Last year during National Convention, the National Alumni Association raffled a hand-made quilt constructed from t-shirts donated by Sigma Alpha chapters and alumni. The proceeds from the NAA fundraisers are set aside each year for the scholarship fund. Because of the success last year, the NAA was able to free up funds to sponsor new competitions at this year’s National Convention (Prepared Public Speaking, Outstanding Scrapbook, and the Sigma Alpha Quiz Bowl) in addition to continuing to sponsor two $500 scholarships and two $150 chapter GPA awards.
The event was so successful, we would like to try it again this year, but we need your help! We ask each collegiate and alumni chapter who would like to be represented on the quilt to donate a spare event t-shirt or a shirt with your university’s logo. Each t-shirt will become a square on the quilt. If you and your chapter would like to participate, please send an email to me at
SDLPerkins@hotmail.com to let me know. I will give you my mailing address in a reply. If your chapter wants to participate but has no t-shirt to donate, feel free to email me for other ideas of how you can be represented on the quilt. It’s for a great cause, so PLEASE help out!
Sincerely,
Susan Perkins
NAB Treasurer
