We have a lot of great news to announce to our alumni group and parents this
year:

First, we have our undergraduate chapter back in the house at 835 West
Magnolia Ave after a several years of rebuilding! After this fall’s
initiation, we should have close to 30 brothers active in the chapter. Their
goal is to rapidly grow to a minimum of 50 in the very near future.

Second, our fundraising efforts so far this year have been fantastic! To
date in 2009, alumni brothers and parents have contributed $13,630 to the
association, money that is used to update the house, communicate with alumni
and parents, and operate the alumni association. Thank you to all that have
given and continue to give!

Third, we have spent over $140,000 upgrading the house this year. We have
installed a university mandated fire sprinkler system, new carpet and tile
in the living room and hallways, new bathroom stall dividers, furnished an
alumni/parent suite, new concrete stairs down the side of the house and many
other improvements. The next big capital project is the replacement of all
doors in the house with fire rated doors. We estimate this project around
$40,000 and needs to be completed by fall of 2010, so any help is greatly
appreciated.

Fourth, I am looking forward to the *2009 Homecoming Weekend* at the house
and want to take this opportunity to invite all of our alumni and parents to
join us for the weekend. A postcard reminder is going out at the beginning
of next week. We have a full day of events planned for November 7th back at
the house. Come join us in welcoming our new undergraduates and reconnecting
with old friends. Here is a listing of events for the day:

*8am - 9am - Association Meeting*

*9am -11am - Champagne Brunch - Hosted by Undergraduate Chapter and Parent’s
Club*

*11am - 1pm - Tailgating at the House*

*1pm - 5pm - Auburn v. Furman (estimated game time)*

*6pm - 9pm - Alumni Reception (catered by Firehouse Subs)*

Finally, we are going to be doing an auction for the alumni/parent suite for
Homecoming Weekend. It will include the suite for Friday and Saturday night
as well as 2 tickets to the game! Look for an email detailing this auction
in the next few days. If you are planning to come down for any of the events
on Saturday at the house, please shoot me a quick email so we can plan for
enough food for our events: We look forward to
seeing you there!

WAR EAGLE!
