History of Delta Chi at Michigan
FOREWORD
This report was compiled from March through July 1997 by examining all existing CMR forms from 1925-1997 and all existing chapter history forms from 1925-1986. It was accomplished by reading each individual CMR and noting any event which seemed significant, detailing it with the month and year of the event. This forms the bulk of Part II. Once I had completed the reading of the CMR’s I went through the Chapter History Reports which yielded additional information. Secondly, I compiled my existence each year and attempted to discern what their function was. This makes up Part III. I also felt it was important to write down chapter traditions such as chapter awards. This is covered in Part VI. Finally, I felt it was important to include the raw data which showed the overall membership trend of the chapter over the past seventy-seven years, which makes up Part IV. The report began by evaluating the CMR’s from 1983-97, which were the only ones available at time (in December, 1996). When the other CMR’s were found, I thought it would be a good idea to complete the project. This involved many late nights, but in the end I feel the effort was worth it. I finished reading through all the CMR’s by the end of March 1997. In April I typed up a first draft of this report. On July 9, 1997 I completed the final revision. This report was created so that the brothers of the Michigan Chapter could gain insight into the rich history of our chapter as well as gain ideas from the successes and mistakes of the past. By learning about and applying such ideas, it is my hope that that our chapter will continue to exist as one of the finest Delta Chi chapters in the country. It also serves as a tool to remind alumni of their years as a Michigan Delta Chi. Let this document be a building block so that the history events in our chapter will continue to be reported well into the future.
In the Bond,
