Second Half!

First, installation as National President at the Leadership School in 1992 at my alma mater (SDM). Second, pinning the Triangle jeweled badge on a 75 year member of Triangle at the 1993 convention in Indianapolis. Third, the keynote speaker at the convention in Washington D.C., Viet Nam POW.

We need to help set the conditions so Triangle Fraternity can grow. I believe that can be accomplished by working together with our four stakeholders: Actives, Alumni, Universities, and Families (Parents). We have to be able to show that Triangle can provide more to our members than a “learning community” in a dormitory.

1. Work with my fellow National Council members to establish and implement achievable goals and objectives that provide value to our membership and help to grow the Fraternity.

2. Assist Chapters by being an effective listener and providing experienced leadership.

3. Work to get National Council re-engaged with the chapters at their respective universities and colleges.
