Celebrating Service
When I was 23, I was given a remarkable opportunity to spend a summer volunteering in Kenya. I worked for a sewing project for refugee women, I assisted in a medical research project to address the mental health needs of the people of Kibera, the largest slum in sub-Saharan Africa, and I volunteered at a school and at an orphanage. The summer was rich with new experiences, absolutely formative. And I could not have done it without a grant from the St. Anthony Educational Foundation (SAEF), to which I am forever indebted. Joining the G.C. this year, I have been thrilled to remember that service is a shared passion in this fraternity. As you will read in the chapter reports, the undergraduate chapters are uniquely committed to community service, from Upsilons annual Billy Hill 5k to Taus important work at Rosies Place, a sanctuary for homeless women in Boston. SAEF grants continue to support essential projects, as Sis. Coco Wilder 12 describes in her article about empowering young women in rural Uganda. Our alumni brothers and sisters remain dedicated to service after graduation, whether domestic or international. Bro. Maryam Mujica E98 tells of life on the Presidents national security team at the White House. Sis. Elizabeth Peacock 05 will inspire you with her reflections on the importance of global outreach. With all of our differences, service is a common thread. As the theme of this newsletter, then, I invite you to take this opportunity to celebrate the value of service. Share in the unique experiences of your brothers and sisters as you read their stories. I hope you will feel as inspired and humbled as I do to be part of this brotherhood of individuals so eager and able to improve the world. Maybe we can all find a way to give back, whether in as grand a fashion as embarking on a career in global health or as modest as an evening washing dishes in a soup kitchen, an afternoon clearing trash in a local park, or picking up your pen to write a check to SAEF.

A REpOrT frOM OUr FOrMEr H.D.
E.Bro. T.A.D. Tharp A75 It was the highest of honors to serve as the 147th H.D. of the fraternity of Delta Psi and the 25th from the Alpha chapter. The last three years on the G.C. have been truly unforgettable. My fellow G.C. officers were top-notch and totally committed to strengthening our Order. There are not adequate superlatives in the English language to describe the qualities of the 2012 G.C. Officers. Our M.H.E. Sis. Karen Caswelch T80 showed all of us her strong mettle and deep, abiding devotion to the Hall. She is a natural born leader and has great plans for the future betterment of our fraternity. I was incredibly fortunate to serve two full years on the G.C. with three fellow officers: Bro. Lila Claghorn E06, Bro. Gary Stahlberg 04 and Bro. Roun McNeal 04. Lila was a pistol and was always ahead of the game. She edited four first-rate newsletters, which you all most certainly have enjoyed immensely, and she was very talented at choosing fraternity trophy winners (being a future Broadway star helped her in this regard!). Gary served as our esteemed treasurer and missed nary a decimal point or red centthats the kind of steel-trap mind he has. His treasurers reports were perfection. Gary has never missed a G.C. in almost a quarter-centurythat must be some sort of a fraternity record. Bro. McNeal was always spot on and knows his fraternity ritual like the back of his hand. I took to calling him The Senator, because he has a senatorial quality about himI predict that one day he will be tapped as H.D. Bro. Peter Barlow E86 was the most hail-brother-well-met on our visits and always made the rest of us see the cup full to brimming. He was perfectly suited to organize the enjoyable Toasts to Tony. I would like to thank each of my fellow officers for making our 2012 G.C. Officer team so outstanding and accomplished. This past year had its most definite high points during chapter visits. Among them were the time we visited the grave of the only H.D. from Iota, E.Bro. William Wallace Gilbert I1869, in a beautiful 19th-century cemetery in Rochester. Sis. Dana Belles I11 and the Iota undergrads performed the age-old Delta Psi funeral ritual. The time we were present at the Alpha chapter for its renowned black tie Christmas photograph, as Bro. Cristian Lopez-Balboa A09 gave us cues. The time we attended a baseball game at Ole Miss and experienced the very finest of Phis hospitality under the tutelage of Bro. Adam Stanford 10. The incredible L.D.s and MacNellys we heard during most all of the chapter visits. The fraternity standards we heard sung at Xi and Kappa with immense verve and spirit. The atmosphere of international fraternity and togetherness at Tau. The genuine bonhomie we experienced at Epsilon. The can-do spirit at Upsilon. The warm, family feeling when dining at Kappa. The intellectual curiosity we discovered at Theta. The aura of being in a Merchant and Ivory film at Delta. The hoary traditions we enjoyed at Sigma. Our chapter visits were memorable in so many waysmost of all for displaying the adamantine bonds that hold us all together. As we on the G.C. visited the chapters this year, we took them special gifts to mark the occasions. We gave several chapters framed photos of former eminent H.D.s from their own chapters. We gave Kappa a framed photo for their C.R. of their first H.D., E.Bro. Liam Murphy K83. We gave Delta a 19th-century leather-bound Bible to replace their own very worn out one. We gave Alpha antique chairs for their C.R. and fine art for their public rooms. We presented several chapters with silver candelabra for their C.R. altars. We donated to Sigma some Yale rarities for their secret side. By giving these things, we hope the chapters will not soon forget the friendly traveling band of G.C. officers from last year! The 1-2-3 Conference, once again held at the bucolic Fellowship Farm in Pennsylvania, further cemented our bonds and brought us closer to our ideals. Adam Stanford from Phi led a fine secret meeting. Bro. McNeil won the newly established continued on page six

A REpOrT frOM OUr CUrrENT H.D.
M.H.E. Sis. Karen Caswelch T80 I fell in love for the first time at the tender age of 18. It was January of 1981. As it happens with first loves, I really didnt nurture that love as much as I should have, and I moved on. I fell in love the second time when I was 27, and this time it lasted. I married Tom and learned a lot of things about love during our more than 21 years together. First of all, love is about trust. It is very hard to nurture love when you arent able to trust each other. The second element is respect. A relationship requires that you respect your partner and show that respect visibly. The other major element is the little things. Its very easy to get upset about how you fold the towels and how you load the dishwasherespecially when you both have different opinions on thisbut finding agreement on these little things helps prepare you to deal with the inevitable big things that come up. After 20 years, my first love called, and I answered the phone. Luckily, my first love was Delta Psi and it was the second call to service. During the last 18 months, I have fallen back in love with our fraternity. My path was assisted by the 2012 G.C. Officers, E.Bro. Tad Tharp A75, Bro. McNeal, Bro. Stahlberg, Bro. Claghorn and Bro. Barlow. I have relearned that one of the gifts of this fraternity is the incredible membership on both an individual level as well as on a group level. As I have moved down this path, it struck me that there are a lot of similarities between my two great loves. Think about trustwe all commit to each other that our meetings are a safe place and we trust each other so that we open ourselves and feel safe to be vulnerable. This is courageous for the individual and amazing within a group setting. When I think about respect, I am a bit more concerned. I think we have some issues as an order. I have seen tension between the coed chapters and all-male chapters. Last year, when we visited the all-male chapters, I stated to all that I was 100% supportive that the all-male chapters remain so. I will never change my respect for Delta, Phi and Upsilon and have endeavored to show that respect both during those visits, as well as during the visits to the coed chapters. It was important to show this joint support, and as such, I specifically requested to the nominating committee that we find a very diverse team for this years officer group. I am thrilled to have Bro. Reynolds, Upsilon; Sis. Peacock, Xi; Bro. Beaulac, Delta; Sis. Zuckerwise, Xi and Bro. Barlow, Epsilon. We all come from different places, but we have found that there is wonderful synergy when we trust and respect each other. When I think about the little things, it immediately brings me to our ritual. I am committed to enhancing our ritual as one of my major initiatives. Ive asked E.Bro. Nick Noble E77 to travel to each chapter and assess and teach ritual. It is difficult for this to remain at a consistently high level because it only takes a large senior class to graduate and have the potential of leaving a chapter behind, which isnt quite as good from a ritual perspective. As a second initiative, our G.C. is committed to the strength of the Graduate Organizations and uses this opportunity to encourage volunteer service. The Graduate Organizations continue to need an influx of recent (and not-so-recent) graduates to continue to support the undergraduate chapters. Finally, Id like to share a story from my undergraduate years, 1981-84. E.Bro. Andy Hunter 55 and I became friends. Id look forward to seeing him at every G.C. and we frequently shared a dance at the final banquet. One year, I told him that I wanted to be the first female H.D. Andy told me, It wont happen, and heres why. Youll stay involved for a few years after you graduate and then youll get married, raise children and get involved with your career. Twenty-25 years from now youll get a call out of the blue from the order, asking you to serve. The reason you wont be the first woman is because our order wont wait that long for the first. Andys words to me were quite prescientI was a G.C. officer in 1990, got married in 1992, had kids and a career and really wasnt involved with the fraternity for 20 years until I received the phone call, asking me to serve. I am thrilled and honored to be serving in the company of such distinguished men and women over the years. I am dedicating my year to our departed E.Bro. Hunter. Respectfully submitted, YITB

Halsey Award for the most valuable participant at the 1-2-3. Bro. Raleigh Hazel 10 who excelled on the rope course was first runner up. This award is a giant dinosaur egg named Halsey, named after famous U.S. Admiral Bro. William Bull Halsey 1899. The annual Toasts to Tony all over the countryand in Paris and Londonwere fantastic gatherings and a good time to reach out and meet other Delta Psis. Looking back on my tenure as H.D., my primary goal at all times and in all places was to stress to the whole brotherhood our long and illustrious history. During my thirty-six chapter visits over three years I tried my best to highlight important points in our 167-year-old history. Upon the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, I spoke about the terrible human toll the war had on our fraternity and how we overcame the tragedy. I strongly believe that our remarkable history brings us together as much as any aspect of our being. In that vein, I am pleased to report that former H.D. E.Bro. Nick Noble E77 is endeavoring to finish our long-anticipated official fraternity history, last published by E.Bro. Winslow Ames A25 in 1953. As we visited the chapters, I also emphasized leadership. I spoke about some of the most famous and prominent brothers in our history. And during each visit, I asked undergraduates to give oral biographies of one of the most accomplished brothers from their own chapters. In this way I tried to instill in the brothers and sisters fraternity pride, leadership, and the ambition to excel in their chapters and colleges. This past year was not without its challenges. The unfortunate situations at Iota and Epsilon brought us particular concern. Matters are improving now and I am hopeful these issues can be resolved. E.Bro. Grahame Wood 60, 99, I10, the head of our fraternity expansion committee, deserves very high praise for his devotion to Iotas continued well-being. During my year as H.D., we sadly lost three of our most revered former H.D.s: Jose Noyes A56, H.D. 2007, Peter Onderdonk E56, H.D. 1990 and George Harding 38, H.D. 1970. Their many good works for Delta Psi will live long in our collective memories and history books. E.Bro. Noyes was larger than life to many of us. There are now twenty eight living former H.D.s, on whom we continue to rely for their wisdom and knowledge. One of the greatest gifts of my tenure as H.D. was meeting many brothers and sisters outside my own Alpha chapter and era. I was given the unique opportunity as H.D. to meet many brothers from across the spectrum of chapters and generations. I got to know quite well the sisters and brothers who lead our fraternity, and let me tell you, the national leadership of our fraternity is made up of some truly stellar people. My two immediate predecessors as H.D.E.Sis. Ann Kennedy 71 and E.Bro. Alex Cook 74 are exemplary individuals. They each embody the real Delta Psi spirit to which we all aspire. The head of our Policy Committee, former H.D. E.Bro. David Beers E54, runs a very tight ship with a sagacious handand notably he and his wife, Sis. Peggy Beers K08, have never turned a St. A brother or sister away from their door in Washington, D.C. Sis. Sandy Carielli K95 has devoted endless hours of time to running SAEF and has done so with aplomb and with babies in tow! E.Bro. Billy Peelle E68 has, with great lan and seemingly magical resources, kept 1847, Inc. in ready fighting form. These fraternity leaders, and many others who dedicatedly serve on committees and behind the scenes, have kept the Delta Psi ship afloat for years and have done so as volunteers, humbly and with little fanfare. They should be given a high salute of appreciation by us all. The G.C. in Cambridge in January was a spectacularly successful affair, thanks in full measure to the Tau Boston area organizing committee. We should all applaud the G.C. organizers, Bro. Peter Wender T68 and Sis. Adriana Ciccone T05, and all the Taus who pitched in to make this an event to remember for years to come. At Tau, Bro. Eyas Sharaiha T09 deserves special praise. In my mind he was one of the finest leaders I have met in the last few years. Congratulations to all those undergraduates who won the coveted national trophies and awards. Phi almost swept the top awards and Iota did very well for itself as such a young chapter. Bro. Marcus Cox 98 was a terrific master of ceremonies. Bros. McNeal and Claghorn wrote a marvelous original ditty in my honor, called A Modern Major General (apologies to Gilbert and Sullivan for the revised lyrics), and performed it to loud applause. Those of you who attended know the wonderful G.C. highlights and should encourage your fellow brothers and sisters to come to next years G.C. at Kappa in Providence. I could not end my tenure without thanking the team from our national fraternity office at Gilchrist Associates who support us so ably every day. Betty Bartolotta, our fraternity den mother, and Donald Beeson, the maestro behind the scenes, along with their colleagues deserve our full gratitude. Some folks have asked me what I intend to do in my retirementin all my new-found spare time! First, I plan to spearhead an official census of all the 8,000 living St. A brothers and sisters (including 500 undergraduates). In this regard, you will be hearing from our fraternity Census Committee before the end of the year with our first official Delta Psi census form, and I encourage you each to fill it in and participate. Second, later this year I plan to make a pilgrimage to the burial place of our patron, Saint Anthony, to Saint Antoine lAbbaye, a village in Isre in southeastern France. For those of you who do not know, Saint Anthonys bones have been buried in the cathedral there since the 11th century. I will report on my adventure in a future newsletter. Third, I have been working in recent months on researching the lives of all our former H.D.s for a biographical history, which I will present at the G.C. next year. They are quite a fascinating bunch they run the gamut in vocations and life stories. Of course, they all share one common all-encompassing attribute: their heartfelt, lifelong devotion to Delta Psi. When thinking back on my tenure as H.D., I think about what Disraeli (from his 1844 novel, Coningsby) wrote about the meaning of friendship at school: At school friendship is a passion. It entrances the being . . . . What . . . whirlwinds of the soul are confined in that simple phrase, a schoolboys friendship! Tis some indefinite recollection of these mystic passages of their young emotion that makes grey-haired men mourn over the memory of their schoolboy days. To me, after thirty-eight years as a brother and a memorable year as H.D., I feel more than ever the same powerful sentiment about brotherhood. I would not trade the memories of my service as H.D. for all the tea in Chinaor, more fittingly put, for all the gold in all the Delta Psi fraternity pins ever mintedand that is saying a lot. Onwards our beloved Delta Psi!

SUMMEr IN UGaNDa
Susan and I stand in a classroom, looking at an internal diagram of the uterus that peels from the red clay classroom walls. Were sitting on the wooden plank desks as Susan tells me about science class. Susan is fifteen and the Head Girl at New Hope Orphanage in Busia, Uganda, a position she embodies with a kind, playful authority. Im nervous, but she is open and chatty so I ask her the question that prompted my work in Uganda: Do you have any questions about your period? In rural Uganda, misinformation or lack of resources about periods often threatens a girls ability to remain in school, a situation precarious enough considering the countrys gendered educational disparities. When girls accumulate absences each month because of their periods while their male peers remain in the classroom, they are further disadvantaged. Id wanted to make reusable pads with girls, as well as talk about basic hygiene and body care. Thus, my conversation with Susan: Well, Susan says, I do have one: Around my period, I get a lot of pain here. She points to her lower abdomen. Is something wrong with me? I talk to my friends and they tell me it is not happening to them, so I am worrying. Cramps, of course. Susan, your friends are mistaken. Most girls and women get those during their periods, and its completely normal, especially when youre younger. I get them sometimes. Her face calms and she explains how the New Hope nurse gives her pads so she never misses class. We had this conversation early in my eight-week internship with New Hope Orphanage. My internship was generously supported by a SAEF grant, and I carried the spirit and values of Delta Psi throughout the summer. I left for Uganda after aND cOMplETElY cHallENGING my first year of college and my pledge semester, so naturally I had grand plans and expectations about the trip. I was usually wrong. A last-minute change in organization made me scrap my menstrual health curriculum and adapt to the immediate needs of New Hope. I spent my time interviewing, photographing, and writing

profiles for families applying for New Hopes international school sponsorship program. I also tutored and led a creative writing class for another interns project of self-publishing a book to support the schools scholarship fund. Though this formal work was significant, my conversation with Susan helped me realize that my time was most valuable spent listening to the kids and asking questions about their lives and opinions. The kids and I talked about football while sorting beans, and about our future families while walking to town to buy ice cream. Everyday I lounged on the lawn with Baby Dan, an adorable toddler, and we read picture books together. By the end of the summer, hed learned to say the words mouse and rainbow. Each day was complexly beautiful and completely challenging. My difference in religious philosophy limited my Coco and Susan. (photo by Jane Yoon) relationships with both my American co-interns and the Ugandans, so I found myself reckoning with questions of goodness in a new way. Often, my conflicts led me to think of Positive impact is possible, though, andfor me it culminated the Halla place, an idea, and a family that felt abstract and far with coloring. We colored pictures with kids throughout the away but still calmed me as I fell asleep under my mosquito net summer, but during my last week another intern bought paint to each night. Id remember joyful moments in meeting or anticipate create a mural on the classroom buildings. I left before the mural the safe space for reflection and sharing to which Id return. was finished, but I got an update this year that families who could afford school fees were impressed by New Hopes fresh facilities and enrolled their children. Because of the school fees for more than one hundred new students, New Hope has hired more teachers, undergone more renovations (including installing handicap ramps), and purchased a school bus. The school fees bring New Hope closer to financial stability and self-sufficiency. We had painted sprawling waves, giraffes, zebras, lions, red flowers, a giant boatNoahs Ark. I claimed the waves, smearing blues and purples back and forth into a bright storm. One afternoon while we were painting, it began to pour. We grabbed the paint cans and bolted inside, the kids shrieking from fear of the rain. Our brushes sticky with acrylic Sadolin paint, the other interns and I dashed outside. Standing in the rain, we massaged the bristles with our thumbs and watched as the colors melted into the newborn stream below. Linda with New Hopes Matron. In the year since my summer in Uganda, Ive asked a lot of questions that range from personal to historical to artistic, including re-evaluations about the ethics of international service. Consider that the Headmaster of New Hope once deferred to me to decide whether a family qualified for a free education. While I said he knew more about the organization and would have to support the childs education long after I left, he insisted I decide. This undeserved agency I experienced every day because I was a white, college-educated American volunteer was a problem. I no longer believe its possible for me to do a similar trip without perpetuating an often oppressive foreign aid system thats larger than myself.

I went to Kibera on my first morning in Nairobi. My flight from New York had landed only six hours before, and it was a shock to be trekking so suddenly into the largest slum in Sub-Saharan Africa. A group of nuns took me up, and we followed a winding path past mud huts with rusty, corrugated roofs, picking our way through the muck and trash. I walked so carefully; so afraid of slipping into the sludgy water below, that I hardly noticed the mass of small children who had begun to follow me. Mzungu! they yelled, joyful and shrill. White man. Take Pic-tcha. I flashed my digital camera at them, and they shrieked with joy, jumping up and down. When I reached my destination, the school at which I would volunteer for two months, I taught the children how to sing The Wheels on the Bus. The nuns brought me back down the mountain. I was glowing with excitement. When one of the sisters suggested I visit a nearby orphanage before returning home, I acquiesced dreamily. After many more twists and turns, I walked into a large, bright room. In front of me, about forty children and a few grown women were sitting in wheelchairs or running, madcap, around the room. They had very small or very large heads. They drooled. Their eyes rolled. They made a great deal of noiseyelling, crying, but no words that I could make out. Behind the human noise there was loud Christian radio. A grey-haired woman, maybe three feet tall, came up to me from behind and began to lead me around the room. Her bottom jaw jutted out like a piranhas. I walked with her, trying to seem compassionate, trying hard to feel compassion. Trying not to stare at a woman in the corner with a very small body and a large, twisted head. I stayed for maybe ten minutes. The second time I visited the orphanage was an accident. It was two weeks into my trip. I had run into some old friends in Nairobi and I offered to take them with me to the school in Kibera. They were late, and by the time we reached the convent the nuns had already gone. Not wanting to have wasted my friends morning, I suggested that we volunteer at the orphanage. The nuns received us stoically. They gave us red checkered aprons, and had us wipe down mattresses, making them up with clean sheets. I could see the children in the next room through a small window. They were getting their teeth brushed. Those who could brush their own teeth stood in the center of the room, spitting into a grate in the floor. Others dribbled into basins in their laps. Would I be asked to grab a toothbrush? An inadvertent wave of revulsion hit me in the gut. A rush of shame quickly followed: this would never do. I turned away from the frothy mattresses, marched down the hallway, and strode into the main room. I went from chair to chair, introducing myself to the people, shaking their hands. Some of them didnt respond. Some nodded their heads, jerkily. A few said hello back, in English. The one with the twisted head told me her name Bettyand said that she was so happy I had come to visit them. Another flutter in my bellythis time of embarrassment. I began visiting the orphanage whenever I could. I helped the sisters wash dishes after breakfast, and I helped them feed the children. For the first few weeks, they had me feed the easy children, the ones who would sit quietly and open their mouths when they were told. I grew adept at mashing together the ugalia starchlike, thick polentawith the orange sections and avocado chunks, spooning over the gravy and crushing in the green beans. The children opened their mouths and slurped it up. One morning, I went to the orphanage and found the place much less raucous than usual. Whats going on? I asked a sister I had befriended. One of the children has died, she said. Died? We do not know what happened. We are calling for the doctor. In a side room, the girl was covered with a blanket. I looked at her face. I recognized her, but I had not known her well. All the other children, even the least responsive ones, seemed to understand what had happened. continued on page 11

I attended as a teenager mentored and supported the refugees and they became a huge part of my young life, opening my eyes to the vast differences between my small world of privilege and the challenges faced by several billion others around the globe. Before coming to America, many of these young men witnessed their families murdered, walked for 3,000 miles to escape war, and lived for ten years on one meal a day. Arriving in America as refugees who had never seen electricity or running water, they faced a new and no less daunting set of challenges: getting a drivers license, maintaining decent grades, holding down multiple Students entering the classroom building at the newly completed Nyarweng Model Primary School, jobs in the midst of a November 2012. recession, sending money Sometimes, you just get lucky.

They contribute more than 1.3 billion hours of service each year and increasingly they express a desire to make an impact globally as well as locally. I was lucky to have the former Lost Boys shape and change my young life. I was even luckier when, in 2010, my longstanding relationship with these amazing individuals allowed me to engage the high school and middle school students I worked with to get involved in making a difference.

As we started engaging with schools we quickly realized In the meantime, I am living my dream managing a the incredible potential and desire young people have to make nonprofit program and teaching others the joy and satisfaction a difference to projects like Raising South Sudan, and the that comes with making the decision to be a positive force in the incredible need in schools for global education that goes beyond world. Of course the job has come with a steep learning curve simple geography and history. What started as a volunteer stint and many challenges but, at the end of the day, my grandfathers transitioned quickly into consulting, then a full-time position as words ring true: sometimes you do just get lucky. a team of us at Mothering Across Continents created a program To learn more about The Global Class and Raising South called The Global Classa comprehensive international Sudan visit www.motheringacrosscontinents.org or email me at education and leadership development program for middle and epeacock@motheringacrosscontinents.org.

continued from page 9 Later that morning, since the sisters were busy, I fed many children their lunches. One of them was a difficult one. She was perpetually in motion, jumping from foot to foot, always on her toes, always graceful. She held her hands at her sides, and she tilted her chin up, mouth open a bit, eyebrows raised. And she did not want to eat her lunch. Each time I raised the spoon to her mouth, she turned her head, laughing wildly, so that I spread the food across her cheek. Finally, she turned around and danced away from me. I ran after her, spoon raised, feeling ridiculous.

And then it happened: over the Christian radio came my favorite songSpindoctors Two Princes. It was the first song I recognized all summer. I stopped in my tracks, spoon still aloft. And I began to sing and dance. I danced like the children dancedjoyfully, eyes raised, arms at my side. The children, all of them, turned and stared at me. The sisters turned and stared at me. And, last of all, the girl I was chasing turned around. She giggled. She came to me and grabbed my hand, and we danced together. She opened her mouth, and at the end of every line, I fed her ugali.

Monitoring the situation in Benghazi after Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other colleagues were killed and working on the Dignified Transfer Ceremony for when they arrived back home. Preparing the President for his trip to Israel and Jordan. Meeting senior government officials ranging the gamutfrom Tony Blair to the Prime Minister of Libya. Sitting in the White House Situation Room and being a partalbeit smallof an issue that we know will soon be the headlines on newspapers around the world. These are some of the many complex issues and events that have left a notable impression on me during my last two years working at the U.S. Department of State and on the Presidents national security team at the White House. Ever since I was a little girl, I was fascinated with politics and law. My family fled Iran during the Iranian Revolution as they sympathized with the Shah who had been overthrown by the Islamic regime. I spent my years growing up between New York City, Mexico, France, and Switzerland. My Iranian background and what happened to my family were not the only reasons that I was interested in politics. The time my family spent in Mexico City also was formative and exposed me to the inequities within certain political systems. It was eye opening to hear about the inside deals and pay-offs given to politicians in exchange for turning a blind eye. My passion for politics followed me to college, as many of my Trinity and Hall friends could attest to as I came to Washington during several summers to intern on Capitol Hill in addition to interning at the Connecticut Attorney Generals Office and working on Barbara Kennellys Gubernatorial bid while in school. I ended up going to law school in California where I continued to work enthusiastically in the public sector. I worked for the Innocence Project, and the California Public

Defenders and District Attorneys Offices. The Innocence Project represented inmates who were either on death row or were serving life sentences and who believed they had been wrongly convicted. I went to various California prisons visiting clients and putting together the facts of their cases as many of them had been convicted 10 to 20 years prior. It was an incredible experience to get such raw exposure to the justice system as a budding and idealistic law student. After finishing law school, I settled into a life working as a litigator at a law firm in San Francisco. It was my first private sector job in several years and although I was constantly challenged and learned a great deal, I wanted to go back to public service. I realized that I truly enjoy what Im doing if theres meaning behind it and I wanted to work on things that were bigger than just a bottom line or number. I thought seriously about what I wanted to pursue and, after a great deal of introspection, I decided that my passion was more focused on global events than domestic politics. A lengthy application process and countless interviews later landed me with a fellowship at the U.S. Department of State. This was the start to an amazing journey that has allowed me to work on fOcUSED ON GlOBal EVENTS challenging and complicated foreign policy issues that we must confront, deciding what we will do, how we will react, and what comes next. My hours are longer and my pay is lower than what it was in the private sector, but, as I suspected, I couldnt be happierall because everything I work on has meaning, has an impact, and is part of history. I cant ask for more than that.

G.C. 2013
Some 250 brothers and sisters from all 12 chapters attended the G.C. A dozen of our former H.D.s made the trek. Members of fraternity committees, graduate organization presidents, and regional area association heads attended as well. The two formal sessions were meaningful and historic. Our most important annual fraternity awards for excellence and achievement were presented (see listing on page 24). In addition, meetings of several important committees were held, including the Policy Committee led by E.Bro. David Beers E54, H.D. 2003; 1847, Inc led by E.Bro. Billy Peelle E68 H.D. 1996; and SAEF led by Sis. Sandy Carielli K95. The traditional H.D. dinner was held at the Algonquin Club. E. Bro. Alex Cook D74, H.D. 2010 presented soon-to-beformer H.D. Tad Tharp A75 a garden statue of St. Francis to thank him for his three years of service on the G.C. The black-tie banquet in the ballroom at the Marriott Hotel in Cambridge was a memorable affair. The Chairman of the G.C. Organizing Committee, Bro. Peter Wender T68, was presented season tickets to the Metropolitan Opera in New York by his Co-Chairmen Sis. Adriana Ciccone T05 and Bro. Eyas Sharaiha T09 to thank him for his extraordinary organizing talent. New H.D. M.H.E. Sis. Karen Caswelch T80 gave a deeply felt toast praising all the organizers and attendees. She and her husband Tom led off the dancing. The orchestra was a big hit and award-winning Bro. Ben Taub 10 was the marvelous lead singer. A silver serving dish was presented to Betty Bartolotta, our irreplaceable fraternity administrator and unofficial den mother, as thanks for all her good work for the fraternity. The fraternal glad tidings were continued at a very convivial afterparty at the venerable Number Six Club on Memorial Drive. Bro. Gary Stahlbergs 89 famous exotic cocktail concoctions fueled the friendly spirit. The merriment lasted until dawn. Three former H.D.s who passed away in the preceding year were honored with our traditional ritual and sincere tributes: E.Bro. George Harding 38, H.D. 1970, E. Bro. Peter Onderdonk E56, H.D. 1990, and E. Bro. Jose Noyes A56, HD 2007.

INSTITUTIONal ADVaNcEMENT
Institutional Advancement refers to the promotion of an institution to its constituents. It embraces alumni relations, public relations, marketing, internal and external communications, and fundraising. All of these position the institution to secure resources and support. For 165 years St. Anthony Hall has enjoyed the brotherhood, and more recently the sisterhood, of undergraduates and graduates from 18 colleges and universities, 11 of which remain active chapters. More than 7,300 alumni around the world come together under the overall leadership of the Grand Chapter, the St. Anthony Educational Foundation (SAEF), and 1847, Inc. The St. Anthony Educational Foundation is the nonprofit wing that raises its funds through individual solicitations and grants, and provides financial support to undergraduates and chapters for intellectual pursuits, and other educational opportunities. The Fraternity of Delta Psi also raises its funds through individual solicitations, and provides the funding for the non-educational, administrative expenses necessary to operate the Fraternity. Annual giving to The Hall Fund provides critical operation Advancement Committee resources for both entities. As you will see from the charts below, only 4% of our alumni are giving in an average year. This low level of William R. Peelle, Jr. E68, Chair support will not sustain the organization indefinitely. We encourage Alexander T. Cook 74, Chair of The Hall Fund all alumni to consider making a gift to the Hall to help us continue Elise B. Packard K85 providing the support and programming that helps define our Order. Please respond to the appeals or make a donation online at Anand Sudhaker K02 www.stanthonyhall.org. Whatever you are able to give will have Laura Zuckerwise 13 a positive impact on our undergraduate brothers and sisters. Sandra E. Carielli K95, Chair of SAEF, Ex-Officio Thank you, Alexander T.

Grants
Founded in 1956 through the generosity of Hall alumni, the St. Anthony Educational Foundation (SAEF) became a 501(c)(3) public charity in 1984. Through the years, the SAEF endowment has grown through contributions and bequests from hundreds of brothers and sisters. Since its inception, SAEF has awarded grants for educational purposes to undergraduates, alumni, and chapters. These grants range from a few hundred dollars to a maximum of $2,500 for individuals and $6,000 for chapters. Samples of projects funded in the past five grant cycles include:

Adult stem cell and bioethics research in Japan Participation in a reading proficiency program for elementary students Field research on childrens health issues in Latin America Organization of a chapter art exhibit Restoration of a chapters rare books Research of early Ottoman-period architecture in the rural West Bank of Palestine Sustainable energy improvements in a chapters house and the creation of an energy improvement guide for all chapters

Our members are bright, creative individuals with incredible talents. For every project that receives funding, there are others with sufficient merit to fund if more resources were available. The graphs below show the number of grants applied for and funded over the past five grant cycles. The chart at the bottom provides a full overview for this same time period. We hope that someday the resources will be available to fully fund all deserving projects. Grant Applications Since Spring 2011

The Alpha Chapter of St. Anthony Hall happily closed another semester of high morale and active member participation. Recognition at the last G.C., where Alpha earned runner-up for both Best Meeting and Best L.D., once again bolstered our emphasis on decorum and literary development, enlivening our efforts to live up to our traditions both downstairs and up. Though we lost a large class of seniors last spring, renewed efforts at recruitment earned a large incoming Friends class. A committee appointed one year ago to overhaul the way we find new members transformed the way we look for and attract recruits from the Columbia community. The fall semester closed with a well-attended Christmas Party that brought campus bands and Bro. Mackay A12s a-cappella group, The Kingsmen, to perform in our ballroom. This and similar events organized by the Committee on Recruitment helped the Alpha chapter secure a highly diverse and very strong Friends class for the Spring semester. Among the nine Friends who joined our ranks at the end of Spring, three are military veterans (one a U.S. Marine), four come to us from abroad (Korea, Mexico, Germany, and Austria), and all exhibit a high degree of intellectual achievement and commitment to our Order. The most recent Friends class also reaffirmed our commitment to recruiting athletes. Their entrance into the Order at the end of the Spring doubled the number of athletes, and of rowers in particular, among the current membership of the Alpha Chapter. In the last year, Alphas submitted and received a record number of grants from the SAEF committee. One grant is used to support our semesterly Speakers Series, which brought D.T. Max, New Yorker writer and author of a best-selling biography of David Foster Wallace, to speak at a small evening gathering. Sis. Stephanie Nass A10 has planted a garden on our roof, a welcome addition to Alphas favored location in the warmer months. Were happy to report that Alphas commitment to community service was stronger last semester than in recent memory. A string of successful social parties raised funds far in excess of our expectations for a range of charities benefitting public education, lyme disease research, and children embroiled in the Arab-Israeli conflict. SAEF funds were used to further our charitable pursuits as well; Sis. Barthlemy A11 and Sis. Goess A11 used a grant to host an Art Auction at 434, whose proceeds benefited RxArt. Continuing the tradition of Alphas artistic collaborations, the Art Benefit showcased pieces from Alphas alongside works from new and established artists outside the community. Bro. Mackay is using his SAEF award to support a program teaching classics, in the original, to middle school students at Manhattan public schools. Friends were also introduced to Alphas community service efforts; continuing our commitment to local public education, they volunteered

alongside members for the Association to Benefit Children. Our community has also been thriving socially. Our annual black tie Valentines Day Gala, featuring the Lester Lanin Band, once again proved itself the highlight of Alphas social calendar. Themed parties have brought more attendees than ever, and due to the efforts of the Committee on Recruitment, start-of-semester cocktails were also bustling. On the private side, Thursday night Chapter Meetings were well-attended and consistently reaffirmed our commitment to tradition and literary improvement. L.D.s, under the direction of Sis. Lpez-Balboa A12, have been of notable quality. Last spring, current and graduate Alphas again gathered for our Swing Out, at which we honored graduate members who passed away in the last year. This fall, we look forward to the dedication of the Noyes Bar on Alphas second floor, in honor of E.Bro. Jose Noyes A56, remembered as a truly exemplary Bt., graduate brother, and H.D. Like last Swing Out, the Noyes Bar dedication will bring together undergraduates and graduate members to celebrate the life of Jose Noyes, and reaffirm our own continuing commitments to the Order. Overall, the Alpha Chapter seems well-poised for future successes. Due to the diligent worker of Bro. Auersperg, our finances are in good order. The efforts of the Committee on Recruitment have similarly prepared us for continued growth despite the loss of so many graduating seniors at the end of the spring term. Our principal challenge in the coming year will be navigating the change in leadership following the graduation of a class whose commitment to the Order has been stunning. As always, our improvement as a chapter will seek to direct Alpha toward those values we share in common: intellectual rigor, literary exercise, secrecy, constancy, and devotion.

The state of the Delta chapter is stronger than ever. After a very successful rush and new member education process, our fraternity added 18 new proud brothers this spring, which puts our total brotherhood at 51. The increased size of the chapter has helped to reinvigorate the house. Bro. Will Sorin D11 has done a phenomenal job continuing our close working relationship with the college administration and the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life. This year the school implemented a number of new policies regarding Greek life on campus and our positive relationship with the school has been a huge help in understanding and cooperating with the new rules. The chapter house, located at the center of campus on Locust Walk, has seen a number of renovations this year

19

thanks to the efforts of the Delta Alumni Association. The undergraduates and the alumni have been working together this year more closely than ever before to ensure the house continues to be the most revered on campus. Last year, our third floor Bright Room was completely renovated into a stunning reading room. In addition, there are plans in place to redo another room in the fraternity into a billiards room. The house is in spectacular condition, continues to improve with these renovations, and still has plenty of upside room. Our brothers have also continued their success in academia and athletics. Most notably, Bros. Tosan Eyetsemitan 11, Brian Toth, Cassius Simpson, Ernie Rosato 12, and Trevor Niemen 12 were part of Penn Footballs third Ivy League championship in four years. Bros. John Dudzik 11 and Jack Maine 12 were also recently elected as cocaptains to next years Varsity Squash team. Outside of school, Bro. Tom Hearne 11 has distinguished himself through his charitable work with the St. James School in Philadelphia. Every week this year he has gone to help tutor and mentor the middle school students. The Delta Chapter welcomes a visit from all brothers and sisters who find themselves in Philadelphia.

community and donated more than fifty presents to the Toys for Tots Foundation following our annual Christmas event. The most recent endeavor taken on by a few of our brothers is perhaps the most notable. Inspired by Professor Garth Myers, Trinitys Paul E. Raether Distinguished Professor of Urban International Studies, a group of our brothers have taken on volunteer positions for the Billings Forge Community Works. They have weekly shifts at the BFCWs urban youth development center, and they work to promote healthy eating opportunities for the struggling families in the urban area surrounding Trinity, known as Frog Hollow. The volunteers work heavily to spread the word to the community hoping to create better lives for the local families. Bros. Maguerite de Chaumont Quitry E11, Pierce Classen E12, and Thomas Stolarski E12 were the first to volunteer for BFCW and their initiative inspired other brothers to join them. In April, Epsilon, led by team leader Bro. Olivia Anderson E12, fundraised over $5,500 for the Relay For Life at Trinity College and held multiple events at the Relay. In the C.R., the Epsilon Chapter has been very strong. Our membership has grown even closer through the hard times with the college and we will continue on with our heads held high. As usual we extend an invitation to any Brothers or Sisters who would like to visitour doors are always open to you.

In the past year the Colleges President, James F. Jones Jr., released a statement that included his desire to abolish fraternities from the college. After an uproar from alumni and students the College responded with a committee made up of professors, students, and trustees which came up with a plan that would instead fix our social life without getting rid of Fraternities. However, they also set up regulations that they knew could result in the expulsion of many organizations. Epsilon, among only a few organizations, shows promise in surviving the future. One of the major requirements of the new social policy is the acceptance of both genders into any social group. Being that we already have female brothers in our Fraternity, we are off to a good start in meeting the schools requirements. Our President, Bro. Alex Shea E12, has bi-weekly meetings with different school administrators and other student leaders to keep our communications open. Our undergraduate membership has grown to fifty men and women with four new brothers last spring. Bro. Robert Stewardson E10, Bro. Maximilian Szapary E12, and I were elected to the Student Government last fall. We have two brothers who have earned National Championship rings this year, the first being Bro. Megan Leonard E10 with a Division III National Championship in Womens Lacrosse and the most recent being Bro. George Tilghman III with a National Championship in Mens Squash. Our Brothers have kept up with our promise to our house cook to help his friends at Hands on Hartford, a soup kitchen in downtown Harford, by helping to serve several meals each semester.

Last year was an interesting one for the Theta Chapter. Last October, we initiated sixteen pledges to the membership, bringing the number of active members up to forty-five. Our members continue to engage in a breadth of activities on campus, including journalism, a capella, campus theatre, varsity and club sports, improv and standup comedy, to list a handful. Academic pursuits among the membership, as usual, are similarly diversewe have brothers and sisters majoring in disciplines ranging from Chemical and Biological Engineering to East Asian Studies, Comparative Literature to Computer Science. While we still lack a formal C.R., weve long since grown accustomed to adapting meeting to the bohemian drift of our present circumstance. To put it simply, we make do. Chapter affairs proceed as usual, with one notable exception: rush. At the beginning of the 2012-13 academic year, Princeton Universitys rush ban for Greek organizations went into full effect. The University administration officially prohibited interactions between freshmen and Greek organizations, the term interactions interpreted broadly. In particular, the ban forbids freshmen from participating in a rush or pledge process of any kind. In general, the ban prohibits freshmen from engaging in any fraternity/sorority activities of any kind. This includes parties, charity events, speaker series, etc. As one might imagine, this policy impacts our chapter greatly.

The consequences of violating the rush ban are prohibitively severeprobation for freshmen, suspension for members. Full compliance is the only tenable option. So, pursuant to University Policy, the Theta Chapter has postponed rush (traditionally held in early spring) to the fall. We are in the process of restructuring our rush and pledge process to adapt them to the structure of our fall semester. So, its been a quiet spring. Nevertheless, meeting continues to serve as an intellectual touchstone for the membership. This year, we look forward to building our relationship with our alumni organization, in our new fundraising efforts, as well as other chapters of the Order. As ever, and especially in such liminal times, the Hall remains strong.

other chapters who were involved and the re-founders, and the personal experiences of members from the first several pledge classes. The Iota Chapter has a deep appreciation of the fraternitys and our own chapters histories; the knowledge gives us a greater sense of legacy. We hope that Iotas in the distant future will appreciate these records as much as we do those from our Brethren of the 19th century.

Greetings from Rochester, New York! Spring 2013 was an excellent semester for the strengthening of our fraternal bonds. With 11 active undergraduates and four inactives, we have consistently had perfect and enthusiastic attendance to meetings. Morale at Iota, despite difficulties with our local administration, has been astounding. Dedication to and passion for the Hall is greater than ever, and we all share a genuine passion for supporting our Siblings in their pursuits of creative and intellectual advancement. Our alumni organization, the St. Anthony Association of Rochester (StAAR), is equally passionate about supporting Iota on the whole, and there is regular, at least bi-monthly, communication between StAAR and the undergraduate chapter. Iota also had the pleasure of hosting its most highly attended meeting on March 30, 2013, which included 31 Siblings, including StAAR members (present in Rochester for their annual meeting), visiting Kappa undergraduates, and visiting Kappa alumni. Iota is very motivated and always eager to strengthen our inter-chapter bonds. For our traditional semesterly chapter visit, Iota, with the support of a SAEF grant to defray travel costs, took the opportunity to visit Kappa last spring. We hope to get the opportunity to visit some of the chapters farther from us in the coming semesters. Some of our members have achieved such academic excellence as to receive invitations to honor societies in their respective fields. Sis. Katherine (Esty) Thomas I11 was invited to the Alpha Delta Gamma Medieval Honorary Fraternity and Bros. Gregory Sutherland I11 and Alexander Glebov I12 were invited to Dobro Slovo, the Slavic National Honor Society. Under the guidance of our previous and current esteemed historians, Bro. Eric Baukney-Przybylski I11 and Sis. Katherine Briant I12, the chapter is undertaking a venture of historical proportions. The ultimate goal is to have an extensive record of the re-founding and the work required to preserve and maintain the continued success of Iota, including accounts from those within National and

Greetings from King House! I am thrilled to report that the Kappa Chapter is healthy and lively. Here at Kappa, we are collectively catching our breath after a tiring, but incredibly successful rush. Pledgucation was highly successful and we are excited to welcome twentythree undergraduates into our chapter, the largest pledge class in our history. In the spring of 2012, we initiated fifteen K12s who have become invaluable members of our community. The K12s have transitioned into extraordinary leaders of our chapter, organizing all social and literary events for the past year. These have included movie screenings, writing workshops, open mic-nights, a showcase of student bands, and, of course, the Kappa tradition of Sunday morning pancakes. In addition to attracting prospective members, these events have established our chapter as a prominent literary community on Browns campus and have facilitated an excellent relationship with university administration. Our members continue to contribute to the greater Brown community: performing in opera and Shakespearean theatre, volunteering for community health and Providence tutoring organizations, and writing for numerous campus publications and literary journals. Bro. Eli Peterson K10 is a facilitator for the Male Sexuality Workshop, a studentled discussion space that covers topics on masculinity, sexuality, and mens health. Sis. Nicole Jones K11 and Sis. Alexandra Urban K12 have received Brown International Scholar Program fellowships, pursuing independent research projects this summer in Italy and New Zealand respectively. Kappa also publishes a semesterly literary magazine, The Sketchbook. Our editors, Bro. Simon Henriques K12 and Sis. Tonya Riley K12, have recently put out the sixth volume. Please email us if you would like a copy. Sis. Kristina Klara K12 has led our community service efforts this semester. The Kappa Chapter has partnered with Crossroads Rhode Island, a Providence homeless shelter, to organize literacy events. This semester, we will also be participating in cleanups of Rhode Island parks and monuments. Relations with our graduate organization are as strong as ever. The St. Anthony Trust of Rhode Island (SATRI) continues to support our chapter whether through mailing baked goods for our rush events or providing guidance on writing SAEF grants. These grants have allowed

Bro. Hans Gao K12 to participate in a Chinese theatre program in January, and Sis. Maya Manning K11 to work for a nonprofit organization that assists small communities in Ecuador with the production and sale of locally grown tea. In the fall of 2012, the Kappa Chapter began an archiving project through the generosity of SAEF, in an effort to preserve and organize our historical fraternity documents. Finally, the Kappa Chapter and SATRI have been working closely in preparation for G.C. We cannot wait to see you in Providence for G.C. 2014! This past year, Kappa has visited Iota, Sigma, and Tau while welcoming visitors from Xi, Phi, Iota, Sigma, and Tau. We absolutely love having visitors at the corner of Hope and Benevolent Street. If you are ever in Providence, we would be thrilled to host you. Know that you are always welcome at Kappa.

Fortunately we resolved the problem rationallycalling the police to intervene instead of retaliatingand after discussions between our president and theirs, we have had no further incidents. The active chapter maintains a strong relationship with SAANC, of which every active sibling is now a member. We have been working together closely to formalize a lease, and have been coordinating on how to improve maintenance of the house. Swingout took place in April and the weekend was a great success. Thanks to the efforts of both our inactive and active siblings, we saw a larger presence of alumni from earlier years, and several alumni attended who hadnt visited in many years. We were also happy to host the G.C. over the weekend. This summer, however, was a difficult time for the Xi chapter. One of our newest members, Bro. Andrew Edward Crabtree 13, passed away at the age of nineteen. He was well loved, and will be missed.

The last has been, for the most part, a good year for the Xi chapter. Last fall semester, we initiated seven new brothers and sisters, and in the spring semester, we initiated another five new perfect masters. Unfortunately, we also said goodbye to six graduating members, bringing our total active siblings to twenty. Last April, twelve of our members participated in Relay for Life, raising more than 400 dollars. The same weekend, we hosted a charity video game tournament, the proceeds from which went to Childs Play, an organization that provides entertainment to children in hospitals. In March we also hosted a session of ONE ACT, a program aimed at spreading knowledge on how to recognize and prevent instances of sexual assault. The event was open to the Greek Alliance Council and our fraternity council, and several members of other Greek organizations attended. Last semester saw comfortable advancement in relations with the university as well. We joined the Greek Alliance Council (GAC) as full members, securing us a stable footing in the university community. Membership in the GAC has many potential benefits for our chapter. The dynamics of the relationships between members of the GAC are similar to our chapters own; they are a very closeknit group of people who are there for each other and who take pride in belonging to the organization. Hopefully, in the coming semesters, we will be able to integrate ourselves more fully in the council and get all that we can from it. We started this process already by hosting joint events with several of the other member organizations. Our usually adversarial relationship with our neighbors, , has, if not improved, then calmed down. On Interview Night, our bid day, events came to a head when they threw bottles at our house, shattering glass over the heads of our members and

The Sigma Chapter is ending the year on a great note with an active membership of 52 members. This year has been a joyous one for the Hall at Yale as it marks the 100th anniversary of the construction of our building at 483 College Street. To celebrate this wonderful occasion, the ATA organized a weekend-long Centennial Celebration that brought together alumni of different generations to reminisce and reconnect with the Hall. We were excited to meet so many of our alumni, and we look forward to cultivating more intimate relations with them in the future. In addition, our annual Pump & Slipper Ball in April was a great success. Over 200 attendees, including some members from the Xi chapter, danced the night away. In general, our inter-chapter relations are booming with visits to and from our siblings in Epsilon, Xi, Kappa, and Phi. The Hall played host to a number of other events this year, including several lectures, concerts, and film screenings. Our dynamic lecture coordinators are already thinking ahead to the fall and have begun planning our annual lecture series, funded generously by a SAEF Grant. The series is an integral part of our recruitment effort during the rush process. All lecture events are free and open to the public, which helps maintain our positive relationship with the university administration and the Yale community at large. Lastly, we are sad to bid a wonderful graduating class goodbye later this semester. I am proud to report that our 18 graduating members this year include a Rhodes scholar, a Fulbright scholar, and two Gates Cambridge scholars. We will miss the class of Sigma 10 dearly and look forward to their active engagement as alumni.

Greetings from the Number Six Club! Last year we had twenty-three pledges, and that was the first year in a long time that all individuals who pledged were initiated and became full members. We are very proud of the diversity and success of our new pledge classour new members are incredibly active in social, literary, and community service events and leadership positions at the Club. The academic, literary, and cultural diversity of our membership is abundant. Our fifty-six active members hail from more than thirty different nationalities and engage in a range of activities both inside and outside the classroom. On the academic side for example, one of our brothers is an active researcher at the Harvard Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering, and another was recently a co-author on a publication in Nature Biotechnology for the development of synthetic biology circuits. Outside the classroom, we have members who are actively involved in cultural organizations, a brother who performs with the Senegalese Drum Ensemble, a sister who is an experienced painter, a brother who plays on the varsity basketball team, and a handful of siblings who dedicate their time to varsity crew and sailing. Furthermore, last year was a special one for the Tau Chapter as we had the honor to host the national G.C. Convention in January. We would like to thank all who attended G.C.it was an incredible time for us and it would not have been possible without the involvement and hard work from both the undergraduate body and our alumni association, St. Anthony Association of Boston (SAAB). We were incredibly happy to have had such a great turnout this year, and were glad to see the ties with our alumni strengthen through this event. The next major focus of the year was on our community service involvement at MIT and in the Boston area. After winning first place in the MIT FSILG (Fraternity, Sorority and Independent Living Group) Community Service Challenge last spring, our momentum for service is still going strong. In the fall, more than fifteen members participated in the Erg-a-thon exercise challenge to support the MIT Amphibious Achievement Club, a dual athletic and academic program for urban youth. We also had a team participate in Relay For Life to help support the American Cancer Society. Additionally, our community service chairs Sis. Nina Jreige T11, Sis. Angelique Nehmzow T10, and Sis. Defne Gurel T11 organized a group to volunteer at Rosies Place, a sanctuary for homeless women in Boston. Weve developed a great relationship with the management team at Rosies Place and plan on continuing to serve there in the future. Finally, we have recently hosted an event in our own house for the kids from the Boston Italian Home for Children, a residential facility for emotionally and behaviorally challenged children. We organized an Easter egg hunt at the house followed with

lunch for the kids, and it was an experience I can only describe as beautiful. I am very honored to share with you all our experiences at Tau this academic year, and as always, we welcome visits from alumni with open arms. Cheers to a fantastic year and I hope to see you all soon!

Last spring the Upsilon Chapter, including soon-to-be graduates, sat with a record membership of seventy-two brothers. We could not be more proud of our rush efforts and success of the brotherhood. The large membership indicates a positive trend, and we are confident our members will continue to be leaders in the University and greater St. Anthony Hall community. The University of Virginia mandated an early end to the pledging process for all fraternities on grounds, effectively ending all activities by April 7. We of course complied with this demand and were able to conform to the new procedures and regulations required by the University. On March 21, 2013, the St. Anthony Hall Alumni association and undergraduates had cocktails and a light dinner at the Commonwealth Club in Richmond, VA. Sixty of the seventy-two brothers attended this annual tradition that serves as a valuable networking event as well as an opportunity for alums to meet up with their old classes. The event was a success and we look forward to repeating it in the years to come. Rising fourth-year Bro. Matt Fortin 11 and starting long snapper for the Cavalier Football team will be living on The Lawn for the 2013-2014 school year, a timehonored tradition for the Universitys brightest and most involved students. Bro. Richard Lee 12 successfully received an SAEF grant to study abroad in Spain during the summer of 2013. On April 26, 2013, the Upsilon chapter hosted our annual Billy Hill 5k. The event is held in memory of Bro. William Maury Hill, a 1977 University of Virginia graduate and Hall Alumnus who was an avid runner and who sadly died of a heart attack while running the Richmond Marathon in 1981. Each year since 1982, the race against heart disease and stroke has started near the steps of 133 Chancellor Street, and the Billy Hill Memorial has emerged as one of the most widely recognized philanthropic events on Grounds. As a fundraiser, the Billy Hill Memorial has no equal in the Greek System. Each year, the Hall consistently raises more than $10,000 for the American Heart Associationthe most by any house for any charity. Additionally, the Upsilon Chapter raised $2,000 dollars for Camp Kesem, a Charlottesville Area summer camp for children whose parents are battling or have been lost to cancer. The Upsilon Chapter has never been stronger and we look forward to continuing to foster the relationship between alums and our brothers and sisters all over.

Greetings from the Phi Chapter! We initiated twentyfour new members from the fall 2012 pledge class, and initiated four from our spring 2013 pledge class. We currently have seventy-six actives, with each and every one excited to be a Phiboy. Roughly ten undergraduates attended G.C. this past year at Tau, where we met actives from other chapters, exchanged ideas with alumni, and explored the city of Boston. While there, we also discovered that the Phi chapter was awarded five different SAEF grants: two for brothers to study abroad to do thesis research, one for a literary magazine to distribute throughout campus, one for continuing our lecture series, and one for materials to help restore our archives. Overall, G.C. was a tremendous experience for those of us who went, and we have encouraged everyone to attend G.C. at Kappa next year! During the 11-12 academic year, the Phi chapter had both the highest GPA and the most intramural sports points out of all other Greek fraternities. While this years results have not yet been released, several brothers have made profound impacts on campus. Bros. Carter Barnett 12, Sean Higgins 12, and Channing Lansdell 12 were selected to be Orientation Leaders this year. Bro. Higgins is also joining Bro. Rob Barber 12 and Bro. Austin Vitale 12 as a

member of the Columns Society, which is an organization that helps high-profile university guests become accustomed to campus. Several brothers have also been teaching financial literacy and entrepreneurship to high school seniors through Moneythink, and many have been inducted into the Phi Kappa Phi honor society. An accomplishment the Phi chapter is especially proud of, though, is our dedication to RebelTHON this past year. Co-founded by N.B. Adam Stanford 10, RebelTHON held various fundraisers this past year to raise money for LeBonheur Childrens Hospital in Memphis. At the end of the year, RebelTHON hosted a 12-hour dance marathon where LeBonheur patients, Ole Miss students, and members of the community danced and participated in a variety of activities. In addition to N.B. Stanford, Bros. Rob Barber 12, Wil Yerger 10, and myself all served on the Executive Board to make the event possible. More than thirty brothers participated in the event, and we raised nearly $2,000 for the childrens hospital. RebelTHON as a whole raised more than $25,000, and we cannot wait to dedicate another year to this organization! While the Phi chapter may be far away from other chapters, we heartily encourage all brothers and sisters to come spend a weekend with us down south. We love visiting other chapters so we can meet more brothers and sisters and learn more about a chapters specific history and traditions, and we enjoy hosting members from other chapters. If you come visit us in the heart of dixie, we promise youll have a time youll never forget!

Thanks

to all who attended for your robust and enthusiastic participation at the 2013 G.C. Special commendation is due to a small handful of chapters and individual Brothers. In honor of their myriad talents and achievements, the St. Anthony trophies and awards were granted as follows:

There are two new trophies to add to our cabinet of national fraternity trophies. E.Bro. David Beers E54, H.D. 2003 has quite generously given a fine quality sterling silver presentation piece to be the new Trinity Bowl. This bowl is awarded at each G.C. to the chapter that has been deemed to have performed the most praiseworthy community charitable services in the previous year. At the G.C. last year, the Tau Chapter won it for their copious good works. In addition, there will finally be a real Danforth Trophy. This award is given for the best singing performance at the G.C. It was originally instituted by E.Bro. Jack Danforth T36, H.D. 1978. Until now, there has not been a physical trophyin past years a paper certificate was presented to the winner. E.Bro. George Smith 57, H.D. 1973 found a very handsome antique sterling silver mug at an estate sale in Connecticut, which once belonged to our late brother Horatio Nelson Slater, Jr. T42 (his father Horatio Sr. was T12). Bro. Smith gave the silver mug, which is engraved with the No. 6 Club, and Bro. Slaters name, to the fraternity at the G.C. last year. The powers that be decided to turn it into the official Danforth Cup. Bro. Beers had an inventive leash of silver medallions custom made and attached to the handle in order to be able to engrave the name of the annual winners of the cup each year henceforth. Iota won this award in 2013 for inspired singing at the G.C. Hopefully this upgrade will inspire even finer singing! These two new trophies will be formally presented to the chapter winners at the 1-2-3 Leadership Conference outside of Philadelphia in late September, with great appreciation and general acclaim.

Former H.D. E.Bro. Jim Wilson 79 and his family recently completed their sailing trip around the world aboard the Ceol Mor, arriving back in Annapolis on June 28, 2013. Among other adventures, they were trailed by a cyclone in the Indian Ocean, and they aided in the rescue of 150 Iraqi and Iranian refugees from a sinking fishing vessel. From their blog: After we were able to effect their rescue, we pulled away with cries that I will never forget: God bless you and God bless America and Boston Tea Party. They visited Napoloeons grave on St. Helena, Gaugins on Hiva Oa, and Paul Krugers in Pretoria. They tried a McArabia sandwich in Mauritius, witnessed a volcanic eruption on Montserrat that covered Ceol Mor with a deep layer of ash, and were hit in the head by both flying fish and squid!

Bro. Walter Culpepper 65 authored a novel, The Replacement Son, released on June 4, 2013 by Two Harbors Press. He frames his protoganists psychological drama within an epic adventure story, bringing a charming but most unlikely hero and an exotic range of supporting characters to life in a compelling story of sacrifice and discovery. Harry McChesney is seven when he first learns of Buddy, his only brother, who had died young and left his family in misery. Harry struggles to define himself, rescue his family from the emotional aftermath of his brothers death, and undertake a lifetime of labors as the next head of the McChesney clan. The novel tracks reluctant pilgrim Harry on his existential quest through Depression-Era New Orleans, WWII, and the citys devastation following Hurricane Katrina. Along his journey, Harry gets help from a trusted family servant, a powerful talisman, and a bizarre set of twins. Throughout The Replacement Son, Buddys dark spirit lurks in the shadows. The brothers shared legacy seems only threatening and harmful. In the chaos of war Harry discovers a shocking secret that might offer a resolution and release for both brothers. But their conflict doesnt end there, and Harry faces failure and defeat much later in lifetrapped in the floods of Hurricane Katrina when time is running out on everything. Bro. Culpepper is a retired physician living in Austin, Texas with his wife and daughter. Prior to Hurricane Katrina, he lived and worked in New Orleans, LA, the beloved city where he was born and raised. Dr. Culpepper has written poetry since his undergraduate years at the University of Virginia where he was an Echols Scholar in English literature. After practicing and teaching pediatric cardiology for more than twenty-five years, he decided to focus on his writing and began exploring Japanese minimalist verse forms. His English haiku have appeared in the Tokyo Edition of the Mainichi Daily News, The International Newspaper of Japan, beginning in 2001. As a member of the Haiku Society of America, he produced a collection of less traditional Zen verse, entitled Haiku Lite: Poems for the New Millennium. His prose works include a travel memoir, France 2007: A Journal and a collection of essays on growing up in post-WW II New Orleans, Tales of Yute. The Replacement Son is his first novel. Trading floors have always been fascinating, but few people understand the role they play in the world of finance. How the Trading Floor Really Works, published on October 22, 2012 by Bloomberg Press, reveals the key players on the floor, their roles and duties, how they serve their clients, and how they impact the market. The book provides a detailed look at what really happens in the front office of an investment bank, and why.

It was a New York Times Critics Pick and Ben Brantley, chief reviewer of the Times gave it a rave, calling it Something nearly miraculous. The New Yorker called Plummer Ardent and Ravenous and the NY Post said, In a time of cookiecutter theater, The Two-Character Play STANDS OUT. Few can do cray-cray like these two.
