Delta-Delta Continues Campus Excellence…

Congratulations to Brother Michael Jordan, who was named last week as the Producer of Gator Growl 2008 by Florida Blue Key. Brother Jordan will be responsible handling all aspects of Gator Growl, the nation’s largest Homecoming celebration and student run pep rally. It is not a stretch at all to say that the Producer of Growl is one the most difficult and significant positions at the University of Florida. Brother Jordan was recently tapped into Florida Blue Key for his contributions to Gator Growl, including Associate Producer and Director of Talent Night.

Brother Seth Mollitt was also tapped for his achievements as the Grand Treasurer and Grand Master of our fraternity, his work with the IFC, and his community service in the area of Boy Scouts of America.

Florida Blue Key is the oldest and most prestigious honor society in the state. These brothers have made huge contributions to UF as well as our chapter. Please congratulate them on this achievement.

Congratulate These Brothers

Congratulations to the following brothers for winning these awards at the 2007 Greek Awards Banquet. Brother Grand Master Seth Mollitt was named IFC President of the Year and Brother Ryan Merkel was given the William E. Rion Student Involvement Award.  Congratulations to Ryan Merkel for also winning the university’s inaugural Homecoming King competition.

    Service Project with ADPi at Ronald McDonald House

    Saturday, October 13th Kappa Sigma braved the early morning to come to the rescue of Alpha Delta Pi’s philanthropy organization, Ronald McDonald House.  Our groups worked to landscape almost the entire front of the property, planting, digging trenches, mulching, and having a good time through it all.  The project was very well attended and our efforts were much appreciated by the sisters as well as the McDonald House, making our first service project a success.

    House Construction Going Quickly

    Construction continues at a fast pace on the future home of the Delta Delta Chapter. The external structure is complete, and the roof was recently shingled and is currently being sealed. Stucco work has begun on the exterior walls, and the facade of the house is being prepped for brickwork, which will begin in late July. Inside the structure, insulation, as well as the the plumbing, fire prevention, and air conditioning systems are being installed between the floors and in the roof. The stair cases are also close to being completed. The coming weeks will see more progress on electrical work, as well as installation of the walls on all floors, with drywall being hung in late August and early September.

    Construction is still set to conclude in late November, with punch-listing and inspections in December. We will move in in January!
