Brothers,
It has been my great pleasure to have worked with the men of Kappa Mu now for some 4 or 5 years. We have seen many changes and so many advances. I have come to know and admire these men and the alumni who challenge them to be the best, and they are the best. I hope you can all appreciate this in the 2 straight FACE Awards. This does not just happened and in fact very rarely happens.
I would like to also invite you to the meeting of Feb. 15 with the Chapter as I thank the men at TTU for accepting my challenge of several years ago to become the very best. I asked them to become 'Best of Show' in a very elite group, Kappa Sigma. They have accepted this challenge and proven to be exactly that, my "Show Dogs" and I think they deserve to hear that directly from the District Grand Master.
I hope this helps you all appreciate and cherish what these men are doing for the Order, for Tech and for your legacy as Kappa Mu Men. You should be proud and know that the work done by many of you made these successes possible and I know the example of men like my dear friend Cameron Stinnett made this possible. Please attend and support your chapter as they truly have become "BEST OF SHOW"!

The Alumni Association's 2009 Progress & Plans
The Alumni Association gathered at 525 North Walnut for the Annual Meeting. I've sent the minutes as taken to the officers. Once approved, I will post them on the blog and send out the link. We have some very aggressive initiatives that will be starting as soon as the minutes are approved. Communication is imperative to the success of each and every one if these - so this is a major first push to make the long term goals attainable.
Here is a quick overview of what all we have going on:
GROUPS - http://groups.google.com/group/ttukappasigma
I am encouraging all of you to join this group. It has the built in functionality of adding/removing people from email lists, facilitating discussions, links etc. Get on the list to help reduce bounce backs and stay up to date on what's going on at the house and with the alumni association.
Lastly, speaking of information - we need your help to update yours. Go to nationals' site to update your information. We will likely be using an updated list from nationals to send out the newsletter, so it is important to update it ASAP. Go right now.
Here is a quick overview of what all we have going on:
- Email/Online Group - See below.
- Newsletter - Submissions due by March 15. Will ship by mid April.

I have tragic news. Ashley Martin died in a fire Thursday, February 5. According to The Daily Post-Athenian:
“…The body of Ashley Martin, 31, was recovered about 1 p.m., several hours after firefighters began extinguishing the blaze at 1360 County Road 658.
Firefighters were called to the barn at about 5 a.m. but did not suspect anyone was inside the structure, officials said. Sheriff Steve Frisbie said Martin's car was not there which led investigators to believe the barn was vacant. Martin had turned the upstairs loft of the barn into living quarters.
The fire rekindled shortly after noon, and investigators learned Martin's girlfriend had his car. A search was launched and Martin's body was found in the rubble.
Frisbie said state bomb and arson investigators were called to help, which is standard with all fatal fires.
The sheriff said there is no reason to suspect foul play…”

At this time I don’t have anymore information but I will post anything that comes my way.
