do, Fla., this past August when Iowa Delta was
awarded another Buchanan Cup! e Buchanan

this award again. It shows that our hard work in
improving ourselves and our Chapter has finally
paid off," said Chapter President Dustin Casey
'18. "is only means that we need to keep im-
proving, though. Getting another Buchanan Cup

Iowa Delta Earns
Top GPA at Drake
e motto of Sigma Phi Epsilon is Building Bal-
anced Men. Here at Iowa Delta, we take each and
every aspect of being balanced seriously, especially
when it comes to our minds. In the past two
years, Drake University has changed their grading
policy to become what many would consider
more challenging. Iowa Delta faced this change
with confidence and increased the role of our VPs
of scholarship, Max Raecker '18 and Phillip Co-
peland '19. After Max and Phil changed bylaws
for the betterment of the house and increased
incentives, Iowa Delta won the Top GPA award
among all fraternities at Drake University in the
spring of 2017. We plan to continue this trend
in the future and keep the standard high here at
Iowa Delta.
