To
Whom
It
May
Concern:
We
understand
that
Alpha
Chi
(the
"House
Corporation")
is
engaged
in
fundraising
for
the
construction
of
a
chapter
house
for
the
Alpha
Chi
Chapter
of
Phi
Kappa
Tau
at
Mississippi
State
University.
We
also
understand
that
your
Foundation
plans
to
make
a
grant
to
the
House
Corporation
to
fund
certain
expenses
incurred
in
connection
with
the
educational
spaces
in
the
house.
The
University
is
committed
to
providing
facilities
for
individual
and
group
study,
library
facilities,
and/or
educational
equipment
(including
the
provision
of
computer
and
internet
access
in
University
dormitories
and
other
buildings)
to
students
living
both
on
and
off
its
campus.
The
educational
facilities
at
the
chapter
house,
including
study
rooms,
library
facilities,
and/or
specialized
areas,
such
as
computer
rooms
and
house-wide
computer
and
internet
access,
drafting
rooms,
laboratories
or
other
instructional
areas,
are
similar
in
nature
to
those
provided
by
the
University
for
the
education
of
the
general
student
body.
As
a
result,
the
provision
of
these
additional
facilities
will:
(1)
relieve
the
University
of
the
burden
of
providing
such
facilities
to
students
who
are
members
of
the
chapter;
(2)
supplement
the
resources
of
the
University
by
providing
additional
equipment
and
facilities;
and
(3)
alleviate
the
current
use
of
the
University's
existing
facilities
by
providing
an
alternative
source
for
members
of
the
chapter
and
guests.
We
also
wish
to
confirm
that
22%
of
our
undergraduate
population
belongs
to
a
fraternity
or
sorority,
and
4.5%
of
our
undergraduate
population
resides
in
a
fraternity
or
sorority
chapter
house.
Sincerely,
John
