It’s difficult to write a tribute to Ed Heminger, because he disliked tributes, at least about himself. For a man of his remarkable accomplishments in life, he was one of the most humble people I have ever met. For as long as I’ve known him, Ed was an elder statesman of the Fraternity. He completed his service on the Arch Chapter when I was only 13 years old, preparing to transition from junior high to high school, and before I even really knew what a fraternity was. When I be- came active as an alumni volunteer, Ed was there with support and to offer advice. After join- ing the Arch Chapter, I got to know him better, and learn firsthand of his wisdom, his kindness, and his deep love of our brotherhood. Over the course of the past few years, and particularly as I served in place of Jim Selzer during his last illness, and now as president, I called on him for advice. He could always be relied upon for sound judgment, but only if advice was sought. He did not impose his views or tell you what you should be doing. During our last phone call about a month before he died, I asked him for advice with respect to an issue facing the Arch Chapter. Instead of telling me what he would do, he asked me what I thought I should do, and only then would he give me his opinion. It was very reassuring to hear Ed say: “I think you’re doing the right thing.” I am glad to have known Ed, proud to call him my brother, and privileged to have him as a friend and mentor. Our brotherhood has had its share of “giants.” Without question, Ed was one. He was the embodiment of phrases that run through Delt-speak—a Good Delt, a patrician soul, a man who lived an unselfish and noble life. He modeled the values we seek to instill in all our members. He is a man we cannot forget to remember, because all of us, young and old alike, should continue to emulate his example of service. The Chapter Eternal is a richer place with Ed around. Our job is to ensure that all he gave to our brother- hood lives on. p Alan Brackett International President

28 | THE RAINBOW p WINTER 2012 Throughout grade school, we were taught never to use the word we were defining in the actual definition itself. However, researching the word citizenship in the dictionary does exactly that: “the state of being a citizen; a group of citizens is the citizenry.” Any grammar teacher would surely be horrified.

United States citizenship, as we know it today, is now seen through the prism of the 14th Amendment’s due process clause. However, even with such a rich and long history, most citizens of the United States

lack basic knowledge of civics education: In March 2011, Newsweek asked 1,000 U.S. COVER STORY citizens to take the official citizenship test—The result? Just 29 percent were unable to name the vice president, 73 percent could not select the reason the United States fought the Cold War, and 6 percent could not identify our day of national independence. The study goes on to opine that those United States citizens involved in other social and community groups ranked higher on the citizenship test. Therefore, it can be sur- mised, our involvement in other value-based organizations makes us better citizens.
