Pride in Our Past, Foundation for the Future
The New 238 E. Maxwell
Beta Chi Springs Forward into Successful Capital Campaign
Positive Response Leads to Increased Campaign Goal
W
hat a year it has been! The long over-
due expansion and modernization of
the chapter house is well underway. The
journey thus far has produced rekindled friend-
ships and many returns to memory lane. This
edition of the newsletter is dedicated to updat-
ing you on the progress made on both the house
project and the capital campaign. Thanks to all
of you who have responded to Pride in Our
Past, Foundation for the Future: The New 238
E. Maxwell. Thank you for finding that moment
in your collegiate career that touched your mem-
ory in a way that inspired your gift; I thank you.
Your generosity is humbling and encouraging
for those of us actively involved in the project.
It also ensures a future generation of Beta Chis
the opportunity to create their own memories.
If the months leading up to the groundbreaking
were hectic—focus group meetings to determine
what the chapter wanted and needed, a feasibil-
ity study to determine alumnae giving poten-
tial, selection of a contractor and an interi-
or decorator, fall formal recruitment in the
Sigma Chi chapter house, endless forms for
the financing, all culminating in the celebra-
tion of a groundbreaking ceremony—then the
months since can only be considered a mara-
thon, and we are only at about mile 13.
I am so overwhelmed by our generous donors
who are making Pride in Our Past, Foundation
for the Future: The New 238 E. Maxwell a suc-
cess. Thanks to their support, we have already
reached our campaign goal of $400,000! I am
thrilled at the initial response of our alumnae
and do not want to stop the momentum short.
With a total project cost of $9.4 million, any
amount raised reduces the amount of our con-
struction debt, and as such we have set our sights
on a stretch goal of $600,000.
If you want a sneak peek at our brand-new chap-
ter house or you just want to reconnect with Beta
Chi, attend our Corporate Meeting on June 9 at
10 a.m. All alumni and undergraduate members
are welcome!
For those of you who have not yet made a con-
tribution, I challenge you to find that special
memory of sisterhood, that single experience
you would want to preserve, and make a dona-
tion to Pride in Our Past, Foundation for the Fu-
ture on behalf of it, knowing that as you honor
your memories you are ensuring the creation of
countless more.
Loyally,
