Countdown to Baltimore Leadership Conference! Read This Post to Learn More!

The Phi Sigma Sigma Foundation is pleased to join the Fraternity at the 2007 Leadership Conferences where we will again host the Saturday night dinner. Last year, thanks to the generosity of our collegiate and alumnae sisters, the Foundation was able to raise over $30,000 to help fund quality leadership programming, scholarships and grants and support for the National Kidney Foundation and Kidney Foundation of Canada.We invite you and your chapter to join the Foundation Board of Directors and fellow collegian and alumnae sisters celebrate the efforts of our donors and learn about how your gifts are put to work. Here’s how!

Donate An Item From Your Chapter For The Foundation Auction

This year, we invite your chapter to help us make the Foundation dinner and auction even more successful by donating a chapter gift to be auctioned to the highest bidder. Great ideas from previous auctions include:

  • Items used during ritual (i.e., candlesticks, vase, bible cover, gavel, ritual table cloth, etc.)
  • A basket representing your home state or region (California Dreamin’, New York Big Apple, Fun in the Sun)
  • Unique Phi Sigma Sigma items that your chapter makes (banner for recruitment, scrapbook cover, etc.)

Would you like more information or ideas about what to donate for the Foundation auction? If so, email us at foundation@phisigmasigma.org. With your help, the Foundation auction will continue to be a highlight of the conference! We look forward to all our sisters joining us in the bidding process too!

Participate in the Foundation Raffle

In addition to participating in the auction by both donating and bidding on items, sisters may also buy chances to win fabulous merchandise in the Foundation Raffle. Raffle tickets will be available Friday night and all day Saturday.

Give Heart to Hearts

One of the most treasured traditions from our international conclaves is “Heart to Hearts.” This year, we are bringing this wonderful tradition to the Leadership Conferences! The recipient of a Heart receives a card from you and includes your personal message. She also receives a double heart appliqué to wear on her nametag. This is a perfect opportunity to say “thank you” to chapter sisters and community volunteers.

Join the Rosebud Society

Rosebud Society membership provides a unique opportunity for collegians to begin their lifetime of giving through three easy and affordable donations to the Foundation.

Membership is obtained through three gifts over three years ($20, $25, and $30 respectively) totaling $75. When the first payment is received, the sister receives a lapel pin to signify membership into the Rosebud Society. Once her third payment is made, the sister receives her first lifetime rose giving level pin. We invite all Leadership Conference attendees to join the Rosebud Society. When you generously donate $20 at the conference, you will receive your rosebud pin on the spot and will be able to proudly display your support for the Phi Sigma Sigma Foundation.
