Court
of
Excellence
Our
bylaws
state
that
we
should
have
a
Court
of
Excellence
consisting
of
any
past
presidents.
Mike
will
start
contacting
these
people
so
that
we
can
for
the
Court
and
schedule
our
first
yearly
meeting.
If
you
are
interested,
please
contact
him
for
more
information.
We’d
like
to
get
at
least
one
past
president
for
each
5
years
so
we’ll
have
complete
coverage
over
the
entire
membership.
So
far
I
have
@ 7
or
so
volunteers
for
this.
Housing
Corporation
We
got
another
volunteer.
Now
it
stands
as
Mike
Waters,
Tim
McKenna,
Jacob
Johnson,
Roy
Erickson
and
Gary
Birdsong
on
this
committee.
We
have
added
Wes
Long
as
our
chapter
rep.
All
members
need
to
read
the
Housing
Manual
located
on
the
website.
Poker
or
Dart
tournament
are
possible
fundraisers.
Planned
Giving
Neal
brought
up
the
fact
that
we
should
start
thinking
about
a
“planned
giving”
program
to
insure
the
future
donations
to
either
the
Association
or
the
Scholarship
Fund.
I
have
talked
with
an
old
Little
Sister
(Jan
Preuitt)
who
is
the
Director
of
Planned
Giving
for
U.C.A.
she
has
given
me
her
website
to
look
at
and
offered
to
meeting
with
us
to
discuss.
I
will
email
people
with
this
information
and
work
on a
brochure
to
put
at
our
events.
Diamond
Bear
Brewery
Brad
sent
me a
link
to
their
Facebook

They
give
free
tours
at

also
have
a

where
you

Contact
Blitz
I
got
a
list
of
who
National’s
says
are
Phi
Sigs.
@
2200
people.
We’ve
got
information
on a
little
over
400
so
I’m
gonna
start
a
blitz
each
month
where
I
sent
out
an
email
to
A.A.
members
with
about
20
or
so
names
to
try
to
find
these
people.
501C
Rusty

Gaylon
are
working
on
this.
Gaylon
assures
me
that
Rusty
will
have
filed
by
the
Golf

Lottery
Club
Mike,
Roy,
English,
and
Tim
are
in.
We
do
10
draws
per
week
(whichever
one
is
larger)
with
a
power
play.
Does
anyone
else
want
in?
Facebook
Our
Facebook
page
now
has
181
members.
This
will
be a
good
tool
for
us
in
the
future
for
events
and
to
keep
everyone
up
to
date
on
what’s
going
on.
Alumni
Veterans
Alumni
veterans
displays
will
be
made
that
will
show
all
of
our
veterans
along
with
any
patches
we
can
secure
from
them.
Chapter
Eternal
We
will
be
making
some
sort
of
display
for
future
reunions
to
honor
the
Phi
Sigs
that
have
passed
away.
We
will
include
birth
and
death
dates
as
well
as
any
other
information
and
pictures
that
we
can
secure.
Dues
I
sent
out
an
email
to
alumni
that
had
supported
us
in
the
past
year
or
two
that
had
not
paid
yet
and
got
four
alumni
to
pay
their
dues.
This
will
be
the
largest
year
yet
as
far
as
numbers.
I
also
sent
out
the
yearly
financials
and
the
member
and
little
sister
lists.
Golf
Tournament
Golf
Tournament
–
our
tournament
will
be
June
12th
at
Persimmon
Ridge
in
Greenbrier
at
1:00.
This
year’s
tournament
name
will
be
given
by
Bob
Goss
who
had
chosen
to
honor
the
brothers
who
pledged

1969
&
1970.
$45.00

$40.00
members,
$30.00
chapter
members?
Chapter
will
cook
out
prior
to
the
tourney
and
will
have
some
snacks
for
afterwards.
This
year
we
will
get
a
plaque
made
for
the
winners.
We
will
retro
it
back
to
the
first
two
years.
Who
wants
to
be
involved?
If
the
chapter
gets
a
nice
donation
on
that
day,
they’ll
be
able
to
retire
their
debt.
Hopefully
for
the
last
time!
If
we
can
pay
off
roughly
$1000.00
in
June,
Nationals
will
forgive
$225.00.

the

Elections
Since
there

else
serving
on
the
board,
Tim
moved
and
Brad
seconded
that
we
keep
the
board
for

The
vote
was
unanimous.
Mike

He

that
starting

we will
award a
$1000.00
scholarship
to one
member
per year
(but
will
give in
two
$500.00

Court of
Excellence
Our
bylaws
state
that we
should
have a
Court of
Excellence
consisting
of any
past
presidents.
Mike
will
start
contacting
these
people
so that
we can
for the
Court
and
schedule
our
first
yearly
meeting.
If you
are
interested,
please
contact
him for
more
information.
We’d
like to
get at
least
one past
president
for each
5 years
so we’ll
have
complete
coverage
over the
entire
membership.
So far I
have @ 7
or so
volunteers
for
this.
Reunion
Had
around
60
alumni
show up.
Total
take was
@
$4200.00.
(@
$235.00
scholarship
jar, @
$600.00
silent
auction)
The cups
seemed
to sell
pretty
well.
Paid
$1.08
each so
we need
to sell
83 of
the 250,
then
we’ll be
making
pure
profit.
Housing
Corporation
We got
another
volunteer.
Now it
stands
as Mike
Waters,
Tim
McKenna,
Jacob
Johnson,
Roy
Erickson
and Gary
Birdsong
on this
committee.
We have
added
Wes Long
as our
chapter
rep.
I’ll be
emailing
everyone
for our
first
meeting
along
with a
tour of
the
room.
All
members
need to
read the
Housing
Manual
located
on the
website.
Poker or
Dart
tournament
are
possible
fundraisers.
Planned

Neal
brought
up the

that we
should
start
thinking
about a
“planned

to
insure
the
future
donations
to
either

or the

have
talked
with an
old
Little
Sister
(Jan
Preuitt)
who is
the
Director
of
Planned
Giving
for
U.C.A.
she has
given me
her
website
to look
at and
offered
to
meeting
with us
to
discuss.
I will
email
people
with
this
information
and work
on a
brochure
to put
at our
events.
Diamond

Brewery
Brad
sent me
a link
to their

We can

Everyone
can use
this and
put it
to the
scholarship
fund
including
members,
alumni,
little

parents
and
spouses.
Audits
Our year

Blitz
I got a
list of
who
National’s
says are
Phi
Sigs. @
2200
people.
We’ve
got
information
on a
little
over 400
so I’m
gonna
start a
blitz
each
month
where I
sent out
an email
to A.A.
members
with
about 20
or so
names to
try to
find
these
people.
501C
Rusty
and
Gaylon
are
working
on this.
Gaylon
assures
me that
Rusty
will
have
filed by
the Golf
Tournament.
Recruitment
Trip
I’ve
talked
with a
few
alumni
and have
come up
with a
plan for
a trip.
We’d
schedule
a trip
to
Fayetteville
to watch
and
early
afternoon
Hogs
Baseball
game. We
would
invite
all
alumni
from the
N/W part
of the
state to
come by
the game
or to
meet us
at the
Springdale
Holiday
Inn
afterwards.
They
have an
atrium.
We could
hold a
short
business
meeting
(maybe
take
someone
from the
Chapter
for
their
spill)
and take
some of
our
Historian
stuff
with us.
Afterwards,
we can
hang out
at the
bar at
the
hotel
and
drink
more.
Even if
nobody
shows,
it’ll be
a lot of
fun. I
do think
we can
get 5-10
alumni
to come
by to
see what
we have
to
offer.
The date
will be
April 17th
when the
Hogs vs
the
Georgia
Bulldogs
at 2:05.
Lottery
Club
Would
anyone
be
interested
in
getting
together
a “Lotto
pool” of
alumni?
Maybe
kick
$20.00
per
month,
buy
tickets
each
Monday
(email
copies
to all
members)
and
split
the pot
by the
number
of
alumni
in with
the
A.A./
Chapter
getting
one
share.
Mike,
English,
Roy and
Chuck
Sontag
will be
starting
next
week if
anyone
is
interested.
I will
email
details
in the
next
couple
of days.
Facebook
I
started
a new
Facebook
page one
week ago
and we
now have
153
members
and we
now have
146 pics
on
there.
This
will be
a good
tool for
us in
the
future
for
events
and to
keep
everyone
up to
date on
what’s
going
on.
Relay
for Life
I will
put
together
a Phi
Sig team
for the
Conway
Relay
for Life
in
Memory
of Chuck
Cummings
and any
other
Phi Sig
or
spouse
that has
beat, or
succumbed
to
Cancer.
It’s
April 23rd
– 24th
at Estes
Stadium.
I will
be
getting
an email
out soon
about
this
event.
I’m
gonna
try to
use our
Tyson
connections
to get
free
food
donated
to see
for
fundraising.
We’ll
also be
doing
shirts
for
participants.
Our name
is The
Phi Sig
Army so
they
will be
camouflaged.
Let’s
raise a
lot of
money
and have
a good
time!

Discussion |
We met
12/13/09 at
my house
(Mike,
English, Tim
and Jason) |
|
Historian –
They need
one bad,
Mike will
get one
appointed
and check
with them
about their
camera.
Room – Are
they getting
another
room. If
not, what
can we do to
help this
one?
Exec Board
Desk – We
need to get
one made for
them when we
figure out
the room
size. They
are
currently
sitting
around a
round table
which
doesn’t
work.
Website – If
they can’t
get it
going, we
will take it
over!
Rush – The
next two
years are
critical. We
need to be
working on
next year to
get a
perfect one
rolling!
Audit of
Books – Mike
has
contacted
Aaron Pitts
to get the
2009 books
to Tim to
look at.
Fun “shit”
to do – They
need to
start acting
more like a
frat.
Formal,
float trip,
Oaklawn!
Stuff they
can bring up
during rush!
Tea Roses –
We really
see no
benefit the
way this
program is
operated
currently.
Mike will
get with
them about
changing.
Need more
women, women
who will
work and are
not just
dating a
member, and
need perks
for being a
Tea Rose.
Alumni
Chairman –
One will be
appointed
from the
Fraternity
(junior or
senior) be
coordinate
stuff
between them
and us.
Philanthropy
– Race for
the Cure –
we have
enough
ribbons for
next year.
Will need to
work on
details
ahead of
time and
boost this
up. Lot of
potential
there.
Special
Olympics –
This is
their
national
project.
Let’s get
them
involved!
Chapter
meeting
minutes –
Haven’t seen
in a while?
Jason
suggested
that we set
up a
separate
account for
a chapter
fund with
the logic
being that
we will get
more
donations
for them if
we
administer
this money .

Sergeant
Mark Allen
will be
going to
Afghanistan
from Jan
thru May
with his Air
Force unit.
When he gets
situated, I
will contact
him for an
address for
us to send
him a care
package.
JP Phillips
is headed
overseas and
eventually
to
Afghanistan.
Robert Tubbs
will be back
from
Afghanistan
the first
part of
March.
Contact
Blitz
I got a list
of who
National’s
says are Phi
Sigs. @ 2200
people.
We’ve got
information
on a little
over 400 so
I’m gonna
start a
blitz each
month where
I sent out
an email to
A.A. members
with about
20 or so
names to try
to find
these
people.
501C
Jason says
that if
Rusty is too
busy to get
the 501C
started that
he has a
friend that
is willing
to take over
for us. Mike
will email
Rusty to
find out
where we’re
at on it.
Recruitment
Trip
I’ve talked
with a few
alumni and
have come up
with a plan
for a trip.
We’d
schedule a
trip to
Fayetteville
to watch and
early
afternoon
Hogs B-Ball
game. We
would invite
all alumni
from the N/W
part of the
state to
come by the
game or to
meet us at
the
Springdale
Holiday Inn
afterwards.
They have an
atrium. We
could hold a
short
business
meeting
(maybe take
someone from
the Chapter
for their
spill) and
take some of
our
Historian
stuff with
us.
Afterwards,
we can hang
out at the
bar at the
hotel and
drink more.
Even if
nobody
shows, it’ll
be a lot of
fun. I do
think we can
get 5-10
alumni to
come by to
see what we
have to
offer.
The date
will be
either Feb
27th
(Vandy)
Lottery Club
Would anyone
be
interested
in getting
together a
“Lotto pool”
of alumni?
Maybe kick
$20.00 per
month, buy
tickets each
Monday
(email
copies to
all members)
and split
the pot by
the number
of alumni in
with the
A.A./
Chapter
getting one
share. Mike,
English and
Roy.

Facebook
I started a
new Facebook
page one
week ago and
we now have
110 members.
I also
posted 40
pics and we
now have 122

This will be
a good tool
for us in
the future
for events
and to keep
everyone up
to date on
what’s going
on.
Hard Drive –
I know have
a ton of
stuff on my
computer
that
pertains to
the A.A. and
the chapter.
I have a lot
of photos,

list, etc.
It was voted
on to buy a
small
detachable
hard drive
to load this
on as a
backup.

together a

had two chapter
reps….and at least a
few of us managed to
get really drunk!

Working on an
“alumni” carwash.
Will get a place
together for next
month or two.
We would like to
have a chapter rep
to be on our newly
formed Housing
Corporation.
Discussed that it
needed to be someone
younger who would be
around for a while.
The Chapter got a
new meeting room in
Arkansas Hall. Small
but will work for
now.
If the chapter will
give me what they
want, I will get a
metal sign made at
work with the
letters on it to
hang outside.
The chapter picked
up one new member
who transferred from
Pittsburg State in
Kansas (he attended
meeting).
Lonnie agreed to do
the artwork for a
new brochure. Mike
will get with him on
the design. Will
include web sites,
campus history,
scholarships and
notable alumni.

We will once again
buy the ribbons for
