E. Bernard Franklin, Kansas State ‘75

President, Delta Upsilon International Fraternity

Email: [email protected]

Keeping the Hero AlertIn the fi ne tradition of high-seas heroism, Captain Richard Phillips traded his safety to save his crew from the buccaneer

bandits roaming his ship. Phillips, 53, is a former Boston cab driver. Growing up, he was an athlete and plenty tough. Phillips

had ideas of studying international law, but transferred from the University of Massachusetts to the Massachusetts Maritime

Academy, graduating in 1979. Since then, he has traveled the world at the helm of multimillion-dollar commercial tankers

and massive cargo ships.

US Airways pilot Captain Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger III, safely landed his plane in New York’s Hudson River on

January 15 after it was struck by geese and lost power following take off . All 155 people aboard survived. Sullenberger

graduated from the Air Force Academy in 1973 where he studied psychology and served as a glider pilot instructor. When

he was commissioned, Sullenberger was named best aviator in his class, winning an award called “Outstanding Cadet in

Airmanship.” He served in the Air Force until 1980, when he became a commercial pilot. Sullenberger, who lives in Danville,

Calif., has fl own for US Airways for nearly 30 years and runs a safety-consulting fi rm.

We need heroes. Maybe with all the bad news around us we need heroes to counter. I have never been a hero worshipper.

I admire a great many men for their talents and abilities, and how they have been able to make tough decisions in the face of

great circumstances, like Judge Terry Bulluck, Kansas State ‘61 and our brothers presented here in this issue. But many of the

men the media pitches to us as heroes are just common, every day men who within one single moment took control of their

nerves, emotions, and their cognitive abilities to do something extraordinary.

Instead of putting these men on a pedestal, I have asked myself if I would have had the presence of mind to react so

courageously, and with such precise instincts. Somehow I don’t think those incredible moments just happen. I think these,

and many other, men have in some incredible ways been preparing for their life-changing moment.

In our rush through life, we may miss those training opportunities. Or we may simply ignore them because we don’t want

to get involved in some matters of life. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Heroism is an obedience to a secret impulse of an

individual’s character.”

I believe we can hone those impulses by responding to personal incidents. Maybe we should respond to that quick impulse

on the second walk-by a brother passed out on the couch and stop to see if he is breathing or functioning properly. Or maybe

you listen to your gut when it says “that’s enough alcohol,” because in that cosmic moment your gut is trying to warn you

that you will need a sharp mental presence ahead as a truck just spilled vegetable oil all over the interstate. After swerving

recklessly, you pull over in one of those sweaty breathless moments and realize what may have happened had you not listened

to the impulse.

Emerson also said, “Th e youth, intoxicated with his admiration of a hero, fails to see, that it is only a projection of his own

soul, which he admires.” I agree. Th ere is a hero in all of us.

To keep that hero in us alert for our moment of challenge, we should keep our minds sharp, and eliminate toxins of

spirit and substance. In this period of unprecedented change, all of us at some point may be asked to do the

extraordinary. We may not make the front pages or the TV news shows. But we should all be so alert that

when the opportunity calls, we will be prepared and we will respond.

Justice our Foundation. We recite these

words in our Ritual and they serve as the cornerstone of our

Fraternity, but how often do we refl ect on what actions truly

demonstrate and embrace justice? For some of our brothers,

their commitment to the embodiment of justice extends

beyond their fraternal oath as they have made the ultimate

commitment to stand up for what is just and right by serving

their country.

President James Garfi eld, Williams 1856 said, “Territory

is but the body of a nation. Th e people who inhabit its hills

and valleys are its soul, its spirit, its life.” Th is is true of our

Fraternity. Although each Delta Upsilon chapter defi nes a

physical territory, our individual brothers are truly the soul,

spirit, life and embodiment of our Fraternity.

While most of us go about our daily lives punching our

time clocks, worrying about whether our morning coff ee

is just right, or if our summer is fl ying by too fast, there

are brothers who wake up every morning facing life and

death obstacles. Th ese brothers have made a great sacrifi ce

in choosing to serve their country. Th ey spend time away

from family and friends and put their lives at risk sometimes

on a daily basis. Th ese brothers cast a refl ection upon our

Fraternity that should make all brothers proud. Every time we

see the American fl ag fl y, we should each pause to remember

that regardless of our political affi liations and leanings there

are brothers sacrifi cing and dedicating themselves to justice

and the continued independence, success and greatness of

the United States.

A number of brothers currently serve stateside and in

Iraq, Afghanistan and other areas of operation around the

world. Th e call to serve one’s country reaches out to each

man diff erently drawing him into his chosen branch of the

armed forces. Our brothers all have their own reasons for

joining, but several made the decision to enter with one

common thread -- their fraternal experience and the Delta

Upsilon Oath to pursue Justice. Th e colors these men bare

are not just red, white and blue, but also DU’s “Old Gold and

Sapphire Blue.” Each of these brothers served as a leader in

his chapter and decided to apply his leadership experiences

to a military career. Here are but a few of their stories.

Captain Gregory “Bret” Wedding, Central Florida ‘99

Captain Gregory “Bret” Wedding, Central Florida ’99

is on active duty with the United States Air Force and

assigned to the 80th Aerial Port Squadron. Brother Wedding

previously served as a Captain in the US Army with the 2nd

and 25th Infantry Divisions. He spent most of the last eight

years deployed overseas in Iraq, Afghanistan, Korea and the

United Arab Emirates.

Wedding was active with the Central Florida Chapter

serving as vice-president of recruitment. Brother Wedding’s

fraternal experience left a lasting impression on him

and greatly impacted the leader he has become today. In

refl ecting on the individuals who had an impact on his life,

Brother Wedding identifi ed Brother Stephen D. Sams,

Central Florida ‘95. Brother Sams, a captain in the US

Army, reached out to Brother Wedding while he was still in

Offi cer Candidate School writing him a personal note that

reinforced their fraternal bonds. Eventually Brothers Sams

and Wedding served together overseas.

Stephen D. Sams, Central Florida ‘95

Brother Sams, Cpt. (P), 66th Military Intelligence Company,

3d Armored Cavalry Regiment was a founding father of the

DU’s Central Florida Chapter. He served as vice-president

recruitment, vice-president membership education and vice

president of associate member education. Brother Sams’

fraternal experience had a lasting impact on his leadership

development.

“Th e most important aspect of the DU experience comes

from the openness of the Fraternity. Th e ‘Diff usion of Liberal

Culture’ means that we are open to all personalities, creeds,

colors, beliefs, cultural diff erences, and all the other elements

that make an individual unique. Dealing with diff erent quirks,

learning the patience required to hear what is being said,

and then deciding and acting on behalf of the greater whole

allowed me to be more understanding of my soldiers, peers,

and leaders. More than anything this openness made me

more willing to accept the diff erences between Americans and

Afghans and/or Iraqis. I was able to take the time to listen to

their views rather than just writing them off ” Sams said.

During Brother Sams’ deployments in Iraq, Afghanistan

and Korea he has served with a number of other brothers

from both Central Florida and other chapters, including Cpt.

Chris Coleman, Central Florida ‘01, SPC Daniel “DJ” Jarrett,

Central Florida ‘99 and Brian Hamil, San Jose ‘04.

Brother Sams’ appreciation for his fraternal bonds has

continued to grow over the years and no matter where he

traveled, his brothers were always there to support him.

When returning state side on leave, Brother Sams returns

to the Orlando area, not because he has family in the area

but because that is where his brothers reside. When he has

returned home his brothers (and their wives) open their

homes and embrace him as part of the family. Last fall when

returning home for R&R, Brother Sams met his brothers

for homecoming. He was overcome by the hospitality of the

undergraduate brothers towards him and the other alumni.

Th at weekend Brother Sams had an honor he termed “one of

the best fraternity experiences that any brother could have”

when he was asked to give the charge at Initiation. Brother

Sams’ words that weekend came from the heart and he instilled

in the undergraduates a lesson from his experiences that “it is

the friendships developed during your college years that will

continue to benefi t you throughout your life -- it is this that I

am most thankful for from the fraternity experience.”

For Brother Sams the fraternal impact is reciprocal with

Brother Wedding, as their bonds of friendship have been

strengthened by the time they have spent together overseas

and on leave. While stationed in Korea, Sams and Wedding

took part in the Initiation of Major Joseph T. Ramsey. Ramsey,

then a Captain, was Brother Wedding’s commanding offi cer.

His leadership and character impressed Sams and Wedding

and they believed that he would be an outstanding DU. Th ey

approached Ramsey with their invitation for him to become

a member of Delta Upsilon. Ramsey did not hesitate and

agreed to become a member of the Fraternity. Upon receiving

approval from Central Florida Chapter and the International

Fraternity Brother Ramsey, Central Florida ‘02 was initiated

in his offi ce at Camp Nimble in Tong du Chon Korea.

Jeff Salem, Cal Poly ‘01

Brother Jeff Salem, Cal Poly ‘00 ended his college career

early for personal reasons, but his experience with DU

left a lasting impression. “DU had a strong and enduring

impact on my life and I missed the brotherhood I had

experienced while at Cal Poly.” Brother Salem’s attempt to

fi nd a similar fraternal experience after leaving school led

him to enlisting in the Army.

In 2002, Brother Salem served

with the 82nd Airborne in Iraq

during Operation Enduring

Freedom. Following his active

duty tour, Brother Salem then

attended West Point where he

received his degree in systems

engineering. Brother Salem,

now a Lieutenant attending

fl ight school, is assigned to the

1-145th Aviation Regiment at

Fort Rucker, Ala. Reminiscing

on his fraternal experiences,

Salem admires the enduring

friendship he made and the

fact that he knew that he could

call any brother at any time

and they would stop what they were doing to help him.

Andy Mickley, Miami ‘94

Brother Andy Mickley, Miami ‘94, who served as vice

president of membership development for his chapter as an

undergraduate, is a Lieutenant Commander in the US Navy.

As a Naval Flight Offi cer Mickley fl ew the F-14D from 1998-

2002 and has fl own the FA-18F since 2002. His deployments

have included Operation (Afghanistan) 2001, Operation

Iraqi Freedom 2005 and Operation Enduring Freedom again

in 2008. Mickley has held a number of military jobs, including

most recently Strike Fighter Phase Head, Syllabus Offi cer,

Training Offi cer, Safety Offi cer and Maintenance Offi cer. He

attended the Navy Fighter Weapons School (TOPGUN) in

2002 and was named VFA-122 Instructor Weapons System

Offi cer of the Year in 2003. Mickley has accumulated more

than 2,500 hours in Navy strike fi ghter aircraft and has more

than 500 carrier-arrested landings on seven diff erent aircraft

carriers. He is assigned to VFA-22 based at Naval Air Station

Lemoore, Calif. and attached to Carrier Air Wing Fourteen

on the USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76).

Brother Mickley said he is privileged to be associated with

an incredible fraternity like Delta Upsilon and his brothers

are life long friends – most notably his DU big brother

Dean Sackett, Miami ‘92. Sackett is an international fi nance

specialist who has lived in Asia since his graduation. While

living in Shanghai, China, Brother Sackett visited Brother

Mickley while he was on a port visit to Hong Kong with the

USS Nimitz (CVN 68) in 2005. In 2008, they met during

another port visit to Singapore while Brother Mickley was on

deployment with the USS Ronald Reagan. “We had several

days to catch up at the American Club in Singapore and

had a several good laughs,” Mickley said. Brother Mickley

even showed Brother Sackett his 1991 fraternity big brother

paddle that he has carried with him around the world.

“Th e four guiding principles of Friendship, Culture,

Character and Justice have always been the cornerstone of

my leadership,” Mickley said. “My current job of maintenance

offi cer includes responsibility for 15 offi cers and 185 enlisted.

Th ere are many leadership tenets that apply, but it is summed

up in that ‘everybody watches the boss.’ You must respect

culture, have the utmost character, mentor subordinates and

always think justice; ‘fi rm, fair and consistent’ as important

benchmarks.” All of these, Brother Mickley notes, he learned

as a member of Delta Upsilon.

Brian Hamil, San Jose ‘04

Brian Hamil, San Jose ‘04 served as chapter treasurer and

vice president of public relations as an undergraduate. Hamil

then served with the Th ird Armor Calvary while deployed in

Iraq from November of 2007 through January 2009. Prior to

joining DU, Brother Hamil had never thought about serving

in the military. However, his fraternal experience ignited his

passion for helping others. Of his undergraduate experience

Brother Hamil said, “We spent a signifi cant amount of time

volunteering in the local community. Th e simple act of helping

people in need is what the fraternity and the military are all

about”.

One aspect of Brother Hamil’s life that DU signifi cantly

helped was his time management. “DU requires substantial

amounts of time to the brothers’ schedules; the meetings,

pre-meetings, retreats, and social activities can really hinder

your time. Th en add in the grueling demands of school and

the part-time job and you end up with busy schedule.” While

deployed, Brother Hamil’s time constraints are easier because

there is only one time allocation, the mission; but, the mission

is quite often very long and demanding. “I averaged 14 hours a

day, every day I was deployed. Th is can quickly lead to burnout

and exhaustion, but you cannot resign to this fact as people’s

lives depend on your vigilance.” Brother Hamil compares this

to the later years in college when a brother may become tired

of school and want to quit but forges on because he wants to

earn his degree.

Brother Hamil has only run into one DU during his time

in the military and it turns out that was Brother Sams who

was Hamil’s company commander in Iraq. Brother Hamil

states that Brother Sams’ leadership and wherewithal helped

smooth a very turbulent unit experience. Brother Sams’ had

soldiers spread over an area the size of New Jersey, and most of

his time was spent traversing very dangerous roads in order to

ensure they were safe and had the tools required to complete

their mission. “He is an inspiration to all the soldiers he leads

and should be an inspiration to his fellow DU brothers,”

Hamil said.

Steve Staub, Cal Poly ‘00

Brother Steve Staub, Cal Poly ‘00 is a medical doctor in

the US Navy. He served as a medical corps doctor with the

US Marine Corps in Fallujah. Dr. Staub is quick to defer

any notion that he deserves recognition for his service and

instead said that the Brother he looks to as a leader and hero

is Brother Matt McCarthy, Cal Poly ‘99.

Matt McCarthy, Cal Poly ‘99

Brother McCarthy is a member of the California Army

National Guard. He is a Captain serving with the 1st

Battalion, 184th Infantry Regiment (Air Assault). When

Brother McCarthy joined the National Guard he hoped to

recapture the fraternal camaraderie he enjoyed during college.

While deployed to Iraq from January 2005 and January 2006

McCarthy was a rifl e platoon leader in charge of 40 soldiers.

He patrolled in the Karrada neighborhood in central Baghdad

from January 2005 to March 2005 and provided security

in the International (Green) Zone for the fi rst meeting of

the transitional National Assembly on March 16, 2005 (for

about two weeks before and for two weeks after the meeting).

McCarthy also provided security in southern Baghdad

during the constitutional referendum on October 15, 2005

and the fi rst election for the Council of Representatives on

December 15, 2005. He patrolled in the Dora neighborhood

and surroundings in southern Baghdad from April of 2005

through January 2006. He is serving in Kosovo through

November 2009 as an operations staff offi cer.

McCarthy attributes his understanding of group

dynamics to his Delta Upsilon experience. He has had many

opportunities to display his leadership skills while leading

his men during a fi refi ght, coming under fi re following IED

attacks and in the evacuation of one of his squad leaders who

had been shot in the throat by a sniper. While in Iraq Brother

McCarthy’s platoon earned nine Purple Hearts, with one

soldier receiving two. McCarthy was awarded a Bronze Star

and earned a Purple Heart while serving in Iraq.

Th ese are but a few of our brothers who are currently

serving the United States, there are surely more. While I

cannot personally speak of all of them, I know that in writing

this article I have come across a handful of them including:

Gabriel Faath, Central Florida ‘00, US Army

Lou Wysocki, Central Florida ‘99, US Air Force

Victor Wong, Central Florida ‘99, US Army

Nestor Makris, Central Florida ‘00, US Army

Bill MacGillivary, Central Florida ‘00, US Navy

Ian Phillips, Central Florida ‘00, US Army

Ryan Little, Pennsylvania ‘01, US Army

Marshal Smith, San Jose ‘05, US Navy

Of the brothers I know personally Major Doug

MacKenzie, Cal Poly ‘84, US Marines Communications

Offi cer for School Of Infantry at Camp Pendleton; Major

Brian Woolworth, Cal Poly ‘92 US Army; and, Sam Clarke,

Cal Poly ’08, US Army each exemplifi es the principles which

we hold dear.

All of these brothers and scores of brothers not named

who serve their nation deserve our thanks. While each of


6

WWW.DELTAU.ORG

our brothers in arms most likely has a story which is worthy

of sharing with us there is not ample space to cover them all

in this publication. We hope that they will share their stories

and refl ections in the facebook group – Delta Upsilon –

Military Service.

Instilling the spirit that these brothers represent are some

words from Brother Charles Evans Hughes written in June

1916:

“Th is fl ag means more than association and reward. It

is a symbol of our national unity, our national endeavor our

national aspiration. It tells you of the struggle for independence,

of union preserved, of liberty and union one and inseparable, of

the sacrifi ces of brave men and women to whom the ideals and

honor of this nation have been dearer than life.

It means America fi rst; it means an undivided allegiance. It

means America united, strong and effi cient, equal to her tasks.

It means that you cannot be saved by the valor and devotion of

your ancestors; that to each generation comes its patriotic duty;

and that upon your willingness to sacrifi ce and endure as those

before you have sacrifi ced and endured rests the national hope.

It speaks of equal rights; of the inspiration of free institutions

exemplifi ed and vindicated; of liberty under law intelligently

conceived and impartially administered.

Th ere is not a thread in it but scorns self-indulgence, weakness,

and rapacity. It is eloquent of our community interests,

outweighing all divergences of opinion, and of our common

density.

Given as a prize to those of the highest standing, it happily

enforces the lesson that intelligence and zeal must go together

that discipline must accompany emotions, and that we must

ultimately rely upon enlightened opinion.”

Charles Evans Hughes, Colgate and Brown 1881

Chief Justice of the United States

I speak on behalf of all of our brethren in the hope that

each of our brothers currently serving in harms way fi nds

his way home safely. You serve us proudly and refl ect

positively the core values and principles of Delta Upsilon.

I, for one, hope that when you return and look upon your

brothers who have not served that we, too, have embodied

our fraternal obligations and have given you a reason to look

proudly upon us as we all strive to live our principles and

embrace Justice as our sure foundation.

**Note: While I am sure there are Canadian brothers serving at this

time and possibly brothers serving in other nations military branches,

I was not privy to their stories or the passion they may share for their

native lands. To each of them our appreciation also goes out for their

service to their countries and we hope they too will share their stories on

the DU Facebook page.

Gregory Ball, Arlington ’91 in Mosul, Iraq. Ball served on active duty in the United States Air Force from 1995 to 2006 as a weather forecaster and offi cer. He was stationed at Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage, Alaska, Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks, Alaska, and Andrews AFB in Washington, DC. While at Andrews AFB, he was selected as the lead Presidential weather forecaster and was solely responsible for providing departure, in-fl ight, and arrival weather for the safe transport of the President of the United States from April-August, 2001. He was also deployed to Kuwait in 2000-2001 and later served as the Staff Weather Offi cer for the 172nd Stryker Brigade combat team in Mosul, Iraq from February to June, 2006. He currently serves as a reserve weather offi cer with the rank of captain at Barksdale AFB, in Shreveport, La.

Lt Cmdr, USN, Jason Baltimore, Cornell ‘90 and Michael Lamb, Cornell ’91 met at Al Faw palace (one of Saddam’s properties that the military appropriated shortly after the invasion) to reconnect and share a meal. Baltimore was Lamb’s DU big brother and is now an attorney in the Navy, responsible for detainee operations. He recently redeployed to his regular assignment in Rota, Spain.

Delta Upsilon International Fraternity welcomed

its 152nd Chapter at Webster University in St. Louis,

Missouri. Th e Chapter became a colony just over a year

earlier on March 4, 2008 and was offi cially installed on

March 28, 2009.

Delta Upsilon’s new Webster Chapter was the fi rst Greek

organization on campus marking the fi rst time in more than

100 years that DU was established at a university where no

other Greek organization had gone before.

Brother Dave Maguire, Southern Illinois ‘73 led the four-

man initiation team which included Brother John Adams,

Wichita ‘04, Brother Kyle Lorts, Western Illinois ‘07, and

Gordon Bothun, Carthage ‘08.

Executive Director Justin Kirk gave the charge,

emphasizing how chapter members shared qualities with

Delta Upsilon’s Founders. “You have accomplished a

fi rst for the Webster University campus. Much like our

Founders, you are unique. You sought something the

campus community didn’t off er. You worked tirelessly and

persevered. Th e culmination of which bring us here today,

to celebrate a tremendous achievement – the initiation of

more than 30 brothers and the installation of our 152nd

chapter of Delta Upsilon – the fi rst Greek organization

on the Webster campus.” Kirk then challenged the men to

think about their dreams and visions for the future and the

kind of legacy they want to leave.

A total of 35 men were initiated into the new chapter

during the ceremony. Th e swearing-in included three

members who were studying in Switzerland and took part

remotely in Delta Upsilon’s fi rst-ever digital initiation

ceremony. Th ese men were connected with video and audio

through laptop computers at the installation ceremony.

Founded in 1915, Webster University is an independent,

non-denominational university off ering degrees in liberal

arts, fi ne and performing arts, business, management and

education. Webster University Worldwide has over 100

campuses around the world and a total enrollment of

Twenty-one undergraduates were inducted

in a colonization ceremony at Virginia

Polytechnic Institute and State University on

Monday, March 2, 2009. The ceremony was

held on campus in Blacksburg at Hillcrest

Hall, also known as the Honors College.

Delta Upsilon Leadership Consultant

Gordon Bothun, Carthage ‘08 led the ceremony

with assistance from Chapter Advisor

Francis Bush, Florida ‘85, who distributed

Colony pins as each undergraduate signed

the fraternal honor code.

Delta Upsilon received a warm welcome

from the Virginia Tech Community. Brandon

Lamma, from the Office of Fraternity and

Sorority Life, attended the ceremony along with the

executive council of the Interfraternity Council, several

sorority members, and many other students.

Delta Upsilon initially chartered a chapter at Virginia

Tech in 1983, though the charter was suspended in 2002.

Founded in 1872 as a land-grant college named Virginia

Agricultural and Mechanical College, Virginia Tech is

now a comprehensive, innovative research university with

the largest full-time student population in Virginia.

Colony Advisor Francis Bush played a critical role

in Delta Upsilon recolonizing at Virginia Tech. He

is a professor of accounting and statistics at Virginia

Military Institute and he got involved with the colony

despite having to drive nearly an hour and a half each

way to reach the Tech campus.

“I’m probably the closest DU alumnus in the area,

and I was willing to come down to work with them,”

Bush told the Collegiate Times. “I came down for the

first meeting, and next thing you know, we’re working

together on this.”

Bush felt a sense of duty to reach out to his fraternity.

“This is how an alumnus gives back to his fraternity,”

Bush said. “You can give time or you can give treasure, or

you can give both.”

Bush took part in DU’s Advisors Academy in

Indianapolis in January and continues to guide the

colony members.

Virginia Tech Colony Established

How Can You Give Back?

Many opportunities exist for alumni to positively

impact the lives of undergraduates and remain

involved with Delta Upsilon. To find out more,

Chamberlain at 317-875-8900 or chamberlain@

Our Brotherly Obligation

We all recited our Oath, which states “I solemnly promise that I will be loyal to the Delta Upsilon Fraternity…” Th e Oath

is our bond. Th e Oath is our word. Th e Oath is the irrevocable promise that we made to the Fraternity.

So, let’s look at this as a logic problem:

Fact: All DUs are men of sound character. D M

Fact: Men of sound character fulfill their promises. M P

Therefore: All DU’s fulfill their promises. D P

Th e Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation (DUEF) is essentially the fundraising arm of the Fraternity. Th e Foundation

raises money on an annual basis to provide support for the Fraternity’s leadership and educational programs and to provide

merit-based scholarships for its undergraduate members.

Our brotherly obligation is to show support of some kind to the Fraternity. Th at obligation does not end once we leave

college. Th at obligation remains for the rest of our lives.

Th e obligation does not say that we must give generously. Some do, for which the DUEF is thankful. Others don’t have the

ability to give as generously, but they give what they are able, for which we are equally thankful.

Th e DUEF never asks anyone to give to DU before giving to their church, for example. And, the DUEF never asks anyone

to give more money to DU than they might give to another charity they wholeheartedly support.

Th e DUEF simply asks that you give what you are able; to fulfi ll your loyalty promise by simply being a donor.

If everyone who received this issue of the Delta Upsilon Quarterly gave a gift to the DUEF, we would more than double the

number of donors to the DUEF on an annual basis.

Some have already stood and said “count me in!” Th ank you!

Now, let us all do our part to stay true to our promise. If you have not yet sent in your support this year please do so by June

30 to be counted in the annual roll of donors this fall. An envelope is enclosed for your convenience.

Your Fraternity and Foundation thank you, sincerely.

Brother Dr. John T. Weisel, Oregon ‘48 is one of Delta

Upsilon’s highly regarded treasures. Several words describe

him. Giving, caring, generous, passionate, understanding,

level-headed, calm, steady, cheerful, and the list goes on.

One word, however, probably sums him up best of all– he is

genuine. If other organizations ever caught wind of just how

genuine he was, Delta Upsilon would have to fi ght for his

attention. But how fortunate that DU has been a primary

volunteer focus for him for many years. On February 21,

2009, the Fraternity fi nally got a chance to say “thank you”

to “Doc” Weisel.

Brother Weisel joined Delta Upsilon at the University

of Oregon where he graduated in 1948. Since then, he has

established himself as a leader, both in business and in DU.

Th is Idaho native was initiated into Delta Upsilon on April

14, 1946. In nearly 63 years of DU membership, he has

stayed true to his Oath, not only giving back what DU has

given to him, but maintaining the traits and expectations of

a DU man all along the way.

After graduating in 1948, he went on to further schooling,

en route to becoming an ophthalmologist. Dr. Weisel

practiced as ophthalmologist in Medford, Oregon, and

founded the Medical Eye Center, serving southern Oregon

and Northern California. Th e practice was primarily involved

in cataract-lens implant surgery where he joined forces with

Dr. John A. Retzlaff . Together they were part of a renowned

ophthalmology group that developed the Sanders-Retzlaff -

Kraff (SRK) formulas. SRK formulas are used to accurately

calculate intraocular lens power for cataract surgery. He

lectured on cataract surgery in numerous venues in the

United States, Southeast Asia, South Africa, and Australia

before his retirement.

John served Delta Upsilon on the Fraternity’s Board of

Directors for two terms from 1991 to 1994. In 1999, he

joined the Board of Trustees of the DU Foundation where

he has served ably ever since. Not only has the Foundation

grown during his leadership, but the positive attitude that

he continuously displays with regard to the Foundation or

Fraternity as a whole would inspire even the most dedicated

pessimist.

Th is award is much deserved by a tireless and faithful

brother, and it is proudly awarded by a humbled and grateful

brotherhood. Congratulations Doc. Job well done.

Distinguished Alumni award

Dr. Allan M. Lansing, Western Ontario ’53, was presented

with the Delta Upsilon Founders Medal during ceremonies

held marking the 60th Anniversary of the Louisville

Chapter. Dr. Lansing was presented the award for his

long-standing volunteer service to the Fraternity and the

Louisville Chapter. Th e presentation was made by Executive

Director Justin Kirk and DUEF Executive Director David

Schumacher. In his remarks, Brother Lansing spoke

eloquently of his affi liation with Delta Upsilon and the

infl uence the Fraternity has had on his career and personal

life. He even credits Delta Upsilon with introducing him to

Donna, his wife of more than 50 years.

Brother Lansing joined the Western Ontario Chapter on

November 25, 1950 and two years later was one of the very

fi rst undergraduates to receive a scholarship from the newly

established Delta Upsilon Educational Foundation. After

graduating from Western Ontario with a Doctor of Medicine

degree in 1953, he went on to complete his residency at

Victoria Hospital, as well as earn a doctorate in physiology.

He then headed to the United States to pursue his interest in

cardiovascular surgery, working at the University of Illinois

in Chicago before going to the renowned Houston Medical

Center and then on to Children’s Hospital in Boston, where

he taught and conducted research in pediatric surgery.

In 1961, he returned to Western Ontario to become an

assistant professor of surgery and physiology.

Eventually, Dr. Lansing moved to Louisville, Kentucky

where, over the next several decades his pioneering work

in heart transplants and myocardial revascularization

heart surgery helped to transform the fi eld and earned him

international recognition. Th e Donna and Allan Lansing

School of Nursing & Health Sciences at Bellarmine

University in Kentucky is named to honor Lansing and his

wife. In 2008, the University of Western Ontario conferred

an honorary doctorate of science on Brother Lansing, in

recognition of his pioneering work in cardiology.

As part of his continued support for the Louisville

Chapter, Brother Lansing has underwritten an endowed

scholarship so that the Louisville Chapter can send an extra

delegate at the DU Leadership Institute each summer. He

also hosts an annual pool party to help the chapter with

summer recruitment. Th e brothers of the Louisville chapter

thank Dr. Lansing for his support and congratulate him on

receiving the Delta Upsilon Founders Medal.

Delta Upsilon International Fraternity

Treasurer’s Annual Report

2007-2008

As your new

Fraternity treasurer, I

am pleased and honored

to submit my fi rst report

to you on the state of the

Fraternity’s fi nances.

I succeed (but cannot

replace) the dedicated

and untiring David

Herzer, Wisconsin ‘54,

who served as treasurer

for the past four years with skill, grace and patience.

Th e Fraternity’s fi scal year, concluded on June 30, 2008,

marked a turning point in many ways beyond David’s

retirement.

Our Executive Director moved into his fi rst full year at

the helm with a long list of strengthening initiatives, plans

for chapter and membership growth, and strategies to make

Delta Upsilon the most formidable in its nearly 175 years.

Th e economy, of course, abruptly ended its period of

unparalleled advance, and soon thereafter took the fi nancial

markets downward with it.

And more positively, Delta Upsilon saw heightened

interest expressed in new colonies, both by undergraduates

and by college administrators; enjoyed outstanding alumni

and undergrad attendance at our convention and conferences;

and achieved continued improvement in the level and scope

of support provided by our headquarters staff to chapters

and their alumni boards across North America.

Th ese are the important measures by which we can gauge

our strength best.

Much less signifi cantly, but essential to our practical ability

to adapt to these changes, Delta Upsilon’s fi nancial condition

bears some discussion.

Th e Fraternity ended the year with net assets of

$2,358,670, down $257,169 from the prior year, primarily

due to the devaluation of our investments in the early days of

the market downturn.

Revenue, excluding investment performance, was

$1,485,180, or almost 97 percent of budget. Operating

expenses totaled almost $1,696,563, only $8,853 over

budget. Th e result was a $210,383 excess of expenses over

revenue, up from $127,622 in the prior year.

Our investment performance produced a loss of $46,786

for 2007-2008, after earning over $326,331 a year earlier.

Fortunately, over 70 percent of this investment loss can

be reversed with future gains to be had in the portfolio

with market recoveries. Your Investment Committee is

working diligently to ensure that our investments, all under

professional outside managers’ guidance, do just that without

undue risk.

Th e Permanent Trust Fund, established by the Board

to support the operations of Delta Upsilon, represents the

Fraternity’s endowed assets. During the year, $108,649

was transferred from this fund to the General Fund for

that purpose. Th is transfer amount, combined with net

investment income of ($17,242), reduced the fund balance

to $1,426,231 at June 30, 2008.

Th e Loss Prevention Fund, which serves to manage

the Fraternity’s liability insurance and loss expenses, saw a

$102,098 excess of expenses over revenues for the year, as

well as investment losses of ($131,692), which together

reduced its net assets to $765,785 at year end.

While reporting net losses and reduced net fund balances

may suggest undesirable performance, as I mentioned earlier

they are only a few of the many measures that indicate the

strength and direction of your Fraternity.

I along with the rest of the Board am eager to share

with you the plentiful signs of vigorous growth, disciplined

stewardship of the DU legacy and of your resources and

trust that maintain it, and the abundant ways the Fraternity

is headed in a truly bright and prosperous direction.

Treasurer

Tell us about your career? How did you get into this career?

After a 28-year career in the U.S. Navy as a Naval aviator,

which included 10 extended deployments, command of

an aircraft carrier based aviation squadron, command of a

Fleet Flagship, and culminated with command of one of

the Navy’s 10 nuclear powered aircraft carriers, my wife

and I decided to set our roots in Virginia. My romance with

fl ying began as the son of a World War II pilot. It began

in NROTC at the University of Wisconsin where I studied

engineering and earned my private pilot’s license. Upon

graduation and commissioning in the Navy, I began my

military journey in graduate school, earning a master’s in

aeronautical engineering. Little did I know then that I would

be so captured by fl ying high-performance tactical aircraft

off carriers that I would end up making a career of the Navy.

I followed my heart with my wife through an adventure of

ever increasing responsibility while traveling all over the

world. What followed was the opportunity to lead a trade

association whose mission was representing companies

primarily engaged in the repair of U.S. Navy surface ships –

a perfect fi t for the next career.

Describe your global leadership skills.

Beginning with Naval ROTC and various challenging and

rewarding positions in my DU chapter (including president),

my entire career has been engaged in developing and

refi ning my leadership style with ever increasing positions

of responsibility. I am a strong believer in empowering

people to enable them to grow. I also believe in continuous

improvement that is data driven – the statement “If it ain’t

broke, don’t fi x it” has never had a place in my organizations.

As a Certifi ed Quality Manager, I believe that the best

suggestions for improvement come from the people closest

to the work process. I am a practitioner of “Management By

Walking Around (MBWA)” which is a powerful leadership

technique and keeps a leader in touch with those they are

privileged to lead. It is important to “walk the walk” when

you are in a position of authority – a very powerful trait.

Also, integrity and moral courage are tenants which have

followed me from my military career and served well.

What do you see is your greatest challenge as a leader?

Personal integrity. My experience in my career has taught

me not to assume all with whom you deal have personal

integrity. As a leader, it is important to maintain integrity

and do the right thing.

Tell us about a key moment where you observed successful

leadership?

Having spent my fi rst career in the military, I have had

countless moments. One of the most amazing is the daily

“ballet” that is orchestrated to safely launch and recover

aircraft on the four-acre fl ight deck. Eight hundred sailors

direct the movement of up to 30 jet and propeller aircraft

in a specifi c sequence to four steam-powered catapults

for launch. Every 30-45 seconds, an aircraft goes down

the catapult, accelerating from a dead stop to 150 miles

per hour. Immediately following, the deck is instantly

transformed into a landing fi eld, were every 45-50 seconds,

a plane lands. Its tailhook “grabs” one of the four arresting

wires, decelerating it from 140 miles per hour to zero in

about 800 feet. Under sailor direction, the plane must

quickly leave the landing area so the next plane can land.

Th is is all done precisely with several layers of leadership.

Th e fl ight deck is so loud that everything must be done

with hand signals. Th e carrier’s fl ight deck is considered by

many to be the most dangerous place in the world. Yet the

leadership and skill of aviation professionals allow them

to accomplish thousands of takeoff s and landings without

serious injury or damage to aircraft – truly remarkable.

What parallels do you fi nd between being a leader in your

career and being a fraternal leader?

Many opportunities to develop leadership skills were

found in my DU experience. Th e challenges of leading a

chapter of men of character in DU was a perfect “training

ground” for future careers.

What is your perspective on eff ective leadership within a

fraternity chapter?

DU is grounded in four principles which provide the

best guidance for being an eff ective leader in the fraternity

chapter. It is important to understand, also, that often

decisions leaders make will not make everyone happy. True

leaders do the right thing every time in spite of popularity.

In what other areas do you volunteer your time? Community

organizations? Professional associations?

I am active in many civic volunteer organizations, some

that are business related. I have had the privilege for

the past several years to serve as a member of the Delta

Upsilon International Fraternity Board of Directors. It

has been a stimulating and rewarding experience as we

have begun a transformation of our fraternity in Building

Better Men. I serve locally on the boards of the Norfolk

Tourism Research Foundation, the Red Cross, Greater

Norfolk Corporation, the Azalea Festival (Norfolk’s

salute to NATO), the Virginia Maritime Association, and

Rotary. Professionally, I am a member of American Society

for Quality, American Society of Association Executives,

American Society of Naval Engineers, Association of

Naval Aviation, and others.

What advice would you off er to a DU brother who is about

to graduate and apply his leadership skills in the real world?

Th e skills developed in DU are validated in the real

world. Th e Four Founding Principles apply in everything

you will do in the future. Leverage your DU connections,

both at the chapter level and the national level. Th ere is a

bond and affi nity between DU brothers. While the current

economic situation will provide a challenge, graduating

DUs have the advantage of our brotherhood. Make that

advantage work for you.
