Our 4th quarter business meeting is this Thursday, November 13th. We will be having officer elections, we may just need your help. You can contact president@dcdeltasig.org for details or to RSVP.

We've got two events coming up soon. Join the mailing list to find out more or email president@dcdeltasig.org.

We celebrated our one year Chartering Anniversary at Bailey's Pub and Grill. Brothers and their dates were having a good time chatting and playing darts, when the power went out for the entire mall and surrounding blocks. Did this stop us from having a good time? No! Bailey's kept serving beers and stuck it out.

We've recently had two successful events. The first was our Founder's Day sports night with the Washington Capitals. The Caps defeated the Atlanta Thrashers 6 to 3! View more picture of the hockey game. And we also had a successful clothing drive.




We donated approximately 300 articles of clothing to the Catholic Charities New York Avenue Shelter in Washington DC. Clothing articles included winter coats, casual and dress shoes, suits, dress shirts and ties, sweaters, pants and slacks, and other winter clothing. In addition to donating gently used articles, several alumni brothers provided new clothing articles including underwear, white and black socks, and t-shirts. Special thanks to Bob O'Toole for providing a large box van for transportation to the New York Avenue Shelter and Stephen Prue of the Catholic Charities organization. This was a tremendous success for both the Delta Sigma Phi Washington DC Alumni Association and the Catholic Charities New York Avenue Shelter. View more clothing drive pictures.

Officer elections have been tabled until our next business meeting, currently slated for January. Our current executive board will serve an interim term until then. If you would like to run for one of the four elected positions (President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer) or be considered for any of the appointed positions (Membership, Service, Social, and Programs) please reply to this email and let me know.

Our working event schedule for 2008 is below. Our plan is to have four quarterly business meetings and at least 5 other unique events. We haven't selected specific events yet, but we have narrowed down the categories. If you have suggestions for specific events please share them.
