Update Your Contact Info

The bedrock foundation of our DSP Alumni Assn.’s ability to keep our Brothers connected and informed is keeping records current! When you update your changed contact info, you help Brothers of your era find you and help us keep you in-the-loop about alumni and chapter news and issues.


It is especially important that you keep us informed about your current work/home email addresses and your home surface address! There are two ways you can accomplish this:

Volunteer to Help Lead

The Alumni Association needs Brothers to help with publishing newsletters, computer searches for missing alums, data base management in Access, and a Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer. None of these require travel to SLO. Contact Ray “Mumbles” Calande, W’74, Alumni Assn. President, at raysdspaccnt@att.net.

Join Your Alumni Association

If you can’t volunteer, please help us with your Brotherhood from afar by becoming a $20 per year dues-paying Alumni Association member. We get nothing from ACB. These monies help us cover our minimum costs: paying for postage, printing, web site maintenance, scholarships and other character-building actions, and continuing our search for missing Brothers.


Every dollar of dues goes 100% to DSP – we’re volunteers. See how we’ve spent past dues and donations!


You can send dues in either of two ways:

  • Calling up a printable form and mailing it in with a check, or

  • Using our secure, on-line, Pay Pal system below

Make a Modest Donation

Besides becoming a member of our Epsilon Rho Alumni Association, you can donate to any number of worthwhile projects. These include:

Flag

Web Site Fund – to expand and customize the basic site we bought to better serve alums and preserve our unique history!

Flag

Scholarship Fund – so we can encourage academics with a $1,000 grant to a deserving undergrad.

Flag

60th Anniversary Gift – grand, framed, photos of our 3 chapter houses – lest they forget!

Flag

ACB’s Capital Renovation Fund – so we can fix 37 years of wear and tear and save for a replacement House.


Join your Brothers; help us continue our good works for you and Chapter! Send in dues and a few extra bucks because …… as of March 2009 - we’re fairly broke. The pie chart above tells it all. In 2008 we spent our money on printing and postage, a newsletter, building this alumni web site, preserving our unique colony/chapter photographic history by scanning old albums, and giving a $1,000 scholarship to an undergrad. Hellofa’ year. Can you help us rebuild?
