Now Accepting Nominations for the Theta Chi Alumni Association Board of Directors

Brothers,

I am pleased to announce that nominations are now open for the Alumni Board of Theta Chi of Penn State. If you continue to value the experience that Omega chapter has provided for you and for others for more than 90 years, consider nominating yourself or another brother to serve a two-year term on the Alumni Board of Directors. 

The alumni board serves the alumni brotherhood and undergraduates in a variety of ways. We coordinate alumni communications, plan annual events and reunions, manage the chapter property, provide short-term and long-term financial planning, and help to advise and support the active chapter. Engaged alumni volunteers are essential to a well-run fraternity.

As many of you may already know, Greek Life at Penn State has undergone significant changes over the past year due to the horrific incident at Beta Theta Pi. With these sweeping changes come a whole new set of challenges for our chapter and the way we operate. Our brotherhood will be in greater need of collaboration and strong leadership to help us prevail and thrive through these new challenges.=

Serving on the board is a great opportunity to meet and get to know brothers from different eras, to be invited to Theta Chi leadership and networking conferences both regionally and nationally, and to stay in touch with the undergraduate chapter and membership.  

Some of you may feel that you don't have the required experience or expertise to serve on the board. We urge you to toss that thought aside and volunteer if you have passion for your chapter as many of our alumni do. What's most important is that you are willing to invest a bit of your time and energy in support of the chapter and the experience that we aim to provide. By bringing together brothers with a variety of skill sets and a willing spirit, we can continue to offer a helping hand to our members for many years to come.

Please consider nominating yourself or another brother to serve in this essential role. Nominations can be submitted to me via email at kevintrippel@gmail.com and will be accepted through October 11th. If nominating another brother, please include their current phone number or email so that they may accept their nomination.  Thank you for your time.

Theta Chi for Life,

Kevin Trippel '14
