Spring is here, and I noticed the dogwoods blooming whileI was out turkey hunting recently. They reminded me of

my college days at the University of Alabama, the Mansionon the Hill, and when the dogwoods were blooming in thefront yard. For some alumni, those were best four years oftheir life—maybe the best six or more for a few!

You all know what I am talking about because you are PsiDKEs. We all remember our time at the DKE house. So when“Mama” called everybody stepped up. The capital campaignwas one of the most successful in the nation with $4.09 mil-lion raised and 56% of alumni contributing! Many thanks toall who contributed their time and donations toward the proj-ect as it has officially ended.

I hope everyone has had a chance to see the new ChapterHouse at its new location, overlooking the Walk ofChampions at Bryant-Denny Stadium. It is an awesome facil-ity for the undergraduates with state-of-the-art improvementsand a great place for the alumni to gather and reminisce aboutour times at the University and the DKE house. The newChapter House will also be a great recruiting tool to attractnew pledge members.

This campaign could not have been successful without thehelp of the many alumni who came on board from the start. Iwould like to thank Zeb Hargett ’77, my co-chairman; JohnMcNiel ’79, who orchestrated the building project from dayone; Angus ’64 and David Cooper ’67 for all of their helpand support; Holmes and Holmes Architects, and BruceMcAlpin ’81 for interior design. Also thanks to Larry

Howell ’92 for keeping the books; Black Chaffe ’83 forcompiling all of the DKE alumni data; Alex Fleming ’09 forbeing our DKE undergraduate building supervisor; the DKEundergraduates for back-to-back Lion’s Trophies; and lastbut not least, John Ziegelmeyer and Pennington andCompany who directed us through this very successful capi-tal campaign process.

Again, we cannot thank our donors enough for your supportof the project. We know many of you took advantage of thefive-year pledge period, and we hope you will make thosepayments until your pledge is complete. Feel free to pay offany part of your pledge in advance if you’d like!

It was an honor and a pleasure to serve as a co-chairman onthis campaign. I hope you can come see what we’ve allaccomplished, the new DKE house.

As for our next steps, we will continue sending you our Sighsof Psi newsletters twice a year. As well, we will work onenhancing our alumni relations programs, events, and othercommunication with you. To fund these programs, we will belaunching an annual campaign this summer that we hope youwill continue to support as these are valuable programs to ourBrotherhood.

In the bonds,Allen C. Phillips ’81Campaign Co-Chairman

and recruitment for the Psi Chapter of DKE.

Psi First in Grade Improvement Fall SemesterWe are proud to report that during the fall

Thank You, Volunteers

We would like to thank the following alumni for their tireless effortsthroughout the campaign to see the house project through to comple-

tion, whether it was making phone calls to alumni for pledges, making sure theconstruction was on schedule and on budget, or whatever the case may havebeen. As well, we thank all of our class leaders for their hard work. We have atop-notch facility that will benefit our DKE Chapter for many years to come.

WHY I GAVEAllen Yeilding ’78 Views DKE as

Invaluable to College Career

Icontributed to the develop-ment of the new house for

several reasons. I feel DKE addsan invaluable asset to the fouryears of college at the Universityof Alabama—your DKE experi-ence will be an asset for the restof your life, and there is a greatreturn from the investment to thealumni and state.

DKE not only provides activeswith a place to socialize, it givesthem opportunity to learn theattributes of a good person, suchas honesty, dependability, trust, reliability, and humility. DKEmen learn how to deal with stress and adversity, but not alone.The brothers have the opportunity to help each other with aca-demics and begin developing invaluable contacts, both amongstpeers and with alumni. Later in life, DKE provides a place toreturn for an enjoyable weekend with generations of Psi brothers.

I am a hematologist/oncologist in Birmingham. My wife, Cindy,and I have four children: Christopher, a graduate of UA and UALaw School, is an attorney. He and his wife, Elizabeth, havegiven us our first two grandchildren, Christopher Jr., andEvelyn. Our second son, Frank Allen, a former UA baseballplayer, works with AXA at UA. Our daughter, Vivian (a Kappa),is a pre-medicine senior at UA and wants to be a surgical oncol-ogist. Allen Jr. is a high school senior heading to UA in thefall—the last DKE hopeful. My father, Frank A. Yeilding ’53,was a DKE. If Allen Jr. joins, we will represent three proud gen-erations of DKE men.

SinceJanuary, we have participated in major events, such asRelay for Life, and hosted our annual Easter egg huntfor the children of Hannah Home. The Easter EggHunt benefits mothers and children from abused fami-lies in Tuscaloosa. This event spawned from our annu-al Hannah Home Christmas party. We are busy plan-ning for our next philanthropy project, a cancerresearch fundraising fair at Water Oaks Farm outsideof Tuscaloosa. As a reward for our continued campusleadership in philanthropy service, the Psi Chapter waspresented the award for most canned food donated tothe Beat Auburn Beat Hunger Food Drive. This is adistinguished campus renowned award, and we areproud to say that we have won it three years in a row.
