Our gifts are an investment in the lives of our collegiate members and the future of Xi Chapter. We thank all the alumnae who've already contributed, as those gifts have directly impacted our renovation efforts and our members. We are at a critical point in our capital campaign. At the end of this year, we will evaluate what projects can be completed during the summer of 2014. This will constitute phase two of our renovations, and we'd like to complete as much as possible while the students are on summer vacation. We need to know what kind of dollars we've got to work with, and this is where you come in. We need to get closer to our $500,000 goal, and we can only do this with your support. There are several major projects, such as adding a third story to our house and renovating a new chapter room, that we may not be able to complete with the dollars we've raised as of today. However, your pledge can make the difference. Above: New plaque at the entryway of the Sigma Kappa house. Right: New railing on the front of the Sigma Kappa house. We must focus our efforts and ensure the same opportunities provided to us will be available for our future members. To remain a strong sorority on campus, we must provide a competitive facility that accommodates growth and attracts the best and brightest young women. Several sororities on campus have undergone major renovation projects and several are about to embark on them. The time is now to succeed in our campaign to be able to finish renovations and compete on campus. Broad participation across all giving levels is required to reach our goal. Xi Chapter needs your generosity now more than ever. Please send in your pledge form today to increase our total participation and make the renovations a reality. Your gift couldn't come at a better time. We look forward to adding your name to our donor list.
