As a country, we are grapplingwith high unemployment, a recession,and war. On the whole, our mindsets havespun 180 degrees in the past 12 months,from living in times of security to times ofuncertainty. Despite these drastic changes,there is one staple that remains a source ofcomfort for us all, and that is the brotherhoodwe share in Delta Sigma Pi. By taking the time to utilizethe resources and network we all share by being a brother of thisinternational Fraternity, we can learn and grow.In my Epsilon Psi chapter (Christian Brothers–University ofMemphis), our 30-some members represent eight different countries,seven languages, and five religions. While being diverse initself is a positive attribute, it is how you utilize this trait thatmakes it special. I have tried to seize the opportunity to personallyconnect with my fellow brothers, and have discovered the mostinteresting nuances about people. Whether your conversationsinvolve political debates, or determining if Elvis or the Beatlesshaped rock and roll, socializing enhances your knowledge.Through my experience in Deltasig and my collegiate years, Ihave learned that seizing every opportunity available will defineyou as a more interesting person. Opportunities can range fromlistening and conversing with others in a coffee shop, traveling toanother country, or applying for that grandiose internship youthink is out of your league. Try to invest your maximum in all youdo—do not just take 125 credit hours, take 145; do not just join asociety, serve as its leader; do not just live on campus, studyabroad. I know it can be extremely worrisome to take risks withoutthe encouragement of others. Personally, I have surroundedmyself with mentors and close brothers who offer constructivecriticism and urge me to keep pushing the envelope in all of myambitions.With this, I am ecstatic to serve as your 2009 NationalCollegian of the Year! I cannot wait to begin my term serving inthis national capacity as a resource and representative for all collegiatebrothers. I look forward to meeting, getting to know, andreconnecting with as many brothers as I possibly can.Additionally, I am eager to widen my scope of the Fraternity andassist in maintaining Deltasig’s success through these challengingeconomic times. Through it all, I am proud to be a part of thiswonderful organization where every member has a special connectionto one another.I look forward to seeing you in our nation’s capital at GrandChapter Congress this August! ▲Fraternally,Burton Bridges, Christian Brothers2009 National Collegian of the YearJULY 2009/THE DELTASIG OF DELTA SIGMA PI 9

COLLEGIANSCherish the Spirit of the FraternityThe moment has come for me to reflect back on the time I have spentserving as the 2007 National Collegian of the Year. The first thing I wantto do is thank each and every one of you.You have all made this experiencetruly memorable. I have learned so much about brotherhood, thisFraternity, and myself throughout this two-year journey.It seems like it was just yesterday when I received a call from GrandPresident Mitch Simmons congratulating me on being selected to bethe National COY. I literally did not believe it was true. It was not untilhe passed the phone to Vice President-Organizational DevelopmentMark Chiacchiari, that I was convinced I won this prestigious honor. I am so proud to havehad the opportunity to serve on the Board of Directors. I feel that as a group we made gooddecisions that will put this Fraternity in a great position for the next 100 years.Serving as National COY has been a whirlwind adventure that I am grateful for each andevery day. As Robert Brault once said,“Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may lookback and realize they were the big things.”As I look back at the past two years, I am realizingit was all the “little things”that happened that made this experience so special. Between thebonding with brothers from all over the country, the late night chats, the fun adventures, andof course all the advice received and things learned—each moment has enriched my life.During my years in Delta Sigma Pi, I have learned a great deal, such as: writing resumes,interviewing, networking, and business etiquette, but I would have to say the most importantthing I have learned is about true brotherhood. This is one of the few organizations I’ve seenwhere you may have just met a brother, but they will go out on a limb to help you. I’ve seenso many examples of this spirit from across the country. This ranges from brothers calling justto chat when someone is having a tough time, to helping brothers find jobs during this difficulteconomy, to someone actually giving a brother the clothes off of their back so they didnot have to present in jeans when the airline lost their luggage. The members of Delta SigmaPi understand that brotherhood is not only to be a service to the Fraternity, but also to be aservice to each other. If I could leave you with one piece of advice, it would be to cherish thespirit of brotherhood in this Fraternity. I believe there truly is no organization as special asours.Let me say it has been an honor to serve as your 2007 National Collegian of the Year. Ihope that, at least in a small way, I was able to help bridge the gap between collegiate chaptersand the Board of Directors. To my many brothers I had the pleasure of meeting over thepast two years, I hope you will take what you have learned from the various events and sharethem with others. I appreciate all I have learned from each of you and look forward to seeingyou all again soon. Although my time in this role has passed, I am still going to be involved inDelta Sigma Pi. For you recent graduates, I encourage you to do the same. Remember, DeltaSigma Pi is not just for four years, it’s for life! ▲Fraternally,Vicki Frantz, Penn State-State College2007 National Collegian of the YearMichigan– Gabriela CobbMichigan State– MichaelSchefmanMidwestern State– ThomasDeasy IIIMinnesota– AnnaKamperschroerMinnesota State– BrianLeonhardiMissouri-Columbia– ScottRowlandMissouri State– BrettGainesNebraska-Omaha– KevinBradleyNevada-Reno– ChristopherTompkinsNew Mexico– Joshua JohnEverettNew Mexico State–Lorraine TangonanNew York– Andrew GoonNorth Carolina-ChapelHill– Jessica DowerNorth Texas– Navid LadhaNorthern Colorado– KatieYoungOhio Dominican– DustinCrewOklahoma– Jennifer BryantOklahoma State– KatieNicholasPenn State-Erie– ReneeStaulPenn State-State College–Jared EtkinsPittsburgh– Brant HawkRadford– Yanil EscobarRedlands– Lisa YochelsonRider– Kelly JasionRockhurst– Joshua HollisRoger Williams– BrandonFransonSaint Louis– Patrick BanksSt. Cloud State– Cory StopkaSaginaw Valley State–Melissa ReinertSan Diego State– JoshuaRamirezSan Francisco– Dan LewisSan Francisco State–Rosalie EdsonSan Jose State– Kerry To10 JULY 2009/THE DELTASIG OF DELTA SIGMA PI

Jumpstart Your Job Search ina Tough Economyby Brad Karsh,President of JobBoundTo ensure you can landthat summerinternship or dreamjob after graduation,it’s time to jumpstartyour job search now!Especially with such a grim jobmarket, you will have to work harderand be more persistent to get where youwant to be.1. Network, network, network. Eighty percent of jobsaren’t posted. Sixty percent of candidates get a job throughnetworking. The single best way to get a job is to know somebody.Yes,it should be based on merit alone, but unfortunatelythat isn’t how it works. Tap into as many connections as youcan. School or Delta Sigma Pi alumni are great ones. They loveto hear from current students about life on campus. Don’tknow many alums in positions to make a difference for you?Start emailing the graduates highlighted in your school’s alumninewsletter. Congratulate them on whatever got them listedand let the conversation—and relationship—begin.Don’t forget you can network with your parents’ friends,older siblings’ friends, etc. You never know what connectionsUncle Phil has!2. Get your resume in order. Since this one piece of paperdetermines more than anything else your ability to get the jobyou want, it better be good. Focus on accomplishments insteadof job descriptions. Most recruiters will tell you that a majority ofresumes don’t sell a student hard enough because they simplyBrad Karsh is president of JobBound, acareer-consulting company advising studentsand professionals on resume writing, interviewing,and landing that dream job. Author of Howto Say it on Your Resume and Confessions of aRecruiting Director: The Insider’s Guide to LandingYour First Job, Brad has a partnership with Delta Sigma Pi,offering many services to our members—including free careertip videos, accessed on the “Partner/Discounts” page ofwww.dspnet.org (where you can also read more aboutJobBound).list the activitiesthat anyone holdingthat position hasever done.If what is written onyour resume can be writtenby the person who had the jobbefore you, after you, or next to you, then you haven’t doneyourself justice.3. Be professional. As a recruiter, you don’t want to call astudent at school and hear the following message, “Yo dude,the K-man is rockin’ hard at the moment, so leave your digitsand I’ll give you a holla when I can.” Nor do they want to sendemails to puppylover@yahoo.com. or studmuffin@hotmail.com.Now is the time to find other ways to express your individuality.4. Start reading “trade” magazines. Every industry haspublications specifically targeted to professionals in that field.Usually they have online versions as well. In addition to learningmore about the industry itself, you can also typically findjob openings. For instance, if you read that Ajax consulting justwon a huge account, chances are they may be staffing up.There are scores of these magazines, and your career center oryour professors can help you find the right ones.5. Research job openings. Sounds exciting doesn’t it? Factis, you have to do it. Start looking for companies and industriesthat really interest you. Comb over their web sites.Some may be hiring now, but many employ “just in timerecruiting.”That means they don’t hire until they have a need.And since you can’t quit school right now to take the job (eventhough you’d like to), they won’t start looking for college studentsuntil April or so.But knowing how they hire and getting contacts at thecompanies can only help. Also, some may offer internships forcollege grads, which is not a bad way to get your foot in thedoor. Check that out as well…sometimes they take applicationsfor summer internships in the winter.If you tackle these five steps, you’ll be on your way tolanding a great job! Good luck! ▲16 JULY 2009/THE DELTASIG OF DELTA SIGMA PI

Did you?Start a new business or job? Get a promotion? Get recognized for an achievement?Share your good news here!Press ReleasesNorthwestern-Evanston Brother Frank WrenickChronicles History of Greyhound Terminalsby Ashley KornWhen you think of travel, what comes to mind? For most it’s probablya plane or a car, but in post-depression America it was theGreyhound bus.Frank Wrenick, Northwestern-Evanston, recently published a historicalvolume about the architecture behind Greyhound stations entitledThe Streamline Era Greyhound Terminals: The architecture of W.S. Arrasmith. Brother Wrenick’svolume not only looks at the life and achievements of W.S. Arrasmith, but also focuses on thearchitectural developments he made for Greyhound in the streamline era (1937–1948).Arrasmith designed at least 50 terminals for Greyhound—Wrenick devoted the last third of thebook to twenty-eight, comparing them by past and present architecture styles.This book isn’t the first time Brother Wrenick has taken on the role of historian. While attendingNorthwestern, he was his chapter’s historian in 1961. He definitely looks back on his collegeDeltasig days with high regard. “Being a Deltasig helped me with the social side of college life, asI was a commuter student. Pledge week was unforgettable and actually fun. I just remembereveryone seemed to always have a good time together. One of the brothers taught me a trick toplaying the piano well enough to impress any non-pianist and I continue to use what he taughtme today.”Brother Wrenick went on to receive a law degree from Indiana in 1965 and served as BP’sU.S. tax counsel until his retirement in 1977.

Paul Shrater, Pennsylvania, in the Minimus.biz warehouse with a sampling of some of his many individual-sized and travel-size products.Pennsylvania Brother RevolutionizesOnline Travel Product IndustryIn July ’04, Paul Shrater, Pennsylvania, co-founded the companyMinimus.biz. Since then, this Newbury Park, Calif. companyhas grown to become the leader in travel-sized and individual-sizeditems through both its online retail presence andan offline wholesale business. Minimus.biz specializes in food,personal care and pharmacy care items (from shampoo andhand sanitizer to individual-size cereal boxes andcondiments). Shrater, and the company, have been featured inmajor national media outlets, including The Wall Street Journal,The New York Times, MSNBC,The Today Show, and many more.Q: Where did the idea for the company come from?A: At the end of a family trip to a cabin in New Hampshire,where bottles of everyone’s favorite condiments were thrownaway, we thought it would be great to have a place to buythose types of things in small sizes. Beyond that, it should be aplace to get anything in a small size. It felt like the timing wasright to carve out a niche in the e-commerce world at a timewhen people were finally feeling comfortable with puttingtheir credit cards online, yet there were not yet a lot of stores toservice the demand of online shoppers.Q: How did the company get started?A: We started small, with just me, a computer, four shelves ofproducts, and 500 sq. ft. of space. It was intended to be a funside venture while pursuing my main career. However, it wasimmediately apparent that it needed more focused attention.Within a few weeks, we added an employee, then another 50020 JULY 2009/THE DELTASIG OF DELTA SIGMA PI

sq. ft., then another couple of employees, and within threemonths, we were in a 10,000 sq. ft. warehouse. Four years later,we now have over 30 employees and are in 30,000 sq. ft., andstill growing.Q: What was your main career?A: After graduating in 1995, I spent nine years in the entertainmentindustry in Los Angeles, working my way up the ranks ofa film and television production company, eventually becominga producer and screenwriter on my own. I sold some film andtelevision projects (none of which have ever been produced),and wrote some film finance business plans (including one formogul Quincy Jones).Q: How did you prepare yourself to be an entrepreneur?A: My concentration in college was in entrepreneurial management,which provided an overall approach to the world ofbeing an entrepreneur, but book learning only goes so far.A majority of the entertainment industry is made up of smallproduction companies and independent workers, so it is a veryentrepreneurial world at its heart. It provided great hands-onexperience in tenacious multi-tasking at the forefront of somethingwhere one’s actions have direct impact.Q: To what do you attribute the success of the company?A: I think there are a number of factors that have combinedtogether to breed success. The power of the internet and abilityto get products into the hands of people who are looking forthem cannot be underestimated. Certainly, being first tomarket with a unique idea was critical.That factor also led to agreat amount of PR, and that was part of the initialstrategy—especially in a lowmarginindustry where mostforms of advertising cannotprovide a good ROI. Whilethe Transportation SecurityAdministration’s 3-1-1 ruledefinitely provided a newfocus on travel sizes, we hadbeen rapidly growing prior tothat, across many differentmarket segments. We alsofollowed the mantra toalways test things beforediving in, enabling us tomitigate risk. Another greatbuilding block to our successwas to have a collection offriends, family (and Fraternitybrothers) who became “sanitycheckers”or sounding-boardsfor ideas, operational issues,or anything where it was helpful to talk things through withsomeone.Q: What advice would you give to fellow Deltasigs lookingto become entrepreneurs?A: Surround yourself with people who can help fill in theblanks, provide advice, and take charge of certain aspects, asyou won’t have time to do it all with the appropriate focus.Q: How has Deltasig helped you in your career?A: The Fraternity was an incredible way to establish a trustedpeer group of business-minded individuals, many of whom arestill some of my closest friends 14 years after graduatingcollege. Personally, one of the lessons we had at our chapterwas to “use your resources”where we were given seeminglyimpossible pieces of information to find (pre-internet).Learning to really think outside the box to solve problems andfind solutions has been a lesson that has stuck with me, andhelped to shape how I approach situations in life and inbusiness. ▲www.minimus.bizReference your membership in Delta Sigma Pi forspecial rates on wholesale purchases, customized kits withyour brand, or purchases intended for charitable support(homeless giveaways, military care packages, etc.).For individual retail purchases, please use the couponcode DELTASIG for 5% off your orderswhen you visit www.minimus.biz.Brother Shraterlives in Tujunga,Calif., with his wife,22-month-olddaughter andanother soon on theway!

Thecommunity service committee accomplished severaltasks, including maintaining the web site with helpful information,issuing a national survey, and selecting and organizing acommunity service event to be held at Grand ChapterCongress.First, on behalf of the committee, I want to thank all of youwho gave your time and sweat to the various causes. I ampleased to announce we had much greater participation inboth Make A Difference Day (MADD) and blood drive eventsthan in years past. Congratulations and a big THANK YOU tothe chapters who participated in Blood Drive events this year!53 chapters registered their events, while many more submittedtheir events for CEI points. Several held more than oneblood drive throughout the year, while others teamed up orheld a friendly competition with Alpha Kappa Psi. Let’s keepup the momentum! The date for our next blood drive isSeptember 1, 2009 thru April 30, 2010. Start planning today!The new Provincial Initiative service events have alsobecome popular with chapters participating at LEAD events, oron their own throughout the semester. With the newCommunity Service Center web page going live in 2008(www.dspnet.org/site/about_us/CommunityService.asp), up-todateinformation has been provided to assist you with planningyour events, as well as answering any questions.A national survey was sent to every chapter VP-CS andalumni president last fall. Results can be found on theCommunity Service Center page. The survey had multiple purposes:▲ Determine the success and recognize opportunities for ournational community service initiatives and the communityservice program overall;▲ Identify types of organizations chapters prefer to work with;▲ Identify a possible single philanthropy to be adopted as anew national initiative and/or replace any existinginitiatives;▲ Identify best practices currently utilized by chapters.The committee researched various non-profit organizationsand selected Kids in Need as the Congress community serviceevent. Kids in Need (www.kidsinneed.net) is a national organizationwith a distribution center in the Washington D.C. areaproviding school supplies to teachers and schools in need. Justin time for a new school year, I can’t think of a more deservingorganization for Deltasigs to aid.Finally, I attended the Gulf South Regional Initiation inApril and I couldn’t help but notice that “service” was mentionedthroughout the Ritual… service to our brothers, to ourFraternity, to our community. If you did not see the two-pageMake A Difference Day spread in the March ’09 issue of TheDELTASIG, I suggest you check it out. The articles and picturespublished were just a handful of those received. Did you noticethe long list of chapters who participated and submitted theirevent information?

Recession:Spinning Straw Into Goldby David J. Dempsey, JD © 2009 Neon Zebra, LLC, www.neon-zebra.com“You can have brilliant ideas,but if you can’t get them across, yourbrains won’t get you anywhere.”– Lee IacoccaIn today’s turbulent economy, thecompetition is fierce for the attentionof your clients, potential clients,shareholders, board members, and businessassociates. They are juggling tightschedules; crushing personal and professionaldemands on their time; discouragingnews and headlines; shrinkingbottom lines; and employee layoffs.So how do you go about craftingpowerful, inspirational business messagesin the middle of a recession, thetypes of messages that have the potentialto inspire your audiences to riseabove the ordinary during extraordinarytimes? The following seven presentationprinciples should guide you to build thekinds of presentations that will help youspin the current economic straw intopresentation gold.Know Your PurposeTo begin, know the end. Startingyour presentation journey is like startinga road trip.You have to know where youwant to end up before you can decidehow to get there. If you are travelingfrom Atlanta to Miami, you’ll take a fardifferent route than if your final destinationis Boise, Idaho.Every time you speak, it is imperativethat you know exactly what you want toaccomplish—where you want to endup—and clearly articulate that from theoutset. You should always be able tostate in one concise sentence: “My purposein speaking is _____________.”Decide on ContentBrainstorm for ideas on what toinclude in your presentation. For now,don’t censor yourself. Capture the ideasin writing, because brilliant insightstend to evaporate into the atmosphere,and can be infuriatingly difficult to recallwhen you’re under a deadline.To determine what to include in thefinal presentation, decide on your “mustbe made” points. Specifically what doesyour audience need to know at the endof your presentation?OrganizeNow organize your “must be made”points in a way that makes it easy forthe audience to follow along. There aremany ways to logically organize a pre-sentation. Here are a couple:● Problem and Solution: Present theproblem, then follow up with asolution.● Number and Group Points: Keepyour listeners focused by telling themhow many points you will be making.Create a roadmap, just like youwould for your road trip from Atlanta toMiami. It is imperative that the openingsection of your presentation providesyour listeners with a clear understandingof what they should expect duringthe presentation journey. Outline it foryour listeners.Open with a HookDavid J. Dempsey, JD is the president and CEO of Neon Zebra, an Atlantabasedpresentation skills consulting and coaching company that empowersbusiness executives and lawyers around the globe to truly stand out and beheard whenever they speak. He is the author of two critically acclaimed presentationskills books, Better to BEST: How to Speak for Extraordinary Results .. . Every Time! (Miranda Publishing, 2006), and Legally Speaking: 40 PowerfulPresentation Principles Lawyers Need to Know (Kaplan Publishing, 2009). Formore information on David J. Dempsey and Neon Zebra, go to www.neonzebra.com,or email David at davidd@neon-zebra.com.Give your audience a reason to listenas soon as you begin.You have only secondsto prove yourself worthy of yourlisteners’ attention. There is no substitutefor a dynamic, well-written openingthat has been practiced and polished toperfection. Here are two proven openings:A Shocking Statement: An arrestingor intriguing statement that relates30 JULY 2009/THE DELTASIG OF DELTA SIGMA PI

to your topic will snap the audiencemembers to attention.A Question: Ask a question andpause as if you genuinely want the audiencemembers to ponder it, and you willimmediately engage your listeners.Deliver the DetailsTo make your presentation powerfuland engaging, flesh it out by using toolslike quotations and brief stories. Makeyour stories and examples rich with specificdetails. Give your audience everyreason to stay connected with yourmessage.Close with a BangHow important is the closing?Crucial, because most audiences willremember what you said first in thespeech, followed by what you said last,and, if you are really lucky, they mightrecall something that you sandwiched inthe middle. That’s why bringing everypart of your presentation to life with richand colorful details is so important.Here are some ideas for compellingclosings:A Challenge: If you want audiencemembers to take action, you have toask.The closing is the time to ask.Emphasizing an Earlier Point:Conclude by answering a question youasked earlier in the presentation, or byrepeating a quotation, statement, orobservation.Know exactly what you will say, andsay it with absolute confidence. Yourclosing is your final opportunity to makea lasting impression with your audience,so capitalize on it.PracticeSpeaking is a learned skill, and aswith any learned skill (tennis, hopscotch,tiddlywinks), the truly dramaticimprovements result from practice. Allthese tips will help you to look andsound brilliant whenever you speak—ifyou practice them. There is no substitutefor preparation.Today’s economy is challenging.Business leaders cannot take for granted“Know exactly what you will say, and say it with absolute confidence.”any detail. The advantages gained bycultivating speaking excellence—everyday, every presentation, every time—farsurpass the extra work it entails. Leaderswho can motivate and persuade withpower, passion, and conviction, will distinguishthemselves in a crowded marketplace.And that kind of competitiveadvantage will propel anyone to thefront of the thundering herd ofmediocre speakers—in bad times andgood! ▲JULY 2009/THE DELTASIG OF DELTA SIGMA PI 31

Delta Sigma Pi Leadership FoundationThe Great Act of GivingPeople who support charitable organizationsrarely give just for the sake of giving—outof the blue and with no prompting.They give because they believe. Andthey give because they are asked.Your belief could be in a person, so youearmark your gift to keep the memory ofthat individual alive. Or, you may believein giving back to a charitable organizationsuch as the Delta Sigma Pi LeadershipFoundation—a return of a kindness youhave received.If believing is the basis for giving,being asked often prompts the gift. Infact, studies show this is the main reasonpeople donate money or other assets.Best Ways to GiveIf someone asks you to support one ofyour beliefs with a gift, the first thing youneed to do is determine the best way togive. There are multiple options—somesimple, some complex, with the majorityoffering tax benefits.A bequest made through your will isone of the ways to support the DeltaSigma Pi Leadership Foundation withoutgiving up resources you may have todepend on. Charitable bequests qualifyfor unlimited deductions from federalestate taxes.Donating appreciated assets nowwhile you are living allows you to avoidestate and capital gains taxes, as well asreceive an income tax deduction if youitemize. Life income arrangements let yougive now instead of later, while providingtax breaks and lifetime income.A gift such as this would qualify youfor Living Legacy Society membership.Gifts of cash, stocks, bonds or other securitiesnow are gratefully accepted andwould qualify you for a variety of annualand lifetime giving levels, including the10K Club.

After a period of closure since 1995, a colony was formedin April 2007 with support from Assistant Dean BrianRothschild to reactivate the chapter which culminated withceremonies on March 28. Two faculty members joined 44 studentsin the initiation ceremonies and became the reactivationfounders. Several Deltasigs were already among the faculty.Kappa Rho Chapter initiated 284 students and faculty membersbetween 1982 and 1995.The initiation was led by Northeastern PVP Onuka Ibe andEastern RVP Tom Calloway, assisted by student members fromNew York, St. Peter’s, and area alumni officers. Following theinitiation, a reactivation banquet was held at Villa UmbertoBanquet Hall with Brother Calloway serving as Master ofCeremonies.

Central OfficeRenovationReviewBam! Bam!BOOOOM!!!Things arechanging forDelta Sigma Piin Oxford!New water, gas, power, phone and internet linesinto the building will all be underground.The nature of the brick and plaster constructionin the ’50s forced any “new” wiring and pipes tobe hung from the back of the building. All thatwill now be protected and out of sight.The long-awaited Central Officerenovation efforts are underway.The Architectural Group and CR& R construction, along with many subcontractorsand the full cooperation ofDeltasig staffers, have united to bringour facilities into the modern era. Sincethe main building was constructed inthe mid-1950s, there is a long way to gotoward “modern”in some areas!The primary impetus for this projectwas to provide accessibility to members,guests, vendors and others throughaddition of ramps, an elevator andnew/remodeled restrooms. Investigationinto those areas and costs led yourBoard of Directors to examine furtheropportunities for enhancement of thebuilding. The resulting discussions ledto the following, and other, plannedimprovements:● An enclosed and temperature regulated“server room”to house our computerequipment is being created.“Wiremanagement” and controlling servernoise and heat have been an issue as wehave moved into the internet era.(continued on page 38)JULY 2009/THE DELTASIG OF DELTA SIGMA PI 37

ABOVE: The hedge along Campus Avenue, which has suffered in recent years, was removed to allow for a low masonrywall and iron fence. BELOW: Two men and a Bobcat cleared the hedge and rear honeysuckle bushes in a half day.The old basement kitchen area wasremoved to make way for the elevatorentrance. Challenges with handling deliveryof heavy printed materials, regalia trunksand supplies will be tremendously aidedby the improvements.Correcting a long term drainage, waterpooling and ice problem is a significantpart of the project. This piping and catchbasin are on the north, looking west.● Multiple data (and phone) outletswill be installed in most rooms andoffices including the renovated “Boardroom”where volunteer and staff training(and vendor presentations) takes place.All computer wiring will be upgraded to“Cat 6.”● Basement areas will be insulatedand sport new wall and ceilingfinishes—allowing wiring and pipes tobe “covered”for the first time. This significantimprovement moves us from “1950sbasement”to “2010 office”quality.● New heating and air conditioningunits will be added in the attic to allowfor more efficient distribution and comfort.● Drainage of runoff water will bebetter routed and contained to curtail along term problem of parking lot “pooling”anddangerous ice.● Some offices and hallways will berevamped to allow for better interactionand “flow”of guests and workers.● Adjustable, movable, strong supplyroom shelving has been purchasedto better utilize available space andallow for future flexibility.● Additional display areas and cabinetrywill be installed to enhancearchiving. We have added a lot of historysince 1956!● A new courtyard and landscapingwill be added featuring engraved bricksin honor and recognition of brothersand friends (see back cover). Over time,we hope that all chapters and manymore brothers will join in this effort topurchase bricks. Since the Central Officeis owned by the Fraternity and not theLeadership Foundation, purchasing abrick does not provide an income taxdeduction; thus, these supportive purchasesare all the more meaningful andappreciated!● An attractive low masonry walland fence along Campus Avenue willreplace existing hedges. This will separateus from Miami students on….“latenights strolls” (from the bars) and willalso proudly set Delta Sigma Pi apart,invoking the proper image of our 100years of success.38 JULY 2009/THE DELTASIG OF DELTA SIGMA PI

On June 4 a cementtruck pulled up to pourconcrete into forms forthe new additionfoundation behindthe Central Office.Old, very worn concrete steps were removed onthe west and north. The west set (here) will bereplaced; the north is where the elevator additionwill be added.At the back of the office, looking west, workers smooth the top of thecement in the forms. Photos of the renovation are added frequently,visit www.dspnet.org to check out the continuing progress!Once the steps are loosened by workmen, heavyequipment does the heavy lifting.This project is the culmination ofyears of fraternal success andprogress—based on the hard work andinput of countless brothers.
