2025 Founders Day Challenge

As we celebrate the enduring legacy of Alpha Sigma Phi, the Founders Day Challenge stands as our cornerstone fundraiser for supporting the growth and success of our members and chapters. The Founders Day Challenge allows us to continue being the industry leader in educational programming across North American fraternities.

With our chapters hungry to grow and new groups joining our brotherhood every year, the need for resources has never been greater. By making a gift toward the Founders Day Challenge, you are allowing Alpha Sigma Phi to uphold its tradition of excellence and remain a guiding force in shaping the leaders of tomorrow.

Check out this year's Selection Show, as Gordy Heminger, President & CEO, and Matt Humberger, Vice President & COO, dive into our 2025 bracket, analyze matchups, and set the stage for the big dance!

Both competitions will be based on points and total money raised on Founders Day. Any points previously earned in the Bracket Challenge will not carry over, giving all teams in these competitions a fresh start.

🎧 Calling all coaches! - Lead your chapter to victory

Every year, we count on the support of a dedicated group of Alpha Sig alumni and volunteers to help our chapters compete in the Founders Day Challenge. Our Rising Stars chapters are looking for a coach who will help them on Founders Day for this brand new challenge. Chapters that have a coach historically, on average, do far better than those that don't. Don't let your chapter down. Sign up today!

Here's what you can expect as a coach:

Support from Alpha Sig staff to reach as many alumni as possible.
Exclusive access to the Coach's Playbook, with resources for social media, sample communications, and insider tips from last year's top performing chapters.
An alumni contact list to help you invite others to support the challenge.

The Alpha Sigma Phi Foundation is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization and your gift is tax-deductible with the guidelines of U.S. law. To claim a gift as a deduction, please keep your email receipt as your official record. We recommend consulting with your tax preparer or attorney regarding specific questions.

Gifts to the Alpha Sigma Phi Foundation support the Fraternity’s ability to lead the way in educational programming amongst the nation’s fraternities and provide a variety of scholarships. Alpha Sigma Phi is one of very few fraternities who offer extensive officer training at no cost to our undergraduate members.

After submitting your gift, you will receive a confirmation to the email you provided. We recommend saving this email, as it will contain important information regarding the tax-deductibility of your gift. If you do not receive a confirmation email, please reach out to Kevin Finkler, at kfinkler@alphasig.org or 317.669.6634.

Make the check payable to: Alpha Sigma Phi Foundation and include the following information: Where to direct your gift (Area of Greatest Need, Chapter Fund, etc.).
