Current Year's Events
During the spring, SAAC will be participating in the Hershey Bar War again this year against Epsilon Xi.
January 2014: SAAC began a new year with a good old fashion game night. Everyone enjoyed a night of fellowship filled with Cards Against Humanity and a potluck of finger food. Prior to the night's festivities, members met for the first meeting of the semester to elect officers, discuss upcoming events, and set goals for the year.
February 2014: For the February scholarship event, SAAC hosted a regional Leadership in Action module titled "Succession Planning: Developing Rising Stars". Collegiate Members within SAAC's region were invited. Members of SAAC and Epsilon Xi were in attendance and learned a lot about identifying leadership in others, how to apply this identification in our Chapters, and developed plans toward leadership development. Afterwards, SAAC Members enjoyed an early dinner and monthly meeting at Ruby Tuesday.
March 2014: March is a service event month for SAAC. SAAC Members are participating in several service projects tied with several regional conference events; therefore, a single service event will not be planned.
April 2014: There was not an official April event for SAAC. However, SAAC was recognized in the month of April for winning the Hershey Bar War for the second year in a row!
May 2014/June 2014: In May 2014, SAAC held a meeting primarily to discuss National Convention. As usual, this meeting also included a potluck! For a combined scholarship/leadership(service)/fundraising event, SAAC will hold their first yard sale. Proceeds of the yard sale will go toward the SAAC budget, which includes donations to Chapters within the SAAC geographical area and to the Phi Sigma Pi Foundation. Any unsold items will be donated to a local charity. Also, since SAAC Members will all be in the same place, Members are encouraged to bring information to the event regarding possible service projects that SAAC can participate with in the future.
