ALUMNI LETTER SPRING 2008

Brothers of ΔΚΣ, October 17, 2008

It is the beginning of a great semester up at Canton College with our 9 active members. Over the summer, the corporate board worked with Dan Sweeney to obtain off campus housing for the active members. We are happy to report that this was achieved. The house was actually rented to Canton College; in turn the college has rented it to 7 active members of ΔΚΣ fraternity for the 2008-2009 school year. It is with no surprise that we as an organization owe another huge thank you to one of our greatest assets and supporters, Dan Sweeney. Dan was the influential backbone of this collaboration between the college and our fraternity.

The corporate board has encouraged the active members to take pride in their new home. As always, Alumni who stop in for a visit should be respectful of any rules that the active members have implemented. This is to help ensure the upkeep of the house remains intact. To aid and assist in keeping our fraternity thriving, effective immediately it now required that all ΔΚΣ alumni must have their $50 alumni dues paid before being allowed to enter the house. The corporate board has spent $750 on items needed for the new house; and this was feasible based on the support of the alumni who have paid their dues. The items purchased include a sofa, coffee table, 2 end tables, vacuum, and cleaning supplies. The more support we receive from alumni (local or not), the more ability we have to continue to help the actives members maintain the new house and creating unforgettable memories as a ΔΚΣ brother.

Pledging will start Oct. 21st and hell weekend starts Friday, Nov. 7th at which time, the corporate board will once again be hosting the 3rd Bi-annual “Alumni Dinner”. Dinner will be hosted at the Campus Center multi-purpose room, 6:30PM meet and greet, 7PM dinner, 8PM corporate board/actives/alumni discussions relating to current affairs of the fraternity, Cost is $25 paid at-the-door. We are expecting 30+ members to be attending this semester and if you would like to secure your seat at the dinner, please pre-pay either online or by sending a $25.00 check payable to DKS Fraternity Realty at Canton Corp. c/o Ken Stagnari, 12 Knights Circle, Baldwinsville, NY 13027. The dinner continues to provide a great forum for alumni to meet the pledges. After dinner most will be going out to enjoy some of the local nightlife and catch with old friends. Saturday morning we usually meet up for mid-morning brunch and then to the DK party. Come up for a great, safe, memorable weekend!

Over the summer our brother Steve “Father” Faith had a tragic fire that left him and his family without a home and almost all personal possessions were lost. The corporate board reacted immediately to this misfortune and posted information about the fire on the ΔΚΣ website for donations to the Faith family. I am happy to report that the brothers of ΔΚΣ raised $1,475.00; in total, 19 brothers donated at the ΔΚΣ website, and others made direct donations to the family. We would like to thank all of those who generously helped out during this difficult time.

As of the 25th of September the balance of the Corporate Board account stood at $1,503.34. The corporate board members would like to thank all those who have placed their trust in our efforts and would like to formally recognize the following members for their contributions to the ΔΚΣ Fraternity since February of this year: Ryan Franklin, Nick Gaetano, Nick Hallada, Lonnie Lowe, Bill Ward, Eric Weavier, and Robert Wu. . Without their generous support and investment, the continued growth of the Fraternity would not be possible. For those wishing to stay current with their alumni dues and support our growth, donations and dues can be made online via Paypal at the DK website: www.deltakappasigma.com/donations.htm or by check/money order made payable to DKS Fraternity Realty at Canton Corp., c/o Ken Stagnari, 12 Knights Circle, Baldwinsville, NY 13027.
