tions with other <strong>Phi</strong>s from across <strong>No</strong>rth America as the most valuable<br />
aspect of the program. Rich Fabritius from Ohio Lambda at<br />
Kent State University came to the CoUege to learn new ideas for<br />
<strong>Phi</strong>keia education, but he says a lot of what he learned came from<br />
other students.<br />
"The most valuable experience is interaction vnth brothers<br />
from other chapters, understanding that the Fraternity is bigger<br />
than your chapter," he said. "The best information I got was from<br />
the other guys. It's Uke a huge brainstorming session."<br />
This being the second Leadership CoUege he has attended,<br />
Brother Fabritius believes an annual CoUege is a good idea. "Every<br />
year there are new chapter leaders who haven't been to<br />
Leadership CoUege who can benefit from it," says Brother<br />
Fabritius. "It can only be a positive experience for the members<br />
and the Fraternity."<br />
Troy Erickson echoes that sentiment. "Put as many brothers<br />
through the CoUege as possible and it can only positively affect<br />
your chapter. You learn more there in a week than in a whole year<br />
at the chapter," he said.<br />
N. Carolina <strong>Delta</strong> wins the Harvard<br />
BY DAVID ALMACY<br />
The Harvard Trophy<br />
originated in 1924 when 50<br />
<strong>Phi</strong>s attending Harvard decided<br />
to create an award to<br />
recognize chapter exceUence.<br />
The trophy annuaUy recognizes<br />
the chapter<br />
demonstrating aU-around<br />
exceUence in campus leadership<br />
and chapter operations.<br />
This year's recipient is<br />
<strong>No</strong>rth CaroUna <strong>Delta</strong> at<br />
<strong>No</strong>rth CaroUna State Uni- .<br />
versity. At the 1992 General<br />
Convention in ArUngton,<br />
Va., the <strong>Phi</strong>s at N.C. State<br />
were awarded the Founders<br />
Trophy, sharing the award<br />
with Missouri Epsilon at<br />
Southwest Missouri State<br />
University. However, due to<br />
their increasing chapter<br />
membership. <strong>No</strong>rth Caro<br />
Una <strong>Delta</strong> was moved into<br />
the Harvard Trophy category.<br />
They are only the<br />
second chapter ever to win<br />
the Founders Trophy and<br />
Harvard Trophy consecutively.<br />
Mississippi Alpha at<br />
the University of Mississippi<br />
also boasts this honor.<br />
<strong>No</strong>rth CaroUna <strong>Delta</strong>'s<br />
campus honors include 129<br />
scholarships, five intramural<br />
sport championships, the student<br />
government president<br />
and four executive officers, a<br />
number one academic ranking<br />
in eight of the past nine semesters,<br />
and simply<br />
overwhelming campus involvement.<br />
The members<br />
were recendy awarded the<br />
University's prestigious<br />
CaldweU Cup which recognizes<br />
the best chapter on<br />
campus. It is an honor the<br />
brothers have held for the past<br />
three years.<br />
This level of exceUence<br />
has brought additional honors<br />
from the General Fraternity.<br />
This year the chapter also won<br />
the Bininger ReUgious Life<br />
Award, the St. Louis Fraternity<br />
Education Award, a<br />
Bigger's Ritual Award, a<br />
Scholarship Award, a Sound<br />
Learning Award, and a Community<br />
Service Citation.<br />
The brothers have set the<br />
standard in community service<br />
on their campus.<br />
From Founders to Harvard: <strong>Phi</strong>s from <strong>No</strong>rth Carolina State<br />
receive their trophy from General Council member, Arby Dickert.<br />
Members volunteered for organizations<br />
such as<br />
Adopt-a-Highway, Habitat<br />
for Humanity, the <strong>No</strong>rth<br />
CaroUna Food Bank, Young<br />
Life and the Council on Aging.<br />
Perhaps their most<br />
impressive event was the Les<br />
Robinson Celebrity Golf<br />
Tournament. The event raised<br />
almost $10,000 for the Make-<br />
A-Wish Foundation.<br />
Mark Medlock, the 1992-<br />
93 chapter president, claims<br />
the secret to the chapter's success<br />
stems directly from<br />
membership recruitment.<br />
"When you actively seek<br />
quaUty individuals, then you<br />
wiU reap the rewards," he says.<br />
Brother Medlock emphasizes<br />
that <strong>No</strong>rth CaroUna <strong>Delta</strong> is<br />
committed to recruiting only<br />
"those who are internaUy motivated<br />
and those who seek to<br />
bring out the best in themselves<br />
and in others."<br />
The chapter has certainly<br />
proved this to be true.<br />
Founded in 1988, this young<br />
chapter is celebrating its first<br />
Harvard Trophy, and if the<br />
chapter's tradition of excellence<br />
continues, it v^iU surely<br />
not be its last.<br />
