Pre-Enrollment Vital to Ensure Success of
Your Fraternity Purchasing Group

Psi Omega, Xi Psi Phi, and Delta Sigma Delta Dental Fraternities, have partnered with Innovative Funding Strategies (IFS) to operate your Fraternity Purchasing Group (FPG). This is the fraternities and dentists largest step ever in developing a National Purchasing Group that will not only save you thousands on your annual dental supplies and services, but generate significant revenues to the fraternities. Purchasing group members will also have access to IFS contracts that provide highly discounted general office and computer supplies, cellular phone services, and possible other benefits as well.

IFS is currently Beta-testing the fantastic new program in a few specific markets in the Southeast. Several major dental distributors are working closely with IFS to monitor the enthusiasm and response of the dentists in these test regions prior to finalizing national pricing formulas. The plan is to gradually expand to additional regions in an orderly and methodical fashion that should provide membership availability to dentists in all 50 states by the end of 2006.

Now is the time to show your support for Psi Omega, and let the dental supply industry see that dentists want access to national pricing programs similar to those that our physician colleagues have been enjoying for years. The best way to ensure that the dental suppliers continue to work with us toward this goal is for you to pre-register. There is absolutely no cost or obligation to purchase your membership through Psi Omega. Right now we simply need a sizeable group of interested members to ensure the most participation and interest from the dental supply industry.

Please take a moment today, and visit the IFS website: www.ifsglobal.org. There you will be able to learn more about this exciting new program that your fraternity has made available to you. Downloadable membership registration forms are there for Your convenience.

This program has tremendous potential to provide the dental fraternities with sufficient funding to accomplish many good things for our profession. Additionally, the fraternity with the largest number of registered program members on May 31, 2006, will receive an additional incentive - please help make Psi Omega the recipient!
