Outstanding leadership is necessary to obtain outstanding results. Leaders must be found to generously contribute time as well as money.

Ongoing Entities
Undergraduate Chapter
The reason that all of this takes place. It is important for alumni to stay in the middle ground between forgetting the undergraduates exist and attempting to relive their youth and run the fraternity again.

Advisory Board / Committee
This may be a single advisor working with regional and national/international headquarters. It also may be a full advisory committee of volunteer alumni. In any case, it should only have ex-officio connections to the House Corporation.

House Corporation
Owns or master leases the house and land, and the board oversees property management and fund raising. They are the stewards of the facility.

Educational Foundation
Unless you can set up a restricted fund with your school’s foundation or your national/international foundation, you should set up your own foundation in order to solicit tax-deductible contributions for valid educational purposes.

Fund Raising Campaign Leadership
The campaign must be led by alumni covering all eras. They should also be from a variety of locations across the country.

As much as 80% of gifts will come from as few as 20% of alumni.

Financial leadership is absolutely key to success.
