THETA THETA CHAPTER OF SIGMA CHI FRATERNITY | UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN | SPRING 2025
T
he House Corporation continues its work
maintaining the property at 548 S. State Street.
Over the past year, our major projects included
repairing and replacing stairs and flooring
throughout the house. On top of that, there are
always a variety of small items that need to be
addressed to meet our code obligations. We have
some plumbing work coming up to keep the
bathrooms and showers operating and are planning
for eventual roof repairs.
Our finances are solid, and we continue to be
in a good position to address the needs of our
113-year-old house. We are optimistic that our
number of live-in brothers will increase next
year toward a recent era high of 32, up from 26
this year. One of the challenges for the House
Corporation over the past 10 years has been the
nationwide trend for members to only live in the
house for one year, if at all. We've worked with
the undergraduates to address this, and they have
changed their bylaws to require at least one year in
the house. Our location is the best on campus, and
we are doing our part to keep it in great shape.
DONATIONS ARE ALWAYS
APPRECIATED
We can always use additional help if you are
able to contribute, either financially or with your
time. Alumni donations pay for this mailing
and our efforts to keep our database up to date
and everyone connected. We are determined to
eliminate our existing mortgage debt of $104,000,
and we've been able to direct some recent
contributions toward that goal. Please fill out and
return the enclosed card with your gift
for 2025.
WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!
Timewise, we can always use more brothers
willing to join either the House Corporation or
the Alumni Advisory Board to meet directly (or
by Zoom) with the Chapter leadership. During
our monthly meetings, we provide guidance and
best practices as they manage our Chapter. You
can reach out to me directly to learn more about
how you could attend meetings and find ways to
participate.
