These parents are some dedicated (and challenging at times) individuals the chapter has to use as resources. They recently launched a new website, that allows them all to stay apprised of what's going on at the chapter& .can give you some insight to their level of organization

Jeff White (Long Beach 1995) and Wayne Evans (Long Beach 1993) organized the fund raising campaign which raised more than $4,000. This year's effort expanded upon the success of last year's total by a factor of 4. A truly remarkable accomplishment considering the current economic climate.

The Long Beach Alumni participated in honor of Wayne's son, Dylan. Dylan was born 4 months early and due to his extraordinary course, has lost much of his sight to a condition called Retinopathy of Prematurity. Dylan is a student in the Center's Pre-School Program.

(There is a picture of Wayne and Dylan crossing the finish line back in 2007 in the "more photos" link)

Delta Chi is sad to announce the shooting death of Dr. George Tiller (Kansas '63).

Dr. Tiller was shot and killed on May 31, 2009, during worship services at the Reformation Lutheran Church in Wichita, where he was serving as an usher and handing out church bulletins.

Dr. Tiller was a very generous donor to the Kansas Chapter, especially during their most recent house expansion. He leaves behind a 45 year marriage, 5 children, 40 grandchildren and a business with over 30 employees.

Among the recipients at the 2009 Greek Awards Winners from the College of William and Mary was our Chapter winning: Excellence in Service and Support of Others, Excellence in Risk Management. Inter-Fraternalism Award, the Chapter Achievement Award for Progress.

Missouri Delta Chi received:

• Honorable Mention for the Chancellor's Cup Award (compared to DX President's Cup)
• Honorable Mention for the Greek Unity Cup Award (in efforts to unify the entire Greek Community)
• Best Scholarship Program Award (for our program that will be implemented next semester)
• Youngblood Award for Associate Members (for our written AM program)
• Delta Chi was in competition with 27 other fraternal organizations on campus. This year the Chapter has grown from nine to 27 members!!

They were awarded first place; best set and best costumes.

They not only won Greek Sing but also raised over $2153.50 for various charities, collected 2118 can food items, had over 35 guys donate blood, and many other things making us one of two Chapters on campus to obtain Platinum Level. We still might be the smallest on campus at about 45 guys but we show that The Delta Chi Fraternity is the greatest.

The Event is a Kickball Tournament that all the fraternities and sororities on campus will be participating in. It is set up to raise funds for 2 of our brothers we lost last semester to Leukemia. We have a lot of local businesses involved as well as local business men such as Dr. Sullivan and Rob Sullivan. All the proceeds for the event will be donated to The Jimmy V Foundation and a non profit organization called Jeffreys Voice. If you could please get back to me ASAP, I would love yalls support in this matter.

"Imagine having all the fame of being the highest rated high school football player in the country. Imagine having a future full of possibilities and a girlfriend of completely loyalty... Now, imagine all of this slipping away...

This scenario is of 16-year-old high school football player Billy Newman of Old Woodville High School. When Billy's father dies of a sudden and tragic heart-attack, a mysterious man, named Brock, who claims to be a former friend of Billy's father comes to "watch-over" Billy's progress. At first, Billy is able to perform well, but after a terrifying injury at the hands of a wreckless opposing player, Billy starts to question Brock's true intentions as to why he has come to Woodville. Why has Brock come? Will Billy come to trust Brock and utelize Brock's plan of success to help him recover from his injury in enough time to save Old Woodville's season? The time-table for potential redemption or complete failure has just begun..."

I am serving as a Jewish Service Corps volunteer for the Agahozo Shalom Youth Village (ASYV), a special project of some very dedicated people and the non-sectarian arm of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. Genocide, War, AIDS, and life itself have left at least 20% of Rwanda's population orphaned. When the village opens in December, ASYV will become the new home for its first class of 125 orphans, restoring the rhythm of life and - with the resources of a healthy home and community - provide the space and freedom to discover, learn, create, and grow into poised leaders of the Rwanda of tomorrow. When it's complete, ASYV will serve 500 high-school aged orphans from every part of Rwanda.

Along the way, I hope I can share some of the stories of the people I meet and come to know. I hope you'll enjoy discovering this country alongside me.

Armed with rags and paint remover, over 20 students from Delta Chi Fraternity at Gannon University set out Sunday morning to clean up graffiti splashed across the back of buildings along west 26th street and tagged garages hidden in alleyways.

Matthew Soffel, a brother of the Fraternity, said preserving the reputation of the city is why he and the rest of his fraternity were out trying to reserve the damage done by a handful of people.

Jessica Huran-Kunco works in conjunction with the graffiti task force... a force that has been working hard over the past year to erase the vandalism, but cleaning the tagged buildings is just a part of the puzzle at stopping graffiti. The Task force is working hard to find long range solutions to the problems by trying to put ordinances in place and apply for grants to put security cameras in place.

Until their is a long range solution, removing graffiti as quickly as possible is extremely important to send a clear message to the vandals, and the brothers of Delta Chi agree that graffiti is something their fraternity won't stand for. - Posted on 6:19 pm Sun October 26 2008 by Cheryl Scott of WSEE NEWSWATCH."

Attendees ran the gambit from Rowland Ballek '55, a member of our first Delta Chi pledge class at Uconn, to newly minted Associate Members. Cameo appearances were made by Gus Kahramanidis '68, Tom Rock '80, Gordie Hurlbert '81, John Dineen '84 and Bobbie Gentes '08. Scores of other Delta Chis attended, creating a brilliant atmosphere at the corner of A lot, near gate C.
