he undergraduate chapter is doing its part to reestablish Michigan
Gamma as a local and national fraternity leader. In order to ensure
our continued success, we must update and improve our chapter house.
While the projects completed to date are certainly significant, more must
be done to ensure our chapter's long-term success.
e Challenge
Competition and Housing Demands
ere has been a paradigm shi in the housing market across the coun-
try, including at Michigan State. Today's college students and their par-
ents expect more for their housing dollars. A large component is the in-
troduction of single-occupancy rooms and suite-style living. Renovated
residence halls, as well as new apartment complexes, pull undergradu-
ates and potential new members away from fraternity houses by offering
more space and privacy. In order to recruit and retain college men, we
must offer a safe, attractive, and efficient facility.
e Need for Space
Michigan Gamma knows that an important component of maintaining
a strong chapter is a strong leadership presence. One way to ensure this
is through keeping juniors and seniors in the chapter house. In order
to accomplish this, we must add additional bedrooms to our home.
Furthermore, adding single bedrooms will create desirable living spaces
and motivate men to stay in the chapter house.
Academics and Technology
Study space and academic needs have changed. A college living facility
must include state-of-the-art technology and multiple electrical outlets
in each room. e need for quiet, well-lit, and comfortable personal and
group study space within the chapter house is necessary for our members
to compete academically. e plans will reflect each of these needs.
Our Solution
Aer careful examination, SAE F&H has developed a plan to meet the
needs of our undergraduate members, ensuring that Michigan Gamma
maintains a strong presence at Michigan State far into the future. is
major expansion will impact each floor of 342 N. Harrison Avenue and
provide additional bedroom, study and community space.
Ensuring our Continued Success
