The Charles E. Diehl Society
As president of ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ from 1917 to 1949, Charles E. Diehl set the standard of excellence. The Gothic buildings, the rigorous curriculum, the honors courses adapted from Oxford, and the insistence on excellence remain as monuments to Dr. Diehl's leadership.
In Dr. Diehl's honor, seven leaders of the Mid-South founded the Charles E. Diehl Society in 1973 with the intent of funding an exceptional academic experience. Members' gifts, totaling 48% of the unrestricted gifts to ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ each year, provide funds for quality teaching and research. They also provide financial assistance to students, funds for laboratory and individual study experiences and many of the extras that tuition dollars do not cover. ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ is one of the finest colleges of the liberal arts and sciences in the nation in large part because of the Charles E. Diehl Society. The Diehl Society members' involvement is critical for the institution's advancement. The 130+ members span the globe as ambassadors for the college, increasing the awareness of ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ and promoting membership in the Diehl Society worldwide. Members are asked to help identify or assist with potential funding sources and publicity opportunities.
There are six levels of membership in the Diehl Society:
* Alumni one to nine years past graduation receive 50% discount

The Red and Black Society

The society recognizes its members for their generosity and provides them with opportunities to develop a closer relationship with ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½. The name of the society comes from the official colors of the college. It is fitting that these colors, symbols of ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½, should also signify this group's commitment to leading the college. The Red and Black Society members' generosity and involvement with ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ set an outstanding example for others to follow.
Membership levels are:
