Undergrad NBD members request feedback

The undergraduate members of the National Board of directors are asking for feedback from chapter officers. They say they want to increase interaction between the members and the board. Great idea. We are all for it.
But…, Um…, er…, how come it took an entire year for them to figure out how to send [...]

Conundrum Redux

Most of the following was posted to the blog in 2004. It doesn’t appear that much has changed in the past four years.
For a fraternity with so many alumni out there, it seems we are totally depended with just the talent that resides in our past-staff (former RD’s and/or HQ staff). Now, in 2008, it [...]

We have received word that a member of the SigEp National Board of Directors has resigned.
Brent Bentrim sent his resignation in an email to the board members last Thursday in which he cited his differences with certain policies. The strongly worded email, called “the Buzzard letter” because of certain references, ended with his statement [...]

HQ Resignation

Chris Minnis, Director of Operations, has resigned from the staff of SigEp HQ. In a letter reporting results of ongoing operations Minnis concluded with:
On a final note, this is my last report to you. After eight years of service and earning an MBA from the University of Richmond, I am leaving my role with the [...]

Stay tuned…

We don’t normally do “teasers” at S&P, but we got some information yesterday that could be very significant relating to the Fraternity leadership.
For the moment, all we can say is that there may be “gaps” (note plural) soon in some of the senior level positions, both voluntary and otherwise(ambiguity intended).
As soon as we [...]
