Phi Kappa Theta - Iowa State University

PAGE 3 Corporate Board President Jerry Carpenter '88 speaks to alumni at Homecoming. Properties Manager and Building Committee member Eric Van Gorp '01 speaks to alumni at Homecoming. Stand in the Gap Study Room will have a separate plaque honoring fallen brothers who have been found to Stand in the Gap for Phi Kappa Theta, and those who Stand in the Gap on their behalf now. While current pledges will be used for the campaign, this initiative will continue for years to come. Those wishing to pledge to this initiative should write "Stand in the Gap for (fallen brother)" in the Designate My Contribution section of the enclosed pledge form. At the beginning of our efforts our fundraising consultant told us that based on their experience 20-25% of mailable alumni would contribute to this campaign. So far we have exceeded expectations by having 27% participation. We thank those of you who have already pledged and encourage those who haven't to consider joining us. Let's drive our 27% participation even higher as we stand together to support this project and protect our future. Iowa Xi celebrates so much history this year; let's honor those who came before us by ensuring we have much more history to create.

"I felt the need to pay it forward and share the same opportunities I had. I received a wonderful four years at Iowa Xi that I miss and cherish and hope many others gain similar fraternal experiences. I hope everyone can find a way to help the chapter grow and move forward so others can do and see what we have and be a little better off for it."
