Semester Update

We are now into the full swing of things for the 2013 - 2014 school year here at DTS! Things could not be going better for the chapter. In this article, you will find a few topics to update you as to the current state of things here at the Alpha Chapter of Delta Theta Sigma.

Rush / Recruitment:
"Hitting the ground running" is a bit of an understatement at this point. Over the course of the summer, members were in constant communication in order to plan a series of events. We have already had two or three cookouts, a few viewing parties for the show Duck Dynasty, and we have a Paintball event slated for this Saturday, the 14th. In addition, our efforts at the various involvement fairs have paid off, with a solid list of names that have actually been followed up with. At this rate, we have gained enough interest from upperclassmen to where we should be able to have a decent sized fall class, which hasn't happened in the past couple of years. Our men have been relentless in growing the quantity and quality of men we are pursuing.

Academics:
With the purchase of a conference table and plenty of high quality office chairs, our chapter room has become a hub of scholastic activity. Some fraternities require study tables, but with the dedication of our men, this space has become a study table without any incentive or force from the chapter. Members are constantly studying in this new space. We have also recently drafted our Academic Fantasy Teams to encourage competition for the highest GPA among teams.

Philanthropy:

Our annual Roast Away for MDA is planned for October 26, or the date of the Penn State game. The event is tentatively scheduled to be at the Wexner Center Plaza at the end of 15th Avenue.

Conclave:

Conclave this year will be held at Delta Chapter in St. Paul, Minnesota on the weekend of October 11th. As is tradition, we expect to bring home several awards. Conclave NEXT year is slated to be here, at The Ohio State University. Clear your schedule for early October so you can come visit the house while conclave proceeds. 

That's about all of the updates we have for you now. As always, be sure to stay connected to us in every way possible. Our Twitter account (@deltathetasigma) is updated almost daily, and is the best form for communication to the active chapter. Please also visit our website, dtsalpha.com, our YouTube page, Delta Theta Sigma OSU, and our Facebook page, Delta Theta Sigma OSU.

Alumni, please stay in touch! Feel free to stop by the house any given Saturday for football games, or any day during the week if your schedule permits. We love having you come back for whatever reason, so be sure to let us know if you're in town! Also, our guys are constantly looking for new internships or job opportunities, so if you know of any, feel free to let us know! Thank you all.
