Present (online): Grand President Paul Lindner, Executive Secretary Derek Troy, Treasurer Ed Hurst, Central Province Councilor Chris Perez, Merchandising Chairman Mike Stelzner, Phi Chapter member Jon Schwarz, Chi Chapter Member Keith Daegele

CALL TO ORDER: Grand President Lindner called the Supreme Council to order at 6:09 PM PST on Wednesday August, 2000 on the Internet, in the #SigmaPhiDelta chat-room of the DalNet Internet Relay Chat network. Three members of the Supreme Council were present, and thus a virtual quorum was NOT present.

1. NATIONAL DIRECTOR POSITION: Search committee will meet once Kevin is back from his honeymoon. (Congratulations Kevin) Trustees should be meeting in the next month to vote on funding for the position. We need to determine when Bruce can make it down to Southern California for a meeting.
2. NATIONAL RUSH CHAIRMAN PROPOSAL: Paul has not been able to contact Scott Everett about filling this position yet. Paul Lindner will talk to Scott Everett to ensure that he has the time to fill the position before appointing him. We will vote once Paul makes the appointment.
3. CASTLE: Castle articles were due to Burt Wagner LAST MONTH. Castle is expected to be out in 4 weeks. Layout should be almost completed.
4. FUNDRAISING PROPOSAL: Ed Hurst and Mike Stelzner are working on a proposal to sell space on the Fraternity Servers. Part of the funds raised would be dedicated to the Expansion fund. This would be limited to fraternity members only. The proposal will be finalized and voted on at the next meeting.
5. RIP OFF TROPHY: Continued discussion about proposal to require each chapter to have a rip-off trophy. We are trying to promote rivalry between the chapters, while curbing chapters stealing from each other. Chris will finalize the proposal and email it out to the SC.
6. PHI CHAPTER: Paul will be visiting the chapter soon and will be meeting with the Dean of Student Affairs.
7. INTERNSHIP: Committee has not met yet, planning to meet soon.
8. BOOK SCHOLARSHIP: Information has been sent out to the chapters. We need everybody to advertise this to their chapters to make it a success.
9. FRATERNITY CREDIT CARD FOR EXPANSION: Ed will research the feasibility of getting a credit card for expansion efforts.
10. EXPANSION BUDGET: We need everybody to think of ways to get more funds into the expansion budget.
11. OTHER BUSINESS: Paul is not planning on running for Grand President again next summer. We need to take some time this year to encourage members to become involved on a national level.
12. Next meeting is September 25, 2000 at 6:00 PM PST

Meeting ended at 7:19 PM PST August 2, 2000.
