We are pleased to provide you with this quarterly campaign report and want to wish everyone a pleasant summer. As you may have heard from other Beta Phi alumni, we have made significant progress in the New House Capital Campaign this past quarter and have now successfully completed the 300 Donor Phase of the capital campaign.

Completion of  300 Donor Phase of Campaign

During the past ninety days, our fund raising efforts have resulted in approximately 150 new donors making pledges and our total campaign participation has increased to 325 donors. Thus, we have been able to exceed our 300 Donor Goal that we had established under the “skin in the game” marketing theme for this phase of the campaign.

We are particularly pleased with the number of new donors from the 1980 and 1990 decade classes as one of our critical campaign goals was to broaden our campaign support. In addition, over the past thirty days, we have received growing support from the 2000 – 2010  decade classes as well as from Sigma Chi Alumni that are living in Arizona and participating in the Tucson Sigma Chi Alumni Chapter.

Initiation of Major Gift Phase of Campaign

The Campaign Steering Committee will  be initiating the “Major Gift Phase” of the Campaign in September in order to achieve our current $3,000,000 campaign goal. The 300 Donor Phase of the campaign was focused on campaign participation and a “skin in the game” fund-raising strategy. At the current time our past fund-raising efforts have resulted in approximately $1,500,000 of pledges & donations. The “Major Gifts Phase” of the campaign will be focused on a “Major Gift” fund-raising strategy which will be coordinated by the Major Gifts Committee. We will be focused on completing the campaign in 2011 in order for the construction of the new house to begin in the first quarter of 2012. As you may recall, our plans are to have the undergraduates occupy the New House in the fall of 2013.

Our Major Gift funding objective will be to achieve $1,750,000 – $2,000,000 of new donations in order to facilitate our goal of covering the anticipated construction costs of the “New House” and  to provide additional working capital reserves. The “Major Gift Phase” strategy will be coordinated by the Campaign Steering Committte and involve a Major Gifts Committee that will be working directly with potential donors.

We want to thank everyone for their financial support. In particular we want to thank those Brothers that have assisted in the campaign fund-raising process. Our goal of preserving  the longevity of the Beta Phi Fraternity in Tucson is an important one and the construction of the “New House” is critical in achieving this objective. As we are all aware, our lease at the current house that is being occupied by the undergraduates terminates in the spring of 2012. All of us recognize what needs to be done over the next six months.

It will be very difficult for Beta Phi to compete with other fraternities without having access to a house. We have a terrific group of under-graduates, a viable Tucson Alumni Chapter and we have now achieved significant new donor participation in our campaign. We look forward to your continued support in making our campaign efforts successful and helping the undergraduates in their efforts to create and maintain a successful  Beta Phi Chapter.
