CELEBRATING 75 YEARS OF SERVICE
Your Weekly Message from the President
Dear Southernites and Friends:
 
On behalf of your SU Alumni Federation staff, national officers, and chapter presidents from around the country, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year!  2016 was a fantastic year for the Alumni Federation as we continued to Make Our Great University Greater.  We fought for Southern in the Louisiana Legislature; continued to aggressively recruit students across America; raised funds for scholarships; increased our membership and the number of local chapters; made some significant governance improvements and amendments to our bylaws; and launched the Federation's student organization, the 41 Club... 

'Tis the season for giving...

Good things are happening...
Members, we need accurate information on you for the following reasons...
1. The election to amend the Federation's bylaws is underway. Ballots have gone via snail mail;

2. If you haven't received them by now, reminders and dues invoices should be hitting your mailboxes shortly;

3. We are re-activating The Southernite for our members. All members with updated contact info will receive their Fall edition no later than February and;

4. The Federation is launching an all new and all inclusive membership platform which will allow you to control your own data by establishing a profile. All correspondence will become fully automated with integration.

For these reasons and more obvious ones, we need you to update your membership and contact info with the office as soon as possible.
In case you missed it...
