Because You Believe Stickers
Because You Believe stickers are a great way to acknowledge and thank your colleagues for believing in you! Stickers will be available at the Silent Auction table at the Annual Meeting.
Stickers are $5.00 each. With your purchase, you will receive a card that you can personalize and a Because You Believe sticker for your mentor, fellow volunteer, former coworker, or friend to proudly display on his/her Annual Meeting nametag.
All sticker sales benefit the AFA Foundation – your purchases recognize and honor your colleagues while raising money for a great cause!
Silent Auction
Since 1994, the Silent Auction has been the AFA Foundation's most popular event, raising over $240,000 to support those involved in the advisement of men's and women's fraternities and sororities. Your bids help the Foundation fund projects aimed at strengthening our profession, including research and professional development programs – please help make this our best year yet!
Thank you to everyone who has already donated an item to the Silent Auction! If you would still like to donate an item, please print the
donation form, fax it to 770/903-3988, and bring the item to Phoenix with you. Please contact
Kyle Jordan, Silent Auction Coordinator, with any questions about the Silent Auction.
The 2010 Silent Auction will offer a wide range of items in all price ranges. Bring your checkbook and credit cards to the Annual Meeting for things to purchase for yourself, and be sure to obtain budgetary approval from your boss, department, and/or council prior to coming to Phoenix so you can bid on the books, speakers, and services that will benefit your office and your fraternity/sorority community!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT SPEAKERS IN THE SILENT AUCTION
- All of the speakers will again have a starting bid of $1,000 this year. This shows our commitment for these nationally-known speakers and their beneficial programs, but still provides your campus/organization the opportunity to book them at a bargain to your budget!
- If you have the winning bid, you/your institution doesn’t have to pay for the speaker until they come to campus! Most speakers require a mutually agreeable date in the 2011 calendar year.
- As always, the Silent Auction bids pay for the speaker’s services; the institution is still responsible for travel and business-class accommodations.

The Amicus Sequentes Circle
The Amicus Sequentes Circle honors those who leave a legacy for the future of the Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors through specific gifts or bequests to the Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors Foundation.
In 2006, the Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors celebrated thirty years of service to higher education and the fraternal movement. The reason AFA was established remains vital today - that is to enhance its members’ ability to create fraternity and sorority experiences that positively affect students, host institutions, and communities.
During this historic 30th anniversary year, the Foundation is announcing the establishment of a planned giving program and will be campaigning for charter members of its new planned giving recognition society. This dedicated group will be known as the Amicus Sequentes Circle, or “friends to those that follow” in the Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors.
If you have included the Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors Foundation in your will or estate plan and have not notified the Foundation, please do so, and you will be recognized as a member of the Amicus Sequentes Circle. Members of The Circle will be listed in future annual reports or, if you wish, you may request anonymity. This is an opportunity to make a statement about our personal values… the satisfaction of perpetuating an important cause for future generations… the increased financial ability we now have to arrange generous planned gifts during and beyond our lifetime. These are all reasons why we make charitable gifts in our estate plans. The Foundation’s Board members and staff welcome your inquiries and will assist you in becoming a Charter Member of the new Amicus Sequentes Circle!
