For young alumni within ten years of graduation, Marquis Society membership may be obtained with a gift of $100 multiplied by the number of years since graduation. If your company offers a matching gift program, you may use that option to achieve Marquis Society status. Check online to see if your company participates in the program, or call (610) 330-5046 for assistance. You may send your form in with your gift, or you can send it after your gift has been made.
