Are you up for it?
(download flyer)

CONCEPT:

The concept is simple...the Founders and the fall and spring pledge classes for each academic year will compete to raise the most money for the Chapter House.

RULES:

• Only money or things of value donated on or between 4/15/2009 & 4/14/2010 count towards a team's total. Gifts of cash and check are gladly accepted. Gifts of appreciated/depreciated stock or bonds are welcomed and will be counted at the value of the stock/bond when received. All other non-cash items can only be accepted at the discretion o fthe board with a value assigned when said item is liquidated. An item that is not liquidated will be assigned a value by the V.P. of Finance for Delta Pi Properties. Pledges are welcomed but only the amount given during the competition dates counts toward a team's total.
• Teams may raise money in any way they wish as long as their methods do not violate any local, state, or federal laws and/or regulations.
• Each team will designate one (1) member as its team leader and that team leader will be responsible for reporting and ensuring the proper transmittal of all donations to Michael Jenkins, V.P. of Finance for Delta Pi Properties, Inc.
• Should any team member purchase a brick during the Delta Pi Properties brick campaign, the entire purchase price will be counted toward their team's total.
• Donations made through Alumni Association dues will count toward the donor's team's total provided that the donor notifies Michael Jenkins of his donation prior to April 14, 2010.
• Contributions will count towards the donor's membership in either the Princeton Order ($5,000 & up), Southern Order ($2,500 - $4,999), Hobart Order ($1,000 - $2,499), or Scarlett and Blue Club ($1 - $999).
• A team member is considered an "active" team member for purposes of the rewards if the team's leader, in his sole discretion, determines that the member actively participated in the team's efforts in this competition.

REWARDS:

• Delta Pi Properties will hold a reception in Americus in honor of the winning team after the competition concludes. Dinner and drinks will be free for all active team members.
• Should any team raise $10,000 - $24,999, a bedroom in the chapter house will be named after that team's pledge classes and a plaque listing the name of the team's active members will be permanently placed in a prominent location in the bedroom.
• Should any team raise $25,000 - $74,999, that team's members may chose any room in the chapter house (except the lodge room) to be named after the team's pledge classes and a plaque listing the name of the team's active members will be permanently placed in a prominent location in said room. If two teams raise amounts within this range, the team raising the most money will have first pick.
• Should any team raise $75,000 or more, the Chapter House will be named, in part, after the team's pledge classes and 8x10 portraits of all the team's active members will be permanently placed in a prominent location in the chapter house and a plaque recognizing the team's contributions will be placed in a prominent location outside the Chapter House.
