Brent D. Larson, South Dakota '94, has been chosen to<br />
receive the second Robert J. Miller Leadership Award.<br />
He will use the $2,500 scholarship for his final year at<br />
the University of South Dakota where he maintains a<br />
perfect 4.0 GPA in mathematics and actuarial science.<br />
The Miller Award was established to honor outstanding<br />
leadership in the chapter and on the campus.<br />
It just so happens that Brent Larson, the mathematics<br />
scholar, is also a most outstanding <strong>Phi</strong> <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Theta</strong><br />
leader. Having served the chapter as alumni secretary,<br />
social chairman, and assistant rush chairman, he is currentiy<br />
the chapter treasurer.<br />
Brent Larson receives the Robert J. Miller<br />
Award from Rusty Richardson, director of<br />
Larson has been a member of the University Student<br />
Senate for three years. He serves on the<br />
business affairs, at the Leadership College.<br />
University's Recreational Sports Committee and on<br />
the Parking and Traffic Committee. He is a member of the Brothers of Bordeaux and the "Dakotans,"<br />
a University service organization in charge of Homecoming activities. He has been active in<br />
the University's Task Force on AIDS since his freshman year. During the summer of 1991, Brent<br />
spent a month with members of the USD chapter of the Campus Crusade for Christ rebuilding a<br />
village in Jamaica that had been destroyed by a hurricane.<br />
Brent has been honored by membership in <strong>Phi</strong> Eta Sigma, a freshman honor society; Guidon<br />
Society, a sophomore honor society; Mortar Board, a junior honor society; and by Pi Mu Epsilon,<br />
a mathematics honor society. He has also received two University of South Dakota scholarships<br />
given to outstanding math students.<br />
Brent's brothers point out that his scholastic achievement is not just a personal matter. He<br />
also promotes scholarship within the chapter. "If a brother is in need of help. Brent will gladly help<br />
him, either by improving the brother's study techniques or by aiding in explaining the material."<br />
Chapter adviser Michael A. McGowan, Iowa State '85, writes,"When it comes to the selection<br />
of new members, you want to get twenty more just like Brent. Unfortunately, what i know is,<br />
there are not twenty more just like Brent. Fortunately, it only takes one."<br />
McGowan further states,"! adhere to the simple belief that a leader is the individual who helps<br />
those around him achieve their potential ...The other actives of South Dakota Alpha are better <strong>Phi</strong>s<br />
because Brent Larson is a <strong>Phi</strong>." That seems to be a very fitting description for the recipient of the<br />
Robert J. Miller Leadership Award. •<br />
