AKL Makes Recruitment Its #1 Priority For Fall 2006
Alumni,
Our active chapter of Alpha Kappa Lambda has set a high recruitment goal for the Fall of 2006. Our goal is to initiate 25 new members through our Ritual on alumni weekend (Nov. 3-5). Our 22 active members feel that this goal is attainable and has laid out ground work to ensure the success of our recruitment this year. We would sincerely appreciate high attendance at our alumni weekend Initiation so that these new members can be welcomed into the family we call the Beta Tau chapter of Alpha Kappa Lambda.
As of September 22nd, the active chapter has recruited 25 new pledges for the Fall semester. These 25 men have been instructed on the expectations for their pledge class and informed of the rewards of being in the Fraternity of Alpha Kappa Lambda. During our new member education program, these men will focus on the traditions of Alpha Kappa Lambda and the 5 Ideals of our National Fraternity.
Our members, lead by our 5 ideals (Judeo-Christian principles, leadership, scholarship, loyalty, and self-support) are representing our great Fraternity on the campus and inspiring undergraduate males to take interest in SIUE's Greek system. For more info on the active chapter, please visit our website.
Thank you, alumni, for your continual support and the strong foundation that you formed.
