Kappa Alumni of Sigma Phi Delta, Inc.

The Kappa Chapter Spring EOT was held on the weekend of April 2nd. Thank you to all of those who were in attendance as well as those who weren't able to make it but still paid their annual dues and designated a proxy. Your support is much appreciated! The weekend activities consisted of the usual socializing, the Semi-Annual Meeting, and a Brotherhood dinner. The meeting only lasted just shy of an hour and a half, one of the shortest yet! The Treasurer's accounting report was presented, which is now available in the Download Center: Accounting Report 04-02-16. The issue with sewage backup in the basement was further discussed. The repair effort will require Thunder Drive to be closed down for approximately 3 days since portions of the road will need to be torn up and then repaired. Due to the impacts that this will have, the repair will be scheduled after school is out for the summer. The quotes available at the time of the meeting were between $15,000 and $25,000. It was decided to go with the $15,000 quote from T&T. The fire pit project was also discussed. The voting quorum agreed to a $20,000 budget that had been previously discussed, but it was decided not to officially move forward until the sewer line issue has been addressed and paid for. If you haven't had a chance to pay your annual dues yet this year, this would be a great time to do so. Dues payments help to pay for Castle projects like the sewer line and the fire pit, and even though they are only $50 a year, every little bit helps. Or if you would like to donate toward one or both of these projects, that would be much appreciated. To read the full minutes, check out the Download Center: Meeting Minutes 04-02-2016. The formal Brotherhood dinner was located at Mad Anthony's in Angola, which included a cocktail hour and dinner. The attendance ended up being more than expected requiring multiple extra tables to be set up, which was definitely a good thing. It's always nice to see more people than expected. All in all, it was a great weekend. The next EOT weekend will coincide with Trine Homecoming the weekend of October 1st. More information will be made available as the planning progresses.
