SEPTEMBER 11TH WORLD TRADE CENTER REPORTER TO ADDRESS SIGS

We had originally planned on just letting our September meeting be a
time for a quite get together due to the date. Bro. Bart Graves
however came up with a wonderful idea for a speaker and we are very
pleased to present the following announcement.

SEPTEMBER 11TH WORLD TRADE CENTER REPORTER TO ADDRESS SIGS

John Gibson, anchor/reporter for KFYI-AM 550, who reported from New
York City and Ground Zero within 72 hours of the attack and for the

The meeting is set for Wednesday, September 11th, at the Phoenix City Grille,

Scholarship Established in Dr. Bert Snyder’s Memory

The Alumni Chapter Executive Committee has decided that an excellent
way that we can remember Dr. Snyder and all that he did for the
Fraternity that he loved would be to establish a scholarship in his honor.

As part of our Charter to support the Active Chapter within our
geographic area Epsilon Upsilon at ASU and our adopted Active Chapter
of Zeta Omicron up at NAU we will be selecting one Brother from
either ASU or NAU that will be moving into his Senior Year of
School. The Scholarship amount will $500.00 and will be judged on a
combination of three criteria: 1. Scholastic Achievement, 2. A 500
word essay on “What Brotherhood Means To Me” and 3. The contributions
that the applicant has made to his Chapter.

We will also be establishing a plaque bearing Bert’s likeness that
will be held in trust year to year by the host Chapter of that years Recipient.

We feel that these are three traits that Bro. Bert clearly
demonstrated. Since the Award is partially based on grades the
deadline for application is still being determined. As we finalize
this award we will provide further information.

ASU News – Two quick notes

The other day I met the Alumni Advisor and the House Corp President
for SigEp at our House and the Advisor complimented our guys. He
said that the previous weekend he had been on the Row and our guys
had invited he and his Girlfriend over to our House where we were
having a private party. He said he could not believe how Risk
Management conscience our guys were in how they controlled the
door. They both wanted to know how our guys had gotten that way.

I also just found out that our guys had originally just planned on
taking a small Pledge Class this semester (this would mean around 30
or so) but by the time the second day of Rush had ended they were
talking 65! Well this evening at Bid Night the count stood at 72 new
Pledges for the Epsilon Upsilon Chapter!

Start clearing your calenders for the morning of Saturday, January
11, 2003 because I am going to need lots of help with Alumni
Interviews with a Pledge Class of this size!
