Lend Your Support to Secure the SigEp Legacy at Oklahoma State
T
hrough an outpouring of alumni support, we have reached $1,179,571 in
pledged commitments from 122 alumni and friends. This is an incredible
feat, which would not have been possible without the support of brothers who
demonstrate what it means to be a lifelong member of Sigma Phi Epsilon.
Throughout the Pride in Our Past, Ensuring Our Future: The Campaign for
Oklahoma Alpha, numbers have played a significant role. Some numbers you
have seen before, such as our $2 million campaign goal. Others are interesting
facts recently learned. It's amazing to see how numbers impact every aspect of
the campaign for Oklahoma Alpha.
122: The number of generous brothers and friends who have donated to our
campaign. The ages range from a brother who graduated in 1950 to active
members who will graduate in 2016.
$9,688: The average amount donors have given to the campaign. Gifts of
every amount are greatly appreciated and needed to minimize the debt on
this project.
$41.67: Dollars per month for five years (a total of $2,500) to have your
name on a prominent, permanently displayed plaque in the chapter house, in
recognition of your leadership gift to this campaign. Pledges may be spread
over a five-year period to help maximize your support.
1981, 1953, 1958, 1985, 1954, 1998, and 1970: The graduation classes with
the highest giving percentages. The graduation class of 1981 leads the way
with 38% of members giving to the campaign. Congratulations! Help your
class increase its giving participation. A gift at any level will make an impact!

: The symbol for infinity. That is the potential lasting effect of any size
gift to the Pride in Our Past, Ensuring Our Future campaign. Who knows,
perhaps a world leader, a scientist who finds a cure for a disease, or your
child's future teacher might be nurtured and supported in the chapter house
we called home during our college years.
Brothers, we have accomplished a milestone for our fraternity. It is our earnest
hope that you will be a part of these numbers that are impacting the future of
Oklahoma Alpha. Join us in this effort by making a gift using the enclosed pledge
card and return envelope.
Fraternally,
