Dear Brother «LAST»:
What would you say if I told you one of your Alpha Delt brothers – (NAME OF REFERRING ALUM) -- was recently thinking of you?
Brother (ALUMNUS) recently made a charitable pledge to support the ongoing restoration of Alpha Delta Phi at Miami (see our great progress at www.mualphadelt.com). He was responding to our appeal to join the chapter’s new Loyalty Society. The Society recognizes those brothers who, in order to restore the tradition of annual giving among alumni, pledged to support us in 2009, 2010, and 2011.
The Loyalty Society pledge card asked each donor to name the brothers he was closest to in college or in the present day, and Brother (ALUMNUS) listed you. Clearly, he fondly recalls your days together in Alpha Delta Phi. To honor that shared experience, would you consider joining him as a new member of the Loyalty Society, perhaps at the $«LEVEL» level? I’m sure he’ll be glad to know that your Alpha Delta Phi ties remain strong.
Please consider giving. You can return the enclosed card, give online at www.mualphadelt.com (or, in a pinch, simply email us at miamiadphi@yahoo.com and confirm your pledge level – we’ll send you a reminder later).
If you give, be sure to let us know which brother or brothers you’d most like to join you as a member of the Loyalty Society. We will send them a letter just like this one, to let them know you’ve been thinking of them…
Xaipe,
Doug Diefenbach ‘80
P.S. There’s more: right now, you can multiply your gift through our "Loyalty Society 100@$100 Challenge.” When 100 brothers have pledged to give at the $100+ level, a small group of alumni challengers will contribute $10,000! As I write this, we need 34 more donors to make this goal. To announce success at Homecoming 2009 (October 24), we need your help now. Thank you.
