Howdy there, Deltas! It’s ol’ *dlbwck* again with a blog update on the house. As the weather has warmed and the trees have regained their leafy greens, the brotherhood, too, has grown. By four members, no less!
Read on to see what else the active brothers have achieved during Spring 2025 *dlbwck!*
New Brothers Celebrate Their First Semester
April was a month of mirth for dear ol’ Delta Psi, as the active brothers welcomed back alumni to celebrate another successful semester at Linfield.
Alumni and actives and *dlbwck!* alike created a great environment over Brotherhood Week, touring campus, working on house projects, playing games both video and tabletop, passing down fraternal folklore and making new memories in the house.
It was all capped off by a celebration for Brothers Purple, Loki, Sir Picante🌶️ and Who? as they walked through the doors of Delta Psi Delta amid the cheers of their newfound brothers.
A big thank you goes out to alumni Hannibal, Orwell, Pulzer, Galahad, Cupid, Mr. Piccolo, Lynx, Histrionic and more for taking time out of their busy schedules to come visit their old pal *dlbwck!*
Deltas Dance On for Greek Week
Due to a fluke in scheduling, the brothers were also active participants in the Linfield University’s annual Greek Week. The week highlighted the Greek Life system of Linfield University and paired up the brothers of Delta Psi Delta with the sisters of Sigma Kappa Phi and Phi Sigma Sigma for the crowning event, Lip Sync.
Together, brothers and sisters of the three organizations were on fire for Lip Sync and entertained the crowd at the Ted Wilson Gymnasium. They sang “Only Girl in the World” by Rihanna, “Get On the Floor” by Jennifer Lopez, and “Fancy” by Iggy Azalea (among others), and won second place. Well done, all!
Both President Salem “Stanford Pines” McCants and Logan “Sir Snax-a-lot” Frazier Smith were also inducted into the Order of Omega, Linfield’s very own Greek Life honor society for their outstanding work inside and outside fraternity life.
Salem is a top student in Linfield’s psychology department while Logan has routinely worked as a volunteer firefighter in his native California during the summer. Both have been fantastic representatives for Delta Psi Delta, and we are so proud to see them receive recognition from the school.
Take a gander at some of the photos from Lip Sync taking by Philanthrophy Chair, Sam “Mr. Kitty” Ruder!
Deltas Dunk Down For the Trevor Project
It’s not just been all fun and games, the brothers have had a successful semester of philanthropy as well!
Together with the help of students from Linfield and the alumni, the brothers were also able to raise $300 during their annual “Dunk a Delta” day to help the Trevor Project continue its mission of mental health care and suicide prevention for the LGBTQ+ community.
They did so by, wait a minute… *checks notes*…playing games. Well, ol’ *dlbwck!* couldn’t have come up with a better way to spread some joy, anyhoo!
Brothers poised themselves for a bit of wet and wild fun by entering a dunk tank set up in between the Riley Center and Walker Hall. The weather even cooperated by giving them plenty of rain to ensure water never left the tank *dlbwckian snickers*.
Last Clucks and Care Packages
But that’s not all; over the course of Spring 2025, the brothers also hosted Monday Movie Nights and Finals Week Care Packages to raise approximately $500 dollars for the Save the Delta House Fund!
It cannot be overstated how much thought and effort the brothers have put into their commitments to studies, the house and each other. Without them, Delta Psi Delta would not continue to thrive as a place where all students can find community on the Linfield Campus.
Ol’ *dlbwck* can’t help but get clucked up watching them knock another semester, right out the park.
