The Collegiate Housing and Infrastructure Act of 2005 has been introduced in both the House and the Senate. The Association of Fraternity Advisors (our professional association) and its members have been asked to provide assistance once again in the efforts to build support for this important legislation that benefits fraternities and sororities. To that end, I am forwarding to each of you templates that can be modified in minutes and sent to your elected representatives.  Please urge the Members of the House of Representatives and the Senate from your district/state to support this legislation.
