T hank you for your support. Through the generosity of 328 donors, the Forever Alpha Campaign has raised $3.948 million toward this historic effort. A huge amount of thanks goes to each alumnus who contributed financially to the campaign. The beautiful home you have created will significantly impact the long-term vitality of Beta Theta Pi at Miami University. Your gifts not only sustain Alpha Chapter for the future, they're proof of the value you place in your Beta membership and the commitment you hold to better the lives of our undergraduate members. Simply put, your gift states that Beta Theta Pi matters. The academic support, brotherhood, and sense of community our fraternity provides today's young men cannot be underestimated. Our chapter is still a place that positively shapes the lives of undergraduates and will continue to for generations to come. As we admire our magnificent new home, there must be an understanding that more is still to be done. In addition to the need to pay down our bank loan, essential projects must still be addressed and require further funding. We must finance our Leadership Coaching Program with GIANTWorldwide Consulting and cover costs for our live-in house director. To place Alpha Chapter in a strong position financially, and to support these projects, we must raise as much as possible for our campaign. You can help the campaign and show that Beta matters to you by contributing in one of the following ways: • Join the cause and make a multi-year pledge. • Make a new or additional one-time contribution. • Extend the gift you have already made by adding a sixth year to your pledge schedule. • Accelerate your payment schedule and submit your next payment before year-end. We are only $51,225 from our $4 million goal. Help us hit this important milestone! Use the enclosed pledge form or make your gift at foreveralpha.org today!
