How You Can Help
Spread the word with your brothers that we are moving forward with
the campaign and that we need everyone's help to complete this
important project to better the future of our
chapter. Encourage brothers who are missing
from our donor list to jump on board to support
Oklahoma Alpha's housing needs and future.
If you have already pledged, please stay committed
to your pledges. Our planning and financial models
are built upon receiving all pledges. If possible,
please consider stretching your pledge by 20% or
adding on an additional year of payments.
Feel free to reach out to me with questions. Thank
you for your support, what you have given, and
what you will give!
Fraternally,

rothers, I want each of you to know that the campaign is alive and
well, and that we are progressing quickly toward the development of
shovel-ready plans for the new chapter house. The site survey and initial site
plans were completed by Keystone Engineering.
Requests for Proposals (RFPs) were previously sent
out to a number of Architectural and Engineering
firms. Based on the responses to RFPs, the Building
Committee (BC) interviewed four firms on
September 16. The BC further negotiated with and
finally selected the firm of Bockus Payne. We are
targeting to have construction plans and documents
developed and approved by the City of Stillwater
by March 17, 2017. On the same weekend, we
toured two on-campus dorms for our undergraduate
members to live in during construction.
Generous alumni have contributed $1,450,000 in
written commitments and $967,000 has already
been collected. The building committee is
anticipating that an additional $500,000 to $600,000
will be needed for the demolition next May to start
construction in June. This will be accomplished by
the fulfillment of current written and verbal pledges
along with additional fundraising.
