Sit down, grab a cup of joe and enjoy this tale of a connection between a group of teens who barely know each other and think they are all the complete opposite, or so they thought…

This story starts on January 12, a cold winter day that initiated the beginning of the end for these young men. Each of them nervously arriving at their future home, Delta Sigma Phi, unloading their items into the arms of thirty excited and wound up members of the house that could not wait to meet the new members.

As each of the new members became acquainted with their rooms and adjusted to the lifestyle of living in a house with 64 other guys it became obvious this was no ordinary fraternity. It all started with always keeping an open door.

That is one of the number one keys to having a house unified is keeping your door open and willing to go out of your way to talk and bond with your brothers. Secondly, it is important to be active within the house and hold a position or possibly run an event, just doing something to give back to the house in your own way. Then lastly keeping an open mind/staying creative with any situation you encounter.

I have learned to grow from each of these men here at Delta Sigma Phi and am hoping to succeed by following not only these expectations I set for myself but as a whole chapter growing and succeeding even beyond the expectations I have set.
