Announcements

National Convention Headquarters Tour, August 2010
  • The new regional realignment plan was introduced. This plan added six more regions to bring the total to eighteen. By adding more regions we were able to make them more compact and reducing the number of chapters per region. This will allow for stronger and more frequent interaction between chapters, allow chapters to have larger leadership roles in their region conference planning and allow more chapters to receive award recognition at our annual banquet.
  • A New Alumni Chapter was chartered. Alumni in the Middle Tennessee area have a chapter to call their own. At the last meeting of its term, the 2008-2010 National Council approved a petition to recognize the newly formed Middle Tennessee Alumni Chapter (MTAC). The chapter was founded by Katie Peachey and Matt Peachey, with Katie assuming the role of the chapter's first delegate.
  • The 2011 Alternative Break Project location was announced. On Saturday morning, Vice President of Chapter Development Kyle Williams announced that the 2011 Project would be held at the Kipp Diamond Academy in Memphis, TN. Brothers from across the country will travel to Kipp to help support the school.
  • The fraternity had a special presentation about Chapter Risk Management. Mark Mores, the fraternity's representative from James R. Favor & Company, LLC spoke to the Grand Chapter assembly about the many risks involved in Chapter operations as well as how Chapters can proactively mange those risks.
