Greetings from Theta Chi and hello to those receiving their first update!
Thanks to Tufts Alumni Directory I was able to find many of you for the
first time, and give you the chance to get back in touch with The Big Red
Barn. Currently our alumni email list is over 430 brothers!!
SPRING PLEDGES '06
The House, which is now 44 brothers, has added on a 10-man pledge class.
The brothers are really proud of this bunch and if you’d like to come to a
dinner or event, please contact the Marshal, Anthony DelMastro at
Anthony.Delmastro@tufts.edu.
PHILANTHROPY UP THE WAZOO
Just when you thought Epsilon Theta was doing enough to help others,
they go ahead and do more. Last fall they raised $900 for the Hurricane
Katrina Relief Fund and they just finished raising a record $4400 for the
American Heart Association by selling pins around campus. Next up for the
guys is participating in Relay for Life.
STAYING IN TOUCH
Here are a few ways to get back in touch with brothers at this chapter and
other chapters:
**Join the Tufts OX Alumni Yahoogroup! Go to
http://groups.yahoo.com/tuftsoxalumni or send a blank email to
tuftsoxalumni-subscribe@yahoogroups.com. I created this group so alumni
can post news, plan gatherings and just shoot the breeze.
**Join the Theta Chi Fraternity MySpace group! Go to
http://groups.myspace.com/thetachi. Undergrads and alumni for all over
the country post here. There are some really crazy chapters out there :)
SUPPORT THE HOUSE
Many of you know of our infamous debt to National. In short, we owe $6,000
in back membership fees. Thank you to Brian Cataldo '98, whose recent
donation brought it down to that number.
The goal is to wipe out our debt once and for all. It’s up to us as the
undergraduates have been very responsible staying up to date with their
current finances.
**Please go to our site at
http://ase.tufts.edu/thetachi and click on the "Donate" button to
support us via PayPal. If you don’t have PayPal you can click on "Support
Us" link and help us that way.
Your generosity will be recognized in future newsletters and the House will
send you some Theta Chi merchandise as a thank you.
It is great to be writing to so many old and new faces. If you would like to
unsubscribe, let me know, otherwise, enjoy the ride!
Fraternally,
