Over the past ninety-three years Delta Sigma Phi at the University of Texas
has continued to evolve and change. We all have experiences and memories
within the fraternity that will last a lifetime. Today Delta Sigma Phi is at
a crucial point in establishing itself as an organizational leader on
campuses both nationwide and at the University of Texas.

The key to the success of Delta Sigma Phi is recruiting high quality men.
Steps have already been taken by the Alumni Control Board and the
undergraduate chapter to recruit a better man. Recently, the ACB has raised
semester scholarships for the highest GPA for an active and pledge to $250.
Also with the mortgage on the house paid for, the ACB now also provides free
semester rent in the house for double occupancy to any member that made a 3.5
GPA or better the previous semester. This next fall we will have a full
house with four inhouse brothers qualifying for free rent.

During our time as undergraduates we lived the Eta Experience. Our
friendships and memories were fueled by the statement "You join Delta Sigma
Phi for life." All of us can reflect, as I have in my chapter advisor report
in the soon to be released newsletter, about the importance that the
fraternity has had on our lives. However, the extending network of
brotherhood should not end when we graduate from school. In an effort to
recruit the highest quality men it is necessary to provide an established
alumni base that is willing to work with members not only while they are in
school but also once they become alumni themselves.

I along with many of you have in the past become disenchanted with the
undergraduates for one reason or another. I certainly do not approve of the
undergraduate actions of old. However, today a good quality group of men
exist. Grades are at the highest they've been since I've become involved
almost 3 years ago. Long gone are the days of active members enrolled at
ACC, St Eds, or not even enrolled at all. Times are definitely changing.

Part of that change includes the current undergraduate chapter and the ACB
proactively contacting Eta alumni to grow this network. With the summer upon
us, the undergraduate members are asking for alumni to help in the recruiting
process. A few of us in Austin, Houston, and Dallas have volunteered to take
undergraduates and rushees to small events: lunch, dinner, sporting events,
etc. I invite all alumni to help the undergraduate chapter this summer as
well as in the future. Please contact me by e-mail (MeliaTim@aol.com) or by
phone (512 707-0813), and I will put you and the undergraduates in your area
in touch.
