THE TOMAHAWK Alpha Mu Chapter 2 Is Theta Chi in Your Estate Plans? B y including Alpha Mu Chapter of Theta Chi in the final disposition of your estate, you declare to your family and friends that you believe in and care about our mission� Your parting gift becomes a clear declaration of your values� Estate gifts are especially valuable to both the donor and the fraternity, providing valuable tax benefits to the donor and much- needed support for the undergraduate members� Estate gifts can be designated for a specific purpose or they can be unrestricted for use where needed most� By making us aware of your estate plans, you become a member of the Brotherhood Society, our donor recognition group (we will respect any requests for anonymity)� A well-planned estate gift often influences others to "go and do likewise�" For more information on planned giving, contact Jon Fleming at mrjfcy@aol.com. A s I sat down to write this article, I was struck by the thought that April marks 50 years since I first had contact with Theta Chi Fraternity at Iowa State University� As a high school senior planning to attend ISU, I received letters from several fraternities inviting me to visit during Greek Week� I don't remember why I chose to stay at the Theta Chi house, but I have never regretted my decision� When I arrived for the weekend, Dennis Kelley '69 met me at the front door� He gave me a tour of the house and discussed fraternity life with me� I remember being impressed that an upperclassman would take the time to show me around� Kevin Stalter '72 also took his time to visit with me and talk about fraternity life� I also met several other brothers that weekend and I came away thinking I could enjoy living in the Theta Chi house� Fifty years later, I still feel like I have a connection to the university through Theta Chi� The house I visited all those years ago tragically no longer exists, yet I still feel at home every time I visit for a board meeting or other gathering at the new house� I attended the 50-year anniversary celebration as an undergraduate and the 75-year anniversary celebration as an alumni board member� The board is now planning the 100-year celebration and I hope to be present then as well� You will be informed of the plans in future Tomahawks and I hope we have a great turnout� Fraternally, Ted Hovda '73 Alumni Corporation Board President tshovda@comm1net�net Treasured Time Alpha Mu Nears Centennial Celebration Alumni Corporation Board President Ted Hovda '73 | Garner, Iowa Re-elected – Congratulations, Ted!
