Gamma Kappa House Renovation Capital Campaign
Join Us in Building the Future of Gamma Kappa
We’re excited to share this important initiative with our alumni network. This year marks 53 years since our fraternity house became the cornerstone of our brotherhood, and we’re reaching out to ensure it remains a place where future generations of Theta Chi brothers can create lasting memories.
Why This Matters
For the first time in our chapter’s history, we are embarking on a bold new journey to raise funds to renovate and expand our beloved chapter house at 310 N. Bishop. This isn’t just about bricks and mortar—it’s about preserving the legacy of Gamma Kappa and ensuring that it continues to provide a strong foundation for brotherhood, leadership, and personal growth for years to come.
The funds raised will be directly invested into modernizing our house, expanding living spaces, and enhancing the overall experience for future brothers. Our goal is to ensure that the next generation enjoys the same, if not better, experiences that we shared during our time at Miami University.
What We’re Aiming to Accomplish
· Renovate and modernize the chapter house to keep us competitive in the Greek system at Miami University
· Build an addition to expand living and common spaces, making the house a more versatile and welcoming environment
· Establish a Long-Term Maintenance Fund to guarantee the house remains in excellent condition for years to come
· Create scholarship funds to help future brothers excel academically and support leadership development initiatives
How You Can Help
This campaign is a collective effort, and we need the support of our alumni to bring this vision to life. As proud members of the Capital Campaign Steering Committee, we’re reaching out to ensure our network is engaged, informed, and involved in this once-in-a-lifetime effort. Your participation—whether through a financial contribution or by spreading the word—will make a significant impact.
Named Gift Opportunities, Dedicated Patio Brick, Donor Recognition
To make this campaign even more special, we’re offering alumni the chance to leave a lasting mark on Gamma Kappa. Named Gift Opportunities allow you to associate your contribution with specific parts of the house, including individual rooms, common areas, and more. There’s also an opportunity to dedicate a brick on the patio (your name or “In Memory of” or “In Honor of” a Brother or alumnus). Details to follow.
Ways to Give
The most common types of gifts in a Greek campaign are checks/cash and appreciated securities, but we want to ensure that other types of gifts may be accepted. These potentially include:
· Contributions by Credit Card
·Gifts from an IRA*
·Gifts from a Donor Advised Fund (DAF)/estate Gifts/Gifts by Will*
·Gifts of Closely Held Securities*
· Gifts of Tangible Property*
