Sigma Pi - Eastern Illinois University

BETA-GAMMA CHAPTER OF SIGMA PI PAGE 6 INVESTING IN OUR FUTURE O ur investment in the future of Beta-Gamma will ensure the success of our Chapter and will promote a legacy upon which to build an even greater Brotherhood. Today, perhaps more than ever, college fraternities play a relevant role in shaping the lives of young men. Sigma Pi provides a small-group living environment that offers our members a solid foundation for their education. It also affords opportunities for high academic achievement and the development of leadership and social skills. The undergraduate men have made a commitment to work hard in maintaining the programs and traditions that have benefited the lives of so many Sigma Pi members over the years. Together with our active members, the volunteer leadership of the Central Illinois Alumni Association is committed to this major undertaking, which will allow us to renovate our Chapter House and compete with other fraternities and housing options in Charleston. To ensure support from the current undergraduate members, each initiate, beginning in 2018, will be required to sign a $500 promissory note. It will be payable within five years after graduation. These funds will be placed into a reserve fund to maintain the Chapter House. This stage of our project requires assistance from a highly selective group of alumni—like you. We are working to identify brothers who have both the ability and interest to provide major assistance to the project. Remember that each of us benefited from the generosity, work, and sacrifice of those who went before us. We all enjoyed the comfort and Brotherhood Beta-Gamma provided during our years at Eastern Illinois University. Now it is our turn to support Beta-Gamma and ensure that the same, wonderful experience is available to others. We urge your thoughtful consideration of this plan. With your support, Sigma Pi will continue to provide a quality living environment that supports, nurtures, and develops outstanding young men with the skills and confidence to face an ever-changing world. The commitment we make today cannot be underestimated—it will have a far-reaching effect on the lives of our Beta-Gamma brothers for years to come.
