Fri, 17 Feb 2012 13:46:06 GMT

Are you an alumni chapter that could use some fresh ideas? Or maybe you are a well-established alumni chapter that would like to share your successes with others? The National Alumni Development Committee has already paired up a couple chapters (Indianapolis/Washington DC and Louisville/Lincoln) and we are looking to help even more! If you are interested, please contact alumni@dspnet.org.

And if you are just looking for a little guidance, check out the alumni chapter resources online including the Best Practices Manual and Officer Packets. You can also join the Alumni Chapter Resource Group on Facebook.

Help Delta Sigma Pi become a MADD All-Star and win $10,000 for charity!

Delta Sigma Pi is in the running against eight other groups for the coveted Make A Difference Day All-Star Award. What does this mean? It means that because we were the recipient of the Make A Difference Day award in 2010, and because we've increased participation nearly 70% in just two years, we are being considered for the All-Star Award. If chosen, we will again receive $10,000 to give to the charities of our choice (in 2009 that included American Cancer Society, Verizon HopeLine, St. Jude&rsquos, Ronald McDonald House and Habitat for Humanity).

The article on the Make A Difference Day website says it all! "The brothers of Delta Sigma Pi outdid themselves again on Make A Difference Day 2011. The collegiate business fraternity, based in Oxford, Ohio, emphasizes volunteering, not partying. On Oct. 22, more than 2,500 members from 60 percent of the 250+ active chapters teamed up to give back to society from Hawaii to Massachusetts."

Support Delta Sigma Pi by voting at www.makeadifferenceday.com. Each person may vote once per day between February 15-29.

Join Executive Director Bill Schilling for a tour of Germany May 5-15!

Dear Brothers:

I am excited to invite you to join me this May on a new Deltasig endeavor an alumni trip to Germany and the Austrian Alps! It even includes a day in Switzerland for those looking to"collect" another country! No regular tour, this has a bit of a business focus the AB6Cs auto, beer, les, cruising, crystal, chocolate, cheese and corks (wine).

The Fraternity has looked at travel packages in the past, but a personal trip Sherry and I took with Executive Travel to Germany a few years ago prompted this specific tour focusing on some Deltasig-like interests. Look over the brochure for the exciting itinerary, but let me add that a wonderful, talented, perfectly clear English and FUN tour guide is set. The owner of Executive Travel, Steve Glenn, will be on the tour with us and you know that means only good stuff and first rate service will happen!

I want to make clear that this is a "higher end" trip. Quality hotels and transportation. Excellent guide and driver. Limited numbers for spacious seating and better access for enhanced tour and dining experiences. TOTALLY relaxing and fun! Park at the airport and come home refreshed and excited about your NEXT Deltasig tour!

The tour begins this May 5 in Frankfurt and ends May 15 in Munich. The brochure provides many details or go to Executive Travel's website or call Kathy Myers, Group Coordinator, in Lincoln, NE at their office 402-458-9876.

Flights can be done on your own, or through Executive Travel, but they will coordinate airport transfers accordingly for arrival and departure.

Our last trip to Germany with this group has led us to sign up for this one and recommend it so you can tell we had the time of our lives. Please consider joining us!

Fraternally,

Bill Schilling
Executive Director

Buck$ 4 Brotherhood

Celebrate Founders' Day with the Leadership Foundation by becoming a Legacy Chapter and enjoying a friendly competition between the Provinces! Your chapter can participate by donating a minimum of $1 for each active brother or a minimum of $50 for an alumni chapter before December 15. Chapters will need to collect $1 donations from each brother and submit to the Leadership Foundation as a single donation from the chapter. Donations may be submitted through the online giving form or by sending a check to the Delta Sigma Pi Leadership Foundation, being sure to note that the donation is for the &ldquoBuck$ 4 Brotherhood&rdquo program.

Each chapter that fulfills this goal will be named a Legacy Chapter and be recognized at LEAD Provincial Conferences in the spring. Collegiate chapters giving at least $100 will also receive CMP credit for Chapter of Excellence.

Donations to the Leadership Foundation supports professional, scholastic and personal development for Deltasigs. E-mail foundation@dspnet.org or call 513-523-1907 with questions.
