Stuff-A-Truck Update

OTTO-stuff_a_truck.jpg

In recent weeks we have concluded that U-Haul will be donating a 14 ft. truck for us to fill. At this point, the location is still tentative as we are waiting to hear back from Clarkson, but we are hoping to use the lawn of Old Snell due to it’s location so near the center of town. As mentioned, it will be taking place on the weekend of November 12th, the active brothers along with any alumni that would like to come up will be camping out on the lawn there until the truck is filled. SUNY Potsdam sorority Phi Kappa Pi will also be helping plan and organize the event, by getting flyers up far in advance all around town and on all 4 campuses of the local colleges we are hoping that there will be a huge turnout; the bigger we make this the better. There is a chance we will have live music at some point during the weekend and McLovin and myself may talk to the fire department about doing a bar-b-que on that weekend as well since they are right across the street. In addition to lots of advance notice, we’re hoping to attract a lot of donations by offering a prize to the student organization (greek, athletic, etc.) from any school that makes the largest contribution.

Mark you calendars! Lets make it a big weekend with LOTS of donations!

Omicron Pi Omicron Presents Stuff-A-Truck

We are starting an annual Stuff-A-Truck can drive. The actives of Omicron Pi Omicron will be at Downtown Snell, Old Clarkson the entire weekend of November 12-14, 2010. We will have a box truck that we need to fill before we can leave.

Please bring canned foods and other non-perishable household goods. Toiletries are also welcome. Come out and help a great cause.

Recap on alumni weekend

Thanks to all those who were able to make the trip to potsdam for the Spring 2010 Alumni weekend. For those who attended, i think we can all agree to say it was fun to be had by all. Thanks again for the insight by the elders to the current actives on what steps to take in the relative directions. Hope to see everyone at Pig Roast.

Activities Fair

Tonight is the activities fair from 7-9 pm in the Cheel Commons. Come out and visit us.

Rush BBQ

This past saturday we had a rush Bbq. A few brothers bought some lawn games before hand which turned out to be a huge hit. Horse balls were fun for all.

Web Server and Software

I visited the house last week to fix the web site. Rather than continue to push uphill against the unstoppable urge to reset the router (the most common cause of our web site outages) I moved the web site to the same server that hosts my personal sites. Now that it resides outside the house we can expect at least 99% uptime. I also updated WordPress, the blog software that produces this web site, which is why those of you who log in to the admin pages will notice that the interface looks different.

ATTN:: UPDATE

It has been quite some time since the last post on this site because the site has been down…

For those who didnt attend, the 105th was great. We had a great group of alumni come back to support the actives and have a good time. Thank you to everyone who stopped by.

Alex Giles is currently working on bettering alumni connections. If you were not at the 105th and would like to be added to the current alumni contact list you can send him an email at alexander.giles@gmail.com and he will be sure to add you.
