2009-10 Corporation Officers Elected
Since May, Iota Iota has achieved a string of accolades that no Sigma Chi chapter has accomplished in the same short amount of time. And, as many of you may know, the past several weeks have been a period of transition for the house corporation.
Thank You House Corporation Members, for Years of Service
In August, Glen Randall ’68 decided to retire from the house corporation after almost 40 years of service to the Iota Iota Chapter. Glen’s many contributions will not be forgotten, and I thank him for his dedication to our order. Additionally, I would like to thank former President Charlie Smith ’73 and the rest of the 2007-09 members for shepherding the chapter through a critical period in our 133-year history at the Capstone. These brothers did an exemplary job of getting Iota Iota back on track.
Chapter Accomplishments
The brothers have accomplished a lot since the spring semester. In May they presented a $32,000 check to Mike Warren, the CEO of Children’s Hospital of Alabama. Less than two months later, 14 brothers and a group of alumni attended the 77th Grand Chapter in Charleston, South Carolina, where they successfully campaigned to have Alexa Stabler elected as Iota Iota’s fifth International Sweetheart. One month later, the executive officers attended Balfour Leadership Training Workshop in Chapel Hill. Thanks to hard work and dedication over the past two years, Iota Iota brought home its eighth Peterson Outstanding Chapter Award, the first since 1994. As you know, the Peterson Award is the highest honor that can be given to a chapter of Sigma Chi.
House Corporation Agenda Items
There are numerous items on the newly elected member’s agenda, such as lobbying for a new chapter house; preserving our aging house to provide brothers with an adequate facility; establishing and enacting a viable business model to help our chapter grow and keep dues at a reasonable level; and mentoring the undergraduates to help them succeed both at Alabama and after graduation.
The number of alumni who have stepped forward to serve on the 2009-10 executive committee is a solid group of brothers from various professional backgrounds. Please see page 3 for a complete list of officers. Many other alumni will soon serve on the newly created finance, mentoring, and communications committees. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you want to help serve your chapter.
In Hoc,
Tony Robbins ’81
House Corporation President
