Dear Member,
 
The spring semester is here, which means it's time to get back down to business after a long winter break. With less than a year until the 2010 National Convention, it's important that your chapter keeps things running efficiently and gets all required fees and documents submitted to the National Office in a timely manner. Torch Topics is a great resource for tracking what's coming up, what fees are, and when deadlines are, so keep your eyes peeled each issue for new information.
 
The spring semester will surely bring new pledges, brothers and opportunities for service. Keep up the hard work brothers! Also, good luck to our seniors in their final semester of school!
 
Torch Topics Editorial Team
 
P.S. Keep sharing your chapter's news with Torch Topics and Torch & Trefoil. If you have an event or news that you would like included, e-mail the Torch Topics Editorial Team.
