Our Own David Ebner Wins an Award!

At this year’s Congress, a number of awards were given out, honoring those men in the Chi Phi Fraternity who have given service above and beyond that of the normal Chi Phi. One of those awards is the “Chi Phi Fraternity – Distinguished Service Award.” This annual award recognizes Chi Phi Brothers who have demonstrated an extraordinary level of service to the Fraternity in terms of number of years and throughout the previous year. Certainly, no Alumni has demonstrated this level of service than our own Alumni President, Brother David Ebner!

Without a doubt, Brother Ebner has been instrumental in bringing the Alumni Association to greater heights than it has been in a long time. In addition to that, Brother Ebner has remained involved with the National Office, has remained in contact with and assisted the Delta Zeta Chapter whenever needed, and has just been a shining example of what it means to be a true Chi Phi Brother.20140629_110219

 

So the DZAA extends a huge snaps and congratulations to Brother David Ebner on being presented with the Chi Phi Fraternity – Distinguished Service Award – we can’t think of anyone more deserving!

DZAA Heroes – Brother Tim White Retires!

Delta Zeta is proud to have seen a number of its Brothers serve our country in the various armed forces, but this month marks a very special occasion – for Brother Tim White is retiring from his service with the United States Air Force.

TIM WHITE

A professor of joint military operations with the Air Force, Brother White has served for 25 years, having been stationed across the country, including Vance AFB in Oklahoma; Dyess AFB in Texas, Grams Forks AFB in North Dakota; Maxwell AFB in Alabama; McConnell AFB in Kansas; Altus AFB in Oklahoma; McGuire AFB in New Jersey; Naval Station Newport in Rhode Island; and Scott AFB in Illinois.

Brother White has been deployed 13 times during his career, mostly to the desert. He has flown combat missions and Special Operations combat missions in both Afghanistan and Iraq.

“I am proudest of the courage of my family during my deployments,” Brother White states, “as my triplet children grew old enough to fully understand both how long I’d be gone and how dangerous deployments could be.”

Brother White also praises his time as a Chi Phi. “Being a Chi Phi Brother helped me to depend on those stationed around me,” he admits. “My relationships in Chi Phi bled into the trust I would place in my fellow Airmen to accomplish the mission. It was this trust that afforded my comrades and me unrivaled success in our service to our nation and this opportunity to proudly and contently retire from the United States Air Force.”
