| This isn't Your Father's Alumni Corporation Meeting Anymore! OUT: The Typical Alumni Corp Meetings run by our Alumni IN: Inspiring High-Tech Stockholders Meetings run by our Actives
Anyone who attended our Homecoming Stockholders Meeting (previously know as our Alumni Corporation Meeting) saw first hand that there's been some major changes underway at PA Theta. As part of our Leadership Initiative, our chapter is now under new management. Our Actives have now been empowered to run our chapter. Under the guidance of our Alumni, our Actives are taking operational and financial control of our chapter back from our Alumni - the way things used to be prior to the late 60's. Our meetings, from now on referred to as Stockholders Meetings instead of Alumni Corporation Meetings, are now run by our Actives, not by our Alumni as in the past.
Based on the Actives exceptional performance at our Homecoming Meeting and the incredible results they've achieved in the last two years, it's clear that our plan is working and that PA Theta is on-track to emerge as one of the best run fraternities in the country and the top fraternity on the Penn Sate Campus. Please join us for our upcoming Blue-White Stockholders Meeting and see for yourself. Our meetings are now fun, fast-paced, informative, inspiring and will make you Proud to be a Phi! Our Stockholders Meetings... As a critical component of our Leadership Initiative, we will now have three stockholders meetings per year. The first at the beginning of the school year, the second during Homecoming Weekend, and the third during Blue-White Weekend.
Your role as an Active... All actives and pledges are required to attend. All Active Officers will create and deliver a presentation outlining your priorities, goals and accomplishments. Include the steps you've taken to improve the office and your plan to train others to carry on. If facing a difficult issue and need some help, present the issue, your research, possible options, your recommendation and ask our alumni for input and advice. Remember to invite your parents and families - they are welcome and encouraged to attend.
Your role as an Alum... As a stockholder in our organization, your job is to attend and make sure our chapter is being run according to your expectations. Demand excellence - ensure that we are setting and achieving our goals, and constantly improving. This is meant to be Hard-Core, Hands-On Business Management & Leadership training for our Actives - so don't hold back - be tough, drill these guys. Remember, we're not just training the future leaders of our fraternity, we're training the future leaders of our country.
Meeting Location, a little History, and some cool Triva... If you haven't been back to Penn Sate for a while, one of the first things that will shock you is the brand new IST (Information Sciences and Technology) building that sits directly adjacent to our property. The IST building is designed to be the center point of the Penn State campus and is why Penn State was so interested in our property - now one of the most, if not the most valuable property on the Penn Sate Campus.
Just prior to Homecoming '04, Alumni Corporation President, Randy Thompson '83, asked Active Chapter Vice President, Elliott Skrinjar '05 to locate a screen and projector for his planned Homecoming Alumni Corporation presentation. Elliott, an IST major, had just listened to a presentation by Michael Dell in the brand new, sate-of-the-art Cybertorium in the IST Building. Elliott thought that this new high-tech venue might be a great location for our meetings and pitched the idea to his professor, Dr. Gerry Santoro. As it turns out, Dr. Santoro (a Penn State alum) was very familiar with our situation and gladly volunteered the Cybertorium for our meeting, stating something to the effect: “I was really happy that you guys were able to keep your house. I remember when I was in college and would come over to the Phi Delt house. I always had a great time over there.” So the building that almost led to our demise is now playing a major role in our comeback. Thanks Dr. Santoro and Penn State! Schedule for Blue-White Weekend...
Shuttle Service To and From the Stadium... We are considering providing a shuttle service to and from the stadium in the hopes that this will enable more alumni to attend our stockholders meeting.
