President Andy Goffin ’22 wins the 2021 Edwin Fitzpatrick Outstanding IFC Student Leader Award

The Cornell Interfraternity Council recognized President Andy Goffin ’22 as the winner of the Outstanding Student Leader Award. Every year, the Outstanding Student Leader Award is awarded to a senior who has displayed loyalty and leadership in fraternity affairs and whose contribution to the Cornell Sorority and Fraternity community has strengthened its member organization. The award is usually dedicated to recognizing outstanding senior students, but Andy was awarded an exception as a junior for his outstanding leadership. When asked about the award, Andy noted, “It is such an honor to be nominated and to win this prestigious award in such a difficult, unpredictable year to lead our chapter.” We congratulate Andy on his continued success and thank him for his time leading the brotherhood.

Delta Chi Hosts Alumni both in-person and virtually for the first Delta Chi Alumni Speaker Series

Over the spring of 2021, the Delta Chi Executive Board leveraged the virtual Zoom environment to host Delta Chi alumni over Zoom that shared anecdotes about their time within the fraternity, their respective career paths, and insight into enjoying their Cornell experience. We want to thank the following alumni for taking the time out of their busy schedules to share some wisdom with the brotherhood:

• Michael Paolucci

• Philip van der Made

• Skyler Schain

• Robert Lindsley

• Ira Auerbach

• Richard Fertig

Brothers enjoyed meeting these distinguished alumni. Brother Colin White ’22 noted, “The Speaker Series was an incredible opportunity to interact with talented alumni of all years and industries, as well as learn more about their career paths and their memories of Delta Chi.”

We look forward to continuing the series and hosting speakers in the fall. If you would like to meet some of the brothers in the house and share your experiences, please reach out to George Sotelo, Alumni Relations Chair, at gms266@cornell.edu.

Delta Chi Wins 1st Place in 2017 IFCribz Video Contest

Thank you to all alumni, parents, and Delta Chi supporters who watched and liked our IFCribz video last semester! The Cornell Chapter of Delta Chi will be donating the $1,000 award, earned from Cornell's Slope Media Group, to our philanthropy The V Foundation for Cancer Research. The video, as seen below, gained nearly 11.5 thousand views.

" This week, brothers of Delta Chi Fraternity celebrated their win in Slope Media Group’s IFC Cribz video contest. The competition, which asked chapters to garner support for videos about each of their respective houses, helped to familiarize students across campus with the living arrangements enjoyed by members of the IFC community.

The contest’s rules stated that the chapter whose video gained the most likes on Facebook would win $1,000 to give to their charity of choice. At 456 likes, Delta Chi rose to the top and attained this honor. “I would like to thank Slope Media for coordinating the IFC Cribz competition. Our chapter is very excited to donate the prize of $1,000 to the V Foundation for Cancer Research, our nationally supported philanthropy organization” said Chris Miller, Delta Chi president. The Jimmy V foundation, founded by college basketball coach Jim Valvano, has awarded over $170 million in cancer research grants because of donations like the $1,000 it will soon receive from Slope Media Group.

Noah Gonzalez, the brother of Delta Chi who took charge of planning, organizing, and advertising the video also expressed his pleasure with the outcome: “Making this video was a great opportunity for our brotherhood to both work together and showcase our home. Every brother contributed in their own way -- either with editing ideas or spreading the Facebook post. Thanks to the Greek community for showing their support!” - Press Release (02.10.17), Cornell Interfraternity Council and Slope Media Group

Seth Klarman '79 Donates First Addition to the Humanities since 1905

"Cornell administrators and donors broke ground on 23 May 2013 for Klarman Hall, the first new building for the humanities on central campus since Goldwin Smith Hall opened in 1905. Klarman expressed his belief in 'the importance of a well-rounded liberal arts education' and a core philanthropic belief he and Beth share in 'the importance of making connections -- when talented people come together and are exposed to ideas, untold good can result.' The $61 million project is being funded entirely by philanthropy, and the Klarman Family Foundation provided the lead gift."
