Current • The chapter and the house are now closed - Neither were sustainable, at least not to our higher standards • We plan to reopen the chapter and have a permanent property on campus, but this will require alumni effort and support • The value of the property is considerably higher than believed; we are exploring options to monetize, and avoid asking alumni for any monetary support at this time (other than regular dues) • Time is of the essence, and critical decisions will be made soon which will set the course for the future of the chapter and house - The board will be focused on running two simultaneous processes – 1) Rebuilding a great chapter and 2) Optimize the house • We will make some tough decisions on the future of 310 E. John, which may include selling a portion of the land OR selling / moving the house to another location • If you want to be part of the decision process, join the Alumni board - We need people with the time, effort and energy to make this work - Train is leaving the station, if you have any thoughts or feedback, now is the time to speak up 4

The Advisory Board convened in Summer 2014 to find a chapter in disrepair (1 of 2) 9 TH DECILE MEMBERSHIP HEADED IN THE WRONG DIRECTION Low 20 s total membership; low/mid teens living in house 6

The Advisory Board convened in Summer 2014 to find a chapter in disrepair (2 of 2) SECOND TO LAST IN GRADES WITH NO EVIDENCE OF RECOVERY 7

Qualitative facts also troubling • Chapter on social probation due to past indiscretions • History of unacceptable behavior • General lack of engagement/care. 2 -3 fully engaged brothers doing all the work (leading to burn out) • Brand reputation varies from “unknown” to “very, very bad” The board delivered a letter of expectations to the chapter and insisted that all undergraduate brothers read and sign 8

We decided to use the academic year to gather data to make an informed decision Actual slide from August Advisory Board meeting 9

Unfortunately, our fears were confirmed… Actual slide from December Advisory Board meeting 10

We began to evaluate all options Actual slide from December Advisory Board meeting 11

New facts emerged that required immediate action, for the good of our chapter • $200 K+ expense to bring house to occupancy code for the Fall, higher than expected • Guidance from real estate experts that the value of the property may be much higher than anticipated, giving us options • External fraternity consultant’s advice to shut down and start over • Analogous success stories of recolonization (Sig Eps, Betas, Wisc. ADPhi) • University support for returning to campus, provided we go off campus “in good standing” In April we shut the chapter house and left campus …after 104 years 12

Current state • Alpha Delta Phi is not on campus • 310 E. John is closed, with live-in caretaker and security systems • Brothers in Arms, Duke, Chapter Room relics are secured • Undergraduate brothers elevated to “Alumni Status”, rented housing for the final month of the semester 13

Two critical, concurrent paths to recovery Build a Great Chapter “Optimize” the House 15

Build a Great Chapter Leader Objectives Andrew Grieve, 1996 • Build a durable brotherhood, worthy of the qualities of Alpha Delta Phi and the legacy of the Illinois Chapter • Attract a strong foundation of “re-founding” members, based on entrepreneurial and energetic incoming Freshmen and Sophomores • Establish perpetual motion: new members ultimately driving the rebuild with guidance from Alumni board Success factors • Active engagement of alumni and outside professionals • Identification of the right (not the most numerous) group of core re-founders: influencers, alpha dogs Timing • Target recolonization either Fall 2017 (or Fall 2016 if the support structure is viable and financial liquidity allows) 16

Optimize the House Leader Objectives Al Gienko 1985 • Provide a gathering place that retains key elements of the 1924 house that are important to Alumni Brothers • Provide compelling living quarters/common areas which are competitive with students’ alternate housing options • Monetize property value in order to - Fully fund house renovation, rebuild, or purchase - Fund an endowment to support operations and maintenance - Sustain the chapter financially during reboot and any future dips Options considered • Major renovation of the existing house that requires an alumni fundraising effort • Sell part of the 310 E John site and rebuild a house on a smaller footprint within existing parcel Timing • Sell the entire property – build or buy elsewhere (210 E John option) • Decisions must be made relatively quickly 17

We will return to a world class chapter and facility • Expect a new velocity to decision making • New paradigm to a thriving, sustainable chapter • Illinois Greek Alumni Corporation Board • National Trends • • Membership is up, yet occupancy levels are down Widespread use and abuse of drugs and alcohol Lack of experienced leadership Three biggest priorities • • The health and safety of our members The financial sustainability of the chapter house • The personal development of our members 18

Bottom Line • There is a desperate need for increased alumni engagement, participation and governance • We Need Your Time, Your Talents, and Your Passion 19

How you can help? • Become engaged in this process • Positions available on the Alumni Board and Committees • Let your voice be heard 20
