ANNOUNCING THE
BUILDING THE BEST

CAMPAIGN!
A New Home for Beta of Clovia
F
or 88 years, the bonds formed within Beta of Clovia have united generations of
women, creating a lifetime sisterhood. Whether your memories are tied to the house
on Raymond Avenue or the current home on Carter Avenue, our chapter dwellings have always
been the heart of undergraduate life for hundreds of members. Now, the time has come to ensure
that future collegians have a facility that is safe, modern, and worthy of our Clovia legacy.
We are thrilled to announce the official launch of our capital campaign, Beta of Clovia:
Building the Best Better. This ambitious project aims to raise $2 million of the $4.2 million
needed to build a new structure that will provide 21st century amenities designed to enhance
the Clovia experience, including:
• Full ADA accessible
• Spacious dining room to accommodate the entire chapter
• Efficient kitchen design to support a range of active and
alumnae activities
• Main lounge space for fostering sisterhood, with adaptability
into event space
• Computer lab, study rooms, and large group project spaces
• 12 modern bedrooms with shared bathrooms
• Meeting room for chapter and alumnae business

This is more than a house—it's an investment in the future of Beta of Clovia. We need the
dedicated support of all our alumnae to make this vision a reality. Generous gifts and group
contributions will be essential to reach our goal. A group of early and committed donors has
already set us off on the right foot. Together, we will build a home reflecting the caliber of our
past and current sisters that will continue far into the future.
Let's ensure that our beloved Beta of Clovia remains a place where sisterhood strives and
thrives. Watch your mail for information coming soon on how you can join us in this historic
effort to build the best better!
