Gamma Chi Chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha
at Oklahoma State University
SPRING 2016
T
his has been an exciting spring for Gamma Chi Chapter! Construction
on our new home is underway and each day brings us one step closer
to project completion. Additionally, alumni returned in April for our Hall
of Fame Banquet (see more on page 5), where an exciting announcement
regarding the Honoring Our Legacy, Securing Our Future campaign
was made.
CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
Since our groundbreaking in September, foundation has been poured, rebar
installed, and waterproofing completed. The Gamma Chi project site will
be even busier in the coming months. With framing underway, the outline
of the house will really take shape, allowing alumni to catch their first
glimpses of the future Gamma Chi.
Alumni recently had the opportunity to visit the project site during the
Hall of Fame Banquet weekend in April. For many, it was encouraging to
stop by and see what their generous donations are helping to achieve. If
you weren't able to make it, you can view our live feed of construction at

CAMPAIGN STILL NEEDS SUPPORT
To see our vision of a new Gamma Chi chapter house finally taking shape
is exciting and a tangible symbol of the hard work and effort our campaign
volunteers have invested in this endeavor. However, there is still much to
be done. To date, we are still $1.9 million from fully funding this project.
To help propel us toward our goal, brother Neal Patterson '68 has
generously agreed to match any new gift dollar-for-dollar, up to
$2 million, until December 31, 2016! If you have not already contributed
to the campaign, now is the time! With this matching initiative, your gift
will have twice the impact. Those who have already made their pledge of
support can still take advantage of this special opportunity as well, either
by adding an additional year to their pledge schedule or making another
one-time gift.
With more than $1.9 million left to meet our goal, I ask that if you
have not contributed, please fill out the enclosed pledge card, or visit
http://osupike.kintera.org/donate and make your commitment today.
Please, do not delay. We need your support to ensure our construction
timeline stays on track and our project is completed without any long-term
debt. If you have already contributed, please consider adding a year to your
pledge schedule or rally your class to make a group gift. If you have not
contributed, now is the time! As you can see, this project is happening and
we need the support of every brother to achieve success.
Fraternally,
