Volunteers Needed!
The housing corporation is searching for
some brothers that can bring experience to our upcoming renovation
campaign. If you haven't seen the campus in a while, it's changing.
New student dorms, a new student center, and remodeled classrooms;
the chapter house is
essentially unchanged since the 1960s. We are in the early stages of
developing a plan to modernize the house, and both architectural and
fund raising experience will be invaluable. Please contact me at
HousingCorpPresident@iitalphasigs.org or (312) 498-3475 if you
would be interested, or know of someone I should contact.

Recent update from Brother Ling Qi
I have never been very good at keeping
in touch (apologies), and
recently this particular bad habit has been degenerating (more
apologies).
That said, I have recently gotten a better excuse about it: As many
of
you may already know, on Jun 18, my wife had given
birth
to a boy, 綦振豪 (Zack Qi), weighting in at 7lb 2oz. He is a fairly
average baby with the same astounding ability to generate his own
weight in dirty diapers every day. He has also inherited some very
excellent genes from me: from the nocturnal nature to the lack of
hair. I have finally been able to coax one photo worth sharing, and
it
is attached.
Between diaper changes, I am involved in an eternal struggle
between two companies for dominance in the PC graphics arena. The
latest salvo from our side is called "GTX 280" which is mainly a
piece
of silicon the size of a postage stamp that can draw upwards of 180
amperes. If all goes well, these types of processor will be able to
cure cancer and bring world peace in several years time.
Best wishes,
-Ling Qi
