09/29/2010 Alumni Vs. Active Football:

Hi Everyone,
I wanted to personally thank everyone for coming out on Saturday! I hope we all enjoyed ourselves and it truly was a great day to be outside. I'm definitely feeling the aches and pain but it was worth it. You should know that your attendance and constant dedication to the fraternity adds legitimacy to what we are trying to do with the Alumni Association. The more alumni we can get to attend events such as these will only have a positive impact on the active fraternity. This in turn will add to us creating a successful alumni network which we can all benefit from being a part of. I look forward to seeing everyone at the Alumni Meeting on October 16th in Hoboken. If you have any input or question before please don't hesitate to give me a call.
First Annual Alumni Association Meeting.
Date: Saturday afternoon Oct. 16th
Time: 2pm-6pm
Location: Shipyard Marina 1301 Sinatra Drive, Hoboken NJ 07030
Thank you!! & Chi Once!
Bob

04/07/2010 Sigma Theta Chi Alumni Association Announcement:

Sigma Theta Chi Fraternity 
Est. 1937 
Alumni Association 

The Sigma Theta Chi Fraternity Alumni Association releases the following letter to all  Sigma Theta Chi Alumni:   
  
Dear Alumni: 
Over the years we have all seen the highs and lows that Sigma Theta Chi has occupied. As alumni we have donated our sweat and tears on numerous occasions to an organization that deserves it. We write this letter as a reminder that even though you have progressed on from collegiate life; Sigma Theta Chi Fraternity still needs our support. 
This newsletter is to inform all alumni that a formal, structured Alumni Association is in the process of being developed. As of recently, a few alumni from different generations have taken the initial steps to establish a legitimate alumni association consisting of a constitution, by-laws, and a Committee Board. We have created an organization with the same traditions we upheld as brothers. The future will be based on specific goals that will benefit all alumni of Sigma Theta Chi and provide helpful resources for the current active fraternity.    
The purpose for deciding to re-structure is to stabilize both alumni and active fraternity, create oversight, and construct a working rapport with the University that recognizes our organization as a whole. In accomplishing these goals we strive to keep the alumni more informed, involved and connected to the fraternity we all called home at one 
point.
The main focus of this Association will be:

1. Cement the existence of the active fraternity 
2. Develop structured communication 
3. Plan social events & activities 
4. Offer scholarships & philanthropy  
5. Promote networking opportunities 
To aid in reaching our objective we have established an alumni website (www.chialumni.com). This website will be a major avenue of communication to keep alumni informed on all aspects of the association. Please visit and register with the site to help with the continued progress of making a successful Alumni Association and active fraternity. 
Following this letter is an invitation to the first Alumni Association “Meet and Greet” June 
5th at 2pm at Bar Anticipation (Bar A) in Lake Como, NJ. To RSVP or for more information 
please visit the website. 
GOD BLESS CHI
