Re: The Unofficial FIRST Fraternity
 

fantastic idea dan, go you. i think starting an official chapter is a great idea, and when we get one started at kettering we can look to clarkson and rutgers next as they both are really FIRST schools.

my suggestion is to rent out a table in your student centers (and maybe a VCR), put on a tape of a regional/national competition. have silly FIRST logo giveaways, have a random brochure, stuff like that. and if possible, borrow a robot. or build your own. nothing says FIRST and draws attention quite like a 130 lb. robot. just my $0.02

hit me an email (sunflowr212@comcast.net) and let me know some more details about this so i can start planning for one at rutgers, and even better, a national chapter meet-up.

ok, i figure that most of the people interested in this have or will read this thread, so here's where i'm postin' the stuff. i want to have a DOX get-together either the same day or the day after of the college student get-together. tell me which you prefer.

I'm giving out homework as co-founder! bring a list of things you'd like to see happen and progress with this Fraternity. list ways you think the fraternity can grow, be publicized, structured, etc. you don't even have to talk in our "meeting" about them if you want, just toss me a list and i'll review and type everything onto CD when i get home from atlanta.

Also, I want to order shirts. Decide ASAP if you want one. the deadline is Monday April 19th. RIGHT after nationals. If you are going to be at nationals and you want one, tell me. I'm ordering sewn-lettered shirts (see my who am i) AND screenprinted shirts (see swadan's avatar) most likely.

If you want a shirt you need to tell me the following:
sewn on letters (my who am i photo)
*what color t-shirt
*what color letters (you can also choose a pattern from here scroll down under sewn-on letters and look for the patterns link)
*what color border (if any)
*what size
*how many

screen-printed (swadan's avatar - no green bkgd)
*what color t-shirt
*what size
*how many

ok, email! or in person! ready go! SEE YOU IN ATLANTA!

I'm going to cross-post this in the college get-together thread too, so don't waste your time re-reading it!

Sara, Hey how's it going.. I did not realize that you were BandChick when I met you at the NYC regional this year. I do recall that shirt though.. lol

Anywho.. you have any idea's on prices of the shirts if I was interested in one??

Re: The Unofficial FIRST Fraternity
 

hahaha, well, now you know. as far as shirts go i'm going to get a quote online (greek101.com) and from scarlet fever (THE fraternity store on campus) tomorrow. I'm planning on no more than $20 for the sewn-lettered shirts (less if we all get the same colors hopefully) and around $10 for the screen-printed shirts. Though those may even cost a bit more because of the 4 colors (black,red white & blue). I'll update tomorrow after physics and after i grill the salespeople ~.^

Re: The Unofficial FIRST Fraternity
 

ok, here's the story:

i have an approximate count of students involved (and a few seniors that have told me they are interested) and that leaves me at 14, including myself and jac.

EMAIL ME if you are going to nationals. now. like right now. sunflowr212@comcast.net

The meet-up is planned for right after the web hug, as the chaos begins to disperse. i have a small quick activity planned, so i need an approximate headcount (hence the necessary emailing).

If you can't make this meet-up I will be (hopefully) attending the team underground meet-up and will be attending the college student meet-up, so you can talk to me there.

My brain is on chaos mode at the moment, so forgive me if this post seems somewhat stressed and crazy, I just want everything to be organized and ready for Thursday.

Hope to see you all in Atlanta!
