Hey everyone, lots of new info!

• Gamma Xi is requesting Brothers and Alumni to be interviewed by their new Initiate class. If you’d like to participate, drop me a line.
• Nominations for NAA Delegates are currently open, and closing next Wed, May 16th. You can nominate you or someone else here.
• The 2012 proposed amendments are now online for everyone to read and look over. They’re available here. (Because the document contains proposed amendments to The Phi Sigma Pi Ceremonies it is password protected. The password is the fraternal word. Having trouble with recalling the word? Contact the National Office.)
• Candidates for 2012 National Council are up! You can read all about them here.
• Our Form 530 is due June 1st, so please register for the NAA if you haven’t already. Please be sure to list DVAC as your affiliate Chapter! You can register here.
• Alternative Break Project is starting this weekend through May 20th. We had planned on visiting the ABP group in Newark, so can we try and firm up those plans? I know we had also mentioned maybe bringing them lunch. Shout out how we’d like to go about this.
• Our “Day at the Races” event is coming up next weekend on May 19th from 2-7pm. We’ll be going to Delaware Park and Casino to watch the Preakness. Check out the Facebook event for more details: here.
• Our big ICR event weekend for Philly Beer Week is June 1-3. If you haven’t RSVP’ed to the Facebook event yet, please do, so I can get an accurate headcount for National. The event is here.
• Alumni Convention is coming up on June 15 in Chicago. Registration has been extended until May 15th, so you still have a couple of days to sign up.

Because of all that’s going on right now, especially the amendments, Council candidates, and Form 530, I’d like to have a meeting this month. Things seem to go well if we eat somewhere and then do something afterward, so perhaps we can do lunch and then go to Dino Don’s Dinosaurium, or Pottsgrove Manor. Does Sunday, May 20th work for everyone? If not, what about the weekend of May 26th and 27th? Let me know!

The long-awaited schedule for our Philly Beer Week ICR Weekend! Check it out!

Let me know if you have any other ideas for events, things to go on the website, or questions about anything I listed!

Hi everyone, Kristin here. I’ve got a few exciting events coming up!

First up is “First Friday Social” coming up this Friday. We’ll be heading out to Old City for some great drink specials. The Facebook event for it is here. ((EDIT: This event was cancelled, since everyone’s going out of town for the holiday weekend. Completely poor planning on my part. Thanks everyone!))

In the past, we’ve mentioned going to the Dinosaurium in Media, PA as an event, and Groupon just offered up discount tickets. I’ve bought a set of four, so we’ll be heading out to that at some point in the upcoming months. Even if you’re not getting in on the Groupon discount, regular-priced tickets for the Dinosaurium are just $5, so this will definitely not break the bank. The website for the Dinosaurium is here.

And finally, we’ve been planning a fun-filled weekend of events right around Philly Beer Week. We’ve finally solidified a calendar for that, and I’ll be posting that soon.

Any questions? Ideas for new events? Things you’d like to see on the website? Post a comment and let me know!
