Fishers, IN 46038-2008. SPRING 2015 3 The Legacy of Hugh Shields

Fifty years ago this spring, April 9, 1965 to be exact, one of the giants of Delta Tau Delta entered the Chapter Eternal. Hugh Shields (Indiana University 1926), the 64-year-old ex- ecutive vice president who had guided the Fraternity since 1930, died in after a brief illness. Five decades later the name Hugh Shields remains robust in the contemporary language of Delta Tau Delta. It is synonymous with achievement because of the Hugh Shields Award for Chapter Excellence, presented annually since 1966 by the Arch Chapter to the top 10 chapters in the Fraternity. To “win a fl ag” is the pinnacle of chapter achievement within Delta Tau Delta. But as meaningful as the award has proven to be in the ongoing life of the Fraternity, Hugh Shields the man is even more important. He remains a near mythic fi gure in Delta Tau Delta’s 157-year history. Th ough an ever-dwindling number of Delts can say they experienced him personally, his impact and his omnipresence within our Fraternity live on in myriad ways. A more in-depth remembrance of this Delt giant will be featured in the June edition of the Rainbow. It will include personal anecdotes about him, including a poignant mem- ory from a Delt now well into his 60s about being befriend- ed as a youngster by the childless Shields and receiving a Delt pledge pin from him.
