​Volunteers Needed!

The Alumni Mentoring program is being launched jointly by the Nu Prime Alumni Association and Kappa Sigma HQ.  Since 99% of our alumni do NOT reside in Blacksburg, mentoring will take place where our alumni reside, and NOT on campus at VT. 

While a primary team of 4-8 Nu Prime alumni who live near VT will serve as local chapter advisors and “boots on the ground”, the mentoring program is different since it brings the new chapter initiates to you. The program is structured to match the Four Pillars of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity: Scholarship, Leadership, Fellowship and Service. Below are just a few general ideas on how an alumni can contribute one-on-one with 1-2 new brothers from his geographical area…all mentoring ideas are welcomed and should be shared with other alumni:

Scholarship

  • You can mentor a new brother who hopes to enter the same job field as you (engineer, architect, accountant, and so on)
  • You can later help him in preparing a resume, by critiquing him in a mock interview, etc.

Leadership

  • You can sponsor a visit to your place of employment, so a new brother gets a feel for the workplace
  • You can offer a new brother an opportunity to attend local business networking functions.
  • A group of alumni engineers, architects, etc., could get together and prepare a “Top 10 Pointers” list by academic area on how to lead and succeed, which then can be used by all other alumni in their mentoring of a new brother

Fellowship

  • You can invite a new brother to attend a local happy hour (if legal age) and/or have a meal with you when he is back in town
  • You could even invite a new brother attend a local community function with you and other area brothers when home from VT

Service

  • You could arrange for the new brother and yourself (or a group of area brothers) to both help out at a community service event (like a holiday meal for the less-fortunate, or a community clean-up)
  • You could monitor a new brother seeking out this opportunity in Blacksburg and later ask him how he benefitted from the experience

So, fellow Nu Prime brothers, here is your chance to help lay a solid foundation for the new colony of Kappa Sigma at VT, and you don’t even need to travel to VT to do so!  Please consider volunteering, as this program kicks into full gear NEXT MONTH! If you can help, please contact Brother Ralph Basile (rbasile@vantagepointredm.com,410-212-5456) or contact us at the Association’s email address (kappasigmanuprime@gmail.com). Thanks, Brothers!
