SEC meeting

Gentlemen,

Here is the latest, as I know it. As I previously reported, the Supreme Executive Committee of Kappa Sigma will meet on October 11, 2008 in Portales, New Mexico. The SEC has requested that the active chapter appear before them at this meeting regarding the future of Kappa Sigma at USM. I have asked the executive director of Kappa Sigma, Mitchell Wilson (Mic), if it would be advisable for the alumni to send a representative to appear at this meeting. Mic responded that it would be a good idea. I've consulted with various other alumni on this matter and we all agree that it would be in our best interests, as alumni, to send someone to the meeting.

One major problem with this meeting is the timing: the date is the same as that of the "Mo-morial" golf tournament, and many alumni will be participating in that event. Also, with the Boise State football game on campus that night, many alumni will certainly be attending the game. It appears now that I may be our only representative at the meeting, as much as I hate to miss the golf tourney and the BSU game.

I plan to convey to the SEC that we, as alumni of the Epsilon Nu Chapter, are committed to bringing Kappa Sigma back to USM as soon as possible. They also need to know that we will support the recolonization effort financially.

We still need your financial support. In addition to the trip to the SEC meeting, we will be faced with $6,000-plus expenses from nationals for re-chartering and miscellaneous fees. Send checks to:

Kappa Sigma Epsilon Nu Alumni Association

Someone issued the challenge that each of us pony up $50.00. Many have responded. That will definitely help. If everyone reading this blog meets the challenge, we will be in pretty good shape.
