winter and summer breaks as donations are received. Bathrooms are
next, followed by the bedrooms and the kitchen. At that stage, the entire
interior of the house will be fully renovated.
To the annual donors who have not yet joined our capital campaign, and
to the rest of our alumni who have watched us transform your alumni
association, active chapter, and begin to restore our chapter house,
please join the 147 alumni who have already made their pledges and
initial donations. We are close to the goal we set over a decade ago.
Please help push us across the finish line.
Yours in the Bonds,

nitially, John Reinhardt '94 (A1358) didn't picture himself as a
fraternity man. As a member of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
soccer team, his tight schedule kept him away from formal recruitment.
However, his teammate Chris Riismandel '95 (A1356) quickly changed
his mind. After practices and games, Chris would bring John over to the
chapter house for a meal. While they missed dinner time, Renzo DeMeo
'92 (A1327) would always save the two a plate.
"Without the chaos of formal rush events, I got to witness the real
brotherhood. Seeing such a well-rounded group of individuals was
inspiring," John says. "Excellence in academics, athletics, social events,
and philanthropy—all I can say is that I'm glad they felt I should be given
the chance to be a part of it."
