Beta Zeta Chapter of Sigma Nu at Purdue University
Issue link: https://www.epageflip.net/i/1095541
W hile the Sigma Nu experience is certainly more than the bricks and mortar of the chapter house, our home un- doubtedly plays a significant role in the development of our brothers and as a proud symbol of our shared values and goals. Our home has been an important piece to creating stronger bonds of brotherhood, camaraderie, and confidence—whether on Tower or Littleton. It also acts as a valuable recruitment tool to attract future brothers, and a permanent home on campus as our alumni return. Our Plan Facility Improvements Our goal is for Beta Zeta to once again occupy 1301 Tower Drive by fall 2019. For this and the continued success of our chapter, we must make a significant investment in our property to ensure we solidify the future of Sigma Nu at Purdue. In conjunction with CSL Management, the Purdue Sigma Nu Association has begun addressing needed repairs, maintenance, and improvements con- tained in the latest survey inspection report. e needs of the Beta Zeta chapter house extend beyond the cash flow of the Associa- tion. We must come together as alumni to invest time and resourc- es into preserving 1301 Tower Drive.
