The alumni board met in Columbus
to discuss the future of Delta Triton.
T
he Delta Triton Alumni Board conducted their annual
strategic planning event on April 9 in Columbus,
Ohio. In-person attendees included John Lendrum '80,
Juan Fraiz '79, Tom Boldrick '83, Gregg Walbridge
'81, Todd Schatzka '88, Dave Franzman '80, Alice
Demming, and me. Chris O'Donnell '89 and Austin
Tummers '15 joined the meeting virtually via Zoom.
Key focus areas for the meeting were maintaining Delta
Triton as an active chapter on campus for the next 100
years, ensuring long-term financial stability of the house
corporation, strengthening the board and engaging alumni,
and improving the brotherhood, scholarship, and character
of our members and everyday house life.
The board left the meeting with strong alignment and
clear action plans. Two new adviser roles for risk and
financial management were approved, and three new
committees were established to manage communications,
board nominations, and charitable giving. In addition,
several new activities will be initiated to build active
alumni engagement, including a spring graduation and
awards dinner and regular Phi Sig forums covering
various topics.

ALUMNI BOARD ACTIVITY
S
imply joining Phi Sigma Kappa is not a guarantee for
success. George Borrello '89 took this message to
heart during initiation in the Delta Triton Chapter, where
he learned to be a better leader and better man through
hard work. George attended recruitment in his freshman
year at Purdue during a time of change and PSK's merger
with another fraternity. "It wasn't just about living in
the house with a bunch of your friends. It was about
the charity work that we did, the philanthropy, and the
importance of being a complete person," he said. "Part
of being a complete person is giving back and having a
diverse set of skills."
George helped develop these skills while serving as
treasurer and social chairman of Delta Triton. "It was
an important early lesson for politics," he explained.
"You need to manage all those different personalities
and situations, and as treasurer, you need to know how
to manage finances." Now as an elected New York
state senator as well as a small-business owner, those
experiences and responsibilities with Phi Sigma Kappa
gave George a strong foundation for his professional life
after college.
George's engagement on campus went beyond just his
chapter. He was involved with the Interfraternity Council
at Purdue while also serving as president for College
Republicans. Looking back, George notes one of his greatest
accomplishments was helping bring President Ronald
