uring the 2017 cycle, our scholarship
selection committee, chaired by Brother
Bill Armstrong '64, awarded six
scholarships totaling $14,500 to deserving Gamma
Delta undergraduates. These awards came from our
endowed funds managed by the OSU Foundation
and were in addition to the awards from the ΣX
Foundation. Alumni Scholarship Advisor Dr. Ken Case
'66 reports that total approved giving for the 2018 cycle
from these same (OSU Foundation) funds will more than
double to $29,780.
Buckets for Brandon
Basketball Tournament
The named scholarship will remember Brother Brandon Cavasos
'18, who lost his life in a tragic, substance abuse-related incident.
Consul Landen Peeler '19 revealed that Gamma Delta will hold
an annual Buckets for Brandon basketball tournament to fund the
commitment. The tournament will be in addition to other fundraising
efforts to benefit the Huntsman Cancer Institute and local nonprofits.
$1M Endowed Scholarship Fund Update
We are actively engaged in raising the $600K needed to reach
our goal of $1M in the ΣX Endowed Scholarship Fund at the OSU
Foundation. Thank you to everyone who contributed
to our campaign.

Leadership
John Wayne, USC '29 said, "Men join fraternities,
leaders join ΣX." We know there is a direct link
between scholarship and leadership, which is why
we are the leader among OSU fraternities in awarding
scholarships. By realizing the commitment from the
Boone Pickens Estate to match our funds and by reaching
our fundraising goal, we expect to be able to award over
$90,000 in annual scholarships. What better way to let
future brothers and their parents know that ΣX is serious about
scholarship and leadership?
Alumni and friends of the Chapter are now able to include the ΣX
Endowed Scholarship Fund in their estate planning. Please contact
David Mays at the OSU Foundation at dmays@osugiving.com for
further assistance. Please pledge, plan, and give to secure ΓΔ's
and ΣX's positions in the Greek community.
In hoc,
Ken Klein '65, Fundraising Chairman
