back to school bonfire

MICHAEL VAN DER HARST - 8/26/08, 1:25pm

So by now you all should have received Pat's e-mail about the event this evening. We will be meeting at the Lagoon on the east side of campus to welcome everyone back to campus and have some fun outside of our meetings. If you have any questions, just give Pat or I a call. It'll run from 8-11pm. Thanks and hope to see you all there!

e-board is hard at work

MICHAEL VAN DER HARST - 6/16/08, 11:08am

Summer is now in full swing and your exec board is hard at work planning this upcoming semester! If you have any questions or suggestions for programs and events, let the new VPs know ASAP so they can try and plan the event over the summer. If anyone has any general comments or questions before the semester begins, don't hesitate to drop me an e-mail. Have a good rest of the summer!

have a good summer!

MICHAEL VAN DER HARST - 5/15/08, 12:29pm

I hope that finals went well for everyone and that the summer brings you some time to reflect. This semester has been by far the most difficult for myself and probably all of you. We've been through so much as a chapter - highs and lows. For those returning in the fall, I want you all to reflect back on what good you have done to this chapter, the university, the city, and to the country. The way we bonded after Feb. 14 speaks louder than words. I am so proud to be your president next semester. I hope you all come back eager and willing to do service and be an active member of Eta.

For those graduating, it was a pleasure working with everyone since I have been in this fraternity. I wish you all the best of luck in the future and hope that all of you can still be active alumni of this fraternity. There is information on how to stay somewhat active - if you want any of it, just let me know.

I hope everyone has a good summer and be sure to spread the word about Eta and APO over the summer to any incoming freshman you know, or friends that you think would want to join our fraternity. Thanks and keep checking your e-mail for updates over the summer as well as the Web site.

In LFS,

Michael Van Der Harst
President

If you go ahead and print out the document the way it is, you should get a few pages with quarter-sheet tickets to hand to the people you sell too. Any questions, e-mail Jono. Visit the Fundraising page for a lot more detailed info on the duck race and how to sell the ducks.

elections coming up!

MICHAEL VAN DER HARST - 4/9/08, 7:44pm

As Tom mentioned during Tuesday's chapter meeting, nominations for various positions in Eta will be open beginning next week. If you have any interest in running for a position, I'd strongly encourage you to talk with the current individual that is in that role. They will (hopefully) have some good insight into what goes into the job. If I am forgetting a position, somebody please let me know.
