A NEW CHAPTER HOUSE FOR
Sigma Chi Fraternity
University of Florida - Gainesville, Florida
GAMMA THETA TIMES
Spring 2022
Sigma Chi Fraternity at the University of Florida
A
s ambitious individuals, we often draft
lists of goals with the hopes of bettering
ourselves—get into shape, buy a new car,
spend more time with family—and all too soon
we set things aside. It can wait until later.
However, to celebrate the Gamma Theta legacy
and to build our chapter's future—waiting
is not an option. The campus climate at the
University of Florida is one of competition
for the best and brightest. Across the
country, fraternities are focused on improving
their facilities to meet the expectations of
undergraduates and compete against other
campus housing. At Florida specifically, 4
major fraternities have built new houses, and 7
have renovated, giving our peers a competitive
advantage. Our time for this endeavor is now,
and we will not be left behind.
Since we first announced these plans, we've
nearly doubled the number of brothers who
have chosen not to wait. Their generous
contributions have helped us reach $2,165,346
in pledges toward our $3 million goal. Our
timeline for construction however, has been
impacted by the rising construction costs and
the COVID pandemic. Our House Corporation
revised the plan for a construction date in Q4
2023 with a targeted completion date still in
time to celebrate our 100th anniversary.
To meet this timeline, we need the nearly 90% of
our alumni who have yet to contribute to act now!
Remember, gifts of all amounts are valued and
will help us succeed. If you are able to make
a commitment of $500/year for five years,
your name will be prominently displayed on a
permanent plaque in the chapter house. There
are also naming opportunities available for gifts
of $25,000 or more. Simply return the form
enclosed in this newsletter or visit ufsigmachi.
causevox.com to make your pledge today.
If we don't give back to chapter now, then when?
It is hard to place a value on our Sigma Chi
experience, but by making a pledge today, we
demonstrate what our experience has meant to us.
Let's not wait to recommit to Gamma Theta.
