The journey starts in Jamaica, heads to the United States of America, and moves to China, but the story of Aldwyn Sappleton, Oklahoma, does not end there. His journey is just beginning, but an interesting turn and recent milestone was when Brother Sappleton was able to compete in Beijing repre- senting his homeland, Jamaica, in the men’s 800m track and field event. Brother Sappleton’s interests extend beyond training for his track and field events—reaching into international business and economics. Aldwyn was previously featured in the March 2006 issue of The DELTASIG after receiving his undergraduate degree from Oklahoma (2004) and establishing a school record in the 800 meters (approximately half a mile). In 2005, Aldwyn lowered his own school record to 1 minute and 47.43 seconds, while also claiming the Big XII conference indoor record at 1 Brother Aldwyn Sappleton, Oklahoma, (3rd from left), along with fellow Jamaican track team members, enjoys the Bird’s Nest during the Closing minute and 48.25 seconds.

NOVEMBER 2008/THE DELTASIG OF DELTA SIGMA PI 5 Kansas Alumnus Adolph “The Baron” Rupp Honoring a Coaching Legend

by Jay Langhammer

1922 Kansas (Iota) initiate, the Aman known as “The Baron” was a legendary figure in college basketball over five decades and ranks as one of Delta Sigma Pi’s top alumni in the sports world. Adolph Rupp served as head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats from 1930 to 1972, winning 876 games and four NCAA championships. He coached longer and with greater success than any previous basketball coach in the college ranks. He also established a winning tradition at Kentucky that was rivaled only by UCLA, under coach John Wooden. In 1976, Rupp Arena in Lexington was named in his honor and opened as the largest facility ever built specifically for basketball, with an offi- cial capacity of 23,500. Adolph Frederick Rupp was born on September 1, 1901 to Henry and Anna Rupp, who had immigrated to Halstead, Kansas, from Austria and Germany. His father provided his five sons a chance to play athletics by building a baseball dia- mond on their 113-acre farm, a favorite playground for community children. Rupp proved to be better at basketball than baseball, playing at Halstead High School from 1915 to 1919. He decided to attend Kansas and played guard from 1920 to 1923 for legendary Hall of Fame coach Forrest “Phog”Allen. While on campus, he also learned much about the inner workings of the game from Kansas faculty member James Naismith, the creator of basketball. After graduation, Rupp looked into opportunities in banking, but began teaching economics and coached at sev- Adolph Rupp, Kansas, head coach at Kentucky from 1932 to 1972, was one of the most successful eral high schools in Kansas, Iowa and coaches in the history of American college basketball.

Retired Colorado-Boulder Professor John Lymberopoulos Receives Unexpected Gift by Ashley Korn John Lymberopoulos, Colorado-Boulder, never anticipated the gift he received from one of his former students—a room named in his honor. During the fall of ’07, the Leeds School of Business completed a major renovation and significant expansion of their physical facility on the Boulder campus. Prior to the completion of the project, the university’s Foundation went out to the various publics seeking contributions to cover the cost of this project. A for- mer student of John’s gave a donation in his teacher’s honor and Brother Lymberopoulos received a room named in his honor. A professor emeritus of international business and finance at Colorado’s Leeds School of Business, John has prided himself in being an accomplished professor, impacting the lives of many of his students. “It goes without saying that this gesture of support touched me with great appreciation and humility.” In addition to being an honored professor at Colorado-Boulder, Brother Lymberopoulos has also served as the dean of the division of continuing education as well as the chancellor of the Denver campus and the associate dean of the Leeds School of Business. Despite all his achievements, teaching (which he’s been doing since he was 21) remains his ideal pro- fession. “My favorite role is that of a professor who is given the opportunity to work with and formulate the thinking of the young and brightest on campus,” says the long-term Alpha Rho Chapter Advisor. John Lymberopoulos Colorado-Boulder And it is with some of those students that he gets to share his experience with Delta Sigma Pi. “It is my firm belief that young people constitute the greatest resource that any nation can have. I feel truly privileged to not only have been a Deltasig for the past 50+ years,” he says, “but that I also had the privilege to observe and work with the young people who have become members of our Fraternity.” Brother Lymberopoulos actually retired from Colorado-Boulder in 2001, but says he still continues his presence in the class- room with the same degree of commitment and enthusiasm. And who knows, if he keeps it up he may have a whole building named after him! L

Chinese or Russians. This does not mean that proclaiming “American supe- riority” will win you any business. In fact, many Indian buyers react negative- ly to such talk.

Business Tip 7: Be patient, or don’t start at all. If you are looking for a quick win, India will likely disappoint you. Indians are cautious about new business rela- tionships.You may also encounter unex- pected or unfamiliar competitors from Europe, Israel, or from the Far East. Early orders might emerge months later than you first expect. Ramp-up may be prolonged as well. Once you are established, however, you will find those very relationships can serve as barrier to entry for your competitors. This is partly why General Electric and Citibank boast about their decades-old connections with India. Regardless of where India figures in your global expansion plans today, it will surely occupy an important place four years from today. But you must start now.

As part of Delta Sigma Pi’s Centennial commemoration, the Fraternity’s Board of Directors and the Delta Sigma Pi Leadership Foundation Board of Trustees created the 2007 Centennial Society. Membership in the Society was limited to those individuals providing $2,007 in unrestricted gifts between July 1, 2003 and June 30, 2008. Membership was bestowed to individ- uals upon reaching $2,007. The funds raised through membership in the 2007 Centennial Society will be used to support and secure future educational, leadership and scholarship opportunities for our brotherhood. A final list of the 211 Centennial Society members will be on permanent display at the Central Office. Here is the final list, as of June 30, 2008 (*denotes deceased):

That summer with bills increasing, he also found a job working at a group home where troubled boys were given Affinity Partners! the opportunity to be reintroduced into society.“It felt good that I was helping, but it got frustrating at times when you see talented kids wasting their time and not making use of the opportunities they are presented.” In October 2007, he applied for an internship he was proba- bly “over-qualified” for with the Oklahoma Department of Commerce, but it was an opening into an area that had long- term growth and development. That internship led to a perma- nent position in February 2008 in the area of research and eco- nomic analysis. Later that month, Aldwyn qualified for the World Championships at a Boston meet. In October, he started his own strict schedule of training from 6:00–8:00 A.M., working at the Department of Commerce from 8:00 A.M–3:00 P.M. then finishing his day from 3:00– 11:00 P.M. at his job at the group home. Occasionally, he’d also help supervise the operation of suites and courtside club events at Oklahoma football or basketball games. In retrospect Sappleton notes “while I had to take two or three jobs to get my bills back on track, it was probably my demise later in the season… . I’m still not sure how I made it through that sched- ule—but I did.” It didn’t take long before Aldwyn would need to re-organize his day to keep focus on his Olympic goal, and right before the World Indoor Championship he gave up his job at the group home and only worked from 7:00 A.M.– 4:00 P.M., training from 5:00–7:30 P.M. This also gave him time to get to his physiotherapist appointments to help him heal and train properly. Sappleton says “The World Indoor Championship was held in Valencia, Spain March 7–9. I competed in the 800m and the 4x 400m relay. While I did not advance to the semi-finals in the The Affinity page of www.dspnet.org (Partner/Discounts) 800m, two days later I competed in the 4x400m relay and has a new look!

While he spent nearly a month in China, he will tell you he really only had one day after his race where he was able to see the sights. Aldwyn opted to visit the Great Wall of China. He spent the day with his agent, a sprinter (US 4x100M sprinter MeChelle Lewis) and their friends and family.“We ran into a talented female sprinter from Bahrain; the guys had to be care- ful not to have physical contact with her, but she had no objec- tions with us taking a group picture.”On his way to The Great Wall he also found a cozy little alcove tucked within the city, mostly occupied by locals (fishing in the river near-by). While he found the driving and traffic “crazy, even for me as a Jamaican,”he did enjoy haggling for bargains on knock-offs at The Silk and Pearl market and watching others get “ripped off.” Brother Sappleton got to see more of the Closing Ceremonies and was pleased to be close enough to get a pic- ture of Jackie Chan. He says he is still trying to process his entire Olympic experience. He also views his first Olympics as an “orientation process.”It was an opportunity to show my stuff on the world stage and to meet other interesting individuals with different talents.“The way Jamaica came together as a team of athletes led to our best Olympic showing.” He also thanks all his Deltasig brothers for cheering him on. The Olympic Village served as the temporary home for runner Aldwyn Sappleton during the Beijing Olympics. Aldwyn is used to traveling the Back in the USA world. Born and raised in Jamaica, he currently resides in Oklahoma. Upon his return to the U.S. in September, Brother Sappleton attended an Oklahoma chapter meeting. He continues to regu- larly support his collegiate chapter.“Brothers such as Michelle Go = China Van Winden, his pledge educator, was there listening to me In July, with the support of his family (who tells him he can almost every day and provided encouragement for track and do anything!), Aldwyn started the journey to China with stops helped professionally with my resume and cover letter.
