Opportunities for Participation

The success of our Capital Campaign depends on significant gifts from across our alumni base. We trust that each of our brothers will participate at a level consistent with his capability. Clearly we have a tremendous amount of work in front of us in order to keep the house and the brotherhood competitive at Penn State. We know that no single brother could or should do this on his own and that’s is why we are asking for the involvement of every alum on whatever level you can contribute.

We have 876 living alumni and if we all give what we can, we will be able to accomplish everything we have outlined.

Below is a giving plan based on a 3 year pledge that shows how we can achieve our goals.
