Oklahoma Beta Chapter of Pi Beta Phi at Oklahoma State University | Fall 2024 arrow talk S isters, every day we're growing closer to completing our new home at 324 S. Cleveland and reaching our $9.5 million goal for the Continuing Our Oklahoma Beta Sisterhood at 324 campaign. A bright future lies ahead for Pi Beta Phi at Oklahoma State, and it's all thanks to the loyal alumnae, friends and family who have contributed so generously to this project. But we have major news to announce! Announcing a Dollar-for-Dollar Matching Gift Challenge We are so excited to announce some very generous donors have come together to start a matching gift challenge! Our member class challenge has been a fun way to get more involvement from across the decades, and it has helped bring us closer to our goal. Now we are thrilled that this matching gift challenge can propel the campaign forward. From now until December 31, generous donors will match new gifts and pledges dollar-for-dollar, up to $250,000 up to $250,000. There's no better time than now to give back to the sisterhood, as your dollars will have double the impact simply by giving to your sisters at this critical time in our campaign! New Look! We also would like to share an update on the house. The exterior has been updated for a feminine, tonal and classic look (see the rendering above). Upon arriving at the house, you will be welcomed by the silver-blue front doors. Soft curves and swoops are seen in the architecture— affectionately referred to as "angel wings." We're excited about this new look and can't wait for the house to come together. As construction continues, so does our need to reach $9.5 million to ensure the success of the project. Today, we have raised 8,631,369 from 751 donors. With a little over $860,000 left to go, we'd like to see our sisters come together to close this gap. We hope you'll join us with a first-time or new gift today to be a part of the matching challenge and make an even bigger difference for Oklahoma Beta. To do so, visit donateokbeta.causevox.com or use the enclosed pledge form. Thank you for your support of our sisterhood.
