Dear Brothers:
The Alpha Gamma Chapter of Delta Sigma Phi has
been a vibrant and important part of the Georgia
Tech community for over 95 years. Over this time
period, more than 1,400 young men have been initiated
into our brotherhood. The chapter today is thriving, with
more than 60 active brothers and an extensive track record
of strong academic achievement, campus leadership, and
philanthropic involvement. Regardless of generation,
for the vast majority of us, the undergraduate fraternity
experience was a formative period in our lives when we
forged lasting friendships, grew our social skills, learned
how to think and behave like a Tech Man, and developed
an appreciation and tolerance for the perspectives of
others. In many ways, the Delta Sigma Phi experience
established the foundation upon which we have built our
careers and personal lives.
The investment and generosity of our predecessors
afforded each of us the Delta Sigma Phi opportunity
from which we benefited. As our hundredth anniversary
at Georgia Tech approaches, it is now our turn to invest—
to provide the same opportunity to future generations of
Tech Men that was presented to us. With that in mind,
we look to replace our current chapter house at 165
Fourth Street with a facility that will help secure a future completed Quiet Phase have obtained donations and
legacy that befits the rich heritage of our chapter.
Since 1954, our fraternity house (“the House”) has
served as the hub of activity for both our active brothers
and visiting alumni. Within this structure, countless
brothers have navigated the rigors of Georgia Tech
academics, developed as leaders, grown as men, and—
most importantly—forged lifelong bonds of brotherhood.
No doubt the House has served us well and is a source
of memories that will never fade. Today, however, after
more than 62 years of loyal service, the House is no
longer competitive with the surrounding Georgia Tech
facilities and the campus fraternity house standard. The
explosion of new dormitories, academic buildings, and
other facilities on campus is nothing short of remarkable.
This includes fraternity houses, of which 16 out of 25
have been fully renovated or rebuilt over the past 20
years. Given the accelerating physical deterioration of
the House, it is not reasonable to believe that, within
the current structure, our chapter can continue to
recruit against the other leading fraternities and student
organizations on campus. By investing in the building of
a new house, we will provide our chapter access to the
safe, suitable and competitive living, dining, educational,
and social facilities that it requires to continue to flourish. Alpha Gamma Chapter
The purpose of this campaign, Celebrating Our First
Century . . . Building Our Foundation for the Next, is
to raise the funds necessary to move forward with the
building of a new chapter house. The new house will
provide living quarters for 42 brothers, as well as a large
chapter room, study rooms, a full-service dining facility,
and common rooms. All will serve as a source of pride
and fellowship for our brothers, both undergraduate and
alumni, for years to come.
To secure the financial viability of the new house, the
campaign needs to raise at least $1.6M. We are pleased to
report that to date the annual campaign and the recently
commitments totaling $1.22M. Thank you to those that
have already committed to this campaign. For those
that have not yet, we humbly ask that every brother,
parent, alumnus and friend of Delta Sigma Phi consider
making a five-year pledge. Your commitment will make a
difference. Now is the time!
