Jack Palla '22 Receives the
Province Balfour Award
G
amma Delta Chapter would like to
congratulate Jack Palla '22 of Clovis,
New Mexico, as the Oklahoma/Arkansas
Province Balfour Award recipient.
The Province Balfour Award recognizes the
most outstanding graduate from the Fraternity
within the Oklahoma/Arkansas province. Jack
has been extremely active in the Chapter,
serving as risk manager, Homecoming director,
pro consul, and consul.
Jack graduated this spring with
degrees in both animal science
and agribusiness. He has made
several triumphs that reinforce
his exemplary attitude,
including being selected as
a senior of significance by
the Ferguson College of Agriculture, serving
as an ambassador for the Ferguson College
of Agriculture, working as a mentor through
the McKnight Scholar Leadership Program,
and being chosen to serve on the Oklahoma
Agricultural Leadership Encounter.
Jack is now eligible for the Fraternity's
International Balfour Award, which will
be awarded this summer at the Krach
Transformational Leadership Workshop. Keep
up the fantastic work, Jack!
Our Potential Is Endless
House Corporation Strategizes the Future of Gamma Delta
T
he Gamma Delta Chapter House Corporation has had the pleasure of partaking in an
eventful 2021-22 academic year. In the midst of it all, we have greatly considered
opportunities that will make our men better than when they found us.
We recently hired a new housemother, Claudia Johnson-Curtis, who has quickly caught up to
speed with our operations and settled in as a steadying presence for the undergraduate. This
follows the retirement of Debbie Sutton, who served for more than 18 years. We will miss
Mom Sutton, but we are lucky to welcome Claudia. Claudia will undoubtedly provide men
the guidance and feedback they seek as they navigate their undergraduate experience.
As previously communicated, the House Corporation is actively exploring the possible
construction of a new Chapter house. As this is a monumental decision and there are
numerous factors to consider, we are approaching the matter diligently and carefully.
Hopefully, we will have a plan in place this fall that we can share with everyone.
Unsurprisingly, the undergraduates continue to achieve at a high level. They concluded
another year with outstanding rankings on campus in their academics and reputable work in
philanthropy. We are looking forward to their next achievements. In the meantime, we wish
you a joyful summer, and we hope to see you soon.
In hoc,
Whit Culver '01
President
Gamma Delta House Corporation
