Congratulations to Bro. Justin M. Gibson, Sr., who was recently appointed the State Director for Ohio!

Bro. Gibson was initiated into the Lambda Theta chapter at the University of Cincinnati in Spring 2002.  He served as President of the chapter for multiple years before graduating in 2005.  After years in the alumni chapter, he was elected President in 2013 and 2014, serving as our Centennial President.  Bro. Gibson was integral in creating the DTS Chapter Foundation, Inc., the chapter’s non-profit affiliate, and serving as its Chairman in 2016-17.  

Bro. State Director was appointed by Bro. David Turner, the 27th Great Lakes Regional Director, and confirmed unanimously by the Great Lakes Regional Board during their June 2018 meeting.  His jurisdiction includes eight alumni chapters and 12 collegiate chapters throughout the State of Ohio.  His priorities include, but are not limited to overseeing membership growth and development, chapter reporting compliance, and maintaining risk management best practices.

Caleb Brown Scholarship 2018

The award is named in honor of our brother Caleb Brown, Jr., who was initiated into the Nu Chapter at Central State University on June 1, 1968.  Since that time, Bro. Brown has served in various leadership capacities within the chapter, state and region. Vocationally, he is an attorney in the Cincinnati area who has distinguished himself as a respected legal voice within our community.  On January 5, the brothers of the Delta Theta Sigma alumni chapter bestowed upon him the distinction of President Emeritus for his tireless work and representation of our fraternity.

The scholarship is available to African American males graduating from any Cincinnati-area high school.  The student must be attending an accredited four-year institution.  The application also requires two shorts essays.  The application deadline is April 1, with notifications going out by the middle of that month.
