a backhand or expressing a monologue or poem, but if you don’t repeat that activity, your synapses attached to that activity will weaken, as will the skill or memory. Keeping up with mental activity that challenges the mind is a key part of strengthening the synapses that rest inside your brain. It makes learning and replicating, and imparting skills or information easier.

Final Thoughts: What’s on our mindYour mind is a valuable commodity. More valuable, some

might say, than other physical elements of your body. Your mind literally constructs the world around you. Some would even suggest, it is the most complex structure on Earth. We live in a world where the potential impact of our attention is vast. Simply by valuing the way our minds function, we can maximize our potential to build a better man by building ourselves.

Is your mind different because you joined a fraternity? Perhaps. The experiences that students gain while attending college help to strengthen, for the most part, the synapses or connections to history, knowledge, memory and cognition. College students and college graduates, on average, are also more likely to have access to mental health care in their respective communities. College educated fraternity men are more likely to consume drugs and/or alcohol during the late stages of adolescent development and are less likely to receive eight hours of sleep. The impact of that lack of rest coupled with narcotic consumption is typically negative. While that consumption normally tapers off, the brain can enter a state of repair.

We urge you to see your mind as a complex instrument worthy of care, capable of solving problems, retaining incredible memories, determining fact from fiction, and comfortable with emotional connection with others. What’s on your mind? Quite a lot!

The foundation of our mission and vision as a fraternity is “Building Better Men for a global society through service, leadership development, and lifelong personal growth of our diverse membership.” A lofty vision indeed! But a question you may be asking yourself is why does Delta Upsilon value global citizenship and what does all this mean?

Fraternity President Bernard Franklin, Kansas State ’75 has often articulated to the membership the importance of global citizenship. Central to global citizenship are the beliefs that:• We live in an increasingly diverse society and we need to be

prepared to contribute in positive ways;• We live in an interdependent world and we need to recognize

our responsibilities to one another;• The world is smaller than ever before with many options just

a click away;

• Being a global citizen acknowledges that we have the power and the ability to change the world around us and have a positive impact; and

• From the adoption of the Global Service Initiative at the 2011 Leadership Institute, brothers have been called upon to make a difference.

Delta Upsilon has brought more than 100 brothers on multiple service trips to Jamaica and New Orleans. As a result of their efforts, participants of all ages have built additions to community schools, completed general maintenance requests, repaired and constructed playground equipment, constructed a kitchen and restrooms at a Boys and Girls Club, completed fencing projects, and painted external facades and internal walls. The GSI is much more than trips, it is about education and providing global experiences and opportunities for growth and learning for all members. The impact of the Global Service Initiative is a powerful demonstration of the potential for

fraternity men to impact the world around them in a positive way. These experiences empower participants to become dynamic social change agents, cultural ambassadors and innovative leaders while learning how to be more globally competent.

The potential to impact a community through service is unlocked by our individual members as well. Consider, if you will, the story of

Chase Henderson, San Jose ’10. When Chase arrived in Africa as a United States Peace Corps volunteer, he quickly realized that because of his chapter experience he was better prepared for the culture shock of living in a rural village then many of his colleagues. While many of his fellow volunteers were suffering from lack of sleep, Chase had little trouble resting at night. Chase spent the majority of his college years living in the San Jose chapter house. Most unexpectedly, that environment prepared him quite well for life in West Africa.

Other volunteers often complained about roosters crowing, goats bleating, rough brushing noises made from early morning sweeping throughout the compound, or the banging of the “gong-gong” to announce chiefly business. And of course, there was the infamous all-night church service that insisted on raising the microphone volume to maximum in order to better spread the good word.

Life as a brother in Delta Upsilon prepared Chase for service in many other profound ways. The ethnic and cultural diversity of

“Most notably, being a DU provided a brotherhood of strength and support of which there is no parallel.”

brotherhood helped to prepare him for the intense cultural diversity in Africa. “The leadership roles I held in the fraternity prepared me for the immense organizational tasks I was about to undertake in an effort to promote development (in a rural African Village.),” Chase explained. “But most notably, being a DU provided a brotherhood of strength and support of which there is no parallel.”

In Chase’s African community of Sampa, there is a small primary school that has been managing to educate its children with minimal resources since the 1970s. The primary request of this school was assistance in raising funds to extend the necessary power lines that would give the school electricity. Not a complex request, but one with a very profound impact to the capacity of the school if achieved.

There was a need to create flow of electricity to the school. As Chase, the faculty and head mistress of the school searched for solutions, they had an idea. They needed to provide an opportunity for the community to assist in supporting the infrastructure of this school. With the help of two motivated headmasters and a team of faculty members, an action plan and budget were designed. Stakeholders, parents and other community members were identified, and contributions started to come in. Chase undertook

the responsibility of seeking donations for the remainder of the funds, and he knew he didn’t have to look far to find support for the idea.

Chase’s chapter brothers at the San Jose Chapter answered the call. In coordination with chapter advisor Kevin Swanson, San Jose ’85 undergraduate brothers and alumni gathered for fun and brotherhood through a Bocce Ball tournament to raise funds to support the school. From this event, word spread to other brothers that one of their own was in need of support for a development project in Africa. In just a few weeks, the monetary goal was raised, with generous support and donations of Chase’s family, friends and particularly his Delta Upsilon brothers. Chase watched as poles went up and power lines were drawn to the school.

Ideas have power. The impulse to unlock the potential in an idea can create a community of men who find purpose in serving or can provide opportunities for an entire Fraternity to refocus on global leadership. As Delta Upsilon continues to evolve, we have much to gain from an increased commitment to solving global issues as men who want to work to change the world. What impact will emerge from your ideas? As global citizens, your potential is limitless.

What Happened Next? What happens when ideas became reality.

“Riding up to the school on my bike on a hot African Saturday, I spotted one of the headmasters, Irene Abakah, a small Ghanaian woman with short graying hair. Her arm rose steadily with fi nger posed; playing the role of general and conductor to a group of electricians. I rode up to her and began the customary greetings and inquiry of her health. She got a big grin and slapped her hand into mine giving me an enthusiastic handshake. ‘Mr. Charles, you see? It is happening!’”

SandyHoSandyHoSandyJames Madison Colony

Responds to NeedQ&A with Daniel Wagner

12

13SandyHoHooHooHo kokoTh e tragedy in Newtown, CT on

December 14, 2012, was a devastating reminder of the potential impact of one man’s madness on an entire country. Horrifi ed, many students around the world struggled with what to do next. Host a fundraiser? Start a conversation? Th e men of the James Madison Colony knew what they wanted to do. Th ey wanted to create a place where students, from all backgrounds, could come together to grieve, and act in support of the children at Sandy Hook Elementary. Th ey worked to create awareness of how justice can meet a need when current events demand action. We sat down with Daniel Wagner, colony president, to get a sense of why this group of men stepped up to plan a vigil and card-writing campaign to support a town dealing with incredible grief and loss.

Quarterly: What made the men in the colony want to do something to support those aff ected in Newtown? Why now? Why that project?

Daniel Wagner: Decisions all happened very quickly. One of our brothers was watching the news covering the shootings over winter break and posted on our Facebook group that he thought we should do something. Within two hours, more than half the brothers had posted ideas, concerns and began formulating a plan for the vigil. All of the brothers recognized that an injustice had occurred and could not stand by without acting. Tragedies like Sandy Hook are especially relevant to us because they happen on school grounds where people are supposed to be safe.

Q: When you joined the Fraternity, what were your impressions of

what a fraternity could and should do to help other people? Do you think the fraternity label helped or hurt your eff orts to gain support?

DW: Before I knew anything about Delta Upsilon, I thought fraternities could only drink, party and donate some money at the end of each semester. However, when I got involved with these brothers, it felt as if we could do anything. It still feels that way. I think a good portion of the brothers genuinely think we can. As a result, fraternity label or not, we knew we could put it all together. Additionally, the JMU Greek Community is becoming more and more supportive each day. I see a very positive future for Greek Life on campus.

Q: What did you see when the vigil took place? Can you give us

a sense of when you thought to yourself, “we’ve created something special...?” What were the best moments that night?

DW: We have 10-15 JMU students who are from Newtown, CT. Th e best moment of the night was hearing them speak. Th ey were truly touched that the community had come together in full force to support them. Th at has been one of our greatest accomplishments so far as a colony.

Q: What now? What do you think the colony will accomplish in the years ahead?

DW: Clearly, we must continue on the same positive trend. We have big plans for the spring and even bigger ones for the years to come. One of our top priorities will be to bring this campus closer together and change the way Greek Life is viewed. Th e other is to become heavily involved in the GSI. We’ve already raised $1,000 this past semester and plan to make a much larger contribution each year and send as many brothers to the projects as we can.

Q: Why do you think men in Delta Upsilon should do “good things”

to help others?DW: We’ve pledged our lives to this Fraternity and should

therefore live by each of its Four Founding Principles. Th at means everyday we are doing something to promote friendship, both within and outside of our brothers, develop our own character and foster the development of others, diff use liberal culture, and advance justice. It doesn’t matter how big or small the action is, what matters is that we are DUs and have certain standards to live by.

“I like to give back, and after hearing about how I can get involved I knew I wanted to be a part of it. Seeing other people happy makes me happy, and DU provides an opportunity to do that.”

Chris DiPietro, Sacred Heart Colony ’15

Update from the road: Expansion

Th is academic year Delta Upsilon has experienced a new level of growth not seen in recent times. As our staff members introduce our Fraternity to students at Quinnipiac University and Sacred Heart University, each individual is committing themselves to being a part of something larger. Men who were once strangers are now linking arms to build a legacy on their campus backed by our four founding principles in the span of a single semester. Th ese new founding fathers are walking a path not so dissimilar to the founders of Delta Upsilon as they strive to create a new fraternity experience at their respective campuses.

In fall 2012 the Iowa and James Madison colonies were both formed, pledging over 110 new members to our fraternity. Each are now a semester in to their Delta Upsilon membership and establishing a culture of excellence. Both are committed to academic excellence ,with James Madison achieving the second highest grade point average amongst fraternities. Th is expectation of excellence is critical to our partnership with each campus. Delta Upsilon commits to dedicating the resources and staff necessary to form the strongest group of men.

Th rough the Fraternity’s values, our expansion team fi nds those seeking a fraternity off ering leadership, service and a commitment to a global society. We are excited to be back at the University of Iowa to tap into the rich history of the chapter as well as the passion of the alumni involved with the new colony. Delta Upsilon being invited to James Madison, Quinnipiac, and Sacred Heart is exactly what we want: the chance to create new, successful colonies at institutions that attract and foster men driven by our purpose.

Quinnipiac UniversityWhat trends have you observed as men join Delta Upsilon?

Men at Quinnipiac are looking to add to the already strong fraternity and sorority community in their own unique way. Th ey are ready to make an impact and establish a legacy on their campus under the banner of Delta Upsilon. We are attracting upperclassmen who didn’t fi nd a fraternity that appealed to them as well as freshman leaders who are eager to take on the role as a founding member of the chapter.

� e men seem to really respond to the open ritual. Can you explain why you think colony members have responded to the open nature of the organization? Th e Quinnipiac fraternity and sorority community has grown immensely over the past several years and men are used to seeing new fraternities. Th e non-secrecy as has attracted those who decided against other opportunities. Th ey truly want to share their Fraternity with the entire community.

What has most impressed you about our men at Quinnipiac? I am impressed with how quickly men have rallied to support the principles of Delta Upsilon. Th ey are eager for opportunity and change. When they see something they believe in, they commit themselves fully. Th is quality is not something every university cultivates in their students.

What have you noticed about these two communities that impresses you? Th e Quinnipiac community is extremely welcoming. Members of other fraternal organizations constantly ask how the expansion is going and express their excitement at our success. I cannot wait to see how many come to our colonization and chartering ceremonies!

SACRED HEART UNIVERSITYWhat trends have you observed as men join Delta Upsilon?

Th e men who have joined Delta Upsilon at Sacred Heart are looking for an alternative fraternity experience. Th ey are committed to service opportunities Delta Upsilon provides such as the Global Service Initiative.

� e men seem to really respond to the open ritual. Can you explain why you think colony members have responded to the open nature of the organization? Th e men at Sacred Heart wanted to know more about the organization before they joined. Most are working and have family obligations each week so investing in something new can be diffi cult. Delta Upsilon is able to show what membership will look like without withholding information or aspects of the Fraternity.

What has most impressed you about our men at Sacred Heart? I am impressed with the diversity of the interested men so far. Each man has diff erent passions and interests and are sharing them with the entire group. I am excited to see what activities each new member will share with the rest of the colony.

What have you noticed about these two communities that impresses you? I’m impressed with the amount of service that goes on within Sacred Heart. Many students are receiving scholarships based on community service so they have been engaged in such activities since high school.

Syracuse Men’s Basketball Coach

Jim Boehiem, Syracuse ’66 earns 900th career win.

Jim Boeheim, 68 and in his 37th year at his alma mater, is 900-304 and joined an elite fraternity. Mike Krzyzewski (936) and Bob Knight (902) are the only other men’s Division I coaches to win that many games.

“To me, it’s just a number,” said Boeheim, whose fi rst victory was against Harvard in 1976. “If I get 900, have I got to get more? Th at’s why maybe it’s just not that important to me because to me it’s just a number, and the only number that matters is how this team does.” ”Boeheim was eff usive in praise of the support the team has received during his long tenure. Syracuse has had 71 crowds of more than 30,000 since the Carrier Dome opened in 1980 and holds the NCAA on-campus record of 34,616, set nearly three years ago against Villanova.”

“Th e support of fans cannot be overestimated,” he said. “You have to have that kind of support in your building to bring recruits in, to help you play better. We’ve had a tremendous loyal fan base. Th at’s why I always felt this was a great place to coach and why I never really thought about going anywhere else. Th e support from the fans is the No. 1 thing you have to have.” - Source: Associated Press

Historical Perspective

Delta Upsilon men have engaged in academic excellence for more than a century, focusing on intellectual pursuits within the environments of excellent institutions of higher education. Th e mark of an intellectual, it seems, may be found with a Delta Upsilon badge and Phi Beta Kappa key. Many Delta Upsilon members have been inducted into the United States’ oldest fraternity, and some notable brothers are listed, with biography, below. Phi Beta Kappa was founded at the College of William and Mary in 1776, during the American Revolution.

“For over two and a quarter centuries, the Society has embraced the principles of freedom of inquiry and liberty of thought and expression. Laptops have replaced quill pens, but these ideas, symbolized on Phi Beta Kappa’s distinctive gold key, still lay the foundations of personal freedom, scientifi c inquiry, liberty of conscience, and creative endeavor. Phi Beta Kappa celebrates and advocates excellence in the liberal arts and sciences. Its campus chapters invite for induction the most outstanding arts and sciences students at America’s leading colleges and universities. Th e Society sponsors activities to advance these studies — the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences — in higher education and in society at large.” (from pbk.org)

Delta Upsilon’s highest profi le Phi Beta Kappa is Dr. Oscar Voorhees, Rutgers ’88, the fi rst historian for Phi Beta Kappa and lifelong Phi Beta Kappa leader.

Upon his retirement as secretary in 1931, he was chosen as Phi Beta Kappa Historian, a life appointment. Dr. Voorhees, a venerable historian and avid researcher on Phi Beta Kappa published the “History of Phi Beta Kappa” in 1946. Before that, he had written a “Historical Sketch of Phi Beta Kappa” and had been editor of the fraternity’s publication. He also served as the secretary of the Phi Beta Kappa Foundation from 1924 to 1931.

sciences. • Phi Beta Kappa chapters are at 280 American colleges and universities. • Invitation to membership in Phi Beta Kappa is a refl ection of

Make sure that you are fueling your body and brain with adequate resources. “Your brain needs nutrition, hydration, and general avoidance of abuse of substances.”

Get enough quality sleep. “Maintaining regimented sleep patterns, getting good restful REM sleep, and truly getting refreshing sleep for the next day can do wonders.”

Take a baby aspirin. No joke. “World War II veterans who took baby aspirin reduced the risk of Parkinson’s disease in those men accessing VA health care by 40%, and reduced the risk of Alzheimer’s by 60%, most likely because the aspirin kept the brain vessels healthy.”

Th e sunshine factor is key. 400 units (IU) of vitamin D with 15 minutes exposure to sunlight can work wonders on seasonal aff ectation disorder (SAD). Any person can suff er from feeling gloomy when the sun doesn’t shine consistently. Vitamin D and a UV light can help. “It (the UV light) mimics the normal eff ect on your brain of sun light.”

Facing a degenerative disease like Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s? Seek supportive treatment. “We (specialists) keep you at your best and can keep you with the absolute best quality of life. If adequately treated with moderate therapy, you can have a normal life expectancy and excellent quality of life. You will experience some physical and non-physical symptoms, but you need to know what to ask, how to treat it, how to gauge the treatment. We will be honest and certainly will be more encouraging than you might expect.”

In Tribute to: Scott JohnsonScott A.W. Johnson,

Washington, ’80, former Chairman of the Board of Directors (1992 - 2001), and Board Trustee for the Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation (2001-2002), Leadership Consultant (1980-1981), and Distinguished Delta Upsilon (2010) passed away unexpectedly on October 20, 2012 at the age of 53. Raised in Cheney and Olympia, W a s h i n g t o n , h e graduated from Olympia High School, received

his undergraduate degree in Business from the University of Washington and his J.D. from American University, Washington College of Law. With more than 35 years of leadership and service to both his Washington Chapter and the International Fraternity, Scott earned the DU Distinguished Alumni Award and was honored during the Washington Chapter’s Centennial Celebration in September 2010. More than 155,000 men have been initiated into DU in the past 178 years. Scott was only the 67th alumnus to receive the Distinguished Alumni Award.

His legacy is best articulated by men who served with, and learned from Scott. Coady Pruett, Cal Poly ’02 offered, “Scott was truly a man of great substance. To say that Scott was a good Brother is an understatement. Instead, Scott’s character—his integrity—his guidance—his wisdom—his leadership—make me feel fortunate to be in Scott’s brotherhood. I am a better brother, better citizen, better lawyer, and better person for having known Scott.”

Brother Johnson’s legacy has lasting impact that far exceeds his physical presence. Washington Chapter members who felt Scott’s support at the undergraduate level can attest to his sincere commitment and unmatched willingness to guide and mentor. Eric Hamlin, Washington ’05 wrote, “Scott’s dedication to, and impact on, the Washington Chapter was enormous. For decades Scott’s name was synonymous with the collective DU alumni base; when the chapter talked about alumni involvement, they were talking about Scott. It wasn’t that his interactions with the chapter were overbearing - in fact the opposite. His philosophy was to be a sounding board for the chapter executives; providing advice and guidance but never dictating orders or pushing requirements. His belief was that the more you put into the fraternity experience, the more you got out in return, and that empowering the chapter members to make decisions (good or bad) prepared them to be better leaders in the future.”

His service to the Fraternity began at a very young age, as Brother Johnson served as his chapter president while a student at the University of Washington, then as a chapter traveling consultant and Educational Foundation staff member. His

presence at Fraternity events was consistent. Brother Johnson attended many Presidents’ Academies, Leadership Institutes, chapter retreats, Board of Directors meetings, Board of Trustees meetings, and house corporation board meetings due to his commitment and drive. Brother Johnson on many occasions, also hosted dinners, conversations, and dialogues to offer his support to Delta Upsilon brothers in need. He was a focused and caring steward of the Fraternity’s mission to build better men.

Fraternity President, Dr. Bernard Franklin, Kansas State ’75, offered these thoughts, “As a result of many conversations and a special opportunity to peer into his soul, I knew Scott as a man, a Fraternity Brother, a champion of human rights, and a leader with a deep will. I will always remember his brilliant mind in helping us clarify complex issues. He was a fierce defender of the Fraternity/Greek system. He steadfastly believed there was a special and significant role that a Fraternity could play in developing young men with great character, distinction, strong leadership skills, and with a personal commitment to living out a life committed to social justice. Our Fraternity is stronger today because of Scott’s courage.”

His commitment to the Delta Upsilon Fraternity was matched by his love for the law and his community. A valued and trusted advocate and public servant, he was an adept and capable guide for many people who required legal counsel. Brother Johnson practiced law for almost 27 years, and during his years of service, worked on the Board of Washington Coalition for Open Government, advocated for the best interests of children through representation of Guardian ad Litem, and performed pro bono work with the Northwest Women’s Law Center, various neighborhood clinics, as well as the ACLU. Scott was to be sworn in as a King County Superior Court Judge in January 2013, fulfilling a lifelong dream. He is survived by his wife Karen, daughter Chloe, parents Graham and Jackie. Memorial Services were held on November 16, 2012 in Seattle.

*We are grateful for the assistance of James S. Simpkins, Washington State ’81 as we constructed this tribute.

“His energy and enthusiasm for the Fraternity attracted

many an undergraduate who would solicit his counsel and

they were wise to place their trust in Scott.”

Craig Franz, FSC, Bucknell ’75Current Foundation Trustee

“Scott’s quick wit, quick mind, strong leadership and

desire to serve his fellow man will be greatly missed.”
