He served as president from 1988 to 2001 and has served as a chairman of the board since 1998. Gamma-Rho has been richly blessed with alumni who are dedicated to the brothers' successes, like Don Sherman. "I joined the Chapter as a pledge in my freshman year, one of 20 in the pledge class. The house held 40 men at the time and I moved into the house in 1954, which was the year that the new addition was built. I was fortunate to live in the new addition as a junior and senior. Afterwards, I had the privilege of serving as the Chapter adviser for eight years, and during one of those the brothers received the Grand High Alpha Award. I became the Chapter adviser because I loved Lambda Chi Alpha and have always found it to be rewarding to work with young people. Our Chapter members have always evolved around values with quality attracting quality." Brother Sherman received Lambda Chi Alpha's highest alumni award, the Order of Merit, in 1990. He has also served on the Lambda Chi Alpha Educational Foundation Board. In honor of Brother Sherman's dedication to Gamma-Rho Zeta, the Chapter honored him in February at the Ozark Conclave closing banquet, which was hosted at the Sam Noble Museum in Norman, Oklahoma. Current High Pi and 2008 Order of Merit recipient, Rodger Lalli, ΓΡ 1894, spoke highly of Don's dedication to a "lifetime of brotherhood" to more than 100 Lambda Chi Alpha undergraduates from Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, and Oklahoma. Thank you, Don, for your devotion and dedicated service to the preservation of our Lambda Chi values and growth of our Chapter.
