December Update and A Donate Button?

Hello world!  We have a few updates to give you an idea as to what is going on with the colony in the past month.

1. Joe Mayne spoke on November 5, and it was a great event!  We had a great showing from both colony and non-colony members, which has given us even greater exposure here at the Wisconsin School of Business.  A big thanks to Mr. Mayne for travelling down to Madison to speak to us about branding ourselves in this tough economy.
2. LEAD was a blast!  I do not want to bore people with specific information (that may come in a future blog post) but just know that the colony members who went had an amazing time.  For those of you who do not know our members, you will come February when we bring many down to Lombard, IL for the LEAD Conference.
3. The colony had a Thanksgiving Potluck a few weeks back.  We learned that these members can truly cook!  Each team brought something to the proverbial table, and these items included pasta, puppy chow, green bean casserole (hot dish for those from Minnesota), and beef stew.  I know I am forgetting some so I apologize.  If you feel slighted please comment and tell the world what your team made!
4. Our end of semester banquet is tonight!  It has been a wonderful semester and we are excited to join together to celebrate all we have accomplished.

So, where does that leave us?  We are weeks away from submitting our petition to be reactivated as the Psi Chapter here at UW-Madison.  You may notice that there is a donate button on the front page.  We placed it there because we want to give current and alumni brothers, as well as friends and family, the opportunity to help with our initiation fees.  We do our best, as a colony, to limit the amount of money that is required for members to be a part of Delta Sigma Pi.  It is because of this that we are reaching out to all of you.  Your generosity will allow the expansion of Delta Sigma Pi and the initiation of more than 60 new Brothers into the fraternity.  Furthermore, this donation will help the goal of the colony as a whole to make a positive impact in the Wisconsin School of Business and the Madison community.  $1 or $100, anything will help in our quest to become a chapter.  The donate button accepts all major credit cards as well as PayPal accounts.

If you have any questions about the colony to chapter process, the events we have done, or anything else please do not hesitate to contact me, Scott, at scott@uwdsp.com.  Or you can also contact our President, Cody Candee, at cody@uwdsp.com.  It has been a quite the semester, but I have a feeling that if things go as planned, next semester will make history.
