Building a Successful Foundation

Did you all hear the excitement from convention on the Foundation raising $10,000 in one weekend? Check it out - from Iceburgh drawing our thermometer on Thursday to Christine Jackson announcing reaching the goal at the banquet on Saturday!
The Phi Sigma Rho Foundation has been doing a great job in supporting the professional, educational, philanthropic, and leadership development opportunities of the sorority. In 2009, they have provided support primarily for LEAP workshops and the LEAP Series at Convention 2009 on top of their yearly scholarship.

So what kind of things will that $10,000 go towards? While staying in the range of the areas the Foundation is allowed to donate to, the sorority will continue to ask for support for LEAP events. This not only includes visits to chapter and the LEAP Series at national conventions and leadership conferences for both actives and alumnae, but future LEAP events at regional conferences. The Foundation can also support Regional Field Director visits for educational presentations to chapters and many more scholarships for our members!

With your support of the Foundation, the possibilities for Phi Sigma Rho sisters are endless and we can continue to build the future! So a huge *THANK YOU!!!* to the Foundation donors and the Foundation for a wonderful job in just a few short years!

Kicking-off Convention 2009!

National Convention 2009 kicked-off tonight with a few fun events! We hosted about 70 people at the meet & greet followed by the State of the Sorority Address and Q&A with National Council and the Foundation. After that, we kicked off the celebration with some karaoke thanks to the talents our Pitt-Zeta actives and our national volunteer Minna Krejci.

We're so excited to be in Pittsburgh this weekend and can't wait to see how the LEAP workshops and alumnae sessions go tomorrow. We hope to keep you all updated on the activities of the weekend as we celebrate silver!
