Catching Up With Brother Jay Jenkins
Thanks to Jay Jenkins for sharing with us his life experiences… here he is, in his own words:
A2 Planning Commission Approves Site Plan 9-0
The Delta Chi Special Exception Use and Site Plan Project was reviewed at the July 1 meeting of the Ann Arbor City Planning Committee. Staff gave an overview and approval without contingencies for the project. The Planning Commission, after hearing all interested persons (there were none in attendance at 11 pm) and reviewing all relevant information, found the petition to substantially meet the standards and therefore approved, by a vote of 9-0, the Delta Chi Special Exception Use for a fraternity, subject to building occupancy of no more than 34 persons including the resident manager. Note: this resident manager can be anyone in the house and it does not have to be a paid position.
Jerry Newport: Making the Most of Different Abilities!
“I appreciate Delta Chi now as a lifetime experience- showing loyalty and love from college that is still there. You might not even see it as an undergrad. When I think about my Delta Chi experience, it makes me even gladder today that I felt back then…”
Good News and More Good News on the New Chapter House
Here is the good news… 41 brothers have donated to the new chapter house project and the total stands at $602K. Thank you, thank you! But, we must raise $1 million by the end of September so the design can be completed and the additional $1.5 million loan can be secured. The opportunity… it’s time for the remaining 400 brothers to honor the commitment each of us made when we became an active to support Delta Chi through out our lifetime. Please answer your commitment and pledge your donation now.
March Madness Makes the Big Bucks!
This semester, Delta Chi presented the Third Annual March Madness Tournament as our philanthropy event with all of our proceeds going to the Jimmy V Foundation for cancer research. We set a $2000 goal, as last year’s event raised about $1500.
Alumni Spotlight: Art Angood
Art Angood has spent almost all of his life in the Battle Creek area. So, when high school classmates who were members of Delta Chi invited him to pledge, he said it felt like “coming home.”
Greg Candy: Bungy Jumping and Brotherhood
I, Gregory (“Greg”) Candy, B.A.’76, had a varied undergraduate experience entering Michigan as a Music Performance major on a Navy ROTC scholarship. Go figure.
An Update on the Tax Deductibility of Your Donation
Dan Maher ’76 has been diligently pursuing the issue of tax deductibility and it appears there may be a more favorable interpretation.

Update on the New Chapter House from Team Leader Howard Gandelot
We launched the “All Alumni” phase of the new chapter house campaign with a new 12-page brochure that was mailed to all brothers mid-February. We have commitments for $513,000 of the $1 million we need to raise! Additionally, the much revised and improved conceptual drawings and site plan were submitted to the City of Ann Arbor planning group on January 27th.
