Sigma Chi Capital Campaigns

Searching through some capital campaigns I found a great deal of excellent material. While we have decided to not go with a company, Tony and I will be running the campaign. We are very excited and I think the brothers are happier seeing some money go to people who are very committed to the cause. Here are a couple of great Sig sites. I found tonnes more, but this was our starting block:

If you know of any great ones from any chapter or other organization pass them on as we are looking for great material to use for the chapter. Overall, if we can pay off short term debt, the mortgage and do $80,000 worth of repairs to the house, I would be ecstatic. Even better would be to build a renewable scholarship fund, leadership training funds, reduce the cost of living in the house as a recruitment tool and create future capital funds, that would be amazing.

The Fraternity does so much for so many people these days with friendships, learning, networking, business, job searches, community involvement and leadership development, it is a shame to lose good people who have not seen that side of the chapter. Also, it is key that older alumni get a sense of what they had when they were in school and get back to the chapter. It is amazing how it revitalizes you and brings back the spirit of youth. Here's to Great Success!
