t is our honor and privilege to announce to
you an incredibly important undertaking
for Sigma Pi at Eastern Illinois University.
For the last year, the Alumni Association and
several dedicated alumni have been working dil-
igently to position Beta-Gamma for the future.
Today, we proudly announce e Campaign for
Beta-Gamma. is capital campaign will reno-
vate our beloved home to provide a safe living
environment and competitive housing for our
undergraduates and generations of Brothers still
to come. e campaign is designed to secure the
future of Sigma Pi on the Eastern Illinois Uni-
versity campus and provide an improved atmo-
sphere for Beta-Gammas.
Can you picture this? e Chapter House with-
out any walls, down to the studs. e only walls
standing are in the dining room. is is to pre-
serve the original elephant hide wallpaper. e
overall project is more than just the moderniza-
tion of the house. It is our goal to make our home
a safer living environment. With these improve-
ments to the physical plant, we believe we can
be better stewards to providing an environment
with modern mechanics.
A detailed list of the major improvements required
to achieve our goals can be found on page 2.

CIAA LEADERSHIP
Thank You, Alumni
We would like to thank the Alumni Association
and the campaign committee for their tireless
efforts in getting this project off the ground. We
also want to thank the campaign committee for
all their time and efforts, as well as the era and
class leaders, who are working to get the mes-
sage out and get classmates involved. Most of
all, a very special thank-you goes to the early
supporters of the campaign who have given so
generously. Early commitments from these ded-
icated alumni have helped us raise $312,500 of
our campaign goal. We hope the example they
set will inspire you to stretch your gi as far as
possible so that this campaign lives up to the leg-
acy of the Beta-Gamma Chapter of Sigma Pi at
Eastern Illinois. More information on how you
can donate to the campaign will be shared in the
coming months.
How You Can Help
We now have a chance to repay in a small way
what Sigma Pi provided us: a home away from
home, where we learned the joys and respon-
sibilities of friendship and Brotherhood. is
is our chance to preserve this opportunity for
generations. We must challenge one another to
support this campaign and reconnect with our
Chapter. We know that the principles and ideals
we all learned as Beta-Gamma men will serve to
inspire us as we consider what we can do individ-
ually and collectively. Every contribution counts,
and every gi will benefit future Brothers. We are
asking for your help in this essential endeavor.
We hope you will join our growing list of loyal
supporters of e Campaign for Beta-Gamma.
Donors who contribute $1,000 or more to the
campaign will be recognized in campaign publi-
cations, unless otherwise requested; donors who
contribute $2,500 and above will be recognized
on a prominently displayed wall in the Chapter
Room once the renovation is complete.
Please contact us if you have questions about the
campaign—your participation will make a differ-
ence.
