Delta Sigma Phi’s 59th Biennial Convention ended this weekend in St. Louis. The staff spent the day in St. Louis yesterday to recuperate. We packed all our stuff up today before making the drive back. This week I’ll post a few behind the scenes photos and videos later this week. If you are interested in some of Bruce Hammond’s great blog posts recapping Convention, you can view them here. Regular updates will continue starting tomorrow.
This post is a collection of all of the known members of Delta Sigma Phi on Twitter. Updates made are listed at the bottom of the page. If you would like to be added to the page leave a note in the comments. I will try to keep this as up to date as possible. You should add yourself to the We Follow directory, once enough people are utilizing that directory I won’t have to update this page as often. I highly recommend you follow me on twitter @kylelibra, you will get added to the list more quickly that way.

Admittedly this is probably not the worst entry ever, but it is pretty bad. By bad I mean totally unnecessary. This can be found near the bottom of this page.
Update: Entry has since been fixed.
This post will probably only be relevant for some of the readers. Being in a fraternity at Transylvania University was a great experience. I would even say it was essential to get everything out of the college experience. Currently I work for the National Headquarter of Delta Sigma Phi. This allows me to occasionally come by some interesting information. Most of this information isn’t stuff I can post online. However, this morning I came across a copy of Baird’s Manual of American College Fraternities. I promptly scanned (poorly) and uploaded one of my favorite entries. It turns out Greek Life at Transylvania dates back to before the Civil War.
The boys at Beta Mu picked up 24 pledges this afternoon. This makes me very happy. When I think about the fraternity 24/7 because it is literally my job, it is tough not be involved with my own chapter. It is great to see that they are still doing well. Below is a picture of the Senior entrance with ‘Gate driving. I guess this partly explains Transy being #4 on this list.
A lot of people ask me what I do now that I have graduated. For those of you who are not aware, I work as a Regional Director for Delta Sigma Phi fraternity based out of Indianapolis. I travel about 75% of the time to different chapters around the country and try to help them as best I can. Technically I am responsible for “providing training in fraternity operations and risk management to the organization’s chapters and colonies in specific regions of the country.” You can view my official profile here. For those of you who know me well, you will probably find it funny.
Below is a map of the chapters I have in my regions. (click to enlarge)
For those of you who are not aware, Steve Banfield, is an alumnus of the Beta Mu Chapter of Delta Sigma Phi. He donated a large sum of money to get a scholarship fund started for the chapter to help us keep our grades as high as possible. Being a technologically savvy person, he is on Twitter. Recently he sent out a tweet asking who wanted to be followers number 599 and 600. I will admit that I am jealous he has so many followers, but if there are any Delta Sigs out there who want to know what he is up to, subscribe to his tweets here. I’m guessing he will break the 600 mark fairly quickly.
