2 THE RATTLE/ SPRING 2008 From the National President

Build on a Foundation of Alumni Support

By Michael P. Maloney, National President (Delta Upsilon/Arizona State ’87)

his summer, my eight years of service on the Grand Chapter comes to an end. As I reflect on my total of T 15 years of volunteering for Theta Chi, I am thankful for the many friendships I have gained. It has been a privilege to serve with and get to know many outstanding brothers. Working with passionate people on a common task creates wonderful friendships—my Theta Chi experience proves this. Along with the normal work of the Grand Chapter, I am amazed at how much life I have witnessed as a Theta Chi volunteer. Just since my election to the Grand Chapter in 2000, my fellow board members and I have shared in each other’s weddings, retirements, divorces, births of children and grandchildren, illnesses and the losses of loved ones. Serving eight years with such selfless brothers has been an honor. As I continue to reflect, I think about what advice I can share after eight years on the Grand Chapter. One thing I have learned stands out. The single most important characteristic to a Theta Chi chapter’s long-term success is sustained and active alumnus involvement. The chapters with active and involved alumni are the chapters that thrive when all goes well and that overcome adversity when trouble arises. Alumnus brothers serving as Chapter Advisors or House Corporation officers provide a chapter with the foun- dation on which to build. Their advice and guidance helps the chapter stay focused on what is important. For the volunteer, the reward is watching each year as new members join the chapter. Then years pass and those same new members mature into chapter leaders, college graduates and responsible adults. For the volunteer, each year is a kind of rebirth. Even though the tasks and challenges may remain the same, the players con- stantly change. It is this change that keeps you coming back. As I finish my time on the Grand Chapter and return my focus to my own chapter, my hope is that you, too, will see a lot of life by volunteering to help Theta Chi. If you are an alumnus member, I encourage you get involved with your own chapter or a chapter near you. Serving on the House Corporation or as a Chapter Advisor is a great way to give back to Theta Chi. Your help is needed… and you will see a lot of life.

Fraternally,

Michael P. Maloney

THE RATTLE/ SPRING 2008 3 Cover Story WHAT MAKES A By Patrick T. O’Connor (Chi/Auburn University ‘78)

George Walthall walked onto the Auburn University campus as a freshman in the fall of 1930. Brother Walthall graduated in 1934. He never spent a night as a student at Auburn when he did not live in the Theta Chi house. Seventy-three years later, on September 22, 2007, Brother Walthall, now retired and living in Prattville, Alabama, was one of many Chi Chapter alumni who attended the grand open- ing of the chapter’s fourth house at Auburn University. These men, like spirits come to life from some history book, are the true foundation of Chi Chapter’s new house. Another solid rock from Chi’s past, Brother Arnold Fagen, President of the Chapter in 1949–50, returned for the grand opening from his current home on Jekyll Island, Georgia, to the campus where he played football for anoth- er Chi Chapter alumnus—Coach Ralph “Shug” Jordan, class of 1932. Brother Charles E. “Buddy” Davis, class of Patrick O’Connor ’78, George Walthall ’34, Harry Strack ’65, T. J. Eggers ’09, and Joseph Couch ’96 1959, is one of four Chi alumni for whom a celebrate at the Chi Grand Opening Ceremony. major building on campus is named.

This group of dedicated Chi fraternity not only by his presence, but, also, through his generosity—as the lead donor in the Chapter’s capital campaign. Brother Charlie Stephenson, class of 1973, also laid a figurative cornerstone for the new house through his generosity and vision. Brother Stephenson purchased the former house and property at 712 West Magnolia Avenue, which Chi had occupied since 1952, for a premium price in a transaction that most observers would say was motivated chiefly by his loyalty to the Fraternity. Brother Gary Barner, class of 1975, arrived for the grand opening with a bundle of pho- tographs, newspaper clippings and memorabilia from the 1970s when he was an active member of the Chapter. Present, too, were the Chi alum- ni who spent the better part of two years donat- ing every free moment (and some moments that

Although it would be nearly seven years before the dream of a new house would become a reality, it was this meeting that marked the beginning of Chi’s effort to obtain a new Chapter house. Let’s fast forward from November 2000 to April 2005. Once the final offer was on the table, the House Corporation and other inter- ested alumni went into overdrive mode. Attorneys were hired to verify that the House Corporation was correctly incorporated. The alumni leadership had to ensure that all non- profit tax returns were in order.

The need for common space was a prominent topic of discussion during the design of the house. Except for three residence rooms, the resident advisor apartment and a commercial- grade kitchen, the main level of the house is all common space. This common space features a large television lounge, a sitting room, men’s and women’s restrooms, a conference room, an office, a study room, a private sitting room for alumni, and a dining room.

The Beta Tau Chapter house, located at 2715 Portland Street just north of the USC campus, will become a model of energy and water con- servation, materials and resource usage, envi- ronmental impact and innovative design. Created in 2000 by the USGBC (United States Green Building Council), the LEED program (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a point-based rating system, allowing Front elevation drawing of Beta Tau’s proposed house. a building to be certified as ‘green’ after satisfy- ing specific building criteria.

Building a Dream

By Dale Taylor, Executive Director (Alpha Phi/Alabama ’69)

here was always something special each fall as I came back to school and walked into the T Fraternity house. It was not just the excitement of another year of school, nor was it the anticipation of seeing everyone again after the summer break. I actually believe the house had a certain smell, just like a new car smell, that was only there, at that house, and at that time. Yeah, I know, stale beer and leftover food can do that after three months, but it was not that. Actually, to me, it was the smell of brotherhood. It meant we would soon be asking new men to join our Theta Chi. It meant a chance to make new friends, some of whom would be lifelong friends. You do develop connections to smells, sights and words in your mind so that one triggers other thoughts. Those of us from that time still refer to the “new” house although now it is almost 50 years new. That facility, with its smells and look, triggers lots of great thoughts for me about the Brotherhood I joined those many years ago. A facility can be much more than something to bring back memories; it can be the agent that brings on change, or improves morale of the group, or encourages more men to pledge, or offers new connections to those already members in our Fraternity. We have had several groups build new facilities lately thanks to those alumni who remember their fraternal experience and want to insure that others have the same opportunities to develop memories and to join the great con- necting Brotherhood of Theta Chi. The alumni of Chi Chapter at Auburn University are a great example of taking a vision and turning it into something that benefits the development of the chapter. A dream of many years came to fruition last year under the leadership of many loyal alumni and followers of the Tigers. We need to believe that dream can happen everywhere with increased chapter involvement of our alumni brothers and with help in developing the undergraduate members. Our Creed begins with “I believe in Theta ...” so let us all believe and remember—for me, the smell and the indi- viduals; for you, perhaps a different trigger. Clasp the hands of your friends, your Brothers, and make it “We believe.” My best wishes to you for a great 2008 and always.

Fraternally,

Dale Taylor
