Our Brothers at the San Jose State Chaptersuffered a devastating loss on January 7 whenthe chapter house burned. Fortunately, no onewas injured in the fire as many of the men hadreturned to their parents’ homes since this wasduring winter break.

The fire, determined to be accidental inorigin, spread quickly through the structure destroying

personal possessions and historical items as well as the school “home” to many menknown for their philanthropic efforts. Smoke and water damage also took a toll on furnishings, clothing, books, etc.

The University initially provided free housing to all the displaced men until January 25. The University then was able to offer thebrothers reduced rent prices in an off-campus housing facility for upper division students until DU was able to find an adequatefacility into which to move.

At the time, Beta Theta Pi was in the process of getting their final approval from the city to move into their new house, thusmaking a house available for DU to occupy starting February 16. That house is at 282 S. 10th Street in San Jose, and ironically it isthe house DU occupied from 1982-95. The owner of the house is the widow of a DU alumnus who was very involved in our alumnichapter and is the namesake for one of SJSU DU’s endowed scholarships (Taffy Sceva, Lehigh ‘48).

The temporary house on 10th Street is able to house only 12 men, so those not living in the facility have rented apartments,decided to stay in the upper division student house (at the reduced rate) or moved into the dorms. All said and done, everyone is justhappy that starting February 16 DU has a chapter house.

As for the reconstruction of the DU house, the alumni have stated that they would like to see the house rebuilt and livable bySeptember 1. The construction manager who will be running the project said that is a very optimistic date and that depending onweather and any issues with permits, it could slide a month or two longer.

Our Brothers can certainly use our help. Rodney Blaco at 408-298-1922 has been coordinating needs and donations for thechapter overall and individuals.

On Saturday, January 29, over 40 alumnimembers from the San Jose Chapter gatheredfor a fundraiser to benefit the undergraduates.

A vast array of guests were in attendancespanning the chapter’s long history, includingalumni from the late 1940s through recentgraduates in 2000. The event, held at TresGringos in downtown San Jose was organizedby Scott Emmert ’97, Bob Pedersen ’97, andRodney Blaco, Cal Poly ’96/San Jose ’05, inan effort to raise funds for brothers who weremost affected by the accidental fire.

In addition to the alumni who attendedthe event, dozens of others supported theeffort through financial donations, all ofwhich will go directly to the fire victims.The organizers are happy to report that theevent raised nearly $8,000, more than doublethe amount for which they had hoped.

The hall and fire door show the ravages and strength of the fire

that destroyed the San Jose Chapter house on January 7, 2005.

One of the strengths of Delta Upsilon Fraternity is the highcaliber educational conferences made available to theundergraduate membership. The 2005 Winter EducationalConference ranked at the top according to evaluations from thechapter presidents and membership recruitment chairmen inattendance.

The schedule was packedwith joint sessions and separatesessions for the presidents andVPs-recruitment. Saturday nightsaw a special treat for thechapter presidents as theyvisited the NCAA Hall ofChampions for dinner and aspecial program. Dr. Will S.Keim, Pacific ’75, was thespeaker of the evening and, asalways, had the rapt attention ofthe Brothers.

The VPs-recruitment had an unexpectedchallenge as they joined the Recruit or Diepresentation by Campuspeak at theRecruitment Boot Camp.

With the intensity of the sessions, theattendees left Indianapolis with themotivation and the skills to make the springsemester a notable one for their chapters.

Over 70 undergraduate chapter presidentsattended the Presidents Academy and 78men participated in the Recruitment BootCamp. Province Governors, members ofthe Board of Directors, Fraternity staff,and special faculty all helped to facilitatethe conference. Mal Branch, Wisconsin’69, an alumni director on the Fraternity’sInternational Board, gave the keynotespeech at the opening banquet Fridaynight. Tom Durein, Oregon State ’92, amember of the Educational Foundation’sBoard of Trustees served as emceethroughout the conference.

The Fraternity wishes to acknowledge the selfless service ofthese men, the support of the Educational Foundation, andexpress gratitude to the donors to the DU Foundation that makethese conferences possible.

We have included comments by some of the undergraduates inattendance.

“The recruitment event was a great way to talkwith other chapters just like mine and see that my chapterwasn’t the only chapter having recruiting problems.Also I want

to give a shout out to group 4,and our leader the fearlessTodd.We all became bestfriends.” – Chris Irwin, Arlington’07

“The 2005 WEC was agreat experience and anawesome way to meet DUsfrom all over the country.” – Rob vanderBorg, Florida StateInterest Group ’08

knowledge and leadership advice that Iam now putting to use. I liked theschedule that was tailored to presidentsbecause it helped me more.” – SteveDripps, Georgia Tech ’06

“It was a lot of work but wellworth it!” – Darren Beram, Iona ’07

“Conferences like WEC and LIenable us to interact with total strangersfrom all over the United States andCanada, and have strong connections withthem instantaneously....That’sBrotherhood.” – Mark Grabowski, Iona ’07

“The Winter Educational Conferencewas a great chance for me to learn how torun my chapter more efficiently andeffectively. I met a lot of great guys fromother chapters and learned a lot of neat andinteresting ideas for things I can do this year.It was a great time.” – Ryan Birdsell,Manitoba ’06

“The Winter Educational Conferencewas a great learning experience. I think that

the International Fraternity put on a great conference and I’mproud to be the president of the Nebraska Chapter of such agreat fraternity.” – A. J. Petersen, Nebraska ’06

“Old friends, and newfriends, we’re all Brothers tillthe end. Coming to aconference like this brings uscloser together, and fulfills ourcreed: BUILDING BETTER MEN.It was good to see my friendsagain at yet another conference.But, we were all saddened by thenews of the San Jose State housefire. Our condolences and

prayers are with the men of thatchapter.”

Glen Wegel, Florida ’05



“The hard work and dedication that everyone putinto this made me proud to be a DU.” – Bill Line, North Dakota’07

“The conference was a great learning experience fora young new president such as myself. It was a greatopportunity to collaborate with the presidents fromother chapters. It helped me to bringback many new positive suggestionsand ideas to my own chapter.” – ChrisCarter, Ohio ’06

“The Winter EducationalConference was an inspiration to all ofour brothers at the Ohio Chapter.Wehave implemented what we havelearned and have already seen somesuccess.The chapter is runningdifferently and better than ever.” – MattRoberson, Ohio ’06

“Spending the weekend with such an enjoyable groupof brothers served to strengthen my love for Delta Upsilonbeyond what I believed was possible.” – Matt Koizim,Pennsylvania ’07

do not have a large pledge class for the spring semester.However, I left Indianapolis feeling that I had gained the properskills to turn rush around and have a successful semester.” –Paul Gau, Rochester ’06

“The conference was excellent. Itseemed that each chapter had so muchto say that I could relate to and fromwhich I could draw.The conferenceclearly has enhanced my understandingof what a great president should be.“ –Brian W. Rowe, Tufts ’07

“Presidents Academy at WECwas like a personal instruction manual

for being president of a chapter. Being able to haveconversations with presidents and recruitment chairmen ofother chapters was invaluable.” – Nick Walker, Washington ’06

“Attending the Winter Educational Conference reallyhelped to show us what resources DU has to offer. I neverreally realized what DU the Fraternity was, how it worked orwhat opportunities it could present to me. Now I have a goodsense of the Fraternity as a whole, not just the Four FoundingPrinciples.The reasons why it works are the people behind it,including the strength and generosity of the alumni. I lookforward to the Leadership Institute this summer and I plan tobring more young DUs so they too can understand what I nowdo.” – Chris Hoffmann, Wisconsin ’07

Conference is an excellent way

to remind us that Delta

Upsilon is a brotherhood that

extends past our own chapter,

into other states and other

countries. This is something

that we tend to forget on a day

something brought to our

attention all too often, even
