University & IFC Imposed RestrictionsUniversities and local IFCs seem to

be creating more and varied restriction son fraternity recruitment. Among therestrictions we see are: ( I) not allowingfreshmen to associate with fraternitiesuntil after the first seme ster or firstacademic year - called "defe rredrush;" (2) restricting the "bid" processto only certai n times of the year; (3)limitin g recruitment activities to "formalrush" periods; (4) requirin g "mandatoryhouse tours" for potential new membersbefore allowin g them to join afraternity; (5) imposing "quotas" on thenumber of men a fraternity can pledgedurin g a year; (6) barrin g a fraternityfrom recruiting as a sanction forviolation of university policy; (7)forcing potential new members toregister for rush or pay a fee; (8) notallowing fraternities to deliver bids topotential new members in person; (9)restricting the number of bids apotential new member can receive; (10)not allowing varsity athlet es to joinfraterniti es; ( I I) not allowin ginformati on about fraternities to bedistributed during certain times of theyear; and, (12) not recognizingfraternities as student groups. Each ofthese restrictions burdens at least oneand in some instances a majority of DUchapters.

alcohol present during any recruitmentactivities. DU has no other limitations.

Over the next two issues of theQuarterly I plan to addre ss thelimitations or barriers to the recruitmentprocess. My hope is to educate ourgeneral membership about the issue andserve as a voice of encourage ment tobring about change in our recruitmentstrategies.

When I was an undergraduateit was called "rush." Todayit' s ca lled "recruitment."

Whatever it's called, it has gottentougher. In the last five years thenumber of men pledging Delta Upsi lonhas decli ned from 1,804 pledges in1992-93, to 1,447 pledges in 1996-97 .While some of that decline may beattr ibutable to fewer DU chapters , evenDU's current chapters are pledgingfewer men. The average number ofmen pledged per chapter declined from16.4 in 1992-93 to 13.2 in 1995-96 .

Seve ral factors have contributed tothis decl ine in pledging: publicperceptions of fraternities; studen tsques tioning the relevance offraternities; more and variedrecruitment restrictions imposed byuniversities and IFCs; and, DUchapters' self-imposed barriers. GoodDU chapters seek to address the publ icpercept ions and student questionsabout fraternities in their recruitmentefforts. The Fraternity also is trying toaddress the more global aspec ts ofthese two concerns. But, therestrictions that universities and IFCsimpose and our chapters ' self-imposedbarriers on recruitment are far moretroubl ing. These are limitations thatwe can and should overcome.

The Delta Upsilon Internation alFraternity imposes very fewrestrictions on chapters ' ability torecruit potential new members. First,recruitment is limited to men who are,or will be at the time of pledging,enrolled at the chapter's hostinstitution . Second, chapters may notuse or serve alcohol or even have

"What we'retrying to do,frankly, isreflect all ofthe worldsour readerslive in."

DU Alumnus Places theDiffusion of Liberal Cultureon Your Doorstep Every "Morning

In a profession popularly derided for itscarping and insensitive practitioners, DavidLawrence, Jr., Florida '63, represents a

forceful rebuttal to those who would criticize anyaspect of contemporary journalism. BrotherLawrence is the publisher of The Miami Herald,

D. Lawrence8 DELTA UPSILON QU,IRTERLI'IJANUARY 199R

arguably oneamong ahandful ofimportant dailynewspapers inthe UnitedStates today.

He is alsochairman ofthe MiamiHeraldPublishingCompany,whichproduces ElNuevo Herald, the largest Spanish languagedaily newspaper in the country. Between thetwo Heralds, Brother Lawrence's papers havea Sunday circulation of 600,000 .

His entire professional life of 35 years hasbeen dedicated to the newspaper business, andthe calling he has had since he was 15 yearsold, "to truly make a difference to betterpeople's lives every single day. You have suchan opportunity [in newspapers] to rightwrongs or to inspire, to educate , to inform . . .it's a marvelous thing to be able to do.

"I loved to read as a child . .. I've alwaysbeen curious and here's a business wherepeople actually pay you to ask questions andlearn things. Really, the great adventure oflife is learning all your life, and I'm in abusiness that makes that particularlypossible ."

To a small extent , Brother Lawrence isconcerned that the rhapsodic description hegives to his origins in the world ofnewspapers will sound corny or trite. He neednot worry -- he could not have reached thezenith of his profession without a fundamentalpassion for journalism's process and product.His talent, incredible energy (he regularlykeeps a 60-hour work week) and focus havebeen reflected in the achievements he hasearned. Upon completion of hisundergraduate studies at the University of

Florida, he was named the "OutstandingJourn alism Graduate." Throughout his career, hehas accumulated a total of eight honorarydoctoral degrees, and among national honors, hasreceived the Ida B. Wells Award for"exemplary leadership in providin gminorities employment opportunities injournalism."

Any contact with Brother Lawrenceprovides you with a clear sense of thegrea t value he attaches to ethnic and racialdiversity in the workplace and in life. Certainlyhis newspapers must reflect and serve theremarkable meltin g pot of Miami 's population,but we imagine his commitment to equality ofopp ortunity would be evident regardless of hisprofession or location. It is no coincidence thatthe majorit y of award s he 's recei ved fromorganizations use terms such as, "lifetimeach ievement in diversity," "national humanrights," and "a major contributor to the cause ofracial diversity."

His personal thoughts on the issues of race andethnicity were part of what attra cted him tomembership in Delta Upsilon. Brother Lawrencerecalls, "DU was an early fraternity to have blackmemb ers. I always admired them [the chapt ers]for doing that. I think it was so wise; so right."

With a personal conviction to prom ote equ alityand diversity, Southeastern Florida provides anoptimal atmosphere for Brother Lawrence. "Theextra thing we have here in Miami, clea rly," heobserves, "is an enormous commitment to Latin

"The wholeworld ischanging andchangingratherdramatically,so we're onlythe preview ofthe future inthe UnitedStates ofAmerica."

America and the Caribb ean -- larger than anynewspaper anywhere. Understandin g LatinAmerica and the Caribbean is very much at thesoul of who we are and what we want to be."

Among exce ptional leaders there is a nearlyinstinctive commitment to principl es and valuesthat serve to guide conduct, decisions, andrelationships with othe rs. His unyieldingcovenant with core values is what is mostimpre ssive about Brother Lawrence. He is anattenti ve, dedicated husband and father who hasj ust celebrated his 34t h wedding anniversary.His five children range in ages from 13 to 33,and he lists his famil y as his No. I passion inlife.

Professionall y, he bristles at the view thatjo urnalism is not guided by values , but by theperpetual effort to sell more newspapers. BrotherLawrence believes tha t such an outlook describes"a lousy way to live. I don't want to be a cynicin anything I do. I truly see evidence everysingle day of people who are helped by thenewspaper.

"We don 't write the lead headl ine to 'sellnewspap ers.' The lead headline in the MiamiHerald this morning was about early childh oodeducation. Now, we 're not going to 'sell' extrapapers out of this; what we' re trying to do,frankly, is reflect all of the worlds our readerslive in."

Brother Lawrence also feels strongly about thevalues among peopl e who work in printjournalism. "The best people I've ever knownwork in the [newspap er] business," he asserts."Not all of them, but I think so many of them arewonderful people of the highest kind of values ."

To those who aspire to a career in journalism,values are at the found ation of the mostimportant advice Broth er Lawrence offers."Make sure your basic values are all there," hecounsels. "A newcom er to the profession oughtto have a commitmen t to 'being fair, getting itright, being specifically accurate.' Curiosi ty as abasic value, compassion .. . is very consistentwith good journalism -- to be thoughtful andsensitive . Be aggressive at the right times. If you

IlEI: rA UPSILON QUARTERLr/JANUARY 199X 9

keep your values relatively straight and simple,they 'll stand you in good stead for everything. "

Values amon g individuals extend to the commoncharacteristics that Brother Lawrence sees in thegreat newspapers of the world. The best ones , hesays, "Are fearlessly honest, willing to spend theresources of staff and space to give people realquality. They are also fair and care about theirown community. They 're aggressive in thepursuit of wrongdoing, but also aggres sivelytrying to write about people and things that workin the community."

Technological advancements continue to giveevery organization the capacity to change andinnovate at mind-numbing speed . For TheMiami Herald, inno vation is linked to itsidentity, and Brother Lawrence is intent onpreserving an atmosphere that is not only open tonew ideas, but encourages them. "There' s a long

10 DEI:rA UPSILON QU,IRTERLI'/JA NUAR Y 1998

tradition of innovationhere [at the MiamiHerald]," he said. "ABusiness Mond aysection started here ;they 're now all over thecountry. A Neighborssection started here . . .that is zoned local newssections. £1 NuevoHerald is a pioneeringventure . People comefrom all over thiscountry to find out howwe do it. Innovation isvery much at the soul ofwhat we do."

International editions ofThe Miami Heraldblanket Latin America,and closer to home ,Brother Lawrence seesthe most promisinggrowth in readership of£1 Nuevo Herald. "Thefastest growin g minoritygroup in the country isHispanic, and by theyear 2007 or so, therewill be more Hispanic

people in this country than African American ,"he said. " So, we [Miami] are simply gettingwith the future earlier than other people . . . Thewhole world is changing and changing ratherdramatically, so we're only the preview of thefuture in the United States of America."

In other areas of newspaper product ion in thefuture , he sees evolution to more precisely meet

"They[fraternities]need to getaway fromthe sensethat drinkingis importantto havingfun."

the needs and reflect the interests of readers."One of the things we're doing," he said, "issomething we call 'Micro-Local.' WhileNeighbors' was a great innovation for 1977,those sections are now going to be much, much,much more finely zoned. Again, so that peoplein my neighborhood and your neighborhood willbe able to know a lot more about their neighbors-- what's going on, kids' scores, honor rolls, etc."

One area of technological capacity that BrotherLawrence does not believe will have asignificant short-term impact is the availability ofnewspapers online. He noted, "We haveapproximately 20 full-time people who put theHerald and the El Nuevo Herald online. Havingsaid that, there's no evidence that people want toread newspapers online generally. What online isparticularly good for is very specialized kinds ofinformation, or semi-instantaneous information.

"I think for a long time to come newspapers onnewsprint are going to be very much a part ofpeople's homes. People like to pick upsomething and touch something and feelsomething and turn the pages and choose whatthey want to read."

With any look ahead comes a natural inclinationto take stock of where one has been. In BrotherLawrence's experience, he attaches significantvalue to his membership in Delta Upsilon. "Thepeople that I was with in DU," he recalls, "werethoughtful, fine, caring human beings whorepresented at least some version of diversity andpluralism, which is what college is supposed tobe about, I think - learning about yourself andother people.

"If you grow up in a family and you're suddenlyliving in a fraternity house, it teaches you aboutliving with a different set of people; how youaccommodate yourself to other people; how youget your own space; how you give some space toother people. That's what the world is about,human relationships: how to build them, how tokeep them, how to deal with very different kindsof people."

While DU has had such a positive impact on thedevelopment and growth of undergraduates for163 years, the greek movement as a whole isheld in low regard by many journalists today.Brother Lawrence has some thoughts on steps all

chapters ought to take to improve their standingin the media. He believes, "They [fraternities]need to get away from the sense that drinking isimportant to having fun. In my experience (and Ihave a glass of wine from time to time, or a beer)drinking has practically nothing to do withhaving any real fun in this world. So, one of thethings I'd do is get that attitude instilled inpeople -- it's just not important to be blitzed.

"The peoplethat I was within DU werethoughtful,fine, caringhuman beingswhorepresented atleast someversion ofdiversity andpluralism,which is whatcollege issupposed to beabout."

"The other thing I would say -- and I thinkfraternities and sororities have made a good dealof progress -- be aggressively open in seekingdifferent kinds of people for members. Collegelife and fraternity life ought to be about reachingout to other people and that means not onlypeople who are like yourself, but people who area great deal different. You find out how muchyou have in common." Such a view constituteswhat our DU founders had in mind when theymade "The Diffusion of Liberal Culture" one ofour brotherhood's Four Founding Principles.

During a time when so much of our cultureseems unanchored, and the people in it in searchof some permanence in their lives, we can lookto a person, a DU brother, like David Lawrence.An uncompromisingly principled man, whoselife reflects the high values he holds.

Total receivables fromchapters and colonies were$19,186 as of June 30, 1997,which represents 4% ofoperating revenue for theyear. This continues thetrend of improvedreceivables management andreflects the staff and Boardcommitment to effectivecontrol of chapter andcolony receivables.

A Visit to theIndiana Chapter"Renovate it and They Will Come"

With the assis tance of the InternationalFraternity, an undergradua te advisoryboard was created, with a focus onproviding guidance , suppo rt, andleadership to the chapter members.Third, alumni support and involvementwith the chap ter members was almostnon-existent and had to be improved.Fourt h, the chapter house, designed byan Italian architec t, had absorbed toomany years of cosmetic repairs and wasin dire need of renovation.

were committed members on the alumniboard ; and third, there were committ edmembers in the chapter house . Thesuccess of the renova tion was depe ndentupon all three of these ingred ientscoming together at the same time.

The centerpiece of the IndianaChapter's formal living room.

This also was not the time to dependupon the alumni for their financialsupport. The chapter house was in very

Faced with these challenges , the alumniboard essentially had two options: ( I )request that the International Fraternitysuspe nd the chapter's charter and shutdown the chapter house, allo wing thealumni board to sell the prop erty, or (2)take a chance and inves t in the chapterhouse and the exist ing membership . Theboard dec ided on a renovation of thephysical plant and a re-commitment tothe members. There were three esse ntialingredients to the succes s of ourrenovation. First, our alumn i board hadequi ty in the property; second, there

In reviewing the options available to themembers of the alumni boa rd, severalareas of need were assessed. First, thechapter membership had to be increasedwith improved awa reness of whatmembership in the Delta Upsi lonInternational Fraternity meant. Second,for many years the alumni boardoperated withou t an advisory board.

Several years ago the Indiana Chapterfell prey to these shifts in attitudes, andunfortunately the membership lost touchwith the Four Founding Principles ofDelta Upsilon. In addition, our alumniboard members were almost too late toprov ide assistance, but with the supportof the alumn i board, assistance from theInternat ional Fraternity, and a strongfocus on the membership, the chapterwas given another chance to survive.The Indiana Chapter has been blessedwith strong alumni involvement in ouralumni board for many years, and thisstrength allowed the current alumnimembers to make appropriate andpositive decisions.

Over time, many things can evo lve, andthrough this evolution of cha nge,adaptability must be addressed. It see msabout every 10 years, thesocio/economic attit udes of studentsencounter varying degrees of movement.These shifts in student attitudes can becrucial to the success or fai lure of manyof the genera l fraternities on ourcampuses today.

The Indiana Chapter of DeltaUpsilon has had a strong historyand prese nce on the Indiana

Universi ty campus, located inBloomi ngton, Indiana. Since the early1900's , this chapter has recruited anddeveloped an alumni population withover 900 living alumni, most of whomhave lived in the present chapter housesince it became DU's home in 1927.

Many of these donationscame from alumni who most of thealumni board members have either notmet or do not know, which was veryencouraging.

The test for the alumni board cameduri ng our Homecoming eve nt held inOctober. The turnou t of alumni wasgrea t and the feedback on the renovationproject was excellent. Current ly, thealum ni board is interview ing severalarchitectura l firms to ass ist incompleting the remaining interiorrenovations, des igning conce ptual plansfor an addition to the back of the houseand conceptual plans for a front plaza.Upon completion of those items, thealumn i board along with its sistercorporation, the Wrang ler Foundation(the Indiana Chapter's charitable arm) ,are planning to conduct a large scalecapi tal campaign . The focus of alumnisuppor t for this cam paign is tocontinually enhance the living quar tersfor our curre nt and future chaptermembers , promote the fund amentalvalues of the Fraternity, and to adva ncethe educational achievements of eac hchapter member.

If your alumniboard is facingthe same

critical situation the Indiana Chapterfaced last year, it is recommended thatyour alumni board gather a strongco ntingent of alumn i who are willing tobe invo lved, and recru it and develop astrong memb ership in the chapter.

The alumni board always encouragesalumni to vis itthe chap terhouse.Theirfeedback isvery importantfor futuredec isionmaking. If thealumni areexci ted aboutthe future ofthe IndianaChap ter, thentheirinvo lvementand suppor twi ll follow.

The first test came when schoolstarted with the Fall 1997 rushprogram. The chapter memberswere able to recruit 27 pledgesfor their fall pledge program ,and they are planning to recruitanother 25 pledges in theSpring 1998 recrui tmentprogram.

In addi tion , the alumni boardstarted mail ing its alumni

newsletters quarterly rather than semi -

annually. Through solicitations andarticles in the newsletters abo ut therenova tion, approx imately $8,000 hasbeen raise d. A portion of those fundswere contributed by seve ral alumni fromthe mid-50 's era for the construction ofthe fireplace mantel and the stained and

The alumni board conducted a survey ofthe chapter members and local alumniand it was deci ded, based upon theinput , that the common areas of thechapte r house needed to be totallyreno vated (entrance, foyer, stairway,living room , conference room, poolroom, ladies rest room, the rec roo m, andthe dining room ).

The University of Oregon is locatedin Eugene, Oregon. With a populationmore than 115,000, Eugene offers manyof the advantages of a larger city. Anextensive network of bike and joggingtrails cover the city. Eugene is less thantwo hours from Portland, skiing andmountain areas and the coast. TheUniversity of Oregon serves anestimated 14,000 undergraduates and4,000 graduates. Graduate programs ofinterest are law, business, collegestudent personnel (OSU), counseling,education and journalism.

Approximately 1,500 students areaffiliated with the Greek Community atOregon. There are 10 sororities (allhoused) and 17 fraternities (12 housed).Two Greek Advisors work closely withthe Panhellenic and InterfraternityCouncils, Greeks Against Rape, Orderof Omega and all 27 chapters.

Obstacles(continued from page 2)

Most of these restrictions areintended to "level the playing field" forall fraternities on a campus. In realitythey favor and perpetuate a few largechapters. I have also heard theserestrictions justified as a means toprotect "vulnerable and impressionable"freshmen. What nonsense. I suspectsome of these restrictions are meant tokeep university-owned housing fullyoccupied. Whatever reason is used toexplain them, these kinds of misguidedand paternalistic rules discouragestudents and even blatantly prohibitsome classes of students from joiningfraternities, prevent DU chapters fromeffectively rushing, and threaten thevitality of all fraternities. I know of nouniversity or college that imposessimilar restrictions on any other studentgroup. They are obviouslyanticompetitive and many violate ourmembers' rights to freedom ofassociation and freedom of speech.Delta Upsilon International Fraternitystrongly opposes any kind of restrictionon fraternity recruitment.

Some chapters burdened by theserestrictions have found creative ways toovercome them. For example, "deferredrush" has not kept the Carthage Chapterfrom successful recruitment efforts. TheCarthage Chapter members are involvedin activities in which first year studentsparticipate; they get to know the topfreshmen at the Kenosha, Wisc.,campus; and they invite them toparticipate in chapter activities. Whenthe freshmen are "eligible," the DUChapter at Carthage has a head start onits recruitment.

Similarly, even though theUniversity of Victoria does notrecognize Greek organizations asstudent groups, the Victoria Chapter hasbeen very successful recruiting newmembers by becoming involved in theleadership of most other studentorganizations on campus. DU is one ofthe best known student groups on thecampus in Victoria, British Columbia,despite the lack of official recognition.

Work to Rid Your Greek System ofRecruitment Limitations

Of course, for most of theseuniversity and IFC imposed rules there

is no legitimate way around them. Wedo not encourage our chapters topurposefully violate university or IFCrules. Delta Upsilon's policy has alwaysbeen to cooperate with and observe therules of the host institutions at whichour chapters are located. Our chapterscan only overcome these recruitmentrestrictions by abolishing them. TheFraternity regularly advocates touniversities and IFCs the problems withthese restrictions and seeks to abolishthem. Alumni influential with theuniversity or college can help lobbyuniversity officials to reconsider theserestrictions. Undergraduate chapterofficers should take the lead on theircampuses to challenge IFC imposedrestrictions. The IHQ staff would behappy to help your chapter in anycampaign you undertake to rid yourGreek system of these kinds oflimitations on fraternity recruitment.

Fraternally,

Hamilton Chapterof Delta UpsilonCelebrates 150thAnniversary

In the 1990s, the Hamilton Chapter hasfaced many challenges brought about bythe college administration and itschanging views on fraternities. The mostdevastating move by the administrationwas the decision to ban off-campushousing, thereby disallowing fraternitiesto occupy and use their houses. Thisadversity has helped our chapter toredefine what it means to be a DeltaUpsilon brother.

Weekend activities included awelcoming reception, a celebration forthe football game, and an informalluncheon after the game at whichseveral alunmi spoke.

Following this initiative, HamiltonCollege's Delta Upsilon Chapter, whichis now the Fraternity's oldest chapter,celebrated its 150th continuous year ofexistence during Hamilton's alunmiweekend (homecoming weekend). Atremendous amount of effort on the partof the undergraduate members allowedthe weekend to be an outstandingsuccess as well as a starting point fromwhich to fortify ties with our alunmi.

As we start on our next 150 years, wewant to stress the relationships forgedamong our brothers. These relationshipsare the heart of our Fraternity and meanmore to our brotherhood than anymaterial possession. We have learnedthat a house or social setting does notmake a fraternity; it is the bonds offriendship and brotherhood that justifyour existence as an organization.

The luncheon was the biggest draw,attracting 30-40 young alunmi and a fewfestive older DUs including F. Eugene

A s the Delta Upsilon Chapter atHamilton College celebrates its150th anniversary, we are

the fuel -- the financia lresources -- to assist in theFraterni ty's lunar mission.We raised a total of nearly$280,000 in the year thatended June 30, 1997, with nogrant request for the StarProgram.

This year, we must raise$400,000 (an increase ofnearly 43%) to fund all of theprograms adequately;including a $77,000 Phase Igrant for the Star Pro gram(see Campaign Priorit ies boxbelow).

If you sense somegenuine excitem ent for thefuture of DU, and the impactthat new programs will haveupon it, your perception iscorrect. The need is urgent,however, for financia lsupport at all levels from ouralumni and parents. OurDirector of LeadershipEducation position must befunded immediately, beforeany further progress canoccur. We're headed for themoon, and we need you toclimb on board.

primarily through an Internetconnection to each student'spersonal computer. Deliveryof the program in this waywill give each brother theopportunity to take advantageof the resource s, support , anduniqu e education that comesfrom interaction with 2,500undergraduate brothers acrossthe contin ent , and 60,000alumni brothers around theworld .

Implementation of thisprogram at nearly 90 DUchapters is in itself asdauntin g as a trip to themoon. That is why theFraternity's Board ofDirectors has authorized thecreation of a Director ofLeadership Education, anew full-time staff positionbased out of the IndianapolisHeadqu arters . The search iscurrently on for a candidatewho will shepherd the StarProgram to widespread use,and the EducationalFoundation has agreed toraise the major ity of fundsneeded for this essentialposition .

Bringing the Star

Program to marketconstitutes an exitingchallenge for the DeltaUpsilon EducationalFoundati on as well, as we arebeing called upon to provide

A n effort to "take allof our chapters to themoon" was the

metaphor used in adiscu ssion at the fall 1997International Fra ternity Boardof Directors meeting inCincinnati. It was a powerfuland inspiring ima ge for me,because it captured the scopeof a project that I believe isvital to the continuedexis tence and future growthof our brotherhood .

The project, called TheStar Program fo r LeadershipDevelopment, would serve tomake each undergraduatebrother 's personal grow th thetop priority in every Delta Uchapter across North

America. While that maysound like the primary goalfor all of our chapters, it isnot. On too many DUcampuses, the firstcommitment by our chaptersis to preserve and build areput ation based on providingsocia l contacts and a fullsocial calendar for itsmembers. At these chapters,parties are the topcommitment, rather than thegrow th and development ofeach brother.

The emphasis of ourcommitment to each DUpledge and brother mustchange. It must do so forhund reds of reasons, but themost important is this: asmany as half of our chaptersare not fulfilling the missionthat got this greatest-of-allfraternities started 163 years
