As an active, I realized the house did not take care of itself and I am fortunate to have lived at 2515 Leon during a time when Lowell Lebermann, among others, provided strong support for the Fraternity, the house, and the surrounding grounds. "Sadly, the house has suffered over the years. is leads to unfavorable impressions and fewer members living at the house, which creates negative momentum for our house and our Fraternity. ankfully, the KA board took action on this problem and has created this campaign as a way for all of us to be part of the solution. I am grateful for the opportunity to give back to the chapter and the house and carry on the generous example Lowell and others have set for us." – Michael Dike '89
