2 Dear Fratres and Friends,

At all Sigma Alpha Mu Conventions, participants wear a name/chapter/title badge. Attached to it are ribbons indicating your “role” in the fraternity (e.g., Foundation,

Director,”Supreme Council,and asked Chapter me why Officer) I volunteer. On Saturday, I smiled an and undergraduate said, “You.” He (some understood. 50 years younger than I) approached me, saw that I had a ribbon that said “Foundation The Sigma Alpha Mu Foundation, chartered in 1944, was progressive and prescient when it decided that its primary missions were to “support the educational interests and activities of Sigma Alpha Mu Fraternity [and] to furnish student aid…” Few could have predicted what would happen to tuition since the inception of the Foundation. Tuition, fees, room and board and other expenses can amass to over $50,000 per year for an undergraduate education. During the period of 1978-2010, the Consumer Price Index increased just under three-fold; housing prices increased four-fold; and tuition rose by over ten-fold!

Our alumni have invested in their younger brothers. The Foundation awarded a total of $205,600 in scholarships. These awards included 92 Guller Young Scholars and 134 endowed scholarships, aiding students from 52 colleges and universities. Noteworthy is that 10 of these scholarships, totaling $10,000, were for the daughters of fratres and other students, including students involved with USY () and OnNFTY a per (North chapter American basis, ourFederation fraternity of awardsTemple moreYouth). scholarship dollars than any other fraternity, a fact in which I take great pride. It is truly the ultimate example of our fraternity’s ideals in action. experiences your gifts have supported…. In their letters, ΣAM Foundation scholarship recipients have shared meaningful help enrich the academic and community experiences of our fratres, “now and for all time.” Your continued gifts to the ΣAM Foundation for scholarships and leadership education Thank you for all you do and will do!
