Oklahoma, Louisiana State, and Florida Have Anniversaries

OKLAHOMA IN APRIL OF 1929, a pro­ fessor at Oklahoma University wrote to Brother H. G. Wright, then Grand President of the International Fraternity of Delta Sigma Pi, inquiring about the possibilities of founding a chapter of the fra­ ternity on that campus. Brother Wright, after some in­ vestigation, wrote back that he was not sure that the time was right to attempt beginning a chapter at O.U. It seems that student organizations were not faring well at the university at that time, including one of Delta Sigma Pi's competitor organizations. Notwithstand­ ing these circumstances, on December 4, 1929, Brother Wright installed the chapter, as Beta Epsilon, and the Uni­ versity of Oklahoma chapter became the 50th on the frater-

The weekend began on Fri­ day night with an "Early Bird" party at Piccadilly Apart­ ments' Clubhouse. The fall quarter pledge class generous­ ly sponsored the party and chose as its theme the 1929 Stock Market Crash, complete with decorations and costumes typical of the nations's eco­ nomic disaster. All members, alumni and honored guests were greeted with a carnation and offered a number of tempt­ ing delicacies and drinks. It was an evening full of getting reacquainted with old friends and being introduced to new ones, dancing and discussion and, of course, anticipation of the other activities planned for the weekend. Saturday began with a "before game coffee" at the J. Wayne Feitz Student Union, offering a relaxed atmosphere for the exchange of ideas. Sev­ eral Del tasigs from the U ni­ versi ty of South Florida in Tampa arrived to join our cele­ bration and shared with us many of their beliefs and at­ titudes. Tickets were available for the Florida-Kentucky Game and the celebration was easily continued at the stadium. The high point of weekend was definitely Satur­ day night's banquet and dance at the Hilton Inn of Gaines­ ville. Honored with the presence of such guests as Past Grand President William W.

The Area Conference was held October 27 and Frank Busch, Regional Director, attended. In November, members toured Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith, the nation's largest brokerage firm.

During the semester break members of the fraternity spent a fun filled weekend of skiing and enjoying the sun at Lake Tahoe. At the end of last semester we paid tribute to six graduating seniors; they were very active in the fraternity and we hated to see them go. However, as everything must come to an end, so did their undergraduate status. They will travel their own roads now and go in many different directions, but never will they forget the many memories, most glad, some sad, of the road they all traveled at one time, the road to Delta Sigma Pi. The gradu­ ates are Cedric Von Alexander, Tim Gardner Patrick Clements, Devera Mason, Larr; Brieseno and Kevin Garretz. I am very glad to announce that we have five new members to our chapter. The five successful pledges had a hard road to climb but the many obstacles in the way were over: come by these special people. They stuck it out and captured the victor's cup, when many a person would have turned about. The slate of officers this semester is a very dynamic group and together they shall lead our chapter to another successful year.

Our vice presidents for professional activities, Jeff Nebenzahl and Leianne Wong, have a wide variety of events planned for us and we are all excitedly waiting for them to release the program schedule. In concluding, I would like to say that our chapter has come a long way and that we are getting bigger, stronger, and more quality­ consciOus every semester. -TONY VELLA NEVADA NEVADA'S DELTA PI CHAPTER has been "on the grow" during the 1979-80 aca­ d~mic year.

With our professional, social, and fund-raising activi­ ties, Zeta Omega Chapter will most certainly be busy for the 1980 spring semester. On November 17, we added 24 new mem­ bers to our chapter. This is the largest num­ ber we have ever had initiated! But with the quantity, we also got quality. On that night of November 17 , we had a Life Membership drive. With the help of our District Director, Bob Hamer, 30 people signed up. Bob pitched in the $5.00 to start each membership. Thanks, Bob! We are looking forward to many events, in­ cluding a Las Vegas professional tour, a busi­ ness seminar, an on-campus movie, our annu­ al Togarita party, and Deltasig Days with Gamma Omega and Gamma Psi Chapters, to name just a few. Our Undergraduate of the Year Delegate this year is Mark D'Agostino, our newly elected president. We all wish Mark the best of luck. Another person worth mentioning is Greg Hoglund. Greg has made a personal con­ tribution to Professional Vice President Jeanne Mazarella of $100 for the spring pro­ fessional program. Thank you, Greg.

Athletic Chairman Nicholas Morgan, along with Dewayne "Killer" Tid­ well and Mike McShane, put their best effort into the games. We are looking forward to softball intramurals soon to begin. The spring semester has started out great. We had an exciting rush week with parties at the homes of several faculty members. We would like to thank alumnus Scott Ellen for allowing us once more the use of his cabin for our weekend retreat. Members and pledges got better acquainted and everyone had a fun weekend.

Also, we got a real experience on what it takes to go through the local levels of government red tape, with licenses, insurance, and so on. The sale was a success. We hope to be able to improve upon our plans for this sale and be able to have successful sales in the future. This past quarter our professional program was outstanding. Our theme was Accounting, Finance, and Small Business. We had ac­ countants, stockbrokers, and bankers give talks on campus. One area that we have been a little forgetful of is our socia l activities. These past two quarters we have been really busy with our professional programs, so next quarter we are planning to celebrate the 206th anniversary of t he Boxer Rebellion. Eta Chi Chapter membership has changed dramatically in the past year and a half, from older, more mature actives to younger, bolder ones. The Brothers of the Eta Chi Chapter are now trying a new step in devel­ opment, one tha t wi ll combine our old, tradi­ tional programs with our bold, new ideas. From this we hope to develop a new mold, a new base with which new Brothers and Alumni alike can fall right into place. -JEFFREY W.

38 THE March, 1980 ISSUE OF Delta Sigma Pi Statement on Hazing

The Board of Directors wishes to remind you that hazing activities during either pledge ed­ ucation or initiation are considered immature, juvenile practices which have no place in Delta Sigma Pi and will not be condoned under any circumstance. A constructive pledge education :.. program and initiation that will uphold the dignity of our fraternity should be followed by all - chapters. This means programs which will result in materially better members, better public relations, and increased prestige to the fraternity. In order that there will be no question as to what constitutes hazing, it is generally defined as follows: "Any action taken or situation created, either intentionally or unintentionally, on or off the , ... college campus, to produce physical discomfort, embarrassment or ridicule; or possibly 1- cause physical harm or injury. Such activities and situations include paddling in any form; creating of excessive fatigue; physical or psychological shock; treasure hunts, scavenger hunts, road trips; kidnapping of pledges by members or kidnapping of members by pledges; consumption of food, beverage or any other substance except in the course of regular meals; wearing apparel at any time or at any place which is conspicuous or not in good taste; engaging in public stunts, tricks, gags or horseplay; morally degrading games or humiliat­ ing activities; any activity on the part of the pledges or members which might possibly vio­ late any local, state, or federal law, including fraternity law; late work sessions which interfere with scholastic activities; and any other activities which are not consistent with fraternity law, ritual or policy, or the regulations and policies of the educational institu­ tion." Rationalization on how to circumvent these and other acts of hazing are not enough. The Board of Directors insists on the complete and total elimination of any activity which either is or closely resembles hazing. The chapter president in general, and the vice president of pledge education specifically, are in charge of the pledge education program of the chapter. If any member or pledge is reported to be engaged in hazing activities, these chapter officers are to be held personally responsible for the activities of the members and pledges, and may be personally disciplined. As you can readily see, hazing is a matter which is not to be considered lightly by any mem­ ber or pledge of any chapter. The Board of Directors, therefore, directs that this communica­ . tion be made known to all members and pledges in order that no chapter, member or pledge will engage in activities which are or closely resemble hazing.
