FALL MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
The International Board of Trustees wishes to thank the chapter faculty sponsors for their dedicated service to Pi Gamma Mu! It is the chapter sponsors who provide the lifeblood of the Society. In order to maintain fiscal stability and prepare for a strong future we must continue to grow by providing an invitation to membership to more outstanding students who deserve to be honored. Receiving an invitation to join Pi Gamma Mu is an honor both students and parents value a great deal. We want more top students to have this opportunity and we are asking chapter sponsors to help us achieve this mission.
We offer the following suggestions for increasing your chapter's membership this year:
- Invite ALL eligible students to join (eligibility requirements are available on our website),
