2017 Founders Day Challenge

One moment, we have something cool to show you.

Friendly Competition

As individuals we are weak, as chapters we are strong, as a Fraternity we are powerful.

Thank you for supporting your brothers! We appreciate your generosity – now let’s amplify your impact and help your chapter win $1,000 toward their endowment! There are several ways you can help share the importance of giving.

Challenge Others to Match Your Support

Encourage your chapter brothers to take the Challenge. Invite up to ten brothers and/or friends to join in the competition! Just punch in their name, along with a cell phone number OR email address – we’ll take it from there. You can even opt to be CC’d on the Challenge email and we’ll notify you when your challenge is accepted.

How It Works

Three divisions make up this year’s Founders Day Challenge: Small (1-150 total initiated members), Medium (151-600 total initiated members) and Large (601+ total initiated members). There will be two winners per division; the chapter who raises the most funds and the chapter who accumulates the most donations. Last year, analytics revealed that chapters who sent the most challenges found the most success during the competition.

Bill Doyle

penn state, '77

"Alpha Sigma Phi shaped my early adult life. My college experience contributed to who I am, but my fraternity experience was the driving force. I like what I see with our national focus and I donate time and financial support to help ensure we offer all our brothers that same personal growth within Alpha Sigma Phi."

Tim Gullicksen

uc-berkeley, '84

"I give to the Old Gal not just because of all my fond memories from college, but to honor friendships that have endured and will ultimately last a lifetime. I'd like to provide the same opportunities to younger brothers of the Fraternity that my forebears made possible for me back when I was an undergraduate member."

Frank Morgan

american, '58

"There are two reasons I invest in Alpha Sigma Phi that stem from the opportunities the Fraternity provides in developing leadership skills in young men, as well as life-long friendships. Over 55 years after my initiation, my two closest friends are fraternity brothers from my chapter, the Beta Chi Chapter at American University."
