UNIVERSITY OF OREGON
SPRING 2025
Updates from Oregon Beta
First, we are building the new Chapter House! We now own (what is
likely) the last vacant lot on campus, 967 Patterson Street, two lots
down from the Beta Theta Pi house. We are in the final stages of
building permits and plan to start construction late spring; we plan
to occupy the house in fall 2026. Many thanks to Mike Sullivan '84,
who has been leading our effort with several other alumni playing
key roles.
We are about $1.5 million short of the estimated cost of house
construction and furnishing/equipment. The Alumni Volunteer Corp.
(AVC) is engaged in serious conversations about the next steps for
closing this gap to ensure the future success of our Chapter. We
look forward to sharing more as we can.
Finally, we have begun to plan our 100th anniversary celebration
for May 2026 in Eugene (see details on page 2). Weekend plans
include Chapter House tours and plenty of celebrations—both by
class and with the full brotherhood. Please plan on being there, and
make sure all your brothers are on board! Thanks to Brian Stewart '83
for initiating these plans.

On the site of our next house,
brothers who lived in our first two houses
We have three BIG plans for the next 18 months,
AND WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Preparing for our
To bring all this together, we
are rallying around the theme of
"Celebrating 100 Years, Building for
100 More." As alumni, we have all
benefited from being Oregon SigEps.
Our brothers became lifelong friends,
and our experiences prepared us for
success in our lives and careers. We
now have the chance to preserve that
opportunity for today's young men—to
pay it forward.
Our vision is to restore Oregon Beta
SigEp as the prestigious Fraternity
Chapter that undergraduates
are eager to join. Membership of
distinction—like West Point, the
Rhodes Scholarship, or Julliard—
with high standards to join and high
expectations to uphold. With the
newest and best house on campus
and a strong financial foundation that
can afford scholarships and exclusive
programs, we will be on our way to
realizing that vision—and we will
all be even prouder to be known as
Oregon SigEps.
Fraternally,
