Thoughts on Convention 2003

Mu Phi Epsilon will be 100 years old on November 13, 2003. What a celebration there was in Cincinnati in August! I wish each one of you could have been there. The music was superb and performed at every business meeting, luncheon, dinner, many concerts and two lobby sings. What else would one expect at a Mu Phi convention?

Friends that I made I will cherish in memory and some of them I hope to see again soon. Martha Whitmore, president of Denton Alumni and Dana Seals, Delta Pi at Tarleton were my tablemates at the business meetings. We enjoyed getting to know each other.

Harmony was evident in all that we did. Everything went smoothly, thanks to efficient planning. When help was needed, the response was swift. Of course, there was discussion on some issues, but all were resolved peacefully. There was a great feeling of anticipation, excitement and fellowship throughout the whole convention. It was an experience I shall never forget. 

Finally to witness Wynona, confident, efficient and yet so warm and personable in her role as International President was such a pleasure. She sang beautifully the night of the banquet. What a talented lady. Hopefully she will be with us often in the future.

Financial Considerations

In October, Cynthia shared with the chapter the following summary of a letter from International Executive Board to be read to all chapters.

The fraternity is $60,000.00 in debt from the 2003 convention due to:

1. Fund collected for 2 years instead of 3

2. An expected grant that was not awarded

3. Stock investments down

4. Costs of convention exceeded estimates

Ways to eliminate debt:

1. Every chapter is asked to have a fund raising event. Kurt-Alexander Zeller will match the highest amount raised by an alumni chapter up to $5,000.00.

2. 75 bonus points to each chapter having a fundraiser.
