Kappa & General MotorsBrothers, Friends, Family... As most of you know Kappa has entered into a unique arrangement with General Motors. For every new car purchased or lease by Kappas, Friends or Family, the fraternity receives $100.00 to support our various programs through
The Foundation, nationally, provincially and locally. Hopefully, you all saw the great promotional piece in the last Journal and remember the push at the Conclave.
We need your help. So please Brothers, think General Motors when buying your cars. GM brands include Cadillac, Hummer, Chevrolet, GMC, Saturn, Saab,
Pontiac, Buick and Oldsmobile. This deal applies to all vehicles including the Escalade, Denali, CTS, Grand Prix, Avalanche, Envoy, Cavalier, and H2 etc.
Let's do our part to give back to the bond.
In order to continue the program and secure future benefits from GM, we must "step it up" with the "Steppin Up with GM & Kappa" Program. Please pass the information on. Further details can be obtained from checking our website: www.gm.com/Kappa. Now the odds are even better this month at winning a new car --- probably about1 in 5000! All you have to do is stop by a GM dealer and push the designated OnStar button for a chance to win a new vehicle. For more details visithttp://www.gm.com/vc/hotbutton/index.html. We thank you for your support and remember, your brand new GM Vehicle is waiting for you.
