Summer 2014 3 More than anything, I believe that by removing alcohol from our facilities, we have been able to focus on things that make us a better organization. While we concentrate a great deal on risk management education, our volunteers and staff no longer regularly focus on incidents involving alcohol. We are now able to broaden our focus to other progressive programming for our members. The recent media coverage of Fraternity binge drinking and hazing shows us how far we’ve come, but also demonstrates the ongoing opportunity we have to be a better organization. While “There is no word in we’re encouraged that the author, Caitlin fraternity life accorded Flanagan, of the article The Dark Power of Fraternities mentioned our alcohol-free more reverence than housing efforts in a positive light in a “leadership.” Phi Delta follow-up article, we need to remain vigilant Theta has exemplified to maintain the positive momentum it.”—Caitlin Flanagan, we’ve seen. That means putting a stop to The Washington Post destructive hazing “traditions” that add nothing to the undergraduate experience. One last comment before I go. The Foundation recently offered a wonderful experience, hosting a number of prominent alumni from all over the country at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. We honored our three astronauts, Neil Armstrong, F. Story Musgrave and Jon McBride. Signing off They are American heroes and we are proud to call them Brothers in the Bond. As I addressed our gathering, the space shuttle Atlantis hung prominently overhead. This wonderful piece of history and aerospace is breathtaking. I couldn’t help tie our great American space program and s the late, great famous Phi Don Meridith used to sing, “Turn out being the preeminent leader in space to all the wonderful accomplishments the lights, the party’s over.” As I wrap up my term as President of our our fraternity has achieved for over 165 years. I felt such great pride to be an A great Fraternity, I’m proud of the accomplishments of the General American as well as a member of Phi Delta Theta. Council, Foundation Trustees, our volunteer corp and our outstanding I’m excited as the next biennium is upon us. I look forward with staff. I believe we’ve never been in a better position as an organization to anticipation and leadership of the next General Council, and am continue to lead the way for Greek life in the new millennium. ALWAYS…proud to be a Phi! Let me extend a sincere thank you to my fellow Council members—the amount of time, effort and dedication they show is truly remarkable. Also, Yours in the Bond, the GHQ staff deserves our gratitude for the important work they do every day. They are the backbone of our organization and we couldn’t do what we do without them. I believe our tagline provides a good summary of what we’ve done as an organization the past biennium—we’ve taken steps to “become the greatest Christopher A. Lapple (California State-Northridge ’80) version.” We did this not only through executing our new branding strategy General Council President 2012–2014 online, but we’ve done it through the day-to-day work in our chapters, alumni clubs and the enhanced educational opportunities we are offering our members. Our website’s news section is filled with chapters doing amazing things—from philanthropy to Iron Phi to community service—we are a force for good in our communities. The return to our core values and the implementation of Alcohol-Free Housing has produced overwhelmingly positive results for Phi Delta Theta and the 191 campuses where we exist. We have discovered that many students seek a values-based experience from their fraternity. From 2000, when the policy was fully implemented by all of our chapters until today, we’ve experienced a 41.37 percent increase in the number of new members who join our organization each year. Our total number of undergraduate members has increased 38.64 percent.

Summer 2014 65 Opinion from the Order

Phi Delt friendships last a lifetime Having been a Phi for over 60 years I can say that being a member of Phi Delta Theta offers two quite separate wonderful experiences—one being an active chapter member, and the other being an alumnus. It is this latter experience that I share regarding friendships in the Miami, Florida area. The attached picture is from a Robert Burns Dinner this past February at the Biscayne Bay Yacht Club in Coconut Grove, Florida, in which at one table there were three old time friends and alumni of Phi Delta Theta. From left to right: James Crowder, Georgia Beta, Warren Quillian, Georgia Beta, and Sandy Markham, Kansas Alpha. Jim Crowder is a practicing attorney in Miami, and Warren Quillian and Sandy Markham are physicians—Warren is a pediatrician and Sandy is the Emeritus Executive Associate Dean for Student Affairs at a new medical school in Miami.

Yours in the Bond, Sandy Markham, Kansas ’56 Emeritus Executive Associate Dean for Student Affairs Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology
