Change or DieOn November 4, 1834, our Fraternity was created at Williams College, in Williamstown, Mass. Th e sixth-oldest general

college men’s fraternity was formed as a protest to the secret behavior of other fraternities. It was revolutionary. Th ose men made a grand statement that great men of class and distinction do not have to hide or shun the spot-light of how men of distinction are molded and shaped.

Publicly, those men took their principles—friendship, character, liberal culture and justice—and they formed a fraternity. In one-hundred seventy-fi ve years, these enduring principles have brought men together in brotherhood to become North America’s oldest and largest non-secret fraternity. Today, our vision is to be “the premier men’s fraternity committed to Building Better Men for a global society through service, leadership development and lifelong personal growth of our diverse membership.”

Are we actually building better men?

Th e reality may be that too many of our men may live in less than desirable fraternity houses, with little to no alumni or other male mentorship or support. Getting drunk, smoking weed, snorting coke, and disrespecting young women may be more important to some young brothers than translating these enduring principles for a swiftly changing global community. We may not be achieving intellectual and cognitive development among our young brothers as we have in the past. America’s future Nobel Laureates may not come from our Fraternity.

And too many alumni may be wrapped up in nostalgic dreams of what the “house was like” when they lived there. Or they are lost in their current roles, not taking into consideration that someone sacrifi ced for them to be where they are. Th ey are too focused to give back, even in minimum ways to help guide a young brother to his maturity. Left to their own devices, the old saying becomes reality: “boys will be boys.”

What if we were given a choice of our Fraternity changing or dying? I am talking about the life and death of our Fraternity. What if several campus presidents advised us today that our chapters had to make diffi cult and enduring changes in the way young men live out fraternity life or they would be asked to leave the campus this summer?

Alan Deutschman, in his book Change or Die, poses a similar question. Deutschman concludes that although we all have the ability to change our behavior, we rarely ever do. In fact, the odds are nine to one that, when faced with the dire need to change, we won’t. From patients suff ering from heart disease to repeat off enders in the criminal justice system to companies trapped in the mold of unsuccessful business practices, many of us could prevent ominous outcomes by simply changing our mindset and resulting behavior. Explaining breakthrough research and progressive ideas from a wide selection of leaders in medicine, science, and business, Deutschman demonstrates how an individual or organization can achieve lasting, revolutionary change. It is not about merely reorganizing or restructuring priorities; it’s about challenging, inspiring, and helping all of us to make the dramatic transformations necessary in any aspect of life—changes that are positive, attainable, and absolutely vital.

I believe if our Fraternity is to survive beyond our 175th anniversary we must give serious consideration to changing, or we will die. We must recruit better men—men who sincerely prescribe to our principles—and we must do more to support their full development, guiding them to transcend the momentum of toxic masculinity while facing the challenges of life with passion, zeal, and creativity. Maybe our young brothers don’t live in houses without adult support, or maybe we do away with

houses all together. Maybe we require a certain number of hours of community service, or we develop an award system to encourage and honor creativity. Maybe we do away with summer leadership institutes in 5-star

hotels, and we spend a week of personal and leadership exploration with our brothers in a breathtakingly beautiful setting. Or maybe you have ideas you would like to share with me in an e-mail or letter.

All I know is that we need to change, or our Fraternity, and other fraternities as well, will be eliminated from the higher education community. Young men today must step forward into the global community

as courageous men without apologizing for who they are, stewarding their energy with an open heart and with great compassion to the other men, women and children around them.

On Friday, January 9, 2009, Brother Wilford A. Butler, Western Michigan ‘61 was awarded the Delta Upsilon Distinguished Alumni Award, the Fraternity’s highest honor, recognizing exemplary service to the Fraternity.

Th e award was presented in conjunction with DU’s Winter Educational Conference in Indianapolis at a Friday evening banquet held in Brother Butler’s honor. Th e presentation was made by Fraternity President, Bernard Franklin, Kansas State ‘75 and Dave Maguire, Southern Illinois ‘73.

Th e Delta Upsilon Distinguished Alumni Award recognizes and honors those who have given an extraordinary and inspirational amount of service to Delta Upsilon through their gifts of time, talent and treasure; and those who are a model for others through their involvement and dedication to DU.

When it was unveiled 25 years ago, the DU Distinguished Alumni Award was presented to seven DU Brothers. Th e award itself was the brainchild of DU’s Executive Director at that time, Wilford A. Butler. How appropriate, then, that the fi rst Distinguished Alumni Award of 2009, the 25th Anniversary of the award itself, was presented to the man who created the award.

When Brother Wilford A. Butler Jr. recited the Oath of Initiation on October 4, 1959, with the Western Michigan Chapter, he cemented his membership in the Delta Upsilon Fraternity. While an undergraduate, he was active as a chapter relations chairman, recruitment chairman and editor of the chapter newsletter. Th e Western Michigan Chapter was twice awarded the Fraternity’s award for best chapter public relations program under his personal leadership. While a student, he was also public relations director for the IFC and participated in student publications as a columnist and editor of the student newspaper.

As an alumnus, he continued to be involved as a chapter advisor, member of the chapter house corporation, secretary of the alumni club, and director of its fund-raising activities.

After graduating in 1961 from Western Michigan University with a Bachelor of Arts degree, he was a public relations director for a Michigan-based insurance company prior to being named to succeed the late Otis J. Hill, Kansas ‘50 as the General Secretary of Delta Upsilon, a position now known as Executive Director.

While Executive Director, Brother Butler also earned his Certifi ed Association Executive title, and was extremely active in the Fraternity Executives Association, serving as its President for the 1976–1977 academic year, and receiving its Distinguished Service award in 1986.

During his tenure, he served alongside seven Board Chairmen, 10 Fraternity presidents, directed more than 60 DU brothers who served under him on the IHQ staff , and led through a period of events that spanned from the administrations of President Kennedy to President Reagan. When he left the offi ce of Executive Director in 1986, Brother Butler established an IHQ service record of 24 years, which still stands today. Despite the fact of his long tenure as executive director, it was his dedication to excellence that drove the success of the Fraternity for the next twenty-four years. His accomplishments would overfl ow the pages of a novel-sized book.

Th e DU Distinguished Alumni Award has been presented to many great and inspirational DU Brothers: Dr. Linus Pauling, Oregon State ’22, the only man to win two Nobel Prizes single-handedly; Herbert Brownell, Nebraska ‘24, who served as Attorney General under President Eisenhower; Charles Evans Hughes, Colgate & Brown 1881, Former Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court; College Football Coach Lou Holtz, Kent State ‘58. Brother Butler has good company. And so do these brothers.

Th e award is much deserved by a brother who has positively aff ected the lives of many DUs, as well as positively aff ected the direction of the Fraternity, and it is proudly awarded by a humbled and grateful brotherhood.

Delta Upsilon mourns the passing of former Fraternity Board Chairman and Distinguished DU Award recipient, Brother Robert J. Edgar, Alberta ‘55.

Dignity, integrity, honesty, credibility, statesman, friendship, character, culture, justice—these are all words that describe Brother Robert J. Edgar. It is with great sadness that the Fraternity has learned of the passing of our former DU Fraternity Chairman and Distinguished Alumni Award recipient. Brother Edgar quietly passed away Friday, August 29, 2008, in Edmonton, Alberta, at the age of 78. He had been in ill health for the last couple of years.

Bob Edgar stood tall in the DU brotherhood for many years. To DUs everywhere he was a model brother and a true gentleman. In Alberta, he’s been described as a legend.

Edgar was born August 3, 1930, in the town of Innisfail, Alberta. He was actively involved in many leadership positions at Red Deer Composite High School in Red Deer, Alberta, before enrolling at the University of Alberta, where he subsequently joined Delta Upsilon in the fall of 1951.

In addition to his roles in recruitment, public relations, and as secretary of the Alberta Chapter, as an undergraduate he also served as:

President of Club Red Deer• Business manager for Varsity guest weekend, later • serving as chairmanVice-President of the Pharmacy Club• Pharmacy representative on student council• President of the University of Alberta Student • Council for the 1954-55 academic year.

After college, Brother Edgar settled into his career as a pharmacist, and worked for a number of years for the Alberta Government’s Consumer and Corporate Aff airs as director of research.

Outside of his career as a pharmacist he was:A member of the University of Alberta Senate for • three separate termsPresident of the Canadian Pharmaceutical • AssociationPresident of the University of Alberta Alumni • AssociationPresident of the Alberta Association for Children • with Learning DisabilitiesMember of the Board of Directors of the Edmonton • Art GalleryChairman of the Board of Directors of the Edmonton • AcademyMember of the Board of Directors of the Northwest • Drug Company, and

Member of the Board of Governors for the University • of Alberta.

University, philanthropy, career, and community service were all a part of the heart of Bob Edgar. Th roughout his volunteer service, however, Delta Upsilon always remained in the front of his mind. One DU brother said, “It was amazing to see such an incredible gentleman so dedicated to his fraternal roots. He was an inspiration to the brothers of Alberta, and throughout the entire Brotherhood. He was one-of-a-kind.”

In DU, Edgar served as:Director and later President of the Alberta Chapter • Building SocietyPresident’s deputy of the International Fraternity for • seven yearsTrustee of the Former DU Canadian Foundation• Member of the Board of Directors of the International • FraternityVice President of the Board of Directors of the • International FraternityChairman of the Board of Directors of the Fraternity • from 1993 to 1995.

Had all of this information not been able to be extracted, the world may never have known about Bob Edgar’s lifetime of service and involvement. Edgar was never concerned about position, titles, or accolades. He cared about people. He went about his activities in a manner that was the model of professionalism and gentlemanly charm. He was as unpretentious and giving as they come. He was genuine.

Brother Allan Warrack, Alberta ‘61 said of Edgar, “In all of his activities, whether as an undergraduate or alumnus, I have admired how Bob has never sought the spotlight. He has quietly and eff ectively implemented programs, always allowing others to receive the credit.”

In the history of the Alberta Chapter, and the Fraternity as a whole, only a handful of brothers have done as much to ensure success as Bob Edgar. He was a role model for undergraduate and alumni members alike. In 2001, he was presented with the Fraternity’s highest honor, the Delta Upsilon Distinguished Alumni Award.

Brother Edgar had been in ill health for the last few years, suff ering from the eff ects of Parkinson’s Disease. With his passing, Delta Upsilon has lost one of its fi nest gentlemen. He will be sorely and greatly missed by his wife Eleanor and son Donald, Alberta ‘87, and by a host of friends and DU brothers.

Brother Cantor became president of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) Investment Bank; he then was appointed president and CEO of Confederation Life, and later the same position for National Trust. Next he was the founding executive director of the Toronto International Leadership Centre for Financial Sector Supervision—a joint venture of the World Bank, the Government of Canada, and York University.

Dr. Joseph Marinelli, Florida ‘65, won a national educational honor in 2008. He was awarded the Association of Education Service Agencies (AESA) Justus A. Prentice Award, the highest award AESA presents to one of its members. Th e Justus A. Prentice Award is presented periodically to a chief executive offi cer who has made outstanding contributions through executive leadership in the advancement of regional education service agency programs at the regional, state, and national levels. Marinelli was honored for carrying out federal policy and programs and for the service he has provided on behalf of educational service agencies (ESAs) across the nation. In the United States, there are more than 620 ESAs or BOCES-like agencies in 42 states.

Marinelli was a member of the AESA Board of Directors for seven years and president of the Association in 2002-2003, during which time he authored AESA’s Strategic Th inking, Planning and Implementation Guidelines and Timelines. He also authored AESA’s Policy on Committees including standing committees and sub committees.

He played an active role in AESA’s federal presence over the past decade chairing the Legislative Committee, now known as the Gov ernmental Relations Committee, from its creation in 1997 through 2003. Marinelli led the creation of AESA’s strategic initiative on federal advocacy in 1999, continued as New York’s committee member through 2005 and was instrumental in developing the committee’s work to defi ne ESAs in all laws related to education. He chaired the fi rst three AESA sponsored federal legislative conferences beginning in 2000 when it became the proactive “Educators Call to Action: Federal Advocacy Conference.” Marinelli has been a spokesperson and a leader of delegations of ESA state leaders who met with the U.S. Secretary of Education to promote ESAs and their role in supporting local district eff orts to improve student performance.

He received the Distinguished Service to Youth Award from the Finger Lakes Council, Boy Scouts of America in 2005 and the Distinguished Citizen Award in 2008 for a four-county region of the Finger Lakes.

With a Kennedy Space Center career spanning more than 40 years, Deputy Chief Counsel Douglas Hendriksen, Florida ‘61, received NASA’s highest employee honor, the NASA Distinguished Service Medal, during a ceremony in Washington, D.C.

Hendriksen was recognized “for his extraordinary legal

career with the Offi ce of the Chief Counsel” at Kennedy Space Center (KSC).

Th ough Hendriksen interviewed with several law fi rms, his career with NASA began when he was hired as a procurement attorney in 1967 after the Apollo 1 fi re. He has remained with the Offi ce of the Chief Counsel ever since.

His primary responsibilities include government procurement law advice and serving on more than 40 source evaluation and mishap boards.

KSC Chief Counsel Jerald Stubbs said Hendriksen works tirelessly to advance NASA’s goals and objectives through proactive legal services.

“His many contributions include numerous source selections to provide NASA with needed launch support and base operating services and projects,” Stubbs said. “Th e success of KSC’s Visitor Complex owes much to Hendriksen’s development of novel legal arrangements.”

H e n d r i k s e n ’ s interests outside of KSC include several philanthropic endeavors.

By Brandon Busteed, CEO of Outside Th e Classroom

I became Greek when I was 28, roughly 10 years later than most who do so. I attended a top-ranked university with a large Greek population, was a Division I athlete, and was class president. My father was Greek; he was president of a local fraternity that went national under his tenure and years later he served on their international board. In many respects, I should have been a perfect candidate for Greek-letter membership when I set foot in college. But I never even gave it a single consideration. Why? All I saw in Greek organizations was drinking – a lot of it. And I didn’t care to have any part of it. So I didn’t.

I remember my senior year when a national organization was trying to re-colonize at my university, and I was sought out to be the founding president to help “build a new kind of Greek chapter” on campus, one without a focus on partying. I considered it, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I fi gured that my limited time left on campus would have little impact on the development of a new chapter, and I couldn’t bear the thought of putting my stamp of approval on a group that I imagined could go astray quickly.

In the time since I graduated from college, I have built a career in higher education policy and public health related to the “binge” drinking issue. As the founder and CEO of Outside Th e Classroom, developers of AlcoholEdu, I’m now at least partially responsible for the education of 1.5 million college students to date, including 32 percent of all the freshmen in America this past fall. I can’t say that I ever intended to make this a career, and it certainly isn’t the sexiest work around, but it is the most fascinating challenge I could have ever undertaken. Before I go any further, let me be clear that I’m no teetotaler. I do drink alcohol. But I didn’t have my fi rst drink until a month before my 22nd birthday, eff ectively graduating from high school and college without ever drinking. To this day, I view that choice as one of the best I could have made.

To be truthful, when I embarked on this work, I had a pretty negative outlook about the ability of Greek-letter organizations to fundamentally shed the image of drunken social clubs. I heard a statistic that was pretty hard to believe: men’s fraternities are the second riskiest organizations to insure in the world, behind only hazardous waste disposal

companies. Ouch. But before you begin thinking this is going to be yet another article espousing a negative attitude toward Greeks and their use of alcohol, I’m going to surprise you. In fact, I’m going to fundamentally alter your view of the “binge” drinking issue and Greek-letter organizations. Because, you see, I’ve altered mine. And that statement can’t be taken very lightly given that Outside Th e Classroom sits atop the world’s largest database on college students and their use of alcohol.

Why did I become Greek at age 28? And why do I write this article now? Because I see incredibly promising signs of success within and across Greek-letter organizations on a national level. Th ese signs point to hard work on behalf of national leaders and undergraduates. Th ey point to a new breed of student coming to college campuses. Th ey point to a new vision – dare I say the original vision – of Greek-letter organizations. And they tell us all we better get on board the train lest we get passed by.

Before I tell you about the promising signs and their implications, it’s very important that we all consider the still painful reality of Greeks and alcohol. Greek students drink more than non-Greeks, and fraternity houses are still the riskiest of all housing options on campus. We cannot hide from these facts. Th ey should be motivation to continue our good work. But that’s where the pessimism and negativity ends. Let me show you what promise lies ahead:

• Since 2003, the Greek-letter organizations using AlcoholEdu with all their new members (which include some 2,300 chapters nationwide, or about 50 percent of all Greeks) have reduced binge drinking by a whopping 28.3 percent.

• Th ough the binge rate of Greeks is still higher than the average college student population, the respective rates are now very close – 48 percent vs. 44 percent, respectively. When the Harvard School of Public Health last ran their national drinking survey in 2001, the Greek rate was in the low to mid-60 percent range.

• Living in a fraternity or sorority house is more protective of a student’s choice NOT to drink than living in regular dorms or – get this – substance-free halls.

Promising indeed. So, you might ask: what’s going on

here and why are we seeing these new trends? First, there is a simple supply and demand answer. In the past fi ve years, there have been an increasing number of students coming to college as non-drinkers. In order for any student organization (including Greek ones) to be successful in recruiting the best members, they have to recognize the market demographics and demands of the pool they recruit from…and cater to it. With more non-drinkers coming to college, fraternities and sororities need to hone their marketing to a new breed of

student and make some real changes to their organizations to accommodate them.

Second, the same attributes of Greek-letter organizations that drive unhealthy behaviors are actually strengths when it comes to driving healthy behaviors. Close-knit social ties and friendships, shared living quarters, and naturally competitive instincts all drive high-risk drinking. Th ey also can achieve the opposite – an encouragement of change and a healthy relationship with alcohol, including no relationship at all with alcohol. In fact, in surveys we’ve conducted asking college students about their most memorable

and meaningful social experiences, the vast majority describe intensive time with friends that had nothing to do with drinking. When we achieve real brotherhood, it’s about deep, meaningful relationships, not surface ones propped up by alcohol. Real brotherhood is supportive of the choices of fellow brothers. When a non-drinker joins a fraternity, he is supported in that decision – at least more so than if he lives in a regular dorm or even a substance-free hall. On the surface, it’s hard to believe. But when you think about, it makes a lot of sense. Real friendships make a diff erence.

Th ird, making a dent in the binge drinking issue on college campuses is actually easier than we’ve ever believed. A considerable amount of research has uncovered what I believe is the key to tackling this issue. It’s something called the “prevention paradox,” and what it says is that the majority of negative consequences from drinking DO NOT come from the highest risk drinkers. Students in the light, moderate, or infrequent binge drinker categories account for more negative consequences (such as fi ghts, injuries, property damage, and ER visits) than do frequent heavy drinkers.

level, a student who drinks 10 drinks is indeed at more risk than a student who drinks fi ve. Here’s the twist: on the average campus, there are three times more students who drink at the fi ve-drink level than the 10-drink level. And as we all know, fi ve drinks of alcohol still carries some risk. So the sheer numbers add up to the “moderate” drinkers creating more problems overall.

Here’s the really cool part, though: very small changes in the choices of moderate drinkers make a bigger impact than very big changes in the choices of frequent binge drinkers. In other words, someone reducing their drinking from 5 drinks to 4 is actually reducing their risk more than someone reducing their drinking from 15 drinks to 10. Th e point is that 10 drinks is still very risky, but the “hockey stick” part of the risk curve occurs around the 5-drink range. Whether it’s drinking four light beers instead of four shots of liquor, having four drinks in four hours as opposed to one hour, or alternating your drinks with non-alcoholic beverages, those seemingly small choices make big diff erences for you and the entire campus community. I fi nd it to be a very encouraging thought that tackling this issue is about getting moderate drinkers (who are certainly rational people) to make modest changes in their drinking.

Th e rise in non-drinkers coming to college, the natural attributes of Greek-letter organizations, and the prevention paradox all explain why Greeks are making progress. But the core explanation is that they have made a real eff ort to change. With strong risk-management policies and training, values-based education and mentorship, and programs like AlcoholEdu, progress is being made rather quickly. In fact, Greeks are leading the charge at this stage of things.

In January of this year, leaders from various men’s and women’s fraternities, including Wynn Smiley, CEO of Alpha Tau Omega; Marilyn Fordham, National Panhellenic Conference Delegate, Delta Gamma Fraternity; Cari Cook, Executive Director of Delta Delta Delta; and Tom Goodale, former Executive Director of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, held a summit at Outside Th e Classroom to discuss next steps. Th ose steps included the creation of an entirely new program for Greek-letter organizations, called GreekLifeEdu which is used by Delta Upsilon and other national organizations, many of which are represented on your campus. It builds on the great foundation of AlcoholEdu and adds key components around sexual assault and hazing prevention. Th e leadership of these participants is indicative of the leadership taken across Greek organizations to address these issues. And like

the promising trends we are seeing, they give me great hope that things are moving in a decidedly better, more positive direction when it comes to Greeks and alcohol.

In terms of what this all means for a Greek community, a chapter, or an individual member, I think it boils down to a few simple opportunities. Th e fi rst is to recruit and retain more members who do not want alcohol to be a defi ning part of their college experience. It will soon be a competitive advantage to your chapters to have more members like this. Th e second opportunity is to re-brand Greek membership – away from the alcohol-fueled image of “Animal House” and toward a point of being cited by college students as their most memorable and meaningful relationship or experience. Th e fi nal opportunity lies in appreciating that behaviors can change, if we focus on the middle of the bell curve. Don’t let the extremes in our chapters drive what we do. Th ere will always be “that guy.” But “that guy” doesn’t need to set the standard for the entire organization, nor does the chapter leadership need to cater to him and his often very loud, but very minority opinions. Th e majority of our membership includes sensible people who want to succeed in life, want to do the right thing, want to fi nd their passion in life, and seek meaning in their relationships, study, and work. If we stay focused on them, the extremes will soon become a thing of the past.

And, like me, becoming Greek post-college, I say better late than never!

You can help to protect Delta Upsilon Fraternity’s heritage.

As an initiated member of Delta Upsilon, you appreciate the signifi cance of the name and symbols of Delta Upsilon. To protect the integrity of our name, Delta Upsilon registered our marks with the United States Patent and Trademark Offi ce. Th ese marks include the name “Delta Upsilon,” Greek letters, and coat of arms, among others.

Protecting our name is our right and our responsibility. It is a right and responsibility recognized by the courts. In April, 2000 a District Court ruled that fraternities and sororities have the right to enforce and protect their registered marks. For years, companies selling merchandise bearing the logo or symbols of a university, professional sports team or

organization had to have permission to use those logos or symbols because they were recognized as the “trigger mechanism for sale of the product.” In the early 1980s, some courts refused to recognize that fraternities and sororities should have the same right to protect their marks. But, that has all changed now!

Delta Upsilon is using the fuel from the court’s recent decisions to join numerous other Greek organizations in trademark protection. We have formed an alliance with Affi nity Consultants, experts in administering comprehensive licensing programs for Greek organizations. Th eir goal is to license a variety of companies who provide quality licensed Delta Upsilon products at reasonable prices and with exceptional service. We currently have a large number of reputable vendors, off ering products and services such as jewelry, apparel and stationery.

Delta Upsilon has introduced a link to www.GreekLicensing.com, where you’ll be able to locate the complete list of our licensed vendors and search for specifi c products. You’ll be able to browse through those vendors’ online catalogs as well. Th is site will be updated frequently, as our roster of licensed vendors will continue to grow and the variety of quality products available to you will increase.

You can also request a quote for custom screen printing orders through www.GreekQuote.com. It’s a simple 4-step process. To learn more, please visit www.GreekQuote.com.

You associate great memories with Delta Upsilon and its symbols; your initiation, a retreat, and alumni events. To preserve those memories, and stop companies who misuse Delta Upsilon’s symbols for personal profi t because they are not familiar with the true meaning of the Delta Upsilon mission, we must take a stand. By refusing to purchase products that do not carry the Greek Licensed Product seal, we can ensure “Delta Upsilon” always stands for quality.

If you have questions about licensing, or want more information on how to get your local vendor and campus bookstore licensed, please contact [email protected] or call 607.753.6284.

Basketball Beyond Borders

Delta Upsilon Brothers Honor Their Heritage on

Afghanistan National Basketball Team

Th ink of the pride, honor and distinction of having the opportunity to put on a uniform to compete as a member of your country’s basketball team. Now imagine that your country hasn’t fi elded an international basketball team for nearly 20 years, as it has been torn apart by war and you’re given the honor to be apart of this historic eff ort to play in the Asian games in 2010. Two Delta Upsilon brothers don’t have to imagine this once seemingly impossible dream: Qais Haider, San Jose ‘10 and Safi Mojaddidi, San Jose ‘10 are both members of the Afghanistan National Basketball Team.

Following a 20-year hiatus due to Taliban rule and the war between the United States and Taliban forces within the country, Afghanistan is beginning to rebuild its international sports presence. Many citizens and athletes fl ed the country during the last two decades and have emigrated to other countries, including signifi cant settlements in the United States. Due to the ongoing war, there is little or no safety for athletes to train and compete in their homeland, so in 2006 Naser Shahalemi began identifying Afghan athletes residing in the U.S. and puting together a National team.

International rules allow athletes to compete for their country of birth, their parent’s country of birth and in some instances their grandparents’ country of birth. As we’ve seen in

recent Olympics, this rule is used by many countries as many Americans take advantage of the opportunity to play on the international stage while balancing their U.S. citizenship and ethnic backgrounds.

In May of 2007, Coach Mamo Rafi q took over the team and began to scour the U.S. to identify additional players who played at a high enough level for international competition.

Based in California, the Afghanistan National Basketball team plays the majority of their games in the Golden State and many members live there. As they build the team, players hope to someday travel to Afghanistan and play a true home game. Until that time arrives, their greatest priorities are providing the Afghan community with a source of pride and giving young Afghan-American basketball players an opportunity to represent their culture on the international level.

Qais Hadier was born in the United States following his parents’ immigration in the 1980s to escape the Afghan war with Russia. Safi Mojaddidi was born in Afghanistan and emigrated to the U.S. with his parents shortly after his birth. Both men are now are dual citizens of the United States and Afghanistan. Th ey grew up in a tight knit Afghan community in the San Francisco Bay area and in strongly religious Muslim households. Th e Afghan community takes great pride in their

ethnic heritage and commitment to strong family values. Th ey instill this pride in their children and teach them to appreciate the great opportunities the move to the United States gave them. Qais and Safi were encouraged to embrace American culture and seek out the American dream while still living to the principles of Islam and honoring their Afghan roots.

As teenage men of Afghan descent living the U.S., Qais and Safi were both faced with exposure to taunts, hatred and suspicion following the events of September 11, 2001. Th ey saw fi rst hand how their entire community was looked at diff erently wherever they went. Sometimes the looks were simply inquisitive, and at other times they could feel the misplaced hatred. As they entered high school, they turned to basketball as their way of bridging the gaps in understanding and communication between them and their classmates. While the scrutiny their community faced from their fellow U.S. citizens at times took its toll, they remained proud of their ethnic heritage and did their best to educate their teammates, friends and classmates about the diff erences between the Afghan people and the Taliban.

Following their high school careers Qais and Safi , along with Joe Momand, San Jose ’08 began playing on a club basketball team based in Fremont, California. Th eir club team competed in regional basketball tournaments around the U.S. After winning a number of major tournaments in California, Washington, D.C. and Virginia, they caught the attention of Coach Mamo Rafi q as he was searching for the best Afghan basketball players in the U.S.

In the fall of 2006 Qais, Safi and Joe were all attending San Jose State University together when they were introduced to Delta Upsilon; at DU they found a group of brothers who didn’t judge them for their religious or ethnic backgrounds, but instead demonstrated the DU principle of the diff usion of liberal culture. Th e decision to join the fraternity wasn’t an easy one for Qais or Safi as each faced a signifi cant challenge in overcoming the stereotypes their parents had of fraternities. Th ey tackled general cross-cultural issues in explaining to their parents what a fraternity is, and why it is worth the time, eff ort and cost to join. Working through these issues, they took on joining DU with the same determination and tenacity as they did basketball and each would go on to hold executive offi ces in the San Jose Chapter.

In spring of 2007, Safi , a 6’1’’ point guard and the chapter vice president of public relations, was invited to try out for the Afghanistan National Basketball Team. He made the team and played a series of games up and down California against colleges and high-level club teams. Coach Rafi q recalled the fi rst game Safi played in the San Francisco Bay Area, where Safi ’s DU brothers were able to come to the game. “I was really happy about the support the team received from the fraternity members. To have people like that care about a member of the team and to cheer for an Afghanistan team playing a game in the U.S. was incredible.” Seeing an Afghan-American create such strong connections with his fellow students at San Jose State University meant a lot to Coach Rafi q and Safi ’s teammates. Safi remembers the game fondly as more than 40 of brothers showed up to cheer for the Afghanistan team. Never did he, his family or his teammates imagine that so many people would show up to support a team representing Afghanistan playing in the U.S.

Th is last fall, Qais, a 6’4” power forward joined Safi on the Afghanistan National Basketball team as they begin to prepare the team to play in the 2010 Asian games. Qais, in discussing putting on the Afghanistan uniform for the

fi rst time, said “to represent your country is an honor that is beyond words, just to put on that jersey every game that says ‘Afghanistan’ was an amazing feeling.”

“At the same time,” Qais said, “there is a lot of pressure to do well and play well as we are representing not only ourselves and our families, but our community and country. As a team, we try to use that pressure as motivation to become better both as individual players and as a team. In practice, Coach Rafi q does an excellent job of pushing us to our limits so we can get a little better every day. I feel that we are constantly getting better as a team, and over time with a lot of hard work I feel that we can be a legitimate threat to qualify for the Olympics.”

Qais’ parents also share in his excitement. “My parents were very proud when they saw me in my Afghanistan jersey,” he said. “Th ey both know how hard I have worked and how much I wanted this, so they were very happy and excited for me. Th eir support helped me get to where I am as a basketball player and as a person today.” He added that his parents, while nervous about the attention that he was drawing upon himself, were very proud that their son had given so much pride and inspiration to their community.

As for Brother Momand, he found his calling not in basketball but in law school and hopes to some day work to help with the eff orts to rebuild Afghanistan’s government and infrastructure.

Coach Rafi q believes that in their on-court contributions, what Qais and Safi really bring to the team is that they are incredibly hard-nosed and tenacious competitors who never back down to a challenge. Th is attitude rubs off on the rest of the team and helps make the entire team stronger. Individually, Qais is a great vocal leader and when he comes into a game he raises the whole level of play of everyone because of his work ethic, while the more soft-spoken Safi brings his intensity and focus to the court sets the example for everyone else to never let down.

When putting on the uniform, Qais also talked about the importance and responsibility he has representing his culture and community, and he at times refl ects on all the Afghan athletes who were unable to have such an honor due the Taliban rule, or the war; and tries to play with a passion and heart that would make them proud. Th ese brothers carry on their shoulders not only the responsibility of playing at a high level when representing Afghanistan, but they also carry the hopes and dreams of a nation that

has seen its population devastated and dispersed as refugees around the world.

When asked about balancing their U.S. citizenship and playing for Afghanistan, both Qais and Safi are quick to point out that they have great pride in being Americans but that they have an ethnic and cultural responsibility as Afghan-Americans to show the world that the Afghan people are resilient. Th ey also feel the need to be role models not only to the Afghan people who still live their day-to-day lives with threats of Taliban suppression, but to the Afghan throughout the world who still face the day-to-day scrutiny in their new countries from individuals who do not understand their culture.

As brothers, athletes and role models Qais Haider and Safi Mojaddidi exemplify Delta Upsilon’s principle of “Promotion of Liberal Culture” as they carry immense pride in being members of the fraternity, while also balancing their commitments to their religion, their culture and their ethnicity.

And as Delta Upsilon embraces the diversity found on our college campuses and continues to strive to break down the barriers that in the past have prevented or discouraged the true diff usion of liberal cultures, we can truly build better men.
