Quality vs. Quantity

Bob Kerr has sent in another article for your consideration. As usual it is excellent and thoughtful material.
In a critical examination of the sustainability of the North American Fraternal Movement, it might be helpful to ascertain some basic facts about the Movement. For me, long have I wondered about the debate between [...]

Another opinion on EDGE

We have another point of view on the question of whether EDGE is worthwhile. In the interest of equal coverage we are treating it as a guest post as well…
I have to disagree almost entirely with the previous post in regards to EDGE being a waste of money.
First of all, the numbers that were [...]

Over the EDGE - Guest Post

We have a guest poster today who has some things to say about the EDGE program and how it is run. He has asked to remain private for now, but he is a person who is “in a position to know” as the news media would say.
The Summer ‘08 Journal has solidified my previous inclinations [...]

Dallas Carlson Leadership academy (CLA)

The CLA in Dallas was well attended and by all accounts a success. We were fortunate to have both the current Grand President Steve Shanklin(OGH) and former GP Gary Griffith(OGH) in attendance. In addition to the expected “podium chores” they also were active leaders in the Chapter Officer training sessions.
The only hitch was that [...]

Time for United Way - SigEp Style

This is the time of year that companies have their United Way Campaign drives. The United way helps people through local and national agencies, but did you know you can contribute to the SigEp Educational Foundation through the United Way?
This post from last year shows exactly how to do it. Here is an excerpt:
The [...]

Foundation Donors Snubbed

Who was the sponsor of this hole?

Well, here’s one for you loyal readers out there. A group of alums (called the loyal malcontents by the HQ staff) who consistently give to the foundation (but are not members of the Million $ club) decided they would support the Conclave Golf Tournament and the Foundation by collecting [...]

FratPAC fundraiser in Houston

Last night several fraternity and sorority alumni gathered for a fundraising event in Houston. There were at least 8 SigEps, and as many or more from Alpha Chi Omega, along with smaller groups from several other organizations.
The gathering was sponsored by “The Fraternity and Sorority Political Action Committee” (FratPAC), a group that raises money and [...]

A few final updates and thoughts on Conclave

If you have ever been to a Sigep Conclave, or any big convention, you know there is more to do than can be done. The various meeting tracks inevitably overlap and you find yourself torn between a presentation that will address some specific need and ‘face time’ with HQ people or one of the volunteer [...]
