It has been 18 months since over 300 Phis gathered in Charlottesville to celebrate the 150th anniversary of our founding at UVA. To date, the Phi 150th Anniversary Fund has received pledges in excess of $380,000 with over 88% of those pledges already received. Five Brothers have made $25,000 pledges and an additional 17 have pledged $5,000 or more! As mentioned at the gala, it is the organizing committee’s hope that all brothers will make a gift that is meaningful to them at any level. The Phi House is at its best when we are all in it together.
As outlined in the fall edition of The Phiner Times, we have made significant improvements to the house which will help ensure that One University Circle continues to serve as the epicenter of fraternal life for many years to come. However, there is still much more we would like to accomplish. At this point, we have four significant projects left on our ”to-do” list:
- Building a new, expanded front porch
- Replace all exterior entry doors and wood shutters
- Updating the landscaping and hardscaping in both the front and back yards
- Paying off the balance of the variable rate mortgage at One University Circle.
Thank you to everyone who has already made a gift, and we look forward to hearing from all of you as we continue forward with this ambitious effort. Please reach out to Mike Melley (Col ’92) at mikemelley@gmail.com to discuss further.
