APO Delta Pi’s annual Brightest Bulb competition starts in our weekly meetings. APO Delta Pi as a whole brainstorms our favorite professors on campus. After that, we have a Google poll this is sent out to all of our members, and the top 6 most popular professors are chosen to be a part of the competition. Each professor is notified that they have been nominated and are asked to choose a charity to donate their proceeds to at the end of the week. We then staff a table for a week in our student center, collecting cash donations. It boils down to a popularity contest: who is the most loved professor at Trinity? At the end of the week, the charity/professor combo that received the highest number of donations receives the entire week’s proceeds. This year’s winner was Patrick MacMillan, Trinity’s ballroom and country-western dance instructor. On our last day of fundraising alone he raised around $640, bringing the total donations for the week to over $800. APO will be boosting the donation just a bit, and in the end we will be donating $850 to the Alzheimer’s Association in Patrick’s name. This is one of APO’s most successful fundraising efforts in the past several years, and we were able to bring in almost 3 times what we usually do. Yay, Delta Pi!

Is your chapter planning a service event and want to publicize it? Maybe get the word out for a few extra hands to come help? Send us a PR write up and we’ll publish it and help get the word out.

You can also do the same after your project so you can show off the projects your chapter is doing. Just send us a summary of your project (who was there, what was done, etc.), a picture or two, and we”ll post it for all the world to see. Well, at least everyone in the APO world.

Look for an update for how we handle the Section 43 calendar. We’re getting the Google calendar linked up so it will be easier for us to keep you all up to date on Section and Fraternity events. This will be good if any of you want to add it to your calendar feeds.
