Thomas C. Haid ’78 Delta Chi
I was born and raised along with my twin brother (Terry, ’78) in Springfield, Ohio 45 miles from Columbus. So, it raised a few eyebrows when we skipped attending the local state school and both enrolled at the University of Michigan on ROTC scholarships (Terry, Navy and myself, Army) to pursue engineering degrees in the fall 1974.

2021 is the Year of Connection
Each of us had our own unique experience of 2020… But even as we all manage the disruptions—homeschooling our kids on the side, welcoming our college students home early, helping our parents order groceries online—we were fortunate to be on the frontlines for one of the brightest silver linings of the COVID-19 pandemic:connection In spite […]

Delta Chi Michigan Chapter Life during COVID-19 – Fall 2020
Hello Alumni and Current Brothers of the University of Michigan Chapter of Delta Chi Fraternity. As reported in previous E-Delts about the Fall Semester of 2020, things for this school year have been very different than previous years. Unfortunately, the changes have not all been for the good!!!
From No Football to Crappy Football, Social Distancing instead of Social Functions (well maybe there were social functions if 24 of 31 Brothers living in the Chapter House got COVID-19 and co-incidentally a similar number of Chi Omegas also got COVID-19 around the same time, no meals together – order them on the App and take them to the room to eat, no exercise walking to class because they were all remote and so on and so on. Things that we Alumni took for granted just were not the same.
The good news is that no one has contracted a severe form of the illness – after symptoms subsided, we had the house “fogged” and there have not been any recurrences of the illness.
Alumni Profile – Lee Brandt ’63
Lee Brandt was born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where he found his high school sweetheart and his passion for flying, which inevitably led him to the University of Michigan for an aeronautical engineering degree in 1959. In the spring semester of 1960, Lee pledged Delta Chi, one of only four in that pledge class. Since then, he has raised a family and had a very successful career.

WiFi Network at Chapter House Funding
Early last year, the pandemic forced our undergraduate brothers to abandon the in-person classroom experience at Michigan and move to online classes. This placed a tremendous strain on the WIFI network at the house. The Alumni Corporation has implemented improvements to the system, to allow more members to be online simultaneously, including: more hubs/access sites, greater bandwidth, and faster speed. The goal is to give our brothers the ability to successfully take courses and study at the house (which is their home).
