  Two National Sponsors Make the HPO Commitment

  Zeta Tau Alpha has made the Crown Commitment as a National Sponsor of HPO. Making the commitment means that Zeta Tau Alpha has agreed to be a Crown Sponsor of the organization for three years, beginning on October 1, 2012. Crown sponsorship requires an investment of $10,000 per year. Zeta Tau Alpha continues to set the bar for HPO.

  Delta Gamma has committed to the Diamond Dedication level. The Diamond Dedication requires a three-year commitment of $7,500 per year. Not only is Delta Gamma the first to make this commitment, but the long-time HPO supporter has moved up from the Platinum Level to the Diamond Level.

  HPO established the Crown Commitment, Diamond Dedication and Platinum Promise (three years at the $5,000 level) this spring in an effort to secure multi-year sponsorship commitments. The National Sponsorship year runs from October 1 through September 30 each year.
