High Alpha Summit Creates Opportunity to Join Mason’s Circle
By Neil Stanglein, Director of Annual Giving and Communication Programs, Educational Foundation
The Lambda Chi Alpha Educational Foundation is pleased to announce that 38 High Alphas joined the Mason’s Circle during the 2017 High Alpha Summit.
Named for Jack Mason, Lambda Chi Alpha’s spiritual founder, the Mason’s Circle is reserved exclusively for undergraduate members in the Lambda Chi Alpha Educational Foundation. For a gift of $19.09, donors receive a special lapel pin and recognition in the giving society.
Dennis Rook, Southern Illinois University – Carbondale High Alpha stated: “I have been inspired to bring back what I have learned to educate my colony, and make them as successful as possible while we work towards chartering standards. I am motivated to get my colony fired up for the upcoming year and all the possibilities for success ahead of us.” This prompted his gift along with his desire to advance the fraternity in every way he can.
By supporting the Masons Circle, brothers are able to pay it forward for future brothers to attend leadership experiences like the High Alpha Summit and to support other programming and scholarship opportunities.
“I am thrilled that these men chose to join Mason’s Circle during the High Alpha Summit,” said Josh Lodolo, President and CEO of the Educational Foundation. “These men are not only creating an impact on their chapters by serving as High Alphas, but creating an impact that benefits future Lambda Chi Alpha leaders.”
