WHAT SETS US APART FROM THE REST?

• We honor and cherish the ideal of Diversity– When founded in 1899,

we were the first fraternity to openly do so, and have continued that time honored tradition to this day

• Scholarship– Our ACB has a

scholarship fund of about $70,000, of which they give scholarships each semester to brothers excelling in academics, leadership, and community service

BETTERING THE COMMUNITY.• Philanthropy

this event into a national philanthropy

Soldiers fun• We achieved national recognition from Delta Sigma Phi for our efforts

– American Red Cross Blood Drives (National)• “Blood, Sweat, and Cash campaign”• Nationally committed to get 50,000 pints of blood donated (blood); 75,000

hours of service (sweat); and contributing $100,000 to the Red Cross
