For folks from my generation, before even e-mail was available, the only way we’d talk to our brothers was by giving them a phone call or a holiday card. The advent of e-mail, and now Facebook along with other social networking sites, allow you to truly stay in touch with your brothers long after graduation and you can reach out to brothers you haven’t heard from in years. You may not be aware that one of the leaders at Facebook is a Phi named Dave Morin; we profile him in this issue. This new technology has changed our chapters and has changed the way we work at headquarters, and one of the General Council’s goals for this biennium is to increase the learning opportunities for our members through the use of technology. To that end, we’ve started offering Web-based education for our members and volunteers, enhanced Web site functionality and the chance to share our story to a much broader audience. Speaking of good stories, our cover story in this issue is on Don Bornhorst, a fellow Eastern Kentucky Phi who has gone on to do great things in the airline industry, but remains grounded in the virtues of Phi Delta Theta. I also want to point out fellow Eastern Kentucky Phi Rick Robinson has a new book out called Sniper Bid. Read more about it on page 17. We hope you continue to enjoy The Scroll and the information we share with members in each issue. We will continue to mail a printed version of the magazine through next summer (2010). After that time we will mail a printed magazine to members of Phi Delta Theta’s True Blue Society (more information is available on the back cover of this issue and on page 63). Select magazine content will be available online after the summer, 2010 issue, but only True Blue members will receive the printed magazine. There are other benefits to joining your brothers in the True Blue Society, from discounts at Brooks Brothers to a special recognition lapel pin. It’s our goal to make True Blue a way to extend the Fraternity experience beyond the college campus. Thank you, again for your continued support of this great organization. It continues to be an honor to serve you as your president. Yours in the Bond, Mark H. Ochsenbein General Council President 2008–2010. 4 Spring/Summer 2009 Spring/Summer 2009 06 ........Stats 07 .........Chapter News 14 ..........Club News 16 ..........Phi Footnotes 24 .........Phi Sports A consultant’s journal Departing Leadership Consultant Kevin Bazner reflects on traveling for Phi Delta Theta raveling for the Fraternity over the past two years, hopping around 3.
