A YEAR OF CHANGE
GROWTH AND ENGAGEMENT AT PHI SIGMA KAPPA
A
fter overcoming a challenging fall
semester, Delta Triton is starting a new
era in 2023. We brought in an associate class
of 11 new members in the spring, giving this
semester a heavy focus on brotherhood and
philanthropy events. Our brotherhood chairman,
Peyton Sandlin '24, planned several successful
events, including a retreat to a Southern Indiana
campground for a quality brotherhood weekend
as well as a Mom's Day.
Philanthropy Chairman Jeff Henn '24 also
put in tremendous effort to increase chapter
philanthropy. He organized our participation in
Purdue's annual Polar Plunge for the Special
Olympics. Delta Triton raised nearly $5,000,
marking the event's largest donation total. Over
the course of the semester, Jeff has helped us
raise nearly $7,000 for the Special Olympics
through numerous lemonade and hot chocolate
stands; his efforts have certainly not gone
unnoticed at Purdue.
Through this new period for the chapter, we
welcomed a new executive board. For the first
time, the chapter moved its executive board
terms to last throughout the calendar year as
opposed to the academic year.
The chapter also stepped up our alumni
engagement this semester. The newly elected
alumni relations chairman, Rowan Luppnow
'25, coordinated a dinner event for actives and
alumni. Everyone enjoyed an evening with a
gourmet dinner, connecting with past and present
generations of Delta Triton members. We look
forward to making this a new tradition!
Lastly, Delta Triton participated in the 66th
Purdue Grand Prix. Driver Ayrton Houk '26
qualified in 11th and battled back to 17th after
a first-lap multi-car crash. The chapter's Grand
Prix team worked and maintained the kart
for over a month to ensure any problems or
malfunctions were properly managed.
We are incredibly proud of our chapter's work
throughout the year and look forward to another
great school year this fall!
Fraternally,
David Weiderhaft '25
Chapter President
