IOWA CITY, Iowa – When you or someone you love is dealing with a mental health concern, sometimes it’s a lot to handle. It’s important to remember that mental health is essential to everyone’s overall health and well-being, and mental illnesses are common and treatable.

May is Mental Health Month was started 70 years ago by the national organization, Mental Health America, to raise awareness about mental health conditions and the importance of good mental health for everyone. Last year, Mental Health Month materials were seen and used by over 30 million people, with more than 16,000 entities downloading MHA’s tool kit.

A healthy lifestyle can help to prevent the onset or worsening of mental health conditions, as well as chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. It can also help people recover from these conditions. For those dealing with a chronic health condition and the people who care for them, it can be especially important to focus on mental health.

That is why in 2019 we are expanding upon last year’s theme of 4Mind4Body and taking it to the next level, as we explore the topics of animal companionship, spirituality and religion, humor, work-life balance, and recreation and social connections as ways to boost mental health and general wellness.

During May, MHA will also look at how these topics may be especially beneficial to people who are living with chronic physical illnesses as we ramp up to MHA’s 2019 Annual Conference – Dueling Diagnoses: Mental Health and Chronic Conditions in Children and Adults, June 13-15 in Washington, D.C. where MHA will be discussing the impact and intersection of chronic conditions and mental health.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Delta Chi will host the next installment in its Open Door Webinar series on Wednesday, April 24, 2019 at 7 p.m. CST.  The topic for the webinar is “Making the Most of Campus Resources,” an open forum, featuring Nicki Rowlett (Director of Leadership & Education) and Jake Tomlin (Director of Fraternity Services), to discuss common campus resources for chapters to utilize, tips for how to cultivate positive relationships with campus-based professionals, and what services are available to members. Both Nicki and Jake are former campus-based professionals and have done extensive work in the field of fraternity and sorority life, as well as higher education.

To register for the webinar, please visit the following link. After registering, you’ll receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.  As officers, you have a responsibility to yourself and your chapter to be able to make positive strides, now and in the future.  Please consider joining this webinar.  For questions, please contact Davis Millard, Director of Member Safety, at dmillard@deltachi.org.

Alex Castro, Kingsville ’17, is a former “F” for his chapter and current ABT member.  Brother Castro has made a substantial impact on the chapter and ABT, installing several positions on the Board that serve the specific needs of the chapter.  He is highly involved in member development, establishment, and the support of the chapter’s mission.

Castro stands out from the typical volunteer due to his tireless work ethic, efforts, and consistency in giving his time and energy around the clock to help the chapter achieve more and be among the leaders in the Greek community at Kingsville.

He recently developed an ABT webpage for the chapter that allows the “E” to communicate with alumni and the community and has developed an annual gift plan for alumni which will be created into scholarships and support funds to send members to conferences.  Additionally, it will create allotments for members who seek internships.

Tom Bossier, Eastern Illinois ’12, serves as the “BB” for the Eastern Illinois Chapter and recently attended the Region V Regional Leadership Conference in Angelo, Indiana.  During Brother Bossier’s time as “BB”, he has helped the chapter with operational challenges, regularly attends events, and has played a vital role in the development of members.

During Tom’s time as our “BB”, his dedication to Delta Chi and our chapter has been unmatched. He is constantly providing the Chapter with the best advice he possibly can. Tom has been an outstanding alumnus, “BB”, brother, and friend, and we look forward to continuing to work with him in the future.”

Tom is very dedicated to Delta Chi and, despite only being an undergraduate member for one semester before graduating, he bleeds red and buff just as much as the members who were active longer.”

– Dalton Davison, Eastern Illinois “B”

Tom’s insight as a leader, alumnus, and dedicated brother brings us all closer to the betterment of our chapter.”

– Jon Gentry, Eastern Illinois Scholarship Chairman

Tom was active for only a very short time (as an undergraduate member), but in that time he put in so much dedication and hard work. Since graduating, he continues to show that he bleeds red and buff by working closely with the chapter and leading us in all areas possible.”

– Logan Marr, Eastern Illinois “C

Tom’s advice and insight has helped me become a more thoughtful member and brother in Delta Chi. His passion for our chapter pushes me to stay involved with our chapter long after I graduate and move into my career field. He is truly an outstanding brother and a great friend.”

– Evan Boggs, Eastern Illinois Social Chairman

The passion Bossier puts into his role as “BB” is unparalleled, regularly contributing to the needs of the Executive Board, the members, and alumni.
