"It's the enthusiasm, creativity and volunteerism of alumni like Ted that enhance the alumni experience for all Blue Hens," Mangat says. Stephen Mangat of the alumni relations office says he and his colleagues were happy to lend support. Now living in Lewes, Del., Haas contacted the Office of Alumni Relations for help locating his brothers and inviting them and their families to the reunion in Rehoboth Beach.

Haas came to the University in 1967 and pledged Sigma Phi Epsilon that spring semester. With the help of the Office of Alumni Relations, that dream became a reality in October.
