A brother almost sat out spring semester
Hi [First name],
Since you last gave to our chapter, [Name] almost sat out spring semester when his work-study hours were cut. A dues grant kept him in, and he's still with his brothers.
This Giving Tuesday, our goal is $1,000. That pays for 10 dues grants of $100 each, so 10 brothers can stay active in the chapter this spring.
Would you come back with an early gift? Early gifts build momentum for everyone who gives next week. Even a gift of $25 gets us moving.

Some of our brothers are one budget surprise away from leaving the chapter. [Name] nearly did when his work-study hours were reduced. A $100 grant kept him in, and he's still building skills in leadership and service that he'll carry into his career. If your business or family fund would like to match gifts, reply to me directly. Sharing this post helps too.
