Brother Tait entered the Chapter Eternal on March 17, 2016. Letter from the President Brothers, Family and Friends, As president, I am charged with informing you of the state of the Alpha Chi Rho Educational Foundation as well as thanking you for your support. Ever since the early days of the Foundation, back in the 1950’s, our goal was to provide aid to the members and the Fraternity at large. We have evolved through six decades and this report has been created to help you understand the impact your donations make in the lives of our members, Chapters and the overall Fraternity. During 2015, through the National Fraternity, we provided funding for several educational programs designed to support and educate leaders from all of the Chapters. • IMPACT training sessions held during the National Convention in Indiana. • Annual Winter Conclave designed to promote professional development of our members. Topics included mental health, social media management and etiquette to name a few. • Online member education with the “No2Hazing” program. The goal is to empower our members with knowledge in order prevent hazing. We have maintained our annual scholarships program detailed later in this report. We continue to offer student loans to undergraduate and graduate members, as well as to members of your family. Chapters benefit from the support provided to the local Scholarship Advisors. We continue to stress that academic achievement and reinforcing course work should take priority over social activities. I hope you have a greater understanding of how we utilize your gifts to benefit the Chapters and their members. We look forward to building men of “Character, Honor & Integrity”.
