Review the St. Anthony Hall | Fall 2013 From the Editor

Celebrating Service

When I was 23, I was given a remarkable opportunity to spend a summer volunteering in Kenya. I worked for a sewing project for refugee women, I assisted in a medical research project to address the mental health needs of the people of Kibera, the largest slum in sub-Saharan Africa, and I volunteered at a school and at an orphanage. The summer was rich with new experiences, absolutely formative. And I could not have done it without a grant from the St. Anthony Educational Foundation (SAEF), to which I am forever indebted. Joining the G.C. this year, I have been thrilled to remember that service is a shared passion in this fraternity. As you will read in the chapter reports, the undergraduate chapters are uniquely committed to community service, from Upsilon’s annual Billy Hill 5k to Tau’s important work at Rosie’s Place, a sanctuary for homeless women in Boston. SAEF grants continue to support essential projects, as Sis. Coco Wilder Ξ’12 describes in her article about empowering young women in rural Uganda. Our alumni brothers and sisters remain dedicated to service after graduation, whether domestic or international. Bro. Maryam Mujica E’98 tells of life on the President’s national security team at the White House. Sis. Elizabeth Peacock Ξ’05 will inspire you with her reflections on the importance of global outreach. With all of our differences, service is a common thread. As the theme of this newsletter, then, I invite you to take this opportunity to celebrate the value of service. Share in the unique experiences of your brothers and sisters as you read their stories. I hope you will feel as inspired and humbled as I do to be part of this brotherhood of individuals so eager and able to improve the world. Maybe we can all find a way to give back, whether in as grand a fashion as embarking on a career in global health or as modest as an evening washing dishes in a soup kitchen, an afternoon clearing trash in a local park, or picking up your pen to write a check to SAEF.

It was the highest of honors to serve as the 147th H.D. of the fraternity of Delta Psi and the 25th from the Alpha chapter. The last three years on the G.C. have been truly unforgettable. My fellow G.C. officers were top-notch and totally committed to strengthening our Order. There are not adequate superlatives in the English language to describe the qualities of the 2012 G.C. Officers. Our M.H.E. Sis. Karen Caswelch T’80 showed all of us her strong mettle and deep, abiding devotion to the Hall. She is a natural born leader and has great plans for the future betterment of our fraternity. I was incredibly fortunate to serve two full years on the G.C. with three fellow officers: Bro. Lila Claghorn E’06, Bro. Gary Stahlberg Φ’04 and Bro. Roun McNeal Ξ’04. Lila was a pistol and was always ahead of the game. She edited four first-rate newsletters, which you all most certainly have enjoyed immensely, and she was very talented at choosing fraternity trophy winners (being a future Broadway star helped her in this regard!). Gary served as our esteemed treasurer and missed nary a decimal point or red cent—that’s the kind of steel-trap mind he has. His treasurer’s reports were perfection. Gary has never missed a G.C. in almost a quarter-century—that must be some sort of a fraternity record. Bro. McNeal was always spot on and knows his fraternity ritual like the back of his hand. I took to calling him “The Senator,” because he has a senatorial quality about him—I predict that one day he will be tapped as H.D. Bro. Peter Barlow E’86 was the most “hail-brother-well-met” on our visits and always made the rest of us see the cup full to brimming. He was perfectly suited to organize the enjoyable Toasts to Tony. I would like to thank each of my fellow officers for making our 2012 G.C. Officer team so outstanding and accomplished. This past year had its most definite high points during chapter visits. Among them were the time we visited the grave of the only H.D. from Iota, E.Bro. William Wallace Gilbert I1869, in a beautiful 19th-century cemetery in Rochester. Sis. Dana Belles I’11 and the Iota undergrads performed the age-old Delta Psi funeral ritual. The time we were present at the Alpha chapter for its renowned black tie Christmas photograph, as Bro. Cristian Lopez-Balboa A’09 gave us cues. The time we attended a baseball game at Ole Miss and experienced the very finest of Phi’s hospitality under the tutelage of Bro. Adam Stanford Φ’10. The incredible L.D.s and MacNellys we heard during most all of the chapter visits. The fraternity standards we heard sung at Xi and Kappa with immense verve and spirit. The atmosphere of international fraternity and togetherness at Tau. The genuine bonhomie we experienced at Epsilon. The can-do spirit at Upsilon. The warm, family feeling when dining at Kappa. The intellectual curiosity we discovered at Theta. The aura of being in a Merchant and Ivory film at Delta. The hoary traditions we enjoyed at Sigma. Our chapter visits were memorable in so many ways—most of all for displaying the adamantine bonds that hold us all together. As we on the G.C. visited the chapters this year, we took them special gifts to mark the occasions. We gave several chapters framed photos of former eminent H.D.s from their own chapters. We gave Kappa a framed photo for their C.R. of their first H.D., E.Bro. Liam Murphy K’83. We gave Delta a 19th-century leather-bound Bible to replace their own very worn out one. We gave Alpha antique chairs for their C.R. and fine art for their public rooms. We presented several chapters with silver candelabra for their C.R. altars. We donated to Sigma some Yale rarities for their secret side. By giving these things, we hope the chapters will not soon forget the friendly traveling band of G.C. officers from last year! The 1-2-3 Conference, once again held at the bucolic Fellowship Farm in Pennsylvania, further cemented our bonds and brought us closer to our ideals. Adam Stanford from Phi led a fine secret meeting. Bro. McNeil won the newly established 4 continued on page six Prospect A Report from our Current H.D. M.H.E. Sis. Karen Caswelch T’80

I fell in love for the first time at the tender age of 18. It was January of 1981. As it happens with first loves, I really didn’t nurture that love as much as I should have, and I moved on. I fell in love the second time when I was 27, and this time it lasted. I married Tom and learned a lot of things about love during our more than 21 years together. First of all, love is about trust. It is very hard to nurture love when you aren’t able to trust each other. The second element is respect. A relationship requires that you respect your partner and show that respect visibly. The other major element is “the little things.” It’s very easy to get upset about how you fold the towels and how you load the dishwasher—especially when you both have different opinions on this—but finding agreement on these little things helps prepare you to deal with the inevitable big things that come up. After 20 years, my first love called, and I answered the phone. Luckily, my first love was Delta Psi and it was the second call to service. During the last 18 months, I have fallen back in love with our fraternity. My path was assisted by the 2012 G.C. Officers, E.Bro. Tad Tharp A’75, Bro. McNeal, Bro. Stahlberg, Bro. Claghorn and Bro. Barlow. I have relearned that one of the gifts of this fraternity is the incredible membership on both an individual level as well as on a group level. As I have moved down this path, it struck me that there are a lot of similarities between my two great loves. Think about trust—we all commit to each other that our meetings are a safe place and we trust each other so that we open ourselves and feel safe to be vulnerable. This is courageous for the individual and amazing within a group setting. When I think about respect, I am a bit more concerned. I think we have some issues as an order. I have seen tension between the coed chapters and all-male chapters. Last year, when we visited the all-male chapters, I stated to all that I was 100% supportive that the all-male chapters remain so. I will never change my respect for Delta, Phi and Upsilon and have endeavored to show that respect both during those visits, as well as during the visits to the coed chapters. It was important to show this joint support, and as such, I specifically requested to the nominating committee that we find a very diverse team for this year’s officer group. I am thrilled to have Bro. Reynolds, Upsilon; Sis. Peacock, Xi; Bro. Beaulac, Delta; Sis. Zuckerwise, Xi and Bro. Barlow, Epsilon. We all come from different places, but we have found that there is wonderful synergy when we trust and respect each other. When I think about “the little things,” it immediately brings me to our ritual. I am committed to enhancing our ritual as one of my major initiatives. I’ve asked E.Bro. Nick Noble E’77 to travel to each chapter and assess and teach ritual. It is difficult for this to remain at a consistently high level because it only takes a large senior class to graduate and have the potential of leaving a chapter behind, which isn’t quite as good from a ritual perspective. As a second initiative, our G.C. is committed to the strength of the Graduate Organizations and uses this opportunity to encourage volunteer service. The Graduate Organizations continue to need an influx of recent (and not-so-recent) graduates to continue to support the undergraduate chapters. Finally, I’d like to share a story from my undergraduate years, 1981-84. E.Bro. Andy Hunter Δ’55 and I became friends. I’d look forward to seeing him at every G.C. and we frequently shared a dance at the final banquet. One year, I told him that I wanted to be the first female H.D. Andy told me, “It won’t happen, and here’s why. You’ll stay involved for a few years after you graduate and then you’ll get married, raise children and get involved with your career. Twenty-25 years from now you’ll get a call out of the blue from the order, asking you to serve. The reason you won’t be the first woman is because our order won’t wait that long for the first.” Andy’s words to me were quite prescient—I was a G.C. officer in 1990, got married in 1992, had kids and a career and really wasn’t involved with the fraternity for 20 years until I received the phone call, asking me to serve. I am thrilled and honored to be serving in the company of such distinguished men and women over the years. I am dedicating my year to our departed E.Bro. Hunter.

I also tutored and led a creative writing class for another intern’s project of self-publishing a book to support the school’s scholarship fund. Though this formal work was significant, my conversation with Susan helped me realize that my time was most valuable spent listening to the kids and asking questions about their lives and opinions. The kids and I talked about football while sorting beans, and about our future families while walking to town to buy ice cream. Everyday I lounged on the lawn with “Baby Dan,” an adorable toddler, and we read picture books together. By the end of the summer, he’d learned to say the words “mouse” and “rainbow.” Each day was complexly beautiful and completely challenging.

While I said he knew more about the organization and would have to support the child’s education long after I left, he insisted I decide.

Not wanting to have wasted my friends’ morning, I suggested I began visiting the orphanage whenever I could. I helped the sisters wash dishes after breakfast, and I helped them feed the children. For the first few weeks, they had me feed the easy children, the ones who would sit quietly and open their mouths when they were told. I grew adept at mashing together the ugali—a starchlike, thick polenta—with the orange sections and avocado chunks, spooning over the gravy and crushing in the green beans. The children opened their mouths and slurped it up. One morning, I went to the orphanage and found the place much less raucous than usual. “What’s going on?” I asked a sister I had befriended. “One of the children has died,” she said. Died? “We do not know what happened. We are calling for the doctor.” In a side room, the girl was covered with a blanket. I looked at her face. I recognized her, but I had not known her well. All the other children, even the least responsive ones, seemed to understand what had happened. continued on page 11 9 alumniand Education Sis. Elizabeth Peacock Ξ’05

The Global Class

I attended as a teenager— mentored and supported the refugees and they became a huge part of my young life, opening my eyes to the vast differences between my small world of privilege and the challenges faced by several billion others around the globe. Before coming to America, many of these young men witnessed their families murdered, walked for 3,000 miles to escape war, and lived for ten years on one meal a day. Arriving in America as refugees who had never seen electricity or running water, they faced a new and no less daunting set of challenges: getting a driver’s license, maintaining decent grades, Students entering the classroom building at the newly completed Nyarweng Model Primary School, holding down multiple November 2012. jobs in the midst of a recession, sending money Sometimes, you just get lucky.

I got lucky when I Lost Boys’ stories of walking across Sudan, of having childhood reluctantly attended UNC and stumbled across a bizarre and friends disappear from the refugee camp in the night, of wonderful place called St. Anthony Hall.

More than anything it means engaging and serving the global community, at home and very far away, and young people today are acutely aware of this. They feel compelled to make a difference to the issues and challenges faced by a planet of seven billion people. Nearly 55 percent of all young people in America—nearly twice the adult rate of 29 percent—volunteer and participate in The Global Class community service. They contribute more than 1.3 billion hours of service each year and increasingly they express a desire to make an impact globally as well as locally. I was lucky to have the former Lost Boys shape and change my young life. I was even luckier when, in 2010, my long- standing relationship with these amazing individuals allowed me to engage the high school and middle school students I worked with to get involved in making a difference.

The fraternal glad tidings were continued at a very convivial after- party at the venerable Number Six Club on Memorial Drive. Bro. Gary Stahlberg’s Ξ’89 famous exotic cocktail concoctions fueled the friendly spirit. The merriment lasted until dawn.

It embraces alumni relations, public relations, marketing, internal and external communications, and fundraising. All of these position the institution to secure resources and support. For 165 years St. Anthony Hall has enjoyed the brotherhood, and more recently the sisterhood, of undergraduates and graduates from 18 colleges and universities, 11 of which remain active chapters. More than 7,300 alumni around the world come together under the overall leadership of the Grand Chapter, the St. Anthony Educational Foundation (SAEF), and 1847, Inc. The St. Anthony Educational Foundation is the nonprofit wing that raises its funds through individual solicitations and grants, and provides financial support to undergraduates and chapters for intellectual pursuits, and other educational opportunities. The Fraternity of Delta Psi also raises its funds through individual solicitations, and provides the funding for the non-educational, administrative expenses necessary to operate the Fraternity. Annual giving to The Hall Fund provides critical operation resources for both entities. As you will see from the charts below, Advancement Committee only 4% of our alumni are giving in an average year. This low level of William R. Peelle, Jr. E’68, Chair support will not sustain the organization indefinitely. We encourage Δ all alumni to consider making a gift to the Hall to help us continue Alexander T. Cook ’74, Chair of The Hall Fund providing the support and programming that helps define our Order. Elise B.

17 St. Anthony Educational Foundation Grants

Founded in 1956 through the generosity of Hall alumni, the St. Anthony Educational Foundation (SAEF) became a 501(c)(3) public charity in 1984. Through the years, the SAEF endowment has grown through contributions and bequests from hundreds of brothers and sisters.

Since its inception, SAEF has awarded grants for educational purposes to undergraduates, alumni, and chapters. These grants range from a few hundred dollars to a maximum of $2,500 for individuals and $6,000 for chapters. Samples of projects funded in the past five grant cycles include: • Adult stem cell and bioethics research in Japan • Participation in a reading proficiency program for elementary students • Field research on children’s health issues in Latin America • Organization of a chapter art exhibit • Restoration of a chapter’s rare books • Research of early Ottoman-period architecture in the rural West Bank of Palestine • Sustainable energy improvements in a chapter’s house and the creation of an energy improvement guide for all chapters Our members are bright, creative individuals with incredible talents. For every project that receives funding, there are others with sufficient merit to fund if more resources were available. The graphs below show the number of grants applied for and funded over the past five grant cycles. The chart at the bottom provides a full overview for this same time period. We hope that someday the resources will be available to fully fund all deserving projects.
