Our Kappa Chapter renovation project has been completed! We have committed every dollar of our funds to meet life and safety requirements and to improve the infrastructure of the house (heating, lighting, plumbing and bathrooms). Alumni and friends were on hand to see the house improvements first hand during the Grand Re-Opening Party held on November 1. Click here to see pictures from the party.

The loan we obtained from Graystone Bank was acquired in large part on the basis of the pledges that have been made and the related payments that are made over the five-year pledge payment schedule. We really need the pledge payments in order to pay our contractors and to make the mortgage payments for the loan we obtained for the project. We owe the contractors at least another $100,000. If you made a commitment to the campaign and have yet to make a payment on your pledge, please contact Ellen Konkle at Affinity Connection (800-598-4050 x. 140) as soon as possible so that we can pay our contractors.

We understand that the country is facing tough economic times. But we are also at a crossroads for our historic chapter house, which has served as our home at Penn State since 1927. Show your support of this project by making a new pledge (if you have not yet made a commitment), or by making a payment on your existing pledge.
