The Alpha Epsilon of Chi Psi Re-Founding Capital Campaign

Thank you to all the Brothers who contributed to The Alpha Epsilon of Chi Psi Re-Founding Capital Campaign. Because of the generosity of our alumni, the Capital Campaign Committee surpassed our original goal and raised $2.2 Million in alumni donations and pledge commitments. With your support:

  • We have successfully re-founded Chi Psi at the University of Michigan as of Fall 2022.
  • Lodge repairs and basement renovations are currently underway under the supervision of the Epsilon Trustee Corporation.
  • The Epsilon Educational Endowment awards substantial scholarships to support our Active Brothers each semester.

The Alpha Epsilon of Chi Psi Re-Founding Capital Campaign was originally formed with two critical areas of focus:

  • Substantial upgrades to the Lodge that maintain and enhance its historic living spaces while providing modern academic and gathering spaces, as well as much-needed upgrades to mechanical and life-safety systems, so that the Lodge can be enjoyed by both undergraduates and alumni well into the 21st Century.
  • Recapitalization of the Epsilon Educational Endowment to make the Chi Psi experience available through scholarships to Brothers for whom it is financially out of reach, and to provide ongoing financial support to the educational activities at the Lodge.

You can read more about this effort, which culminated at the October 2022 Re-Founding Celebration event, in our Campaign Brochure linked here.
