Spotlight on Brother F. William (Bill) Thewalt ’58
Alumni Spotlight: F. William (Bill) Thewalt
We recently caught up with F. William (Bill) Thewalt, ’58 for an alumni spotlight he reflected on his time at Delta Chi. Here’s what he had to say:
I grew up on the east side of Detroit. I graduated from Denby High School in Detroit in 1953. I began at the University of Michigan in September, 1953. My first roommate was Larry Smart ’55 from the Soo. Larry pledged Delta Chi that fall. I waited until the spring semester to rush. Nearing the end of rush I was undecided to pledge Delta Chi or another fraternity. Larry used the opportunity of being a roommate to extol the advantages of Delta Chi and so I ended up pledging the last day of the rush period.
Wolverines vs. Hawkeyes Outing
Go Blue!
Brothers and Friends,
Gather your Maize and Blue, Delta Chi has been able to secure a block of eight (8) tickets in a group for the Michigan Wolverines vs. Iowa Hawkeyes on Saturday, October 5, 2019. These will be offered on a first come first serve basis and will be FACE VALUE. The Ticket Department has not yet provided the actual cost per ticket but I would suggest that it will likely be around $100 per ticket. PRICELESS if we go on to be Big Ten Champs or greater!!
Delta Chi Wins Sheepskin on the Hoof
During the fundraising campaign, I had the pleasure of talking to Henry Winchester ’51 on multiple occasions. He entered the fraternity during the early days when they had just come back on campus in 1948. While talking to him and later when he did his DX biography he mentioned the delivery of a live lamb to the Michigan DX from the Ohio State DX to pay a wager the two Chapters had made on the 1950 football game.
Motorcycle Burial at Michigan DX
During the fundraising effort we came across many stories. One story of note was the burial ceremony of a motorcycle on the grounds of Delta Chi in 1981.
Volunteer with DX
Your Fraternity Needs You…
The Delta Chi alumni association is looking for volunteers to donate a little of their time to continue to reinforce the bonds of brotherhood among the alumni group. We have over 700 alumni of the Michigan Chapter and almost 200 of them have graduated since 2010.

Delta Chi Memories February 8, 2019
As I write this it is my 73rd birthday. I woke up to Happy Birthday wishes from Al Kanus ‘68, my Delta Chi big brother, and John Hasse ‘66, my best friend from my Delta Chi college days. Perhaps that’s tells you all you have to know about my fraternity experience. But there is a lot more.
