Greg Alpert ‘84

Gregg Alpert (’87) was a passionate leader, a highly regarded community figure and a devoted father to three children - Will, Sarah and Kate. As an avid outdoorsman, he enjoyed hiking, fly fishing and mountain biking. He worked at Evergreen Development Company for 23 years where he rose from intern to Chief Operating Officer and Managing Principal.

After graduating from Chaparral High School, Gregg pledged the Epsilon Epsilon chapter in the fall of 1983. Gregg quickly immersed himself in life as a DELT and a Wildcat. As a member, Pledge Educator, Treasurer and President of the fraternity, he found his passion for problem solving, organizing events and working with people. He was a member of the Bobcats Senior Honorary and earned his B.S.B.A. in Entrepreneurship and Finance in 1988.

As an alumnus, he continued to provide support and guidance to Delta Tau Delta long after graduation. He served on the Epsilon Epsilon Chapter HouseCorporation during the transition from the original Drachman shelter to the house on Cherry Street.

Many of Gregg’s most cherished and lifelong relationships were made with his Delt brothers. They could frequently be seen together at a football game, tailgate or hanging out in the Delt House. They vacationed (before and after having families), participated in each other’s weddings, sought personal and business advice, guided each other through family crises, and reveled in being at the Final Four when Arizona won the NCAA National Championship game in Indianapolis in1997!

Gregg passed away at the age of 45 on Sept. 25, 2010. Although he lived a short life, he lived a full life by sharing his honesty, strong and intentional moral compass, sense of humor and love of life with everyone. He made family and friends his highest priority. No doubt he would be proud to know his Wildcat genes were successfully passed on to his two daughters, who are now thriving as a sophomore and senior!
