September '08 News As a chapter officer, you will receive an informational email, like this one, from the Central Office once a month. This email contains a number of links to important documents and areas of the web site we want to bring to your attention. If you hold more than one title (see recipients in parenthesis at end of each blurb) there is a good chance you will be receiving several emails today. It is important to read each email as they vary slightly - thus the different groups. Because of email, you have an opportunity to forward this message to other Deltasigs - collegiate and alumni - that you believe will find this information useful. Most documents listed in this email require you to download Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 or higher. We recommend for you to download Adobe Acrobat Reader 8.1, for free, which can be found at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html. RISK MANAGEMENT AND CONDUCT UPDATE! You should have received an email from Grand President Mitch Simmons last week about the new Risk Management and Conduct Policy, as well as other recent policy changes. If you missed that email or haven't had time to review it yet, please go to the home page of www.dspnet.org to review these new changes affecting every collegiate, alumni and faculty member; pledge and colony member of Delta Sigma Pi.

Beginning this year, small tax-exempt organizations (including our collegiate and alumni chapters) that previously were not required to file IRS returns will be required to submit an annual electronic notice, Form 990-N, Electronic Notice (e-Postcard) . Chapters will be required to file the e-Postcard for the fiscal year ending 6/30/2008 - submission deadline is before November. Failure to complete the filing requirements will result in loss of your tax exempt status. Chapters need their own EIN number and may not use the National Fraternity's number. If you are not sure what your Chapter's EIN number is, you can contact the Central Office. Information can be found on the publications section of www.dspnet.org with links to the IRS web site for easier filing.
