Sigma Phi Epsilon - Drake University

W e are excited to share some updates on the continued progress of our Fraternity as we wrap up the Securing Our Tradition of Excellence capital campaign and look forward to an exciting year ahead. CAMPAIGN SUCCESS First and foremost, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for the generosity and commitment of our alumni during the capital campaign. Thanks to your support, we have more than $600,000 in funds that will benefit our Chapter now and lay the foundation for future success. Every gift plays a critical role in ensuring Iowa Delta can continue to thrive for generations to come. UNDERGRADUATE EXCELLENCE As we reflect on the growth of Iowa Delta, we continue to be immensely proud of the accomplishments of our undergraduates. Our current brothers show unwavering commitment to academic excellence, community service, and leadership, carrying on the proud traditions of our Chapter. They carry on the tradition of what it means to be a part of Iowa Delta. We are confident the next generation of alumni will be just as impressive and carry forward the values that have always defined us. UPCOMING PROJECTS Looking ahead, we are thrilled to announce we will be beginning a series of much-needed improvements to our Chapter House in 2026. This is an exciting first step in ensuring our home is a place of pride for current and future brothers. A renovated kitchen will not only provide a better space for brothers to gather but will also improve the overall experience for everyone who calls the house home. We are looking forward to making more improvements and will keep you updated on our progress.
