The Capital Campaign continued to serve as a crucial lifeline of support for the active chapter. Thanks to the immense generosity of 81 alumni, actives, and friends, we raised $69,164 during our fiscal year ending May 31, 2026. Individual donation sizes ranged from $10 to $15,000. The full 2025-2026 Donor Roll is later in the newsletter. We are deeply grateful to everyone who answered the call! You gave the Delta chapter a fighting chance, the actives capitalized on it with tremendous recruitment results for a second year in a row, and our chapter remains financially sound.
Capital Sustainment and Active Chapter Support
As the Delta chapter consolidates its recent gains, we need you to stick with us to position the chapter for long-term financial stability. Both our recruitment success and the responsible operation of 125 Chancellor Street would not be possible without alumni financial support. Every dollar raised through the Capital Campaign helps the actives pay for recruiting, social events, and housing costs.
If we are to cement ATΩ’s place as a top tier fraternity at UVA, we must sustain the culture of alumni giving that we have fostered over the last decade. In the past, the house maintained thin operating reserves and had to frequently issue emergency appeals to pay for mission-critical repairs. Other maintenance issues were often allowed to fester, as we lacked proper funds to address them in a timely manner. We cannot go back to those days. As we plan for the Delta chapter’s future, we are counting on a healthy partnership between the actives and our alumni to ensure the fraternity remains well-functioning and financially sound.
We encourage everyone to choose a donation amount that they can comfortably afford and make it routine. Automatic monthly donations are an excellent way to “set it and forget it.” These monthly contributions currently yield approximately $3,250 per month, while also providing much-needed visibility on future donations. Most of our monthly donors are contributing $20-50 per month. We need more alumni to sign up for this! There must be more guys in our alumni base who can contribute at that level. Please consider it—we need you to be part of this effort!
