So MANY thanks to Brother Jim Liska for sharing these slides with us! Who knew that scanning slides would be so time consuming! Here are some great photos taken by Brothers Jim Liska, Terry Esrael and others.
You can watch the slideshow here, or click on the images to be taken to flickr.com where you can read the descriptions as they were penned on each slide. My apologies for butchering names, some of them were hard to read. Be sure to keep an eye out for pictures of our mascot Chopper!
Participants left to right: Rob Pfisterer (Bill’s brother), Brother Joe Palmer, Brother Martin Dunbar, Brother Ken Laun, Brother Bill Pfisterer, Dave Morgan (owner of the hunting preserve).
This picture is from Brother Bill Pfisterer. He organized the hunt.
The pheasants were so fat, farm raised, that they could hardly fly. We could have probably caught them by hand. We were much slimmer and faster in those days, but much more hung over!
A big black Pheasant flew over Joe Palmer’s head, he shot at it, and put a hole right through the bird. The hole was the size of a fist, and you could see right through the hole.

Many thanks to Delta Kappa Brother Charles Wilde for sending us this great photo of the Delta Kappa House at 219 Whiton Street.
Here’s a note from Brother Charles Wilde:
“The photos is of [our] Homecoming house display at our [219] Whiton Street home. It was taken in the late 50s in a year that we played the Eau Claire State College Blue Devils. It was probably 1957 or 1958. I’m not sure if the display was a winner!”
Many thanks to Brother Terry Esrael for sending us this 1967 Lambda Chi Alpha composite. This is the 2nd ever composite of Lambda Chi Alpha at UW-Whitewater.
Check out the first composite appearance of Chopper (in the lower left corner)!

Here are the first 2 issues of The Deltan, the official Delta Kappa National Newsletter.
The Deltan Vol. 1 Issue 1 May 1958
Deltan Vol1 Num2 Dec 1958
Issue 1 has an explanation of the origins of Delta Kappa Fraternity (at Buffalo Normal School in NY). The Fraternity Motto listed: “True leadership is only possible through honorable and upright living.”
Issue 2 includes a recap of the Milton College Convention and expansion ideas. Chapter news for Chi Delta (Whitewater) mentions President Curt Klade’s efforts which led to Chi Delta’s First Place in Homecoming House Decoration & Tom Hamilton’s election as Homecoming Chair. The Chapter won the IFC scholarship placque for the 2nd year in a row and DK’s were the Presidents of the Senior, Junior and Sophomore classes! The Chapter was at a membership of 52!

Thanks to the Delta Kappa Alumni who donated so many items to the Fraternity Archive during their Summer 2008 luncheon, this is one of the many items we will continue to showcase on our website.
From the Alumni Association:
We will be having Candle Pass on Saturday night, December 13th, at 8pm at the House. All Brothers are encouraged to attend. Post RSVPs and public comments here.
Many thanks to Brother Terry Esrael for these two pins.
First, this great Chi Delta Rho Badge.
This is (what I call) a 2nd Generation Chi Delta Rho Badge, from the years of Chi Delta Rho at UW-W between the Delta Kappa generation and the beginning of Lambda Chi Alpha in 1965. It depicts the 2nd Gen. Chi Delta Rho Coat of Arms/Crest, which was very similar to the original Chi Delta Rho Crest, but was adapted to have 2 elements from the Delta Kappa Crest.
Secondly, Brother Esrael sent a Lambda Chi Alpha letters recognition pin.
Also, Terry sent 3 composites which I will be sharing with all of you, shortly! Thanks again to Brother Terry Esrael for these great submissions to the archives. If you have items you would like included in the archives, please comment here or email me at:
