446 Anderson Street Sees $1.3 Million in
Upgrades, Wins Chapter House of the Year
FALL 2015
A
t this summer's Emerging Leaders Institute on the Miami
University campus, Indiana Zeta once again received
recognition for the work of undergraduates, staff, and volunteers.
In addition to the Chapter's citations, our home was named Chapter
House of the Year!
Hearing this is great news for all of the generous alumni who have
trusted the House Corporation and undergraduates. As we have
made more than $1.3 million in upgrades over the past few years,
you should be proud that your Chapter continues to be recognized.
The Phi Delts have returned to the DePauw campus for the fall and
are optimistic about another great year. There was,
however, little rest at 446 Anderson Street over
the past few months as upgrades and routine
maintenance took place.
To remain competitive and provide greater
comfort to the members and staff alike, air
conditioning was added to the kitchen and
dining room. We hope to move into other areas
of the Chapter House to reduce the need for
an aging boiler as well as eliminate window air
conditioning units. Only then can we address adding
more historic-looking windows to the original house—especially
those facing Anderson Street.
The last bathroom to see upgrades was also remodeled. As the new
addition is now 53 years old, that head needed much work. All-new
epoxy-composite poured flooring and shower walls replaced the cracked
and stained tile. All-new commodes and urinals with auto flushing were
added. Now the men have three floors of clean, modern restrooms.
Our basement bum room—what most know as the old Chapter
room—had new floors and fresh paint applied. Of a more pedestrian
nature, the 90-year-old, cracked sidewalk in front was also replaced.
Indiana Zeta never rests. We thank each of you for your support in
retaining our competitive position on campus for generations to come.
Yours in the Bond,
