Education Manual PHI DELTA CHI Education Manual Phi Delta Chi Professional Pharmacy Fraternity Eighth Edition, 2018 Leaders in Pharmacy℠ Candidate Name: ______________________________________ PHI DELTA CHI Chapter: _________________________________ Page 1 of 85 Foreword Welcome to the beginning of your journey with the PHI DELTA CHI Professional Pharmacy Fraternity! Now that you have officially dedicated yourself to learning more about our organization and professed your willingness to complete the requirements necessary to become a Brother of PHI DELTA CHI, your formal education about the organization can begin. Brothers Dean McCann, Dick Parent, and Dick Smith of Omicron Chapter organized PHI DELTA CHI’s first Pledging Manual on November 2, 1951. In 1965, Brothers of Lambda Chapter revised the Manual, led by Brother Robert Patterson. Subsequent revisions occurred in 1976, led by Beta Beta Chapter; in 1983, led by Delta Chapter and delegates to the 1983 Grand Council; in 1987, led by Alpha Eta Chapter; and between 1998 and 2005, coordinated by Dave Karls and Michael Mohundro. This seventh edition was coordinated by the combined efforts of the Brother Education Committee. Each edition has benefitted from input from Brothers across the country. This iteration of the education manual was designed to help facilitate and foster an interactive and enjoyable series of sessions dedicated to learning more about PHI DELTA CHI – past, present, and future. As you work through this manual with the Chapter’s Facilitator and your fellow Candidates, be mindful of the rich history on which PHI DELTA CHI is founded, and be aware that you can be the future of PHI DELTA CHI. Use this manual as a guide throughout your candidacy and beyond. This manual represents the minimum expected education of a Brother of PHI DELTA CHI. We encourage you to go above and beyond to learn more about PHI DELTA CHI and to get more involved as your journey continues. Just as learning never ceases for a pharmacist to ensure professional competency, your learning and understanding of PHI DELTA CHI will continue to evolve and grow with time. The more you are willing to invest in PHI DELTA CHI, the more you will receive in return. The benefits of being a Brother are many and they span both your professional and personal realms. PHI DELTA CHI unifies its Brothers through common history, purpose, and Ritual. Becoming a Brother of PHI DELTA CHI is not temporary – we are all Brothers for Life.

Leaders in Pharmacy℠ Dedication Candidates, no Brother in PHI DELTA CHI’s history has shaped the Fraternity’s programs or touched as many of our lives as Brother Ralph Saroyan has. Founding Father Azor Thurston was referred to as PHI DELTA CHI’s Grand Old Man, having served as Grand President from 1915 through 1921. Rand P. Hollenback -- a Grand Officer from 1923 through 1965 -- was called the Brother who had crossed paths with more Brothers than anyone. Undoubtedly, with the accumulation of Chapters and Brothers we enjoy today, it is Ralph L. Saroyan who is unsurpassed in embracing change, inspiring successive generations, and constantly seeking more and better ways for PHI DELTA CHI Brothers to help each other and help our profession. Regional Director from 1970-78, Grand Officer from 1978--95, PLEI Board of Directors from 1996--present. Ralph, we salute you, we love you, and we dedicate this Manual to you, recognizing your exemplary leadership, each of us wishing we could be a little bit more like you. Candidates, heed well the counsel from Brother Ralph on the next page. Page 3 of 85 PHI DELTA CHI Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Leaders in Pharmacy℠ Candidate – Congratulations on making one of the more significant decisions of your college life! You have been recruited and selected as someone who will benefit from and contribute to your Chapter and PHI DELTA CHI. Based on the half century of fraternal life I have enjoyed in PHI DELTA CHI, I promise that you will look back on this event as one that changed the trajectory of your professional career. To help you learn more about the organization you are joining, this PHI DELTA CHI Education Manual will provide you with valuable insights and information. This edition — which has been updated in very important ways to reflect life in the 21st century — will prepare you for active membership in your Chapter and help you discover what it means to be PHI DELTA CHI for life. PHI DELTA CHI is the professional fraternity of pharmacy that has “leader development” as its primary mission. This is an important distinction of our Fraternity, one that I hope is central to the bond that has formed between you and PHI DELTA CHI. Although the mantra “leaders in pharmacy” was used by the Fraternity as early as the 1950s, it was in 1989 that our first national Leader-Development Seminar was held, during the Grand Council in Monterey, California. The following year, PHI DELTA CHI began sponsoring biennial Leader-Development Seminars. This program — now administered and expanding through our foundation, the Pharmacy Leadership & Education Institute, PLEI — has touched the lives of thousands of collegiate and Alumni Brothers by providing “personal” and “leader” development through a four-day immersion course. During your Candidacy period, the old cliché, “You will get from PHI DELTA CHI what you put into it,” is particularly relevant. You will challenge yourself as a future leader of the Fraternity and the Pharmacy Profession as well as the Community you will serve. As such, you must balance various aspects of life, including time with family and friends, your health and fitness, your career, and service to your profession and community. During your pharmacy studies, PHI DELTA CHI will act as a fulcrum, helping you to reach this balance. If, however, at any time during your membership education you feel overloaded, rely on our motto, Alterum Alterius Auxilio Eget, or Each Needs the Help of the Other, to get the assistance you need. Finally, Brotherhood in PHI DELTA CHI is a lifelong commitment that goes far beyond your time spent in school. If you are not willing to make this lifetime commitment, I suggest that you reconsider your membership at once. On the other hand, if you have the grit, passion, and perseverance to make this commitment, I wish you a fraternal experience as wonderful, fulfilling, and rewarding as my journey has been. Good luck, Ralph L. Saroyan 25th Grand President 1981-89 Alpha Psi #128 Page 4 of 85 PHI DELTA CHI Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc.

  • Some Notes on Limits
    Some notes on limits Shivaram Lingamneni Fall 2011 1 The standard definition The formal (\delta-epsilon") definition of a limit is as follows: Definition 1 We say that lim f(x) = L x!c if and only if for all > 0, there exists δ > 0 such that 0 < jx−cj < δ implies jf(x) − Lj < . The good thing about this definition is that it defines the limit in terms of the ordinary ideas of subtracting numbers and comparing them with <. It gets rid of the vague and imprecise idea of \approaching" or \getting close to" a value. The problem with this definition is that it is very confusing. To a large extent, it's confusing because it has many of what mathematicians call \quantifiers”; there is a \for all" and a \there exists" in it, and the second quantity (δ) depends on the first (). It's not necessarily easy to wrap your head around the relationship between and δ, and how they relate to the behavior of the function f. In fact, it gets a little worse before it gets better. The above definition has an implicit \for all" that we can make explicit: Definition 2 We say that lim f(x) = L x!c if and only if for all > 0, there exists δ > 0 such that for all x 6= c in (c − δ; c + δ), jf(x) − Lj < . 1 To get a clearer picture of what this is actually saying, let's negate the definition | let's write out explicitly what it means for L not to be the limit of f(x) at c.
