House Corp Update
We recently mailed out the fall House Corp newsletter and you should have received it by now. Enclosed you found an update from the undergrads and some important information about the big birthday bash next April. Be sure to check out the online page for updates (www.etaiota.org/birthday.htm) and be on the look out for your complete invitation package scheduled to be mailed in December!

Common 1855 Club question answered
Several Brothers have asked if it's ok to send in checks instead of sign up for the automatic draft for the 1855 Club. Absolutely! The automatic draft was set up as a convenience feature and has worked very well so far but we're not forcing people to use it. You may still send hand-written checks however often you want and for whatever amount you care to donate. All donations still count towards the 1855 Club levels and you will still receive the gifts no matter how you donate. Call Rich Schooley or John Banta for additional information or send checks to:

Welcome Beta Rho Pledge Class Initiates!
Brian and I would like to give a special thanks to Fawaz Atchoo, Mike Gehman, and Gary Prestipino for helping to initiate 12 new members to our order, and for generously donating money to purchase bbq after the ceremonies. By the way, for those of you who haven't heard, this most recent pledge class wired the chapter house to support a local area network and DSL access to every room as part of their house project. I'm looking forward to hearing more about this from the actives…when is the webcam being installed? Join me in welcoming the Brothers of the Beta Rho pledge class, initiated to our circle Nov 18th:
Brian Jones
Matt Clarkson
Ryan Collins
Justin Dailey
Gabe Davis
Joel Fenton
Bill Janak
Drew Jones
Mike Kline
Aaron Pauly

Win $100 off the price of your 30th Birthday ticket
Interested in the chance to win $100 off the price of your ticket to 30th Birthday??? Of course you are. We're looking for some memorable moments caught on film that commemorate 30 years of the Eta Iota chapter and the men that have passed through its doors. Get out your shoeboxes stuffed with photos and look for the great shots of your outstanding times with Sigma Chi. The House Corporation Trustees will be asked to pick the one that best exemplifies the bonds of brotherhood in our chapter and that winning picture will be worth $100. Group pictures are great but send whatever you've got! We're looking for anything you may have that paints a picture of your experiences as a Sigma Chi. Send whatever you want, and however many you want, but don't be surprised if it winds up printed somewhere during birthday weekend! If you prefer, we can return all photos as long as you include a return address.

Official Rules:
· Everyone is eligible…. actives, alumni, sweethearts…. Anyone!
· Send as many pictures as you want…no limits
· Whatever size prints you have is fine: 3x5, 4x6, 5x7…whatever.
· The Eta Iota House Corp Trustees will vote to determine the picture that will be worth $100. In the event of a tie, the $100 will be split among the winning submissions.
· The $100 prize will be awarded as a discount off of the winner's ticket price to 30th Birthday.
