News, News, and More News – What’s Up Nationally

The newsfeed coming out of Chi Phi’s National Office is never-ending – here’s just a small portion of what’s going on with Chi Phi:

Since 2010, Chi Phi has pledged almost 1,700 New Members. This is the largest growth in Membership years.  And based on fall accreditation, 31 of our Chapters are larger than the average chapter size on their campus. Ten additional Chapters are within 10 men of exceeding the average chapter size. The average Chi Phi Chapter size for this past semester is 42 men.

In addition, based off the fall 2013 accreditation submission, the average Chapter GPA of Initiated Brothers is 2.95 and a 2.72 for New Members. Thirty-two Chapters have a combined GPA that is higher than the all-male average on their campus.

And if that weren’t enough, this past semester, Chi Phi Men donated 16,900 hours of service. That’s the equivalent of 704 days or 1.93 years! That brings the total for the past two semesters to 38,900 hours or 4.44 years. Phenomenal work by the men of Chi Phi!

Recently, a friend of Chi Phi has made a $100,000 investment in the men of the Eta Chapter through the Eta Chapter Excellence Fund. Click to learn more and how you can add your name to Chi Phi’s history books!  http://chiphi.co/gift

Finally, 2014 will definitely be a year of growth, as Chi Phi will be re-establishing Chapters at Nu (University of Texas at Austin), Iota Delta (Indiana University), Mu Delta (Auburn University), and Alpha Theta Chi (University of Nebraska).

Chi Phi is on the move – be a part of it in 2014!

In the News – Adam Feinberg and Todd Latoski

“Young Donor Makes Lasting Impact on Chapter and Chi Phi.”  This is the headline to an article in the Fall 2013 printed issue of The Chi Phi Chakett which highlights Delta Zeta alumnus, Brother DSCN2132Adam Feinberg and his more than generous donation to support Chi Phi and Delta Zeta.  Brother Feinberg joined the MacLean Legacy Society this past spring with a $50,000 life insurance gift to the Fraternity, and he sat down for an interview with Senior Director of Development, Elizabeth Knott, to discuss his life with Chi Phi and the reasons for his donation.   So, with the three other DZAA mentions in this issue of the Chakett, Brother Feinberg’s article  raises it to a total of four nods to our Alumni Association in just one issue!  To read the full article, check out the inside cover of the Fall 2013 Chakett, or you can read the entire article online at http://www.chiphi.org/chakettonline/educational-trust/2013/10/young-donor-makes-lasting-impact-on-chapter-and-chi-phi/.

On the lighter side of things, fellow alumnus, Brother Todd Latoski, has been involved in his community theater for the past four years, and this weekend was the opening weekend of his latest play, “Drinking Habits.”  Brother Latoski DSCN2233plays an investigative reporter sent to uncover the truth behind a rumor that nuns are making award-winning wine at the local convent.  A hilarious farce, the play finds Brother Latoski changing identities, changing costumes, and changing stories so much you’ll need a score card!  The play is at the Shoestring Theater in Lake Helen (just outside of Orange City and Deltona) and runs for two more weekends.  For more info on the play, go to the website at http://shoestringtheatre.net/.  If you’re in the area, come out and support Brother Latoski and enjoy more than a few laughs!

If you’ve got news or an announcement, please don’t forget to let us know so that we can post it here and let all of your Brothers share in it!
