Kappa Delta Completes Renovations to
maintain inDiana alpha ChapteR house
K
appa Delta has gone to great lengths to update the rooms and common areas within the SigEp fraternity house. This summer, they
completed clean-up and renovations of all rooms on the first and second floors that were not completed the previous year. With
new furnishings throughout and window air-conditioners in all rooms, the house was in impeccable condition for the 54 women who
planned to call 690 their home this fall. It should be noted that Kappa Delta not only made their quota for this year during rush, but they
are thriving on campus. Sigma Phi Epsilon has contributed to this success through the lease of our chapter house. With Kappa Delta's
lease contributions, SigEp is becoming more financially viable, and the chapter house is being maintained to the highest of standards.
B
rothers, as the AVC prepares for the relaunch
of Sigma Phi Epsilon, Indiana Alpha, we
are looking for alumni interested in volunteering
their time to mentor undergraduates and guide
them in their lifelong journey as a SigEp—a
requirement for a successful chapter.
At this point, we are simply gathering a list
of interested members we can call on as 2020
approaches. Please send correspondence to
avc-avlumnirelations@purdue-sigeps.com. A
member of the AVC will be in contact and offer
more information on the ways you can assist
new members as we relaunch.
