The Future of Alpha Beta Starts with You—Make a Lasting Impact by Donating!
S
ince the Alpha Beta Centennial—Celebrating Our Past, Securing Our
Future capital campaign was publicly announced in March 2016, we
have been inspired by our sisters who are living out the Alpha Chi Omega
Symphony. As a result of your gifts received, we have raised $625,694.
With nearly 11% participation to date, we can only imagine what will be
accomplished as more sisters join our efforts to reach our $1 million goal.
Together we can provide safety and a competitive advantage to the Alpha
Beta Chapter. The Symphony of Alpha Chi Omega guided us as col-
legians, and it continues to bind us today—no matter which Alpha Beta
house you called home. It is our shared character, principles, and values
that are making it possible for us to create a current Alpha Beta Chapter
house that is beautiful in appearance.
The pride and connection we all feel toward Alpha Beta will undoubtedly pull
us together to raise $1 million—a sum necessary to not just reach our goal but
to complete our three-phased project by the centennial in fall of 2018.
The chapter house will be busy this summer as we commence phase 2
renovations to the main level. Plans are in place to update the foyer and
dining area, add windows to the back wall of the dining room for views
of the golf course, condense the mail room, and install new flooring in the
foyer. Plans to complete the rest of our project, including a library exten-
sion and a few other projects, will be scheduled for summer 2018 and are
dependent on dollars raised by that date.
We hope as you look back and recall your best ACW memories with your
sisters, you will want to become a part of this movement. Please use the
enclosed pledge card to make your commitment today or donate online at
www.axo.kintera.org/AlphaBetaCampaign. To those who have already
given, thank you! Please consider seeking out a sister whose name you do
not see on the donor list and ask her to join you in supporting Alpha Beta.
While we are so grateful to the 186 donors, we look to those who have
already given to help inspire those who have yet to participate.
Loyally,

To see beauty even in the common things of life, to
shed the light of love and friendship round me.
And to let my lyre send forth the chord of love,
unselfishness, sincerity.
