What is the difference between ReMember Dues
and donations to the Α∆Π Α∆Π Α∆Π Α∆Π Foundation?
Donations made to the Foundation are used to fund specific programs and activi-ties; they are highly regulated by the IRS. ReMember dues pay for items the Foundation cannot pay for, such as technology development, marketing/public
relations, and membership materials for chapters and associations.
Our 150,000 alumnae now account for more than 95% of our sisterhood's member-ship but contribute merely 1-2% to our operating funds. Each year our alumnae membership grows, as does the cost of providing alumnae services. Please give
your $25 in ReMember dues today!
