“We’re changing the world with technology.” – Bill Gates
In 2015, that statement couldn’t be any more true. With the constant advancement of technology and the internet, communication has simplified. Today, The Emerald Online embraces the technological revolution, and enters 2015.
With the implementation and development of theemerald.org, nearly every Sigma Pi member in the world now has the ability to get the most current up-to-date information about our brotherhood – on any device! You can still expect two print editions of The Emerald to be delivered to your door (as long as your contact information is updated on mySigmaPi.com). You can also expect all of the same content (plus some new features and columns) to be provided on the online platform. This addition to The Emerald lineup is about the challenging economics of print publishing and distribution, while remaining more connected to our subscribers. You may have seen this model set forth by leading lifestyle magazines such as The Rolling Stone and Sports Illustrated.
