If your chapter is listed above and re-colonizing, please consider the benefits that can be derived from your generosity into the programs of the foundation.

Foundation's High School Senior Scholarship program is designed to help out new colonies in the efforts to gain growth in new membership by encouraging high school seniors to apply for a $1000 scholarship. In doing so, the young colony receives an advantage by gaining names, contact information, and vital information about up and coming freshmen for the benefit of improving rush.

The Chapter Scholarship Account (CSA) allows potential donors to make significant gifts to their chapter’s scholastic and educational programming. CSAs are a customized program created for the betterment of the educational benefits of their chapter, such as academic scholarships and leadership training. Each chapter’s CSA can be unique in the way it helps to benefit its members by allowing the ABT or Housing Corporations to customize the program to fit the chapter/colony's needs.

The Educational - Chapter Housing Initiative (E-Chi) is an educational chapter housing program. E-Chi accounts can offset building and maintenance expenses associated with a college fraternity house. All costs associated with the “educational component” of the building can qualify for grants. Chapters wishing to build, remodel or renovate, plan for future maintenance needs, or just to reduce their mortgage balance should consider the benefits of an E-Chi account.

Rarely, do these accounts develop overnight, they take time to develop and the best time to start is now when the colony is young. Other alumni are excited about the news of the new colony as well, and the time is now to help pitch in and provide the colonies with the benefits of scholarships, leadership training and housing.

Please visit the corresponding links to these programs. The benefits you can provide to your colony is greatly increased by helping us fund these programs. For colonies that are re-colonizing, and a CSA or E-Chi account has not been already established, then give us a call. We will gladly help to answer your questions and to help you start a fundraising campaign for your colony's CSA or E-Chi account.

The fraternity's website and expansion pages has more information available.
