There’s Still Time to Add Your Name to the 2008-09 Honor Roll!
The end of the giving year is fast approaching on August 31! Be sure that you’re listed on the next published Honor Roll of Donors by making your donation before the giving year ends.

A few of our donors recently shared the influence that the fraternity has had on them, and why they support DTD in their alumni years:

• “My best friends are my fraternity brothers.”
• “DTD has allowed me to be a strong relationship builder, which has helped me in my career. More importantly, it’s allowed me to be a happier person.”
• “I would say the fraternity has completely influenced the person I am today.”

Hasn’t DTD had a similar impact on you too?

Let us know the ways it has – and make your annual fund donation – before the giving year ends August 31.

Clash of the Titans
Todd Herges ’86 and Dave Wells ’88 squared off as opposing managers in a recent Little League game near Champaign. Herges’ team traveled from Kearney, Nebraska for a triple header against teams from his native Champaign. At game time, both Wells and Herges were surprised to discover that their teams shared a common name (Titans) and wore virtually identical uniforms (orange and blue, of course). To top it off, their son’s Rob Herges and Noah Wells both wear number 34 jerseys. The Kearney Titans road trip finished up with a Sunday night Cubs game at Wrigley Field.
