Improved GPA on Campus

The chapter of Delta Chi here at Cortland is proud to be recognized for having the most improved GPA of all the Greek fraternities here on campus. Striving for the best is a tough road that includes a lot of hard work. Delta Chi encourages its members to do the best that they can in all aspects of their life. Being in college is a privilege that not all have the opportunity to embrace. From the previous semester Delta Chi Cortland decided it was time for a change for the better. By cracking down on course work the overall GPA of the chapter improved from 2.61 to 2.81, which is a very impressive jump for one semester. All brothers should be proud of this improvement as it is a grand example of what hard work can bring to an individual and a group. Todd Malone was the brother with the highest GPA of a 3.88. Everyone should strive to have a GPA of similar proportions to Todd. Recent graduate from SUNY Cortland and Delta Chi Alumni, Matt Meade, found that such hard work should be rewarded. Due to the academic excellence that Todd had showed this past semester, Matt donated a $200 bonus to help Todd financially with Delta Chi. The Cortland chapter of Delta Chi is proud to have such hard working individuals dedicated to school and the brotherhood, and we thank Matt Meade for his generous donation, this is a great example of how hard work pays off and we hope that all of our active brothers and alumni continue to work hard and never forget what you are a part of. Born Proud, Raised Proud!

Recently five brothers from the Cortland chapter, that volunteered to attend the Regional Leadership Conference for the seventh region of Delta Chi, became educated on numerous topics that can help better their chapter. Mike McGovern, Ben Herman, Matt Simons, Matt Clark and Matthew Scheckton, or the FAB FIVE as many call them; all decided it was their responsibility to represent their chapter at this conference. Having two NIB’s (newly initiated brothers) attend this event is a great thing, that the still young, and ambitious chapter should be appreciative of, however the dedication of the elder brothers should also be seen as great. During the course of a weekend these brothers were taught many values and ways to better their chapter in some aspects and also start certain aspects in a new direction. The FAB FIVE had a good time meeting many brothers from chapters across the region and were fortunate enough to sit down with them, not just the conductors of the conference, and learn from the successful chapters they run are doing. It was not just an eye opener at times but a giving experience also. The FAB FIVE gave the other brothers thoughts on how to further their chapters. They looked at it not just from the local level but from the national level. It can be hard for some to do that until attending such a conference, which in the future hopefully all brothers will have the chance to do. It was overall a great experience that opened eyes and pushed individuals into positions to be great leaders while also making great leaders, even better ones.

Brotherhood Ski Trip

Each semester the Delta Chi Cortland Chapter holds brotherhood events to get to know each other and the associate members better.  On February 15, 2011 some of the brothers of the Delta Chi Cortland Chapter held a brotherhood event at a nearby ski resort. This was an awesome way for the brothers to bond and become closer as a chapter.

Mu Class Pinning
