Hello,

My name is Christopher Polack and I am the Historian of the Georgia Tech Chapter of the Delta Chi Fraternity. This past weekend marked the end of Homecoming 2015, and we are proud to announce that we achieved First Place in the IFC Fraternities category. Our members worked tirelessly throughout the week to represent our Chapter in a variety of competitions and events including Relay Race, Window Display, and Team Buzz, a campus-wide community service event. We started off Saturday morning with the Wreck Parade and watched our fixed body and contraption entries make their way down Fowler Street. Finally, we witnessed an incredible game against the Florida State Seminoles as we pulled of a 22-16 victory. Homecoming 2015 turned out to be an unforgettable week!

In the Bond,
Christopher Polack

Hello,

My name is Ruben Conn, and I am the Homecoming Co-chair for Delta Chi this fall. Homecoming is a cornerstone of Georgia Tech Delta Chi and a competition that we always strive to win. This year we are very excited to invite all of our Alumni to come out to celebrate our Homecoming! You can enjoy some great food and brotherhood. We have a low country broil planned for our tailgate and we will be going over the plans for our new house! These two very exciting things will culminate in the main event, #22 Yellow Jackets taking on the Virginia Cavaliers. If Brotherhood wasn’t enough, I’m sure some (hopefully still) undefeated football from your Alma Mater will entice you to come out and relax with your brothers. The undergraduates, as per usual, will be kicking off festivities at 8am. The alumni program will start about 90 minutes before kickoff. In that time food will be served and we will present on chapter achievements and the new house plans. I hope to see you all there!

In the Bond,

Hello,

My name is Kevin Vinson, and I am the current Brotherhood Chair of the Georgia Tech Chapter of the Delta Chi Fraternity. Two weeks ago, our chapter continued its long standing tradition of having an organized brotherhood week. We started off brotherhood week strong by hosting an event at SkyZone in Roswell, GA, where AMs and Brothers bonded over trampoline dodgeball as well as other fun activities. We continued our week by hosting a sports day for Brothers and AMs, and later supported our brothers at a pivotal intramural flag-football game. Tuesday night, members gathered to play poker, smoke cigars, and bond with each other in the courtyard between our two houses.

We ended our week of brotherhood by holding a Brotherhood Retreat at Hard Labor Creek State Park, in Rutledge, GA. Members who attended spent the weekend playing board games, swimming, playing soccer, and participated in our Semi-Annual Brotherhood Football game; pitting the brothers against the NIBs and AMs. As per usual, the Brothers came out on top, despite the AMs and NIBs best efforts, winning the game 58-0, keeping their long-standing claim to the Brotherhood Football Trophy. Because of their valiant efforts and determination, Nick Chang and Tim Lee were named Co-MVPs.

Brotherhood Retreat provides members with an isolated atmosphere to bond with their brothers and connect on a deeper level. It also provides the chapter a chance to reflect on the state of the chapter, create an updated vision for the chapter, and set goals for the upcoming semester. This retreat featured an excellent goal setting session, led by our G, David MacPherson, as well as an amazing dinner cooked by our A, Tyler McCrary. Shout-out to those two guys for helping to make this Brotherhood Retreat a success.

I think I speak for all of our members when saying, it’s weekends like this that truly make me Damn Proud to be a Delta Chi.

This past week Tyler McCrary and myself had the pleasure of serving as Georgia Tech chapter delegates to the 59th International Convention of the Delta Chi Fraternity in Scottsdale, Arizona. It was an incredible four days full of meeting brothers from around the country (and world), meetings, workshops, elections, and debates on Delta Chi Law.

The Georgia Tech chapter was honored with several awards at the convention.

• Excellence in: Alumni Relations, Involvement, Manpower, Scholarship
• Achievement in: Advising and Governance, Financial Management, Housing, Member Education
• Community Impact Award
• Award of Excellence Red Division
• Outstanding Chapter Advisor: Alumnus Taylor Owens
• Marge Lee Outstanding "C": Brother Jordan Avery

In addition to the local awards, Delta Chi International honored Brothers Rick Welts (Washington '75) and Tim Crown (Kansas '86) with the Delta Chi of the Year awards for 2013 and 2014, respectively. We are also proud to recognize Brother Russ Driscoll (Florida '57) as this year's Convention Honoree for his lifetime of service to the Fraternity.

Lastly, we are proud to report the adoption of a resolution by the Delta Chi Fraternity that we stand against any and all forms of sexual harassment, violence, or assault. Delta Chi is the first international fraternity to adopt such a resolution, the Georgia Tech chapter is proud to support this historic measure.

We hope to see you all in 2016 at the 60th Convention in Louisville, Kentucky!

This past weekend, our chapter continued our tradition of holding brotherhood retreat in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, the location of our chapter's first retreat. Brothers and AMs who made the journey up to the cabin spent the weekend bonding over board games, ping pong, and the semiannual brotherhood football game. Despite the best efforts of the AMs and NIBs (shoutout to MVP Trent Keatley), the brothers kept their unbroken claim over the brotherhood football trophy.

As always, brotherhood retreat provided an opportunity for the members of our chapter to connect with each other on a deeper level and to reflect on and steer the direction of the chapter for the coming semester through an excellent goal setting session run by our G, Sid Sinha. Our brotherhood chair, Connor Zendt, also deserves a shoutout for running an overall successful and fun retreat.

On Saturday, October 26th, a large group of brothers and AM's participated in TEAMBuzz, a campus-wide community service event at various locations around Atlanta. There were also many brothers serving on the TEAMBuzz Executive Committee. Projects included park cleanups, Salvation Army Center landscaping, and an Autism Center cleanup. The event was a huge success and gave us crucial homecoming points on our way to another homecoming victory!
