The annual event was hosted this year by the Miami Chapter at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. British Columbia sent two delegates : bro Shamai Cohen to represent the undergraduate chapter, and alumnus bro. Kellan Higgins attended on behalf of the BC Alumni Association.

Special thanks to webmaster bros. Brendan Campbell, Jeff Blake, and alumnus bro. Adam Leggett as well as all brothers who update the website regularly.

The Alpha Delt’s win the sports trophy for the second straight year with 6088 sport points, 1300 more than the second closest fraternity. This didn’t come easy but was made possible due to great participation of all brothers, and wins in Longboat, Dodgeball, Ice Hockey, Soccer, Indoor Soccer, Inner Tube Water Polo, Storm the Wall and Gladiator.

The Alpha Delt’s also claimed the Earl Award victory for the second straight year as brother Glendon Inkster received an amazing 2811 points.

The Alpha Delt’s took first place in men’s Storm the Wall. The team consisting of Runner Luka Bogdanovic, Biker Jeff Hart, Sprinter Andrew King, Swimmer Jesse Ory, and Wall guy Colin Keightly, finished with an incredible time of 13:30. In winning men’s Storm the Wall the Alpha Delt’s have now set themselves up for a good shot at the triple crown. All that is left now is the winning of the triathlon.

The Alpha Delta Phi Alumni Association also won Storm the Wall, and our proud to announce their first ever Storm the Wall victory. A mix of veterans and first timers stormed in true ADP fashion, rallying around the white, green and black to take home the UBC Alumni Championship. With a throng of new graduates expected this spring, the Alumni Association is looking forward to welcoming its new members and participating in more UBC sporting events in the future.

Career and debate night is a night for Alumni and actives to get together and bridge the gap. In that sense it was a huge success. We had an awesome showing of upwards of 20 alumni with about the same number of actives. Started off with some appies and a rousing bout of the classic Alpha Delt songs followed by several alumni who spoke on life after school and what Alpha Delta Phi means to them. From there we moved on to the debates, which were lively and entertaining, concluding with a heated debate on Blondes vs. Brunettes, which is better and why. Thanks to all the Alumni and active brothers who came out and made this event a huge success.

Keep an eye out more up coming alumni events, namely alumni sports day held in the summer.

Congratulations to all the brothers that participated in this years Delta Gamma Anchor Splash. Thanks to Chris Klassen you can check out our performance on video!
