Epsilon Sigma Alpha,
http://www.esaintl.com/, recently chartered an on-line chapter of Kaplan College students. ESA has programming pretty much for the whole family. It sort of reminds me of Zeta Phi Beta in that regard. Contact Cathy Lyons, Administrative Coordinator:
cathyl@esaintl.com or B.J. Clark, Executive Director:
bj@esaintl.com for more information.
"Since 1929, ESA has created a powerful network of more than 1,000 chapters to excel in community education, service and philanthropy. “Hands-on” philanthropic endeavors provide more than 650,000 hours of direct service to those in need. Each year, ESA’s 15,000 members also help to raise over $10 million for charitable causes."
Online Kaplan College Chapter
Epsilon Sigma Alpha welcomes our newest collegiate members from Kappa Omega Chapter of Kaplan College Online. This chapter is unique to ESA in many ways. First, the members of this chapter share a common goal in earning their degrees online. They are men and women seeking either bachelor degrees or continuing education to further their careers. Second, the chapter will communicate electronically. They will host online meetings and conduct business online through message boards and chat rooms. A first for ESA! Finally, members of this chapter live in different cities across the country. The chapter exists as a “virtual chapter” because students of Kaplan College Online are universally located and connected by the Internet. Given that, these newest members of ESA have been encouraged to contact local ESA chapters in their respective cities for participation in fund-raising events. Please welcome them graciously!
Kappa Omega chapter was founded with 13 charter members, and interest continues to grows. It’s just another way ESA is gaining membership. According to B.J. Clark, Executive Director, “The Kaplan College Online chapter provides an excellent example of how technology can be used to assist people in developing their personal skills to make a positive difference for others.”
