By Nathan Bouchard, Rho Chapter Alumni

For the fourth year in a row, Kappa Delta Phi’s Rho Chapter has won University of Maine at Fort Kent’s award for Best organization on campus. The brothers of Rho chapter were given the award for their outstanding commitment to community service and relentless involvement in campus activities.

Among the numerous philanthropic activities performed by the brothers was assistance with campus move-in, wherein they helped new students move into their dorm rooms. In the fall, they did a haunted walk for the local cub scouts and university students. They also participated in the Scarecrow festival/Come to Campus days, sponsoring a bonfire on Friday night, and assembling a float on Saturday. The brothers also put on a diamond dinner where they raised money for a number of local charities, including the local food pantry. The brothers also sponsored several game nights on campus, and held a toga party. The brothers also participated in the domestic violence awareness walk.

In the spring the brothers and sisters also helped out on Earth Day, by helping educate the children of the Saint John Valley. Toward the end of each semester, the brothers also put on late night breakfasts for students studying for finals.

In the spring, with Fort Kent beset by flooding, they also lent a hand on campus and in the community, an invaluable service to the campus and community at large.

Congratulations Brothers! Have a terrific and productive summer.

event they helped at a local High School.

On April 30th at the University of Maine at Orono, two teams composed of Kappa Delta Phi Fratneity, Alpha Alpha Chapter Brothers competed in the Tippman ROTC Paintball Tournament. Against 18 other teams, including one team containing another brother, the two teams were able to place 15th (Black Team) and 4th (Gold Team). The winning team, Super Squad, contained Mu Alum and Alpha Alpha Active Ryan Barnes, who's jersey never saw a drop of paint until the Alpha Alpha men smashed some on it after he took first place.

Over all the Kappa boys outlasted all competition, of the 3 teams finishing ahead of Gold Team two contained former and current Semi-Professional players and the third was a military ensemble from the Army ROTC. One player on Gold Team had never fired a Paint Ball Gun before in his life, proving again that when called upon to step up and meet a challenge, Kappa Delta Phi prevails.

A couple of the Nu Chapter Brothers in attendance pause to gather for a photo

On Saturday, April 26, the Acttive and Alumni Brothers of Kappa Delta Phi National Fraternity, Nu Chapter at Thomas College participated in a walk to benefit the Maine Children’s Home for Little Wanderer’s out of Waterville, Maine. The brothers helped by raising money and awareness for the Maine Children’s home in the months prior to the walk.

The purpose of the walk was to raise enough money to send 150 underprivileged children to summer camp for a week during the summer. As of the day of the walk, $10,000 had already been raised; and, it was estimated that another several thousand had been raised by the end of the walk. It appears that the Maine Children’s Home is well on the way to achieving its goal for this summer.

The Maine Children’s Home serves the community of Waterville in several ways by providing “a Teen Parent School Program for pregnant and parenting teens; The Children's Place, a comprehensive early childcare and education facility; an outpatient mental health counseling center at our Augusta and Waterville Locations; community education programs; an Adoption Program with Birthparent Services, Home Studies, and Placement (infant and international); a Christmas Program; and a Summer Camp Scholarship Program (www.MaineChildrensHome.org).”

Overall, the walk was a success, a great time was had by all who were involved, and it was an excellent bonding experience for the brothers and alumni of Nu Chapter.

The UMaine Presque Isle Student Senate ask the Campus Community for help on their volunteer service project entitled "Help Your Seniors Day". They joined with the Aroostook Area Agency on Aging in organizing a community outreach project to reach out a helping hand to area seniors.

Kappa Delta Phi, Mu Chapter at UMPI Brothers answered the call, comprising 1/2 to 3/4 of all students that came out to help.

Article from the UMaine Presque Isle newspaper.

Many members of the local community were grateful to have campus and community members volunteer to help them around the house on Saturday, April 26. Approximately 30 people came out to help 22-23 households during “Help Your Seniors Day.” The event was sponsored by the Student Senate at the University of Maine at Presque Isle, the Aroostook Area Agency on Aging along with UMPI administration members President Don Zillman and Dean of Students Christine Corsello.

The basic idea behind “Help Your Senior Day” was to help local seniors with tasks they may not be able to accomplish themselves, such as clean windows, do lawn work, or organize and re-arrange rooms. Wal-Mart donated a $100 gift card so the Student Senate could purchase cleaning supplies including, paper towels, Windex and trash bags.

Zillman and Corsello came up with the idea of helping local seniors.

“We worked with Steve Farnham and the Aroostook Area on Aging,” said Corsello. “Mr. Farnham, through his agency and work, collected the names of the seniors who wished to have projects completed at their homes.”

Steve Callioras, the director of Student Senate’s External Affairs committee, and Megan Fowler, a member of the committee, organized the event. People who volunteered ranged from members of Student Senate to brothers of Kappa Delta Phi fraternity to other students and faculty. Even Zillman and Corsello did some volunteer work.

Sign-in started at 8:30 a.m. and teams of 2-4 formed and houses were designated to each team. T-Shirts were given out to everyone that participated in the event. Teams then grabbed cleaning supplies and headed off to there designated houses ready and willing to do what was asked of them. Participants provided their own transportation, so most teams car-pooled.

According to Corsello the groups went to homes in Presque Isle, Caribou, Washburn and Easton.

“I sure appreciate this,” said Marcelyn Carter of Presque Isle as one team cleaned her windows. “I am 75 years old and this is the first time anyone has offered anything like this. My husband, Wendell Carter, has Alzheimer’s, so it’s hard for me to do things around the house.” As Carter began to shed tears of joy she said, “Thank you guys very, very much.”

At another house, Kenneth Oliver III, an alumnus of Kappa Delta Phi fraternity, was just getting done taking a few storm windows off a home. Oliver smiled and said, “We helped some people out and learned a few things along the way.”
At around 1:30 p.m., people finished up their tasks and gathered at Zillman’s house on the UMPI campus for a BBQ lunch provided by Aramark in celebration of a job well done. Many people discussed their experiences and how they felt everything went.

“The day went great for our first attempt,” said Callioras, “the amount of people that helped out was amazing. We had a few kinks, such as people not home or available, but we worked through it.”

Fowler suggested that this event should be done yearly.

“You feel so good,” said Margaret Smith, a student attending UMPI. “It feels great being a part of the community.”

Benjamin Marquis, a brother of Kappa Delta Phi fraternity, shared his experience as well. “All the folks that we helped were really thankful that someone else in the community cared about them. We truly made a difference and this is something I hope the University keeps as a tradition. Kappa Delta Phi will always be there to lend a helping hand.”

At the BBQ, Zillman gave a short thank you speech. He was proud of everyone who volunteered there time to help out the elderly. He also said that this was a terrific start to what he hopes will be a big annual event.

Since Saturday’s event, participants have returned to some of the households to finish up tasks around the homes. Callioras hopes this will become both a spring and fall activity for the campus community, since many tasks need to be done seasonally.
