Greetings, My name is David Lee Francis, co-founder of Alpha Sigma Chi (
www.alphasigmachi) professional/social, currently local. We are the world's first non-residential GLO established in the either: 04-02-2003.
The fraternity is traditional in most every regard, except that we are both professional and social, and our founding vision is to build a bridge between non-residential campuses and the Greek fraternal experience.
Our academic/professional association is Intelligence and National Security Studies. IS and NS professionals with other degrees also qualify. Very few strictly civilian, non-government, private universities offer degree programs in Intelligence, Strategic Intelligence, or National Security. George Mason is one exception - but I doubt if there is a professional GLO dedicated to these studies on that campus.
That is our niche. Most of the universities that do offer these degrees are government or military. National Defense University, Armed Forces Staff College, Joint Military Intelligence College, etc, and most programs lead to an MA or MS degree.
Well, that's us - in a nutshell. We're founding at American Military University in Manassas, VA. An online university: There are five thousand men who fit the description of our basic potential candidate who attend AMU.
Since there are about three hundred thousand other guys who are IS or NS professionals who have degrees in other fields - we will have a pretty rich recruiting base once we get our name recognition going. Our main objective is networking for career building in our community. However, our first founding principal is solidarity, and our initiation process is all about bonding in brotherhood - and understanding what a life long, meaningful, and genuine commitment that is in ASC.
So... that's how we're doing. Web site is under construction, but our informal "shield" is posted there.
