Where Are They Now? – Adam Feinberg

Whatever happened to Adam Feinberg? Before Delta Zeta even named their classes, Adam Feinberg was there! It was 1987 when this young college student pledged the Delta Zeta Chapter of the Chi Phi Fraternity, and Brother Feinberg fondly recalls, “it was simple [back then], and I still have my ‘Squid #86’ pledge jersey! The great idea of class names started once we knew it was forever and not just 50 guys and li’l sisters having fun!” He stuck with it, though, and graduated in 1990 with a degree in International Studies and Economics (“Why?” he asks, “I have no idea!”).

After college, Brother Feinberg married his beautiful wife, Dganitt, who, coincidentally enough, he went to high school with but never knew her at that time! They have four great kids, ages 7, 10, 12, and 14, and to support this amazing family, he works as the Guardian Protection Services Regional Sales Manager for not one, not two, not even three, but FOUR states!

He currently resides in Pennsylvania, just south of Philadelphia. He remains in contact with several of his Brothers through Facebook, and he checks in with them from time to time. “Chip Woodward was my roommate in Lambda II Dorm when he joined Chi Phi,” Brother Feinberg recalls. “The next semester, I joined, and we have been great friends ever since. My door is always open to a DZ!” He definitely misses Chip, as well as George King. “And even Tanner,” he adds, “formally known as Gary Chaiken, and several others too.” But with all of the modern technology of cell phones, e-mails, and Facebook, Brother Feinberg tries to stay in touch with them all.

When thinking about how his years with Chi Phi has impacted his life, Brother Feinberg admits that is a huge question. “I tried to answer that in a Chakett article that came out a few months ago. The three “L’s” come to mind all the time – Listen, Learn, and Lead. When thinking back to having to do so much with so little time, and yet have such a great time doing it keeps me sane with things get tough in my day to day life. At least now, when I work my butt off, there is a paycheck attached to it,” he adds with a grin.

Brother Feinberg states he is always a Chi Phi and will always remain in the bonds.

Brother Suarez Ties the Knot!

Suarez Wedding - Ryan CoverAs Chi Phi, we share a number of exciting days in our Brothers’ lives – from graduations to birthdays to new cars to new homes. But few celebrations are as life-changing as the day a Brother gets married! And recently, the Delta Zeta Alumni were able to share in the joy as Brother Ryan Suarez tied the knot with the love of his life!

On April 5, 2014, Brother Suarez said “I do” to his lovely bride, Ciara, and sharing in this joyous occasion were Brothers David Ebner, Josh Cleveland, Jason Bornstein, Sameep Shah, Kyllan Purdon, Aaron Poidevin, and Quincy Banis. Brother Suarez shares these wonderful thoughts from the day:

“Qunicy brought a female friend who he broke up with the next week. Poidevin got shot by cupid’s arrow Suarez Wedding - Quincy(if you know what I mean). Cleveland got shot down by a girl who he now is seriously talking too. We all got a chance to see Quincy and his then-girlfriend try procreating. Bornstein got robbed of his blanket in the hotel room, which they had set at 50! And he got about 45 minutes of sleep due to the bitter cold his brothers made him suffer through. All in all, everyone had a good time. Chi Phis added that extra life to the party, and no one got arrested! Oh, and yes, my wife Ciara did say YES, and we are happily married for 2+ months now. The wedding was in Sarasota, Florida. While weddings are expensive, all the hard work paid off in the end. I didn’t get cold feet and might have shed a tear (due to the sun in my eyes). Brothers Cleveland and Bornstein helped with last minute wedding details and spent the night with me on my last night as a single man.”

We all wish Brother Suarez the very best in the years to come as he shares the rest of his life in wedded bliss with his lovely wife, Ciara! Congratulations to you both!
