November 5th 12:30 a.m. We are ending our soft sell, word of mouth, arm twisting fund raising. We are now beginning the general alumni solicitation. This is a once in a lifetime request for funds. We would like to use your name and donation level when soliciting other unsuspecting Brothers. We have pledges for $1,500,054. We need more. At fi rst glance, one could say that this may not be the most worthy cause. This is correct! Sketch The New Texas Delta Chapter House Pre-Construction It is not, but it is fun to do and worthwhile. Here is why: The city of University Park will not allow our University to build any new buildings without incremental parking spaces. The best location for these incremental parking spaces is where the Lambda Chi House, SAE House, and Letterman Hall now stand. In a way, SAE and Lambda Chi hold the “Keys to the Kingdom” and have agreed to help SMU by relocating on Dyer Street, down from the old ATO House and behind both the Kappa Sigma and KA Houses. In return, SAE is now able to build a new house that will hold 46 men, have 12 single rooms, and 17 doubles, all with private bathrooms, a library, and media center. Construction is almost complete. The Texas Delta Chapter House Nearing Completion 10/13/05 The relocation of these houses makes room for a three story, 850 car parking garage.
