Bros, I’d like to apologize for the distinct lack of content recently. However, I’ll do my best to keep the site steadily updated and try to get some these other bums to pitch in.

In the meantime, I’d like to ask our alumni to help us out. As many of you know, we are currently without an off campus house. We  are living it up with Kieffer House on College Ave, but seeing as this is a college-owned house, there are many restrictions to our lifestyle that coincide with the house. Moreover, we’ve recently been placed under double secret probation by the administration, so it will be a decidedly less awesome house this semester and next.

I hope that you distinguished gentlemen can symphathize  with our plight in this regard and could see it in your hearts to make a donation to the organization.We have been seeking off-campus housing, but currently have found nothing within reasonable distance that is for rent. However, there are several houses for sale and several forclosed houses that are worth looking into with increased funds. Needless to say, the actual purchase of a house would require some serious capital, but would be an incredible asset to the organization, which would yield immeasurable benefits for years to come. If that is a pursuit that you would like to help us with, we would greatly appreciate it. Undoubtedly, being the scholars you all are, you have been saving for a time such as this.

Who knows, maybe you could even get a room, or an entire house, named after you. Other rewards to be considered include pledges writing poems for your girlfriend, naming pledges, picking themes for parties, and guest pledging appearances in the basement via Skype calls hooked up to the speakers.

I’d like to clarify, though, that this is not only a request for donations towards a new house. We have long been considering putting this together, and I personally envision a fund that could be used for a variety of long-term measures to support the fraternity, ranging from a dues scholarship for bros that are strapped for cash to funding for brother’s outings. At the moment though, our primary need is a house. We appreciate whatever you esteemed gentlemen bestow upon us and welcome you to specify the purpose of your donation, should you like to do so.

With Fire and Desire,

Matt Rubin
