National News – Third Annual March Mania Kicks Off!

As every true sports fan knows, basketball teams from colleges and universities all over the country vie to be one of the 68 programs selected to participate in the NCAA Tournament each year.  They work hard for those bragging rights, to carve their legacy in NCAA history, and to honor their schools.

Chi Phi offers that same opportunity with the Chi Phi March Mania Challenge.  The Challenge is all about bragging rights, honoring your Chapter, continuing your legacy, and providing for the next generation.  While 68 best basketball teams in the country complet for the national championship, Chi Phi needs your help to raise $68,000 to support your Chapter and Chi Phi Scholarships.

For this challenge, you don’t need to be a sports superstar to help your Chapter score points.  Every dollar you pledge to the Chi Phi Educational Trust before April 7, 2014 will score one point for your Chapter.  By making a pledge of any amount, you will score points to help your Chapter claim victory.  More importantly, you’ll provide scholarships for Chi Phi Brothers and educational programs for your Chapter.

 March Mania

Each Chi Phi Chapter has been bracketed and is poised for glory!  Winning Chapters will receive a trophy, be featured in the Chakett, and will be highlighted on the Chi Phi National website.

For those of you who participated last year, snaps to you – as Delta Zeta took home the award for the Most Alumni Participating!  Let’s see if we can’t work together to once again earn recognition for the Delta Zeta Alumni Association in 2014!
