Purchased in 1976 from Sigma Alpha Mu, 606 East Rollins has been a part of Epsilon Iota's legacy for 43 years, and, like any 43-plus-year-old home, is showing its age. It has become clear we must make a major investment in our chapter house if we are to remain competitive, provide a quality living environment, and meet the needs of our sisters today. Greek Membership Remains Strong, Expected to Grow Kappa Delta at MU is thriving with more than 250 active members. While large chapter size is welcomed and appreciated, it does present some difficulties with the current facility. The entire chapter is no longer able to fit in the chapter room and the chapter can no longer have all-chapter dinners due to lack of space. With most members not living in the chapter house, the need for more common space is critical. Our facility does not have the appropriate amount of study and living space to make all sisters feel welcome and at home. Housing Competition at All-Time High Our beloved home at 606 East Rollins has witnessed the march of time. While Kappa Delta continues to attract some of the top women, we know that we are losing quality potential members to other sororities that offer better facilities. Other sororities at MU have responded to chapter growth and increased competition within the Greek community by investing in substantial upgrades or rebuilding their facilities. We also compete with the amenities offered in new and renovated on-campus residence halls and off-campus apartments. Over the past decade, Mizzou has built nine and renovated eight residence halls. Newly constructed off-campus apartments offer hotel-style amenities, including fitness centers, luxury pools, game rooms and more. For Kappa Delta to remain a premier sorority at MU, we must renovate and expand our facility to attract the quality of women we pride ourselves on. 1 2 PAGE 3 UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI
