Dear Alpha Gamma Alumni Brother {FIRST_NAME},
I hope this long overdue update finds you all well!
House Corporation would like to give you a quick “what’s happening” with the Chapter and itself.
* During the 2009-2010 school year the Chapter initiated 40 highly qualified young men pushing membership above 80 for the first time in many years.
* The Chapter will be delivering its first serious application for a Peterson Award since the early 1990’s.
* House Corporation continues its aggressive pay down of debt. Barring unforeseen repair/maintenance issues we anticipate reducing debt by some $40,000.00 during our upcoming fiscal year. Our goal is to be debt free by October, 2013.
* With the help of Jim Smiley (Chapter Advisor) and Tim Michael (Recruitment Advisor) we have initiated a mentoring program pairing the Chapter’s Executive Officers with distinguished alumni who wish to be involved with young brothers at a “one on one” level.
* House Corporation was able to budget for the purchase of a full compliment of tables and chairs for the Chapter. Consequently, they have brought back formal Monday night dinner, and were able to host their first Derby Darling Dinner in almost a decade.
* Our “Annual Giving Campaign” that started fall of 2009 raised almost $7,500.00 to tackle maintenance issues and summer projects on our beloved 55 year old chapter house. Matt Berry has graciously volunteered to organize and take the Annual Giving Campaign to the next level. Our goal is to raise $20,000.00 this school year.
House Corporation is constantly in need of additional volunteers so please consider getting involved with your Alpha Gamma Chapter that has continuously operated at OSU for the past 128 years.
Mark your callWe also encourage you to attend the 2010 Homecoming Dinner being held at either the Scioto Country Club or the new Student Union on Friday, October 22nd. Please take this opportunity to learn first hand what is going on and capitalize on sharing your experiences with our young brothers.
In Hoc!
