Alumni have gathered to form a capital campaign committee and have worked tirelessly to bring us to this critical point in Theta Theta's history. This capital campaign will help us meet the needs of the undergraduates, secure the future of our Chapter at Michigan, and position ourselves to attract top student leaders. As of April 8, more than $949,350 has been donated by generous alumni, including a $25,000 donation from the undergraduates. Chapter House Renovation Necessary to Remain Competitive As alumni, it is vital we contribute time, energy, and our financial resources to the Theta Theta Chapter. Your financial gift will be an investment in the lives of our undergraduate members and the future of Theta Theta. Several fraternities at the University of Michigan have invested millions of dollars to update and replace their residential facilities. We are fortunate to have such a great location on campus. However, to attract the top men to Theta Theta and provide an attractive home for our alumni to return to, we must complete the renovation work that we began in 1999. We will update the exterior and common areas and set the standard at the University of Michigan for many years to come. The undergraduates have already shown their support and loyalty to the campaign, and we can only achieve our vision if we work together to make this project a reality. It is now time to aggressively realize our goal of completing the renovation and the significant updates our 100-year-old Chapter House requires. Highlights of Our Renovation Plan • Replace first floor windows • Renovate first floor common rooms • Repair/replace deteriorating walls and flooring in Chapter room • Reconstruct front and side porches to meet code requirements • Inspect and repair deteriorating brick exterior Support the Future of Theta Theta The success of our Chapter and our alumni is a tribute to the foundation that Sigma Chi instilled in each of us. We urge you to focus on the important task of providing the same experience for future generations of Theta Theta Chapter members. To compete with other fraternities at Michigan, we must revitalize our Chapter House. This will allow our undergraduate men to compete with other fraternities, residence halls, and off-campus living options. We must offer our undergraduates a safe and attractive facility. We urge your thoughtful consideration of this project and what it means for the future of Sigma Chi at the University of Michigan. Over the next month, please look for more information as to how you can support the capital campaign. The campaign is structured to meet your financial needs and we look forward to your support. Thank you for your loyalty to the Theta Theta Chapter of Sigma Chi. In hoc, David Train '84 House Corporation President dtrain@ckgppw.com | (248) 640-7657
