2007 Fall Reunion - Old stuff but still interesting & relates to Recolonization
The 2007 Fall reunion was a great success. We had the fortunate opportunity to have two guests address the alumni present at the Friday night banquet.
Sophia Magill,
a senior admissions counselor/group visits coordinator for Iowa
State University's Office of Admissions, addressed the group on what
is happening at Iowa State University and the University's attitude
toward the recolonization of Gamma Sigma on campus. Sophia
graduated from Iowa State University in 2005 and has already amassed
a very impressive resume. While at Iowa State earning her
degree in Political Science she was also an active member of the
Alpha Gamma Delta sorority. In her presentation to the group
she indicated that the University is very accommodating to the idea
of re-establishing the undergraduate chapter of the oldest fraternity
at Iowa State.
Christopher L. Healy, Director of Expansion for Sigma Nu
Fraternity, offered information regarding the recolonization
of Gamma Sigma at Iowa State University. Chris provided a
wealth of information and a very positive outlook on the goal of
establishing a new undergraduate chapter at ISU. Chris
indicated that this would be a committed partnership effort between
the national fraternity, the Gamma Sigma alumni and the new
candidates of the Legion of Honor. (Picture to left is Brother Chris Healy

- National Fraternity
The national fraternity would contribute funded manpower ($25,000) for one semester. This would place a national chapter advisor on campus full time and cover the costs for meeting spaces and other related expenses. The national fraternity would also provide training to the alumni on the current Sigma Nu advisory responsibilities. - Gamma Sigma Alumni
The alumni would form a committed advisory board that would actively support the undergraduates during their first semester and beyond. - Gamma Sigma Candidates
The undergraduate candidates would be trained and guided by the national representative present on campus and by the volunteer alumni advisory committee. After the first year the undergraduate chapter and the committed alumni advisory committee would work with the national fraternity to continue the tradition of sustaining a growing vibrant Gamma Sigma Chapter at Iowa State.
