Seven alumni opened their homes to various students throughout the days and had dinner with the Dinner Club participants. The Alumni Involvement Committee of the Association of Student Alumni holds the Dinner Club every semester. “We began planning this semester’s Dinner Club towards the end of last semester,” said Josh Greenberg, ’13, the alumni involvement committee chair. “We contacted different alumni in the area and asked if they would be willing to host a dinner at their home. We received several confirmations and ended up selecting seven alumni to hold the various dinner clubs.” “After I finalized the hosts of the Dinner Club, I worked on getting students interested in attending the event,” he said. “My committee within ASA helped me advertise around campus. We sent out various emails and hung posters throughout campus. When it was time to sign up, we sent out a campus-wide email. Each student could choose up to three options. After the submissions were done, my committee and I sorted the responses. We gave everyone one of their three preferences, and everyone was really excited about their assignment.” “The hosts were extremely gracious,” Greenberg said. “They were all so accommodating and inviting to all of the students. The students were also quite grateful. As a gift, each dinner party presented their host with a brown Lehigh embroidered apron.” Nancy Merritt, ’04, director of Student and Young Alumni Programs, hosted her dinner with her husband Brian Merritt, ’99, on Sunday. The couple volunteered to be hosts for the Student and Alumni Dinner Club because they “enjoy helping Lehigh students and would love to talk to them over a home-cooked meal,” Nancy Merritt said. She planned her evening with a fun cultural flair in mind. “My dinner party helped make the main entrée,” she said. “I taught everyone how to make gyozas. Gyozas are essentially dumplings, and soon enough everyone found their own unique way to pinch their gyozas closed. I then showed everyone how to cook and steam them.” In addition to her fun-filled main entrée, Merritt said they also feasted on, “a ginger-dressed salad, edamame, fried rice and decadent brownies from Vegan Treats.” Laura Sieger, ’13, attended the Merritts’ event and said she had a wonderful time. “I had never been to a dinner club, so I wasn’t sure what to expect,” she said. “We re ally had an amazing time. Four students By MELISSA COLLINS Delta Tau Delta International Fraternity has suspended its Lehigh chapter, Beta Lambda, because of “risk management violations,” according to a press release. Because of the suspension, the group is no longer recognized at Lehigh, and all fraternity activities have been ended. According to the press release, Jim Russell, executive vice president of Delta Tau Delta International Fraternity, came to campus on Tuesday to hold a meeting with students, faculty and administrators regarding the decision to suspend the chapter. “When national headquarters make a decision, we respect and support that decision,” said Tim Wilkinson, director of the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs. According to Brian Casey, president of the Interfraternity Council, Delta Tau Delta was under investigation by the university, but its national headquarters suspended the fraternity based on information from the police and administrators. Lehigh did not hold its own trial, Wilkinson said. The men in the fraternity were not abiding by the risk management policies dealing with alcohol and hazing, which resulted in their charter being withdrawn from Lehigh’s chapter, according to the press release. The fraternity, which was chartered at Lehigh in 1874 and has initiated 1,226 members, cannot return to Lehigh until all current students who were members of the fraternity have graduated, Casey said. Based on this motion, the fraternity may return in 2014. Once the members have graduated, a Delta Tau Delta chapter at Lehigh can be reconsidered. According to the press release, Russell said the fraternity looks “forward to the possibility of returning to the campus at an appropriate time.” Casey also said the members of IFC have little information about the suspension and “no access” to the information that the national headquarters used to make their decision. “It was a painful but necessary decision,” Russel said in the press release. Members of Delta Tau Delta declined to comment on the situation. n The fraternity was notified Tuesday night by a national representative of the removal of its chapter.
