IDAHOOur philanthropic efforts

continued with our annualhighway clean. The 67th An-nual Pirates’ Dance was, as al-ways, a real success. We reallyworked hard to make the houselook great. We constructed amassive waterfall and a moat inthe front of the house. It wastruly impressive. The end of theyear camp trip was a blast too.

This summer the kitchen,shower room, bathroom andboiler rooms will be remod-eled. It hasn’t been done sincethe early 1990’s. We’re reallyworking hard to make this oldhouse shine again.

ILLINOISImproving academic stan-

dards was our number one pri-ority this semester. As a result,actives banded together in aunified fashion to raise indi-vidual GPAs in an effort toboost our overall GPA.

After the completion of amemorable pledge dance, abrotherhood camping outingwas planned for the followingweekend. Brothers rangingfrom seniors to freshmen were

able to benefit from fresh air andexercise while sharing storiesand making plans for the futureas they gathered in a nearbycampground for the evening.

The final social event wasour Delta Chi Block Party thatis unrivaled on campus in bothsize and fun filled atmosphere.Several live bands, two DJ’s, ahuge crowd and a host of spon-sors combined to make thisyear’s Block Party an ideal wayto wind down the year in prepa-ration for finals week.

Although the month wasfilled with an exceptional so-cial calendar, the highlight ofthe semester was the success ofour Mom’s Day Weekend.Delta Chi moms showed theirappreciation for the hard worktheir sons exhibited by gra-ciously donating enoughmoney to aid in the upgrade ofour computer lab. We at DeltaChi would like to thank all whoparticipated for their generosity.

Sports Celebrity Dinner whichraised money for the ThamesValley Children's Centre. An-other was a Karaoke night withKappa Alpha Theta to raiseawareness about rape with do-nations going to London’sAbused Women's Centre. This spring was a time whenwe experienced many "firsts".We had our first official rushwhere we gained seven asso-ciates in the Alpha class. Thiswas also our first opportunityto initiate with our RegentSteve Bossart and also theMichigan State Chapter. Thesebrothers came up to ensure thetradition was run as smooth aspossible. We also experiencedour first formal elections. Wealso launched our websitewhich showcases profiles ofour brothers and many pic-tures of events held through-out the year. Come visit us @www.deltachiuwo.com.

WHITEWATERThis semester we had one of

the largest pledge classes andthey had the highest GPA of allfraternities at 3.4. These menwere very helpful in our accu-mulating over 800 hours ofcommunity service.

We have been doing a lot offundraising this semester in-cluding our annual buy a D-Chi, in which we auction offbrothers to the highest femalebidder. We were also successfulin raising much needed fundingthrough alumni donations. Thereward for these tireless effortswas a new pool table.

We also excelled in IFC ath-letics by winning the basket-ball tournament and takingsecond in softball.

Finally Mike Moeller ‘90,put together an alumni/activeBrewers game which greatlyimproved our alumni rela-tions. Mike is also the head ofour new Housing Corporationwhich is finding new ways togreatly improve the appear-ance of our house. Also this se-mester our standing in thecommunity was improved bythe election of “B” Justin La-tus to one of the city’s districtsupervisor positions.
