Harvard Yale 2012

Dear Kappa Eta Alumni, 


My name is Andrew Karn (Alpha Tau, Class of 2013), and I am honored to be the Harvard-Yale Chair this year. I wanted to reach out and extend a formal invitation to you to our 22nd Annual Kappa Eta Harvard-Yale Weekend!

As Kappa Eta Sigma Chi now stands, we have amassed over 350 alumni and are 50 actives strong, and our new Alpha Psi pledge class of 10 is sure to be a great addition. As always we are a group comprised of different temperaments, talents, and convictions and one that shares common ideals and friendship. We, the active brothers, are proud to have such distinguished and great alumni, and cannot wait to spend the greatest weekend of the year with as many of you as possible!

The $125 registration fee for alumni and $50 fee for guests of alumni will grant you access to a weekend of festivities including Friday’s pre-game and Dinner, Saturday’s 22nd Annual Kegs ’n Eggs Tailgate, the subsequent bar crawl and party at the House, and an all-around raging good time. Please click this link below and click on "Register" to reserve your spot for the festivities.

Many of you attended the 20th Anniversary Celebration in 2010… But for those who didn’t or for those with hazy memories please watch this video.

Founder Rick Smith, in his wisdom and forethought, has initiated a big push to augment the undergraduate-planned events with Party Buses, Live Entertainment, and—with enough support—Professional Cheerleaders (as per his recent email). We want to give a big shout-out to the many Brothers who have already committed to contributions above the weekend’s $125 registration fee. To join their ranks, you can add a donation to your registration fees on the payment page. If you have any questions about donations or want to donate without registering, you can reach out to Chris Acton-Maher at chrisam@gmail.com

We are excited to have you all back in town, and look forward to a great weekend!

January Newsletter

The Latest Newsletter From Your Worthy Tribune, Devon Long '12

Message from the Tribune

Brothers,


I hope this message finds you well. I will be serving as your Tribune for this upcoming semester, and want to take a moment to introduce myself. I am currently a senior and joined Sigma Chi my freshman spring as a member of the Alpha Pi pledge class. Since then, I have had the privilege of serving as Historian and Pro-Consul, and this fraternity has become a vital part of my college experience.

Attached is the September 2011 newsletter, and I hope you have the chance to read through it to get a sense of what the undergraduate chapter is up to. For brothers in the Boston area, we will be hosting a few alumni/undergrad events at the house this semester. For brothers elsewhere, I hope you can make it out to HY (at Yale this year). Our 20th anniversary last year was epic, and I assure you turning 21 will be no less a cause for celebration.

Please feel free to reach out to me for anything, and I hope to get to know as many of you as possible this upcoming year.

-Brother Long

A Note from the Chapter Advisor

Dear Brothers,

For the last two years, I've had the great pleasure and honor of serving as the Chapter Advisor of the Kappa Eta Chapter of the Sigma Chi Fraternity.  I wanted to take a brief minute to update you about some substantial progress that's been made over the past few years, and to give you an update on the chapter house.


Over the past two years, the chapter has successfully dealt with a number of problems that threatened to weaken the chapter.  A few years ago, dues collection fell to an unsustainable level, which led to the creation of a substantial debt owed to the international fraternity.  In order to retire this debt, the chapter raised dues to $695 for the first two years of active membership, and $595 thereafter, and I am happy to report that it has achieved a better than 90% dues collection rate each semester over the past two years, paying off that debt.  

In recent months, the undergraduate chapter has worked with the House Corporation to make serious improvements to the house.  The most notable improvement is, of course, the finished basement, photos of which are attached.  Thanks are due to the many generous alumni who have donated to the house improvement effort.  In addition, the undergraduate chapter has undertaken its own fundraising drive, with over 70% of current undergraduates having made pledges or contributions.  A number of these contributions have already been made, and some of them have been very substantial.  I'd like to recognize four undergraduate brothers in particular who have contributed more than $1,000 each, making them new members of the Norman Shield Society.

As these brothers contributed out of their summer earnings and signing bonuses, and these contributions represent a significant sacrifice on their part.  By contributing significant funds as well as individual labor in maintaining the house, the undergraduate chapter hopes to express its gratitude for the alumni contributions, as well as its commitment to continuous improvement of the house.

Despite the recent improvements, much work remains to be done.  Among other projects, we need to complete capital improvements on the house, pay down the mortgage, and develop better alumni networking programs for the future. I hope that if you have not done so already, you'll contribute to our ongoing fundraising drive by making a contribution online. In addition, because we have not yet exhausted the matching funds pledged by our very generous alums, any contribution you make will be doubled.
Brothers, thank you for your time and for your generous contributions.  Please let me know if you have any questions, and if your travels take you through Cambridge, please contact me so that I can arrange a tour of the house so that you can see that your contributions are being well-spent.

IH/C,
Dan Craig

PS: The chapter has just concluded a very successful recruitment process, extending 18 bids to new potential brothers.  The success of this semester's recruitment was covered by the Harvard Crimson.  You can read the articles here: http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2011/2/14/fraternities-sororities-sigma-rush/ and here:http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2011/2/11/rush-men-number-frats/.
