LETTER
FROM THE EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT
“Faithful friends are a sturdy shelter; whoever finds one finds a
treasure.” — From the Book of Sirach
Funerals, as difficult as they
may be, are nevertheless uplifting
to the human spirit.
In a recent 24-hour period I
attended funerals for people who,
in the hearts of their sorrowed
families and friends, were taken
far too early – a 22-year-old undergraduate Delt and the 45year-old wife of a dear Delt friend
of more than 25 years. The student passed away suddenly; the
mother of four was taken after a
painful 10-month battle with
colon cancer.
Both funerals were well-attended
and included numerous

Delts. More than 30 undergradu(Purdue University, 1975)
ates drove three hours from their
Executive Vice President
campus at mid-week to attend
the funeral of their brother. Observing them comfort his family and each
other was gratifying and truly spoke of words
Delts know well: “goodness of heart . . . generosity . . . thoughtfulness of others.”
As with Delt Ritual, the various rituals of
our life provide meaning. Attending funerals
and comforting the afflicted is a learned behavior. Funerals, while never easy, also serve
to jar us from our daily routines. Often, they
cause us to take stock of our own lives. During the celebration of Daniel Bauder’s life, the
priest shared in his homily, “This is an alarm
clock, a wake-up call to what is most important in our life . . . our family, our friends, living life joyfully.”

At the funeral of Trish Dowell, her husband, Tony Dowell, spoke eloquently about
their 24 years together. Their love affair
started late in their college years at a Delt
party with her sorority. Those listening to the
remembrance included several men who
came of age in the Delt chapter when Tony
was a two-term president. They were at the
same party, and they came to the wedding
which followed just a year later. Now at middle age, they traveled from across the Midwest to be with their friend again. One of the
men interrupted his family’s spring break
trip, flying on short notice from Florida to Indiana, to attend. Bonds made as young men
carry forward through life.
The widower’s remarks came after his
children, ages 13 to 19, gave their own
poignant comments about their mother, a vibrant woman who fought mightily despite a
grim diagnosis. Tony concluded his remarks
by reassuring their children in a most public
way. “There’s a reason we have two eyes,” he
said. “If one gets poked out, you can still see.
I will be that eye.”
As with that father whose life has
changed forever, we have the opportunity to
depend on each other as brothers to celebrate successes and to help us navigate life’s
challenges. That extends far beyond our time
in college together. Having been to many
Delt funerals, from students to national presidents, it’s clear we treasure and cling to
these friendships. Delta Tau Delta truly
serves as an abiding influence in our lives.
Brotherhood sustains us.

2012 Division Confere
Celebrate Fraternity a
The 2012 Delta Tau Delta Division Conference Season concluded
in late February after months of preparation and weeks of
celebration by Delts from across the country.
A special thank you to all
of the undergraduates,
alumni, volunteers and
staff that helped make
the 2012 Division
Conference season one
of the best yet! Mark
your calendars for the
2013 season.
This year’s division conferences saw a record number of undergraduates, alumni and volunteers, more than 1,200 total, come
together in the name of brotherhood to learn the values associated with being a Delt while emphasizing the conference’s theme,
The Inspiration of Maturity.

Josh Schneider named Western
Plains Division President
A highlight during the Western Plains
Division Conference included the swearing in of new Western Plains Division
President Josh Schneider (Texas State
University, 1998) by International President Alan Brackett after former division
president Bob Marwill (University of
Texas, 1959) stepped down from his position to focus on his role as Karnea local
committee chairman. Schneider will
serve as division president through the
February 2013 term.
In addition to the many officer positions he held as an undergraduate at Zeta
Delta, Schneider has served as a chapter
advisor at Theta Delta Chapter at Baylor
University as well as a division vice president and a house corporation
president.
New Look to Conferences
2012
At a Glance
p The Northern Division
Conference, held in
Indianapolis, Ind.,
had 325 undergraduates and 50 alumni in
attendance.
The division conference curriculum
had a makeover this year. The redesign
included three areas: developing tracks
for certain officers and leadership skillbuilding, rewriting the breakout sessions,
and inviting more campus-based student
affairs professionals to participate in the
conferences as facilitators. The feedback
has been very positive and the Fraternity
staff is already working on ways the conferences can be further enhanced next
year.
Every chapter leader needs training
to be successful in his position. The
question is – how should each officer be
trained? We posed that question to
students and alumni and, based on their
feedback, it was clear that five officers
needed face-to-face training. Those positions were president, treasurer, recruitment, new member educator and Guide.
p The Eastern Division
Conference, held in
Hershey, Pa., had
128 undergraduates
and 34 alumni in
attendance.
p The Western Plains
Division Conference,
held in Lincoln, Neb.,
had 232 undergraduates and 25 alumni in
attendance.
p The Southern Division
Conference, held in
Knoxville, Tenn., had
303 undergraduates
and 36 alumni in
attendance.
p The Western Pacific
Division Conference,
held in Palm Springs,
Calif., had 118 undergraduates and 22
alumni in attendance.
FRATERNITY HEADLINES
When we looked at division conference
attendance from the past three years, we
realized these officers were not always
represented and educational programming was not always offered for that position. So the decision was made in June
2011 to change the format from all breakout sessions to half breakout session and
half track programming for the five officers mentioned above, plus a leadership
track.
In addition to developing the tracks,
the breakout sessions were all rewritten
by alumni and volunteers. The breakout
sessions covered topics
from strategic planning
to civic engagement.
Each conference also
offered sessions
facilitated by local
experts on resume writing, interview skills, etiquette, proper dress
and financial planning.
Top: Men at the Western Pacific Division Conference take a few minutes to discuss best practices
during a break in speakers.

the Eastern Division Conference.
Right: Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard (Indiana
University, 1976) joined his brothers of the Northern Division Conference and welcomed them to the
city on opening night.
The last change was the facilitation of
the tracks. For the past several years, the
Fraternity has invited campus professionals and interfraternal colleagues to the
Presidents and Advisors Retreat and
Bethany Leadership Academy. At those
events, we have had great success with
strong and seasoned facilitators as they
brought energy, perspective and partnerships that were valuable for the students
and the Fraternity. At the 2012 Division
Conferences, all of the tracks, except the
Guide track, were facilitated by a Delt and
a non-Delt.
Undergraduate members continue to
tell us they want opportunities to learn
from each other, more interactive learning and less lectures. The Fraternity staff
and volunteers continue to take that
feedback and cutting-edge education
techniques to make division conferences
relevant and valuable experiences for
undergraduates.
Fraternity Honors Peterson, Leland
Steven W. Leland, University of Southern
California 1985, was honored with the Fraternity’s Bridgebuilder Award Feb. 25 during the
Western Pacific Conference. He was cited for
his steadfast work as a long-time house corporation officer at UCLA.
A former Delt chapter leadership consultant, Leland has served as house corporation treasurer at UCLA since 1999 when the
Delta Iota Chapter was inactive. When the
Fraternity returned to UCLA in 2002, his
board leadership in maintaining a superior
property has provided the new chapter a
strong housing position in re-establishing the
Delt campus presence.
Professionally, Leland is a marketing director for Accenture in Los Angeles.
The John W. Nichols Bridge Builder
Award was established by the Arch Chapter in
2004 to recognize and honor those faithful
local volunteers whose unselfish service as
house corporation personnel provides not
only a safe Shelter for today’s student, but a
valuable link from one Delt generation to the
next.
The criteria for the John W. Nichols
Bridge Builder Award is to recognize significant alumni involvement over three or more
years rendering outstanding service to the establishment, development, or enhancement
of a house corporation. The number of
awards is limited to 10 per year.
Bruce Peterson, University of WisconsinMilwaukee, 1976, was cited into the
Above: Past Northern Division President Bruce Peterson was presented
with a citation into the Distinguished
Service Chapter.
Distinguished Service Chapter Jan. 28 in Indianapolis during the Northern Division Conference.
Peterson is the immediate past president
of the Northern Division. He has been an active Delt volunteer throughout his alumni life
and continues as advisor for the Beta Gamma
Chapter at the University of Wisconsin, a role
he has served since 2003. Professionally, Peterson is the chief information officer at Uline
Shipping Supplies in suburban Chicago.
The Distinguished Service Chapter
began in 1930 as the Court of Honor. Men
who have been Delt alumni for more than 20
years and who have contributed significantly
to the Fraternity and served Delta Tau Delta
beyond their own chapter are eligible for
membership.
Brother Peterson is the 422nd recipient
of the DSC. Of those men, only 101 are still
living. His citation reads as follows:
“For five decades this son of Wisconsin
has faithfully shared his talents with the Delts
of his home state, division and the Fraternity
at large.
Serving in a variety of roles -- chapter advisor, division vice president, house corporation officer and as president of the Northern
Division from 2007 to 2011 -- Bruce has offered practical, everyday service along with
wisdom both sensible and priceless.
In doing so, he has embodied our ideal
of living a selfless and noble life.”
