From the staff of The Technician, and from all of the faculty, staff, and students at Kettering, we congratulate you on your success and welcome you to this new place. In just a few short days, classes will begin. Work hard, strive for the best, and reap the rewards of success when it comes your way. As you work, remember to take a break and relax respon-sibly often. Clubs and Greek organizations can be a great way to blow off some steam and enjoy what little free time you have. Most of all, enjoy these years. Kettering has much to offer you, but little of it is inside the pages of books. The opportunities and potential this university can provide you are noth-ing short of extraordinary.

Welcome, Class of 2017!

Kettering University Partners for Faster InternetFrom the Kettering University Web site

President Barack Obama will sign an Executive Order on Thursday, June 14, to make broadband construction faster and cheaper and will announce 100 partners—including 25 cities and 60 national research universities—to form a new public-private partnership called us Ignite.

Flint, Michigan is one of the first 25 cities and Kettering University is among the 60 nationally re-spected universities singled out in the first round of this elite national partnership.

“Building a nationwide broadband network will strengthen our economy and put more Americans back to work,” said President Obama. “By connect-ing every corner of our country to the digital age, we can help our businesses become more competi-tive, our students become more informed and our citizens become more engaged.”

Kettering President Robert K. McMahan said us Ignite will bring the fastest broadband research network in the world to Flint and the region. “This is a community asset,” he explained. “We’ll be one of only 25 cities with this technological capability. We’ll be one of the few places in the country with this next-generation technology. It will give Flint a tremendous lead to be in the first wave.”

Flint’s Charles Stewart Mott Foundation provid-ed us Ignite with a planning grant to help kick-start us Ignite’s non-profit partnership and has helped engage other national and local partners to bring the technology benefits to Flint. Mott believes us Ignite has the potential to help people improve their lives and their communities and enhance the work of Flint partners, including Kettering University, in the areas of clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and education, as well as the development of local workforce training activities that can help people overcome barriers to the labor market. Ultimately,

the foundation seeks to leverage its investment in Ignite, along with the passion and energy of local partners, to help open new doors to opportunity in Flint and beyond.

Merit Network, Inc., joined the us Ignite Initia-tive and the geni project to help create a platform that will drive next-generation innovation. Merit has a strong history of providing innovative tech-nologies to its membership, including currently developing a Cyber Security Range that is based on Open Flow and geni technologies. Merit’s par-ticipation in us Ignite will play an important role in this critical undertaking, and has the potential to benefit all of its membership, from higher education and libraries to K–12 schools, healthcare providers, and more. Formed in 1966, Merit Network is lever-aging its experience managing the precursor to the modern Internet, the nsfnet, and its participation in us Ignite will add to a lineage of innovation as Merit continues to support leading-edge network technology in Michigan and beyond.

The us Ignite Partnership will create a new wave of services that take advantage of state-of-the-art, programmable broadband networks running up to 100 times faster than today’s Internet. By bringing software developers and engineers from government and industry together with representatives from communities, schools, hospitals, and other institu-tions that will benefit from faster and more agile broadband options, the partnership aims to speed up and increase the development of applications for advanced manufacturing, medical monitoring, emergency preparedness, and a host of other servic-es. These applications will improve services to Amer-icans and drive job creation, promote innovation, and create new markets for American businesses.

President Obama’s Executive Order will make broadband construction along Federal roadways and properties up to 90 percent cheaper and more efficient. Currently, the procedures for approving broadband infrastructure projects on properties controlled or managed by the Federal Govern-ment—including large tracts of land, roadways, and more than 10,000 buildings across the Nation—vary depending on which agency manages the property. The new Executive Order will ensure that agencies charged with managing Federal proper-ties and roads take specific steps to adopt a uniform approach for allowing broadband carriers to build networks on and through those assets and speed the delivery of connectivity to communities, businesses and schools.

The Executive Order (eo) will require the Depart-ments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Interior, Transportation, and Veterans Affairs as well as the US Postal Service to offer carriers a single approach to leasing Federal assets for broadband deployment. The eo also requires that available Federal assets and the requirements for leasing be provided on depart-mental websites, and it will require public tracking of regional broadband deployment projects via the Federal Infrastructure Projects Dashboard (permits.performance.gov). In addition, the Executive Order will direct departments to help carriers time their broadband deployment activities to periods when streets are already under construction—an ap-proach that can reduce network deployment costs along Federal roadways by up to 90 percent.

PerspectivesStudy Abroad

Meredith BrassellGuest Contributor

The study abroad term I spent in Germany taught me more than I could have ever imagined. Sure I learned about internet protocols and feedback loops during class, but I learned even more while traveling Europe.

I learned how to make efficient plans. Then I learned that things don’t always go according to plan. Then I learned how to improvise and how to get lost, but also perfected the art of using a map. I learned that all you really need to survive is bread, water, and a place to sleep and everything else is just a bonus. I learned the art of finding free water and wifi. I learned the phrase “Do you speak English?” in multiple languages and significantly improved my charades skills for when the answer was no. I learned how to have great conversations with strangers. I learned that sometimes the worst experiences make the best stories. I learned how to sleep on trains, planes, and buses. I learned the value of having a bed to sleep in. I learned to question practices that I consider “normal”, to open my mind to new ideas, and to truly appreciate my home and all of its food, cultures, and ideas.

I’ve seen a lot of amazing places and took a lot of pictures but one final thing I learned is that there are thousands of tourists all over the world with those same pictures. It’s the experiences you have and the things you learn while you are abroad that really make it worth it.

Photos, right, were taken by Miss Brassell whilst studying abroad last work term.

For all you ladies out there...

Hey there all you new freshman ladies! Welcome to Kettering! I’m sure you’ve heard by now that you’re a minority here. Luckily, this is one of those times when it helps to be a minority.

First of all, if you’re opening your own doors, you’re doing it wrong. There is no reason for you to be opening a door for yourself. Most of your male peers will be polite enough to do it for you.

Second: if you’re parents weren’t nice enough to get you a tv for your dorm room, don’t fret; there are plenty of freshman boys with tvs in their rooms, and they’d love nothing more than to watch the Big Bang Theory with you. And they’d love watching White Collar with you even more, just to hear all about how attractive Matt Bomer is.

You don’t have a car? At least one of the freshman males you know will. And they’d be more than hap-

py to take you to Wal-Mart at 10:00 at night - it’s not like they need to sleep or study or anything. (Actu-ally, going to Wal-Mart at 10:00 at night is really fun and you should all try it).

Now for the serious part: your male peers actually have value as human beings. They do have feelings. And since all of them got into Kettering, they’re rel-atively intelligent. So if you need help with a class, take advantage. There are a lot of majors where there aren’t many other women to help you, so take advan-tage of your male friends’ intelligence.

Finally, if you haven’t heard it already, there’s this area called the friend-zone. The friend-zone is that area where you put a guy whose friendship and/or intelligence is valuable to you, but that’s all he is.

Now, I have a heart, so I’m go-ing to suggest you minimize the amount of time you force your male friends to be in the friend-zone. They get really frustrated and sad when they’re there, and it’s just mean to give them hope only to dash it time and time again.

So ladies, go out there and meet men! You’ll find a lot of fun, smart, and interesting men at Kettering. Use them as you please, be it for tv, grocery shop-ping, or homework purposes. But in the end, remember that

they’re humans. And some of them do make really good friends.

ebbe8674@kettering.eduRecruitment: Tim Starr

star0609@kettering.eduSummary:

Since 1996, Delta Chi has been improving the college experience for undergraduates. As the newest men's social fraternity on campus, its founders looked upon Ketter-ing’s Greek system with the goal of creating a higher standard for Greek life. They did so by creating a fraternity chapter steeped in tradition and a mind-set of redefining the college social fraternity.

From our lan party to cookouts, our members keep fun in mind. In addition to our creative events, our members are committed to staying involved on campus and in the community. Our members are in-volved in a wide variety of clubs and organizations on camps. We give back to the community through volunteering at local soup kitchens as well as hosting other philanthropic events. The Delta Chi Frater-nity raises money for the V Foundation to support cancer research, and the Kettering – A chapter is one the largest contributing chapters in the country. When our members aren’t busy working to redefine the fraternity experience, they’re studying hard and have helped make our chapter’s gpa one of the high-est on campus. Be sure to stop by our house and join in at our events to see what we’re all about! For more info check out http://asection.ketteringdeltachi.org

Beta Theta Pi is dedicated to building Men of Principle for a principled life. Membership in Beta enhances each brother's collegiate experience through intellectual, social and moral growth. Beta promotes high standards of moral conduct and responsible citizenship as outlined in the Men of Principle initiative. To that end, Beta Theta Pi provides numerous merit scholarships and leader-ship development experiences for more than 1,600 undergraduates annually.

Beta’s Men of Principle initia-tive is not a localized idea; rather it is a message that transcends cul-tures and can resonate on every campus. The message is simple: times change, principles do not. Entrepreneurial in spirit and am-bitious at heart, we are recruiting men who believe in the mission of the organization. It is our goal to align our fra-ternity with the founding ideals set forth by our eight brothers in 1839. Beta’s recent success, cou-pled with 170 years of tradition, leadership, and commitment to excellence, has proven to be what college men today are looking for in a fraternity.

Delta ChiChapter Name: Kettering–ANickname: DX, D-ChiSummary:

Delta Chi is an international social fraternity formed on October 13, 1890, at Cornell Universi-ty. Originally formed as a law fraternity, and have since transitioned into a general social fraternity, we have over 100,000 initiates world-wide.

When Delta Chi started the colonization at Kettering University, it was decided that having two unique chapters was the best way to establish a presence on campus. The chapters, chartered in 1998, share an ABT (Alumni Board of Trust-ees) and Housing Corpora-tion but have unique officers and by-laws. Additionally, the chapters also share the chapter house.

Despite this distinction, the brothers of both chapters are still brothers of Delta Chi, much as our fellow Delta Chi from any other chapter, and we still hold true to the original idealism set forth by our founders, including our motto "Leges" (Law).

Our nationally preferred philanthropic orga-nization is "The V Foundation", an organization dedicated to saving lives by helping to find a cure for cancer.

In pursuit of this mission, the Fraternity promotes five core val-ues: Friendship, Knowledge, Ser-vice, Morality, and Excellence.

Phi Delta Theta Chapter Name: Michigan DeltaNickname: Phi DeltsPresident: Gabe Phillips phil9072@kettering.eduRecruitment: Aaron Hoffman

hoff2180@kettering.eduSummary:

Whether you are interested in becoming a member of the Greek community or not, the Fraternity of Phi Delta Theta has more to of-fer than you know. Whatever your interests, you’ll find a welcoming atmosphere at Phi Delta Theta. We follow three simple principles

that make us exemplary members of the community. These principles are friendship, sound learning, and moral rectitude.

Friendship can mean a lot of different things, de-pending on how it’s used. To us friendship is taken to the next level, creating a brotherhood that grows past college and lasts forever.

Sound learning, is another principle that Phi Del-ts live by. At Phi Delta Theta, we put the education of our members and our friends as a top priority. If you are having trouble in any subject, there is a Phi Delt willing to help.

The third principle we follow is moral rectitude. One of our founding fathers, Robert Morrison, said it best: “To do what ought to be done but would not have been done unless I did it, I thought to be my duty.” This means being honorable and honest at all times, having a deep sense of responsibility towards one another, and looking out for every brother.

These three principles are the basis for being a Phi Delt, but Phi Delts are much, much more. To get a good understanding of what it truly means to be a Phi, you will have to speak with one of our members.

rholmgren24@gmail.comSummary:

What began in Room 47 West Range at the Uni-versity of Virginia back in 1868 has now endured for well over a century, growing into one of the largest fraternal organizations in the world. How? The rea-son is simple. Pi Kappa Alpha has remained dedicat-ed to developing men of integrity, intellect, success and high moral character, and to fostering a truly lifelong fraternal experience.

Bottom line: Pi Kappa Alpha enhances the col-legiate experience while providing a lifetime of op-portunity and reward. Its legacy demands nothing less than excellence.

Pi Kappa Alpha consists of Scholars, Leaders, Athletes and Gentlemen. If you exemplify one or several of these ideals, you could be just the type of person that Pike is looking for. Pi Kappa Alpha is continuously working hard to find men who want to be champions, men who are dedicated to a common vision. When you graduate college you will have a Diploma, a gpa, and a few friends and memories. When you graduate Pike, you will have a network for over 250,000 initiates, last-ing ties of friendship and brotherhood, and memo-ries and experiences that you will never forget.

laza2102@kettering.eduSummary:

Lambda Chi Alpha has been very influential in the fraternity world, leading the way to the abolish-ment of hazing in their new member program, and got rid of pledging all together, with the Associate Member program. As part of Lambda Chi Alpha’s True Brother Initiative, associate members learn the Seven Core Values forming the foundation of Lambda Chi Alpha’s approach to brotherhood. These seven values — Loyalty, Duty, Re-spect, Service and Stewardship, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage, are influenced by the U.S. Army’s leader development program.

When brothers are not at class or studying, they can be found playing volleyball, working on their vehicles, playing golf, grilling, or hanging out having a good time.
