Contents
Early Fraternity Life and Career
Duff attended Temple University upon graduation from high school, beginning in the fall of 2001. As a bored first semester freshman, Duff saw a poster advertising an informational night for Phi Sigma Pi and decided to attend the meeting. At the meeting, Duff found out the requirements for being inducted were a 3.0 GPA and one semester of credit (at Temple, this was 12 credit hours). As a first semester freshman with exactly 12 A.P. credits transferred to Temple, the chapter was unsure whether he was eligible for membership. They invited him to attend the rest of the activities for rush week and told him they would let him know if he was eligible. At different points during the remainder of the week, Duff was told that he was eligible as well as ineligible to join Phi Sigma Pi during the current semester. However, at the end of rush week, Duff was informed that the chapter was extending a bid to him. Duff joined the Psi initiate class and was inducted at the end of the fall 2001 semester.
Collegiate Years at Alpha Lambda
Because Alpha Lambda Chapter elects chapter officers to a calendar year term, Duff ran and was elected as Co-Historian (for 2002) immediately following his induction. Following the spring 2002 semester, Duff’s Co-Historian (who also happened to be his Big Brother) stepped down as Co-Historian to become the Initiate Advisor, thus leaving Duff to finish the term as Historian. At the end of the fall 2002 semester, Duff was elected to serve as Vice President. He was an alternate for the 2003 Grand Chapter Conference held at Villanova University. Duff was elected to President for the 2004 calendar year. He was the Grand Chapter delegate for the 2004 Grand Chapter conferences, and as an alternate for the 2005 Grand Chapter conference
Duff also served as several committee chairs while an Active brother of Alpha Lambda. He served as the chair of the Service Committee, InterChapter Relations Committee, as well as the Bylaw Committee.
The Alpha Lambda Chapter awarded Duff with a Chapter Service Key at the chapters 2006 Founder's Day Banquet.
Alumni Years to Present
Upon graduating from Temple University in 2005, Duff began law school at Widener University School of Law. He lives in Southwest Philadelphia with two brothers from the Gamma Xi Chapter. He continues to be active in the fraternity on both the National and Local levels, through his position on the National Council, his continued attendance at National and Regional Events, and with local Collegiate and Alumni Chapters, including Alpha Lambda and DVAC.
National Involvement
Duff's involvement nationally began in 2002, when he first attended National Convention. Due to the immense enjoyment Duff experienced with his national brothers, he has attended every National Convention since that first one in Pittsburgh. Duff also began attending the Grand Chapter Conferences starting with the 2003 conference. At his first Grand Chapter conference in 2003, Duff applied to be on a National Committee. He was assigned to work on the National Constitution and Chapters Standard Committee and served through 2006. In the spring of 2005, Duff was chosen to participate in the SPARK Leadership Academy. Following that, during the summer of 2005, Duff was elected as Vice President of Chapter Development and re-elected to the same position in 2006. As Vice President of Chapter Development he currently chairs the Chapter Development Committee
