The Chapter is excited to welcome the new and returning officers:
Hayden Fay – Eminent Commander
Lian Wang – Lieutenant Commander, LEAD Chair
James Osborne – Treasurer
Carter Pierson – Recorder
Lyn Scherer – Marshal
Chris Andreou – Co-Recruitment, IFC Rep, Scholarship Chair
Jon Yeakey – Co-Recruitment
Baird Delson – Community Service and Philanthropy
Kwintyn Essex – Sentinel and Risk Reduction
Owen Griffin – House Manager and Sustainability Chair
Seth Kirby – Chaplain
Quinn Norton – Social Chair and Pindress
Lincoln Gaw – AR/Historian
The House has five returning officers, three of which took up new responsibilities. The rest of
the positions were filled with new officers, three of which were new brothers from Delta Theta’s most recent candidate class.
This is the largest executive team Delta Theta has had in a while. There is less doubling up of
positions this year, with most officers only holding one position. This means Delta Theta has more people on the leadership team.
Everyone has been successfully transitioned and is settling into their positions. The new
Lieutenant Commander Lian Wang will be meeting with the new officers to hear about their
goals and aspirations for their positions for the upcoming year.
Additionally, on April 2nd, the fraternity Delta Theta welcomed three new members into their brotherhood: Carter Pierson, Baird Delson, and Chris Andreou.
As Commander, I’m excited for this upcoming year—the new exec board will do great things.
