Winning the Thurston Cup is one of the highest honors a Chapter of Phi Delta Chi can earn. The Thurston Cup is composed of five elements, one of which is an annual publication. The Alpha Chapter has designated the task of completing our publication, The Alpha Tattler, to the Publications Committee. The publication piece is designed to highlight the Chapter's activities throughout the year. The finished product is seen by Grand Officers of Phi Delta Chi, alumni Brothers, and other Chapters across the country. Brothers from our Chapter contribute articles, photos, and design ideas to The Alpha Tattler based on a chosen theme by the Publication Committee. In 2014, The Alpha Tattler was the 3rd place winner of the publication section of the Thurston Cup, also known as the Chapter Publication Award, with its theme of Harry Potter.
