D
ale Jewett '47 decided to join Epsilon Omicron when a few of
his classmates also decided to make the pledge. At 90 years old,
Dale remembers his collegiate experience favorably
with the sheer amount of solidarity that was demonstrated
with his induction into the fraternity. He discussed the sense
of camaraderie and fellowship that ultimately enhanced his
college experience for the better.
As an undergraduate, Dale studied mechanical engineering
and graduated with his bachelor of science degree in 1950.
He used his educational background throughout his career
as a petroleum engineer and retired in 1992 from Gould Oil,
Inc., where he served as a vice president petroleum engineer.
The most important element of Dale's experience with the
Chapter was the overwhelming sense of friendship and the quality of
relationships that he built with his brothers. "My best man in my wedding
was actually one of my Alpha Tau Omega brothers," he said. Dale shared
that some of his favorite memories include when he would travel with
his brothers to Tulsa, Okla., for weekend trips since many of his brothers
lived close to the University. "It was a different time," Dale recalled.
Before going to college, Dale was enlisted in the military
during World War II and was anticipating his deployment at
boot camp when the atomic bombs were dropped in Japan
in 1945.
During his time as an undergraduate member of Epsilon
Omicron Chapter, Dale also learned the importance of
communication and working with others. "The Chapter
taught me how to properly socialize," Dale stated. With
numerous social events and formal dinners, Dale and his
brothers learned how to work together and cooperate with
diverse groups of people.
Dale lives in Hutchinson, Kan., and enjoys flying his small airplane,
fishing, and spending time with his family. Dale and his wife, Avril, have
five children. If you would like to reconnect with Dale, you can reach him
