Betty received no extra pay for turning cook in the late hours of a long day. She did it solely because of her affection for the fraternity and its members. Betty admits that one of her happiest experiences was when her fiftieth year as Deltasig housemother was cele­ brated at "42" and she had a chance to renew associations with so many of her old friends who dropped in to visit her. Recently a few of her Deltasig boys took her to a perfor­ mance at the Chicago Stadium and arranged for her to have a seat on the edge of the rink. To her complete sur­ prise, Richard Dwyer, vice president of the show and pre­ mier performer, skated up to Betty in his white tie and tails and presented her with a beautiful bouquet of red roses. Betty's saddest moments, she avers, are when she learns of the death of "one of her boys." Until his sudden death of a heart attack in his room at the house, Don F. Holem, house manager for more than 20 years, had in the last six months assisted Betty in the making of beds, doing so before he reported for work at noon. Since his demise, the 20 men living in the Beta house have been trying to lighten Betty's load by making their own beds, and one young resident, who has been living at the house for the past six years, nightly fills the boiler, assuring plenty of hot water for bathing. Betty gets her roses at the Ice Follies. It has always been Betty's desire to keep the house as clean and appealing as possible so that each member would feel pride in belonging to the International Frater­ nity of Delta Sigma Pi, and so that each guest will have the best possible impression of the fraternity.

DUQUESNE THETA RHO CHAPTER at Duquesne Uni­ versity has never been and will never be­ come a lifeless, apathetic member of Delta Sigma Pi. The recent spring semester became a sterling example of spirit, achievement, and new ventures individually and aggrega tely. The first notable venture was undertaken by one of the most professional and well­ respected members of our chapter, President Daniel P. Duffy. As president, Dan is some­ times in the not so enviable position of mak­ ing some very big decisions as his authori· tative status would indicate. But, of all the decisions this very fine gentleman has made in his 20 years of experience and his com­ paratively brief one year tenure as president, none was more meaningful than his decision to allow another to share a lasting life with him. So it was at Duquesne University's Chapel, Brother Dan Duffy married the for­ mer Laura Carr. May happiness not only fol­ low Dan and Laura but surround them. The spring semester also witnessed yet A Hero's Welcome for Ed Hook given by Brothers of Theta Sigma Chapter at Florida Tech at another successful pledge period thanks to the joint celebration of Founders' Day and the College of Business Picnic.

ScoTT As the academic year comes to a close we look back at the activities we have shared as brothers. We think of the tours which we have gone on, which included .the Rubbermaid plant in Wooster, Oh10, Oh1? Bell m Colu~­ bus, Ohio, Packard Electnc m Warren, Oh10, Merrill Lynch in Columbus, Ohio, and the Marine Midland Bank in Buffalo, New York. Also we think of the speakers we have heard, plus projects, offices held, the committees we have served on, and of course the regular meetings along with other activities. These fill our minds with thoughts which we won't forget and we feel will probably help us as we prepare to enter the business world. As we look toward graduation we find we have many seniors graduating and thus leav­ ing the great halls of Copeland Hall. But since we have all worked together throughout the year we find the underclassmen ready, willing, and able to fill the positions left open by the graduates. Included in these members are our new pledge class which includes: Don Baetzold, Norman Scherer, Mark Galpin, and Dave Ferry. We know our brothers of Alpha Omicron Chapter will keep the dub function­ ing as it has in the past and of course build and strengthen it in the year to come. We also have great faith in the professors which we have initiated this year. These professors are Dr. Robert Raymond, Dr. Harry Grew son, Dr. Dwight Pugh, Dr. Meno Lovenstein, and Jon Reiff, Assistant Professor of Law. We know they will be a great asset to the chapter in years to come. We have done some other rather new things for our chapter in the course of this year which we would like to mention. The first activity is what might be called a magazine drive. We contacted the professors in the college of business and many of them have consented to sponsor business related magazines for our chapter. This way we have an up-to-date view of what is happening in the business world. Another one of our projects was to help stu­ dents schedule for the upcoming quarter. Usually the professors take care of this, but we found that by combining our efforts with those of the professors everyone seemed to benefit. Oftentimes students feel they can discuss things with other students which you might not feel at ease discussing with a professor. To start Spring quarter we got together with the business sorority here at Ohio Uni­ versity and sponsored a book exchange. This had really a three fold purpose: (1) We hoped, to help students reduce the costs of their books, (2) We felt we would learn by organiz­ ing and operating it, not to mention the M 5 E Wimberly wife of the late Brother Sam Wimberly, displays the bronze plaque money making end of it, and (3) We got to d;:icating the Florida Atlantic Univ~rsity Library to his memory.

In addition to these there are about eight other members who are still loyal to th chapter and around whom the chapter is now successfully rebuilding. With the help of the chapter advisor, Dr. Charles Treas, the new officers and other members selected a group of eligible men for rush and on February 20 the chapter held a very successful rush party at the Mid-Valley Oil Company Club House, with a keg of cold draft beer . More than 75 attended this party, including two faculty members. On February 27, at an impressive pledging ceremony in Conner Hall, 36 neophytes were officially pledged. This is a very fine group of pledges and the chapter appears to be making a splendid comeback. Plans have been made to hold the first pledge education meeting on March 6 at the Mid-Valley Club House and to have a St. Patrick's Day party on March 17 with the University Chancellor, Dr. Fortune, as guest speaker. The Chancellor is an honor­ ary member of Alpha Phi Chapter. Several other spring events are planned, including a field trip, more parties, outstand­ ing speakers on various topics of interest, and of course, the spring initiation banquet in April. Alpha Phi Chapter is proud to be back among the virile chapters of Delta Sigma Pi. -JACK MACKMULL

LOUISIANA STATE BETA ZETA CHAPTER at Louisiana State University began the Spring Semester with the final realization of one of our primary goals- that of relocating the chapter into a new office located within the College of Busi­ ness Administration building. This new office - with its central location and inviting lounge area - has afforded our members an unprecedented opportunity to become more deeply acquainted with each other, and gives our chapter a new unity. Special thanks go to The Memphis 5 Mile Classic, sanctioned by AAU and sponsored by Gamma Zeta Chapter of chapter officers Mark Seale, Steven Willis, Delta Sigma Pi.

For the second time in the 1974-75 school year, business students were given the aid of pre-registration counseling by the Deltasigs from this chapter.

WASHBURN DELTA CHI CHAPTER at Washburn Uni­ versity recently celebrated its fifteenth an­ niversary with a chapter birthday party on March 1. The chapter has been involved in a wide range of activities this semester. In re­ gard to membership, the Brothers conducted a successful rushing program which pledged 10 neophytes into the fraternity. On March 20 and 21, the chapter sponsored a business trip to Lincoln, Nebraska. We also in March conducted a survey among Deltasig alumni in the Topeka area in order to form an alumni club. The Brothers organized and conducted the fifteenth annual Business Day at Washburn University on April 11 . Labor, management, and government representatives discussed solutions to the problems of unemployment and inflation. In conjunction with the Busi­ ness Day forum, the Brothers sponsored a Gamma Lambda Chapter members pause on completion of their tour of the lumber Trade Fair and published a booklet which company.

A fund raising project was started by sell­ ing tickets for a portable color television as first prize. The funds will be applied to the U. T. El Paso Business Library and to cover expenses of the fraternity. Socially, a main event during spring is The Rosebowl which is scheduled on April 26. This function serves as a social gathering of Deltasigs with music and dinner provided by the chapter. Our program will terminate with the ini­ tiation of the prospective pledges in April. The Brothers of Gamma Phi Chapter wish all Brothers success in their endeavors. -RuBEN BusTAMANTE ARIZONA STATE THE FIRST ORDER of business was a suc­ cessful rush program, spearheaded this se­ mester by Dean Alsobrook. We turned 14 promising men over to Ralph Benson, and under his watchful eye they became broth­ ers. On May 3 we celebrated their initiation with a sumptuous feast at McCormick Ranch in Scottsdale. Our new brothers were not the only friends we made this spring. Through the efforts of David Williams, this semester began with a discussion by the enigmatic Dr. Carol Caul, who informed and forewarned us of the im­ plications of strict product liability. In March Mr. Don Edwards of Executive Engineering Consultants talked about the procurement of key personnel in industry. Later in the term, the uses and services of the Better Business Bureau were explained to Gamma Omega Chapter by Mr. Carl Van Haaften, who is Members of Theta Sigma Chapter at Florida Tech and guide examining the type plates director of the Phoenix unit. during a tour of the Sentinel Star Newspaper Company in Orlando- In addition to arranging our banquet, Van Holland engineered quite a softball game and picnic with alumni and our brothers from Gamma Psi Chapter and Zeta Omega Chap­ ter. We also relaxed with a barbecue with Phi Chi Theta and Phi Beta Lambda. Newly instituted was the Upright Film Festival, replacing the Arizona State University Pie Plate Film Festival, which is now being run by Kevin O'Regan. The Brothers combined exercise and fun with good community relations when we bicycled our way across the desert in a fund­ raising campaign for local charities. We were able to make money for ourselves as well, by rejuvenating interest in the Deltagon, a project which was headed by Van Bedell. A new and popular money-raising event was the sponsoring of a golf tournament at Golden Hills Country Club. Stop out and visit us if you can; until then the Brothers of Gamma Omega Chapter wish all Deltasigs an increase in happiness and achievement. -WILLIAM R.

NEW MEXICO STATE · EPSILON UPSILON CHAPTER at New Mexico State University has been maintain­ ing a busy pace during the past few weeks. A broad range of fraternity related func­ tions has filled the activities calendar. An enthusiastic chapter of 45 strong is working on a number of projects. A committee spearheaded by Brother Col­ lins is working overtime on "A Seminar for the Advancement of Small Business", to be sponsored by Epsilon Upsilon Chapter and Completing the Rose of Deltasig are members of Alpha Iota Chapter at Drake University held on the N.M.S.U. campus. The seminar at an Impromptu social hour. will cover a diverse group of topics which are of relevance to owners and managers of small businesses. A number of notable indi­ viduals serving as speakers and discussion leaders along with several social activities promise to make the experience practical and inspiring. Vice President for Professional Activities Brother Baer has scheduled several interest­ ing speakers for the professional meetings. Plans have also been formulated for tours to be held during the course of the semester. The chapter has begun work on a food drive which will culminate during the Easter season. N.M.S.U. will be hosting a conference on the world food crisis. The brothers of Epsilon Upsilon Chapter plan to take an active part in the conference. The traditional smoker which was held on February 12 was well attended. A get-to­ gether was held for members and prospec­ tive pledges after the smoker at the home of one of our chapter advisors, Dr. James H. Bullock. A picnic was held at the end of the week to conclude the rush week activities. Epsilon Upsilon Chapter has 20 pledges this semester. Epsilon Upsilon Chapter is as of this date well on its way to achieving our goal of 100,000 points in the Chapter Efficiency Index. The chapter is asking that all alumni of Epsilon Upsilon Chapter send their present address to: Delta Sigma Pi, Guthrie Hall, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, New Mexico 88003. Your assistance in this effort is greatly appreciated. The brothers of Epsilon Upsilon Chapter sincerely hope that all brothers of Delta Sigma Pi are successful in their endeavors during the course of this semester. - ANTHONY L.

Chapter elections were held last quarter. The new officers are busy planning next year's rush program. The chapter has a large number of graduating seniors. Zeta Kappa Chapter closed the spring quarter with their annual "Rose" dance and banquet. Our guest speaker was Dr. Harold Binford. Dr. Binford is the business division chairman at Western State. He is retiring this year after many years of dedicated serv­ ice to the college and the fraternity. The brothers of Zeta Kappa Chapter are looking forward to summer vacation and the Grand Chapter Congress. -BRUCE OTSUKA WEBER ETA LAMBDA CHAPTER has initiated six brothers since our last report. Most signifi­ cant is that among the initiates are two who bring professional experience into the fra­ ternity, something all chapters should strive for in their search for a balanced membership. The Spring formal was held again this year in March at the Ogden Defense Depot Officer's Club. Several alumni and faculty John Watton at left who has joined The Central Office staff as a Chapter Consultant, chats members joined the brothers to make this with President Wayne Blackburn of Zeta Phi Chapter at Florida Atlantic about his new year's formal an overwhelming success. position. John is an alumnus of Zeta Phi Chapter. The Deltasig Student Book Exchange, Business Week, the annual dance and regu­ larly scheduled professional meetings make Spring one of our busiest periods. It is a credit to each member that he can fulfill his respective responsibjlities in preparation for these events and continue to maintain a grade point average which places Eta Lamb­ da Chapter as the scholastic leader on cam­ pus. But then, that's what Delta Sigma Pi is all about. Noteworthy in our professional calendar this Winter was an informal seminar at which several of our alumni spoke and fielded questions concerning the real world of busi­ ness that they experienced in their first one or two years as graduates. They candidly related this to the course work they had undergone and in which we are presently engaged at Weber State. This approach was so successful that we plan to continue the seminar on an annual basis. As commencement date approaches, we, the brothers of Eta Lambda Chapter, would like to extend a warm wish for success to all Delta Sigma Pi graduating seniors. -JOHN A.

SAN FRANCISCO STATE DELTA OMICRON CHAPTER at San Francisco State University has a very ambi­ tious pledge program set up for this coming semester. Our chapter would like a pledge class of around thirty members. The reason for a big pledge class is that we lost a lot of Brothers to graduation and we expect to lose heavily this semester also. Our rushing progra111 is moving along smoothly, thanks to the hard work of our Senior Vice President Jerry Dagna. In addi­ tion to the rushing program we are hoping to initiate five faculty members into our chapter. This will be accomplished by the quick thinking of our President Michael Glenn Verdone, who visited with the faculty hoping to stir up interest in the fraternity. On the professional side of the events we are pleased to announce that the Mayor of San Francisco, Joseph Alioto, is going to be one of our major speakers this semester. Several other surprises are in store for us as Tom Alcedo our Vice President for Profes­ sional Activities has been lining up speakers and field trips for this coming semester. The first party will be a Valentine's Day party for brothers and dates, and we hope for a big turn out from our alumni as well as undergraduate brothers. Most of the broth­ ers are waiting for our annual St. Patrick's Day party, which is always a big event on Delta Omicron's calender. We are hoping for a very good year from our new officers like Vic Kawamura as Pledge Educator, Mike Feijoo as Treasurer, Larry Scott as Secretary, and Steve Hill as C.E.I. Chairman.

The DELTASIG of DELTA SIGMA PI 37 The April 18 poker party left some fond memories, and perhaps a few light~r pockets! Included were the graduating semors of the California State University-Sacramento un­ dergraduate chapter of Epsilon Phi. We ful.Iy anticipate that many of these Brothers w1ll join the Alumni Club in the very near future. The month of May, 1975, is a very busy month. During the first week, next year's Alumni Club officers will be selected based on recommendations of the Board of Directors. All Alumni Brothers in the Sacramento chap­ ter have full opportunity to participate in this selection process which always strengthens the slate of candidates. We welcome next year's officers with a hearty "good luck". Last, but certainly not least, is comment on the annual progressive dinner which has be­ come over the past few years the most antici­ pated social event for the Brothers and wives or guests. Rumor has it that this year's event will be the best ever for the Sacramento Alumni Club.

WHEELI NG THE WHEELING AREA Alumni Club celebrated its second anniversary with a din­ ner meeting at Wheeling's Ramada Inn. The April 22 event was attended by most of the 25 members, their wives, dates and guests, as well as a few "out-of-town" Brothers. Special recognition was given to the officers whose diligent effort made it such a successful year. The highlight of our third year should be the annual family steak fry which is scheduled for July 26, 1975, at Brother Joh n Stavovy's in Washington, Pennsylvania. In addition to abundant food and drink, there will be football, softball, moonlight hayrides and other activities. All Deltasigs are wel­ come.

Dr. Noan Langdale, President of Georgia State, recounts the endless contributions which Brother Manners has made to the university. Brother George Manners accepts his Life Advisor Recognition as Mrs. Manners and Kappa Chapter Chancellor Mike Mazur look on. "DEAN" MANNERS, LIFE ADVISOR Occasionally a chapter has the opportunity of recognizing a member who has achieved national recognition within the fraternity and in the business world. On February 1, Kappa Chapter at Georgia State had just such an honor as it recognized the contributions of Dr. George Manners to the fraternity, installing him as Life Advisor. He was the first Dean of the Business School at Georgia State University and was one of the greatest factors in establishing this successful business school. Present to honor Brother Manners were the President of the University, Vice Presidents, and Deans of other Schools. Many faculty members and alumni were also present to pay their respects. As this was also the quarterly rush dinner, the chapter was delighted by the size and enthusiasm of the crowd. The Executive Director, Ben Wolfenberger, was the featured speaker, speaking on the national features of the fraternity, past, present and future. Mike Mazur, the chapter's chancellor, spoke about Kappa's history to the prospective members. Dr. Francis Executive Director Ben Wolfenbarger, fea­ tured speaker at the Kappa Chapter Ban­ Bridges, the University's Athletic Director and a professor of Management, quet honoring George Manners. told about some of the "happenings" with Dr. Manners.

40 THE May, 1975 ISSUE of LET'S GET OUR ALUMNI INVOLVED AGAIN

Many chapters have forgotten or ignored one of their most valuable assets-their alumni. Whether or not this situation is ~n inh_erited one is ~~mportant; wh~t. i~ important is to begin mvolvmg our alumm m chapter actlv1tles once again.

Being a professional fraternity we constantly desire more professional activities and contacts. How about turning to our alumni? Most of them are professionals and are more than willing to serve the chapters in a speaking capacity and are proud enough of their business to arrange tours of them.

Do you even know who your alumni are? When you find out you might be surprised that quite a few of them are lawyers, CPA's and corporate executives. Neglecting these brothers is unnecessary and useless. Think ofthe potential that is there. It is a high price to pay. Remember that they too have benefited from being a Deltasig.

This situation first came to my attention last November as I began to update our membership address file on a limited basis. Our chapter is looking forward to our upcoming 50th chapter birthday and is attempting to locate all of our brothers to tell them of our pending celebration. I must admit that I didn't expect much of a response, but I certainly underesti­ mated our alumni. Our brothers want to help. They want to be involved in what we are doing. They commonly ask what ac­ tivities we have planned. They want to help in the planning of the chapter birthday. Why have we neglected them this long? I don't know, but it's time to stop neglecting and start involving them. Receiving their letters which express such enthusiasm toward their experiences in Delta Sigma Pi has been so en­ couraging that the feeling is hard to describe.

It's difficult to say who benefits most from this affiliation. The chapter itself is probably the biggest benefactor for it has been strengthened through interaction of its membership, both old and new. Isn't this all part of what being a Deltasig is all about? There's always that special feeling when Deltasigs gather. It's a sort of glowing pride-a knowledge of what it is to be a member of Delta Sigma Pi. It makes me feel good and I can turn my head and say with a smile on my face that I know why I'm a Deltasig.

These interesting comments were sent to us by one of our undergraduate members who wanted to express his feelings. These coments are something to which we might all give some thought. Brother Jeffrey L . Phillippi is an undergraduate member of Alpha Omicron Chapter at Ohio University. ED.
