Pi Sigma Chi – Sigma Nu

Big Picture: We need funds to operate our alumni activities, and funds to add to to our scholarship fund, but we also need funds for our permanent home--located at 250 E Holt Avenue in Pomona, a home we occupied for many years, a home we have returned to in 2026, a home for the future.

Creation of A Housing Specific Nonprofit: Times have changed. 20-year old students cannot easily go out and rent a large house today that will be the Kappa Gamma house for years to come. And actives are only around for a few years, with a new Commander every year. Therefore, Sigma Nu Educational Foundation, which can help with financing and grants for a house, wisely looks to established alumni groups to own or lease and oversee a house for the chapter. So in preparation for finding Kappa Gamma a house, in 2024 we formed a totally separate nonprofit corporation, Sigma Nu Fraternity-Kappa Gamma Housing, Inc. (referred to as "Housing, Inc."), dedicated to helping to provide a house for the Kappa Gamma Chapter.  That nonprofit corporation is separate, but uses our alumni website to raise money for that purpose and that purpose only.  

Plans: Housing, Inc. has leased the house and it is almost fully occupied. Rent from actives covers the lease payments and expenses. But a purchas will save money for everyone, and be an investment that will go up in value as we improve the property. 

Our Existing Fund is a Great Start: The good news is that the Housing nonprofit has a substantial nest egg, but we need much more to purchase the house. To someday own a house, the nest egg left over from 30 years ago has to grow. It has done so over those years by being professionally invested, but it needs your support--donations during an annual campaign, or donations anytime, or bequests you can make as part of your estate planning. All of those will help to grow the Housing Fund to the point that Kappa Gamma might someday have a permanent house owned and managed by alumni through Housing, Inc.

Donation Options: Every Brother who donates will be recognized and any amount is appreciated.  Your engagement is more important than the number of dollars.  But for those of you who can, we ask that you consider donating yearly--at the "White Rose" level for $100 per year, or the "Red Carnation" level for $200 per year, or for one-time or pledged donations for more years and/or much larger amounts. For those of you who can make that kind of commitment, there will be opportunities ranging from naming rooms in honor of yourself or another person to having a permanent plaque in the house bearing your name. 

Tax Info:  Please note that donations for our housing fund are NOT TAX DEDUCTIBLE as charitable contributions.
