Your contributions to this past year's campaign have and will continue to help us meet our goal of increased scholarship and educa­ tional benefits to our Brotherhood. With this new and exciting funding program now fully in place and en­ joying generous and wide spread sup­ port, we look forward to all that we can accomplish together in 1990 and beyond. This new year marks the introduction of a special planned giv­ ing program in order to assist Broth­ ers who are interested in using their estate plans or other long term vehi­ cles to benefit Delta Sigma Pi. In addition to their financial sup­ port, many Brothers have asked how they can continue to be involved. For example, we recently received letters from three Brothers in the Seattle area asking how they could start a a new alumni chapter and even how they could start new collegiate chap­ ters in the Northwest Region.

CONNECTICUT, THETA IOTA-Among our social activities last semester was a trip to the annual Yale-UCONN football game. The collegiate and alumni Brothers en­ joyed a sunny tailgate party which was highlighted by our football team's victory. Another memorable event was a wine & cheese reception held at Faculty Brother Lewis Mandel's. home in honor of our new adivsor, Dr. David Palmer. In October the Brothers made their sec­ ond annual trip to Windham Hospital, dressed up in traditional (and not so tra­ ditional) Halloween garb, to visit the pa­ tients. Also, Theta Iota Chapter is thankful for an enlightening professional program which included presentations by two of our alumni, Terrel Bors-McDon­ ald and Marcy Kramer.

These new Brothers showed great determination and initiative during their pledge period which indicated that they would be good Brothers. Another accomplishment was the de­ velopment of our newsletters into a fund raiser. We did this by selling advertising space in our newsletter for $15.00 a space. This turned a $250.00 expense into a $70.00 money maker. Last semester we also enjoyed a much higher attendance record than in past semesters. This is due greatly to renewed enthusiasm that was brought back from the Grand Chapter Congress in St. Louis this past summer.

EVANSVILLE, IOTA SIGMA-"Brother­ hood" is what the Iota Sigma Chapter was trying to achieve last semester. We started off experiencing the great sense of Brotherhood at the 37th Grand Chapter Congress. Our chapter sent five Brothers. They were so excited when they came back and had many great ideas. Thanks St. Louis! The Brotherhood continued through recruiting. Everyone was so enthusiastic and it sure did show; we had 11 people pledge. We were excited and we are look­ ing forward to the new initiates contribut­ ing much to our chapter. We also had an Alumni/ Founders' Day party which really summed up our theme of Brotherhood. We are fortunate to be getting reacquainted with our alumni and encourage our alumni to become more involved. The Iota Sigma Chapter is off to a great start for the 1989-90 school year. We are aiming high for a 100,000 CEI point year and looking forward to sustaining this great sense of Brotherhood our chapter feels.

22 Winter, 1990 Headquarters Headlines

With this issue-of The Deltasig ends another era in the history of the publi­ cation and the history of the staff of The Central Office. Brother Michael T. Walsh has left the staff for another professional opportunity. Since 1981, Mike has been closely involved with The Deltasig, first as Associate Editor and then as Managing Editor. His dedicated service on the staff of Delta Sigma Pi began in 1978 as a Chapter Consultant, a position which he held until the summer of 1980. He returned to the staff in April, 1981 and was named Assistant Executive Director in June of that year. Over his nearly twelve years of service, Mike has been a positive, motiva­ ting force for many of our members. My fondest memories of Mike are of those times when he would spend the extra time he really didn't have and would take the extra personal interest that was always genuine to just sit down with members on a one-on-one or more basis to mutually hammer out a plan for long range success. We are an organization of people and this basic person-to-person approach which Mike knows so well transcends the manuals, forms, laws and policies which are a part of Delta Sigma Pi. Brother Walsh has been named the Executive Vice President of the Inde­ pendent Insurance Agents of Kentucky, Inc., a trade association headquar­ tered in Louisville. We all wish Mike, his wife, Carolyn (Theta Phi-South Florida) and sons, Patrick and Kevin, all the best in this new chapter in their lives. Mike Walsh

Also ending an era at The Central Office is Marjorie Wisecup. Marge re­ tired at the end of January, 1990. She joined the staff in 1973 as a typist and was promoted to the position of Bookkeeper in 1977. Many of our readers have had the pleasure of meeting Marge at several of the Grand Chapter Congresses. We also wish her the best in her new life of leisure! With endings and "good-byes" also come some beginnings. Joining the staff are two new members. Janet Morgan serves in the role of a Typist and joins us after several years with SCOPE, a non-profit organization which conducted Headstart, H.E.A.T., Senior Citizen and Meals on Wheels programs.

Marge Wisecup

Also joining the staff is Lynnette Servaes, Chapter Consultant. A native Californian, Lynnette is a Fall, 1987 initiate of Epsilon Phi Chapter at Cali­ fornia State University at Sacramento. She served her chapter as Secretary, Senior Vice President and as President. In addition, she attended the 37th Grand Chapter Congress in St. Louis and was the recipient of the Ben H. Wolfenberger Undergraduate Study Award in 1989. Receiving a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree with a concentration in marketing and finance in 1989, Lynnette has a varied back­ ground of work experiences, most recently with Wells Fargo Bank. She is also involved in The International Order of the Rainbow for Girls. She affiliated with this organization in 1980 and has held several national offices including: Nevada Grand Worthy Advisor, Grand Executive Committee member and Nevada Representative to the 1986 World Conference. Lyn­ nette will spend the next two years traveling among the chapters of the fra­ ternity providing counseling and advisory services. Lynnette Servaes
