After surveying the chapter, I found that most people didn’t even log into their account and never even looked at the statements.

I feel like a pro-active Tau can do better without Omega and save the chapter the 8% charge which can add up to a large amount with 60-70 actives.

Furthermore if you wanted a website, like Omega has created, you could easily use the money to build that site from a website design student and save additional money. But, for Omega’s sake their customer service is very good and they will help you with whatever you need. But at a cost!

Essentially, if its best for the chapter then go for it.

They no longer have to worry about debt. As for our alumni association, Omega will be taking care of our newsletter, website and fund raising campaign. We hope they handle those areas with lots of success. We still have alumni officers as we have other matters that need to be handled. Omega is going to handle the areas we don't have the time to handle anymore. I will update as we proceed with them.

Frankly, I have concerns about outsourcing fundraising activities…
