MSPAC & Nu Epsilon RUSH Information

Sorors -


It is with much excitement that I share with you that the Minneapolis-St. Paul Alumnae and Nu Epsilon RUSH Flyers have been approved and registration is now open. Listed below are some frequently asked questions.


Who can attend the RUSH? Other than the guest speaker(s) and the college/university representative, only current chapter members, chapter advisor(s) (collegiate chapters only), national officers, regional officers (or their designee(s)) may attend the RUSH activity. Other than those listed in the previous statement, attendance at the RUSH activity by any other soror/member is a Code of Conduct violation. Sorors under disciplinary action by the Sorority may not attend any membership intake activities. Verification of disciplinary status can be made through National Headquarters or the Grand Chapter website.

  

Do I have to register? We ask that all members pre-register, but it is not a requirement. Please pre-register by Friday, January 26th.


How do I register? You can find the registration link on the RUSH flyer which can be found under the Events tab on the Minneapolis-St. Paul website.


When should Members arrive? Members should arrive at the location at least a half hour before the start of the RUSH which starts at 2:00p.m.


What should we wear? Business attire is required. Deltas are asked to wear RED to identify themselves. 


PLEASE NOTE: 

Do not post the flyer on your personal Social Media. Doing so is a Code of Conduct violation.


YID,

Dues

Budget and Finance

Dues are now being collected for the 2024 Fiscal Year (January 1 - December 31, 2024). Dues can be paid by check, money order, bank bill pay, PayPal, or credit card using the following online form: https://form.jotform.com/231769368456168.

 

       National Headquarters is imposing late fees for dues submitted by chapters after October 15th, so the Budget and Finance Committee has established a cut off of October 1st to ensure sufficient processing time to submit the funds to National Headquarters before the late fee deadline. If you have any questions about dues payments, please reach out to the Finance team at finance@dstmsp.org.

2024 GET BODIED Walking/Fitness Challenge


With a new year comes new motivation to improve our health. PP&D and Membership Services are collaborating to host the 2nd Annual Get Bodied Challenge. We are off to running (or walking) start with 13 teams (9 MN, 3 WI, 1 GA) and 51 participants. We have wonderful grand prizes for the winning team and can't wait to walk, run, bike and move into better health!


If you are not formally participating in the Challenge you can still work on improving your health. We are uniting with our national partner, The American Heart Association, to bring you weekly tips on small ways to make big changes to your heart health. Share your small changes with us on social media using the hashtag #getbodied2024! 


Also, mark your calendars for a special "J13 Walk With The Deltas" on January 13th, at the Mall of America at 8AM. Did you know we walk on average 7,700 steps and 3 1/2 miles when we walk at the mall?! 


We look forward to celebrating better health with you!
