FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AUGUST 21, 2009 | 9:30 AM EDT Daniel E. Duncan, II, Ohio State '00

CARMEL, INDIANA – After seven years of service to the Old Gal, Daniel E. Duncan II, Ohio State ’00, will leave the Fraternity Headquarters’ staff to pursue new opportunities with Alpha Gamma Delta, a national women’s fraternity. He will remain in the Indianapolis area. While his departure has been known for some time, we were unable to share this news until today. His last day at Fraternity Headquarters is Friday, August 21, 2009.

On January 14, 2000, Dan was officially welcomed into the Mystic Circle at the Zeta Chapter at Ohio State. A few months later Dan was elected President of the Chapter. He would serve two terms as President. While attending the 2000 Grand Chapter and Leadership Conference in Washington D.C., Dan became interested in working for staff. Dan joined staff on July 15, 2002 shortly after his graduation from The Ohio State University. He was the second man from Ohio State to work for the national organization being preceded by John D. Wejman, Ohio State ’98.

When he began, Dan was one of four Chapter Leadership Consultants responsible for working with chapters across the United States. In 2003, Dan was named Director of Business Operations and was given responsibility for chapter debt collection, membership ordering, insurance, and the day to day operations of the National Fraternity. In 2007, Dan was named Vice President and continued to work with finance, risk management, and business affairs.

Duncan is credited with restoring faith in the national organizations ability to deliver timely administrative services and with leading the team that returned the Fraternity to strong financial footing. He was instrumental in developing a plan that allowed the Fraternity to collect more than $70,000 in debt. In addition to his operational responsibilities, he served as the resident archivist and ritual expert at Fraternity Headquarters. During his time with the Fraternity staff, Dan visited nearly forty chapters, participated in the chartering of nine new groups, and conceived and authored Alpha Sigma Phi’s Ritual Education Guide.

Duncan recalls: “About a decade ago, I accepted a friend’s invitation to dinner to talk about a new opportunity that he was pursuing. I could’ve never imagine the opportunity that he was about to present to me would turn into my collegiate avocation and later my occupation. What an amazing decade it has been. My time with the Fraternity Staff has been uniquely rewarding, fulfilling, and gratifying. Space is not large enough to allow me to convey all the gratitude that I feel compelled to share. Please accept my simple, humble Thank You and know that I am a better man because of my involvement with Alpha Sigma Phi.”

Beyond his accomplishments, Dan’s passion and love for the Fraternity brought tremendous value to the organization. He never lost sight of the undergraduate experience and the impact that experience has on the men in our Fraternity. Thank you Dan for your dedication, we’re a better Fraternity because of you.
