Five Questions for Jon Probstein '73
Jon Probstein '73 is a very cool Doogie Howser type. Started Syracuse University at 16, finished at 19, and was the youngest guy in the House. Triple majored in journalism, film and psychology. Served as Pledge Educator, Rush Chairman and Social Chairman. Went to law school and started off as a corporate securities attorney. Slowly but surely his practice tacked toward entertainment law. One fortuitous day, a legal client asked Jon to appear in a print advertisement and Jon Probstein's acting career as Jon Avner was born (Avner, a stage name, is Jon's Dad's first name).
A member of The Actors Studio, Jon has appeared in many films (HBO's Quality of Mercy co-starring Mary-Louise Parker, Showtime's Dirt, Sundance's Girl in the Watermelon and Queenie in Love, etc.), television shows (Guiding Light, As the World Turns, FTL Newsfeed, USA Up all Night with Rhonda Shear, etc.), commercials, radio and print. Jon's voice can be heard in many commercials and animes, including Berserk, Gokusin, Darkside Blues, and The Peacock King, to name a few.
An award winning writer, Jon is a member of The Dramatists Guild and his works have been presented in theaters all over the country. He has also written and starred in hundreds of comedy dinner and game shows.
If that's not enough, Jon is also starring in the 3rd version of a video game (he cannot mention the title yet) set for release on December 1st.

1. What's your best DU memory?
"426 Ostrom was right across from Thornden Park. We'd take the biggest stereo speakers from our rooms, line them along the edge of our broad front porch facing the Park, and blast The Who and Led Zeppelin. We played frisbee in the Park. Playing in the Park, listening to great tunes, and hanging with my Brothers - that was the best."
2. Which one of our Four Founding Principles has had the most impact on your life?
"Hands down, the Promotion of Friendship. My best friend is Dennis Pipher. Dennis and I pledged together in 1969 and have been best friends every day since. I had dinner with Dennis and his family last night and stayed over at his home in Greenwich. Dennis is the Godfather of both my children. Brothers for life, friends for life. It's a wealthy person, indeed, who calculates riches not in gold but in friends. If you have a single good friend, you're a rich man. In this way, DU has made me very well off."
3. What's your favorite acting role you played?
"I love them all, every single one. I always knew I'd end up an actor. My Dad wanted me to go law school, so I did. No regrets, as I ended up in the right place. You love every role because actors have to act. In acting there's so much rejection. So, when you land a role, you cherish it."
4. The Bazoo is on a historical mission, trying to trace back the introduction of goldfish into the pledge experience. Were goldfish involved in pledging back in '69?
"Absolutely. The Brothers started off by showing us big, scaly catfish in a tank. Ultimately, we got down to little goldfish in a bowl. I confided in my fellow pledge Peter Babakian that I had a thing about flapping fish and he reassured me he would immobilize mine. He sure took care of my goldfish. I saw some insides hanging out. It was easy with Peter looking out for me."
5. What do you want to tell the Brotherhood?
"I miss 426 Ostrom. Our House was situated high on a hill across from Thornden Park. There was something special about being on top of that hill. That's how we viewed ourselves: Top of the Hill, the best fraternity. We were very proud to be DUs. We wore our DU jackets on campus with pride."
Editor's Note: The Bazoo had a boatload of fun interviewing Jon. Although 22 class years separated this interviewer and Jon, we connected right off the bat. There really is a DU bond that bridges all time. Jon provided his contact information in case any Brothers from his years would like to reconnect: 917-751-4313; jmp@jmpattorney.com or jonavner@jonavner.com. Out of the New York and Boston Gatherings, The Bazoo is hearing stories of Brothers rekindling friendships, getting together and doing new things. Naturally, when old friends reconnect, there is a refreshing newness, and after great memories wash over you, the stage is set for so many more.

The Bazoo Vault
1962 Tolley Cup Winner Delta Upsilon Reprinted from the November 1962 Bazoo article authored by Charles Mills '62 The Tolley Cup, a symbol of fraternity excellence, is awarded each spring to the Syracuse University house considered top on campus. The 1962 Tolley Cup was presented to Delta Upsilon. The winner of the Tolley Cup is determined by a detailed rating process wherein the opinion of the administration is combined with the votes of the 30 fraternities. Each house also submits a ten page report on chapter activities which is carefully studied by members of the Office of the Dean of Men. These reports are probably the greatest determiners of the winner of the cup, since each is a candid and complete study of the fraternity activities. |
|
Delta Upsilon, with the backing of an exceptionally strong pledge class, ranked top in campus activities. However, the real strength lay in our well integrated intra-house activities which were never stated verbatim in the Tolley Cup report.
Since last fall the fraternity system at Syracuse has been on a form of trial in the eyes of our new Dean of Men. However, it has not been the type of trial which threatens the demise of the fraternity system. Dean Clifford is anxious to develop the best fraternity system possible and has set up a strict code of standards which he has enforced with action. Several houses have felt the brunt of these moves and have learned that the right way is the only way as far as Syracuse University fraternities are concerned today.
Delta Upsilon has shown its willingness to cooperate to better the Syracuse fraternity system. In the 1961-62 school year DU brothers brought the fraternity name to the campus by holding the following offices in campus activities: Doug Milbury, president of the freshman class; Lee Petersen, president of the junior class; Charlie Stackhouse, president-elect of the sophomore class; Logan Sallada, president-elect of the junior class; Sloan Dugan, president of Traditions Commission; and Lee Petersen, president-elect of Traditions Commission. Nearly every brother participated in some form of campus activity and as a result Delta Upsilon was represented in 58 campus organizations and honoraries
The process of selection of Delta Upsilon as the 1962 Tolley Cup winner went much deeper than campus activities and the following of university regulations. A study was made of the fraternity's relations with the Syracuse community in regard to welfare and youth work. The physical facilities of the fraternity were studied,and it was considered that Delta Upsilon had the ideal physical plant to be used as a basis in future fraternity planning.
The feature of our fraternity structure which was considered most original by the Tolley Cup judges was our new scholarship program. Our alumni and the active chapter have been working on this program for the past few years and finally this fall it has been put into effect. Basically, it means that no DU will have to drop out of school for financial reasons and it means that every brother will be helped in every way possible if he has financial need.
Last spring each member, brother or pledge, who had financial need filled out a statement of need and the Board of Trustees awarded scholarships and jobs in the kitchen to needy men. The scholarships came out of the Dikaia Foundation fund. Thus, a positive step has been taken in fraternity improvement and undoubtedly several of the other fraternities on campus will follow suit.
Special congratulations are in order to the class of 1962 which was a great contributing force in the winning of our first Tolley Cup since 1958. It is the hope of the class of 1963 to continue a possible tradition set last year.

Momentum Building in “Return DU to SU” Fundraising Campaign
This month, we begin our first coordinated effort to contact you, call you on the phone (thanks to the volunteer efforts of SU DU alumni) and ask for your financial gift to help bring DU back to campus. In doing so, we invite you to help us change the lives of young men attending Syracuse for generations to come.
We will succeed, because we must.
We’ve built some strong momentum with pledges and gifts of more than $110,000 toward our Campaign goal of $325,000. The funds raised will pay for staff from DU Headquarters to spend the entire 2016-2017 academic year on the SU campus, recruiting and building our new DU brotherhood. The Campaign will also provide between 12 and 14 annual leadership educational scholarships for SU DU brothers on a permanent, endowed basis. This includes the Raymond Ranellucci Emerging Leader Scholarship, which you can learn more about by clicking here.
So, get ready! For a two-week period in October and a similar period in November, we’ll begin to work through a list of about 700 SU DU alumni, attempting to call as many as possible.
Again, those who will be making calls this month and next are not professional telemarketers – they are SU DU alumni, just like you. And they’ll be asking you to make the creation of a new DU at Syracuse a priority in your charitable giving plans with a tax-deductible pledge of $1,000. Over the next 15 months, that works out to about $67 per month. You can fulfill in any installment amount between now and December 31, 2015, and if you have a credit card handy, you can get started by clicking here!
The amount you give is less important than your participation. SU at DU was great because you were evaluated on merit, not the size of your bank account. Give what you can, but please give generously – we won’t have another chance to start the chapter in our lifetimes.
Back in the 1970’s, alumni just like us stepped up; decided that the work and money to re-start the chapter was worthwhile. It’s our turn now to make the same decision, to create a DU for young men to join and benefit from at Syracuse.
On behalf of the “Return DU to SU Campaign” Fund Raising Committee, we thank you for your help and support.
Fraternally,
Rick Holland, ‘83
Rob Spiegel, ‘84
David Sugrue, ‘90

DU: A Reformer Embracing Change
Everything is coming together quite nicely on our Syracuse return. Not just from our alumni efforts, but also the supportive strength of DU Headquarters and our fellow chapters. Read the email from Headquarters and the cited, linked publication, recognizing Headquarters has doubled down on experienced staff focused on opening new chapters. Naturally, this bodes well for the success of our comeback. Read Message to Alumni regarding Delta Upsilon's recognition as "A Reformer Embracing Change" and the recent article, Change at 4 Fraternities posted in The Chronicle of Higher Education. |

Boner and Bonus Awards
Editor's Note: There were no Boner Awards nominated for this issue of The Bazoo but two Bonuses have been submitted First Bonus Award goes to David Sugrue '90: As pledges, Larry Richmond gave David Sugrue the nickname "Sarge" for taking the reins in organizing a Wake Up when none of the pledges, including Sarge, had any idea of this early morning institution. |
The nickname stuck and so has Sarge to his ways of leading important initiatives for the Brotherhood. Sarge attended the New York City Recolonization Meeting in June and offered to lend a hand to our fundraising efforts. True to form, Sarge took the wheel, becoming Commander of the two upcoming Fundraising Call Blitzes to the Brotherhood. Sarge has put in a tremendous amount of time and effort on the Blitzes: devising the plan; overseeing cleansing of the Brotherhood contact database to increase the accuracy of telephone numbers; developing caller training materials; and co-hosting a caller training session to ensure the volunteer Brothers have everything they need to make successful calls. And, on top of all this, Sarge made a generous financial donation to our comeback. He does it all in a fun-loving way, with his legendary wit. Always a great time with Sarge, a great man.
|
Second Bonus Award goes to Rich Kropp '90 (submitted by John "Otis' O'Brien '88):
On a Monday evening in late June, I was contacted by Rich "Kropper" Kropp inviting me to join him for the 2 final Grateful Dead concerts in the San Francisco area. Being a huge Dead fan since high school and knowing that these shows had sold out months before, I quickly secured the "hall pass" from my understanding wife, got coverage for work and booked last minute flights from Seattle to San Francisco. Only after speaking with Kropper a day or two later did I learn that he had FREE corporate VIP passes with tickets up front, VIP entry with no lines and unlimited free food! I was prepared to pay a few hundred bucks for each day's ticket but through a family connection, Kropper had the full VIP package and hooked me up! |
|
In addition, Kropper picked me up at the airport, let me crash at his place for a few nights, drove to the concerts, played tourist with me one morning and, of course, partied like a rock star for both shows. An unforgettable weekend thanks to Brother Kropp! Ironic to note that I attended my first Grateful Dead show at the Carrier Dome first semester freshman year (10/20/1984) as a DU pledge and saw my final Dead show with long time friend and DU brother Rich Kropp 30 years later! What a long strange trip it's been....
