ear Brother, we have just finished
the first year of our current five-year
Strategic plan, 50/50 by 2020. This plan is
focused on improving the Triangle experience
for all of our members and creating highly
functioning active and alumni organizations by
serving our five key constituent groups. Our
objectives are:
CHAPTERS- grow effective, sustainable
incubators of personal growth
ACTIVES- develop men of character, strong
values, and professional capability
ALUMNI- create and nurture an aspiration for
life-long engagement
COMMUNITY- make visible high-impact
external contributions which contribute to a
better world
NATIONAL OFFICE & COUNCIL- become an
essential, value-added partner that facilitates
organizational and individual success
A key task has been to align our budget with
our constituent groups. This was absolutely
essential to understand which objectives are
being funded and which are not. As expected,
the majority of our support goes to chapters
and actives. Our projected allocation for 20162017 is:
16%
38%
12%
25%

This was also the first of three years of the Garatoni Building Better Men
Endowment Program, which will recognize those chapters which are
excelling in ways to build better men and enhance the college experience
in a positive way.
Also launched this year was the Gargani Academic U, a four-part program
which guides chapters in providing a challenging environment for academic
excellence for their members.
You should be proud to know that these types of programs are unmatched
in the Fraternity world and will continue to help Triangle set a high
standard of excellence in years to come.
We continue to enhance our offerings related to men’s health and
wellness through the Fraternal Health & Safety Initiative, offering modules
on alcohol & other drugs, hazing prevention, and sexual misconduct.
I continue to be excited by all of the improvements we are making to help
our chapters improve the experience and development that our members
receive. We are blessed with an outstanding staff and volunteers.

Servant Based Leadership
One of the main themes of this years member experience has been
servant based leadership. This idea has been sewn throughout all
our educational programming & member development. The

building a better world. To date, around the country our members
have completed 10,500 of service hours and have donated
$8,000.00 to charitable organizations & philanthropies that they
are deeply connected to.
