This past Friday, February 3, the Delta Alpha Chapter inducted nine new candidates into the chapter. Candidates Ben Cowen, Ryan Currie, Tom Emelko, A.J Grubbs, Isaac Kupetz, Joe Laucks, Levi Ridgeway, Patrick Ryan, and Ian Taylor celebrated their candidate ceremony with the brothers by going out to cosmic bowling at Freeway Lanes in Wickliffe, OH. The Delta Alpha chapter congratulates the brothers on a very successful spring rush, as well as the new candidates on the beginning of their journey towards becoming a Knight of the Legion of Honor.

Today, Brothers Barron (DA1307), Smith (DA1325), and Maloy (DA1327) were selected to serve upon Case Western Reserve University's freshman orientation executive board (E-Board), which serves to coordinate and plan freshman orientation along with the orientation leaders (OLs). All three brothers have previously served as OLs, and are excited to be taking up strong leadership roles in the freshman orientation process. Orientation training commences later during the spring semester, and will continue until the summer, where OLs and E-Board members will begin to work with freshmen in late August. Congratulations to new E-Board members Barron, Smith, and Maloy!

Congratulations to our current Eminent Commander and brother Andrew Leveto(DA1280) who was inducted last night as a member of the Order of Omega. This is Case Western's Greek Honor Society that recognizes those who excel; not only in academics and leadership within the chapter, but throughout campus and the community. It recognizes the elite of Greeks on the Case Western campus, those who strive to live their values beyond their chapter. Brother Leveto has now joined Brother Via(DA1276) who was inducted in Fall 2009.

The Delta Alpha Chapter of Sigma Nu placed 1st in the non-competitive bracket of the Phi Mu Hoopalooza Basketball Tournament this weekend. Brothers Moeller, Lee and Linden competed in the 3v3 tournament for charity and came out the victors. "Despite our battle scars we were still able to put the team on our back as we toiled through all seven games," spoke Brother Moeller. Though a non-competitive bracket, the mood was tense as the brothers rallied on for a triumphant win.

On September 30th, the Delta Alpha chapter of Sigma Nu hosted the first annual Frisbee and Flapjacks for Hunger, an ultimate frisbee tournament benefitting the Ohio Association of Second Harvest Foodbank’s Nothing Campaign and the Cleveland Foodbank.

Despite cold and rainy weather, twenty teams came out to enjoy the competition and food. Over six hundred dollars was raised for the Cleveland Foodbank at the event.

We would like to thank all of the participating teams for their support for our first philanthropy event in many years. Congratulations to Beta Theta Pi, Guilty Pleasures, and the Monstars for their first, second, and third place finishes. We hope to see you all again next year.
