“Welcome
to the Jungle It's Not a Boar!” DDPi
Hog roast 2011 Deltapiloosa at Homecoming
2010 was a huge success. We had
a record attendance year of well over 100.
We will be repeating some of the popular events from last year and
spicing up some new ones. The
infamous Fraternal 1987 “Red Shoes” rock band did reunite and there was a
documentary film shot over last HC that has won 4 film awards thus far.
Click TRAILER
to watch it on YouTube. There will
be screenings at DDPi over HC and
DVD’s sold as a Fraternal fundraiser. There
have been many improvements to the Fraternity House over the past year.
The basement entrance has been completely redone for added security.
Many upgrades have continued in the resident area in order to make
those rooms and the common spaces more appealing as well as a stable rental
income source. The students are
planning some interior painting projects on the first floor to be completed
before HC. The house is looking
really good over all. We
recently had an inspection from the insurance company and passed except a
citation for “uneven” & “crumbling” walkway; referring to cracks
and holes in the back concrete driveway as a potential serious trip hazard.
We have to bring this up to code ASAP. They wanted it done in 30 days,
but I have negotiated an extension from the underwriter.
Estimates are ranging from $3,900 to $4900+ . Unfortunately, this is
not a “sweat equity” project as this complex tear out and re-pour requires
professionals in this industry. For
those not familiar, this same driveway abuts the house all along the kitchen
wall and the pool room raised floor is build on top of it (pool room was
previously a drive thru portico). We
need dues paid and donations contributed ASAP as we would like to raise the
money to get this done BEFORE HC if at all possible.
Any payment amount will help, even $25 or $50 will help us get closer
to our goal. Please pay your dues or contribute to one of our improvement projects. Any suggestions are appreciated. E-mail suggestions to channing@bolickclinic.com . 407-629-5333.

Homecoming 2010....A Good Time For ALL..... Phase 2 of Window Replacement Needs Donations We completed Phase One of
the window replacement project in October 2006.
We have completely replaced all the windows in the Chapter Room and the
Downstairs Kitchen. We replaced
most of the windows in the Bar Room, but have not raised enough money to
replace the last two. The windows
we have installed are stained inside at the factory to match the Victorian
wood trim. We are asking that
alumni donate to the general project or donate for the replacement cost of a
window(s). The cost for the three
windows in the technique room that
need replacement is $1,025 per window or $3,075 to complete the entire room.
Two remaining windows in the Bar Room are $920 each to replace for a
total of $1,840 needed to complete that room.
The bottom of the priority list , $2,900 is needed in total to replace
all four various sized windows in the game room and $1,500 is needed in total
to replace both of the windows in the upstairs kitchen.
There are no other major improvements needed at this time other than
the bricks in the basement need “tuck pointing” especially on the
wall that faces the Sorority. We
are getting bids. The house is
otherwise in good repair. Let’s
make 2011 the year we complete the windows project. House Financial Update The house is stable
financially. We have zero debt and
all taxes and bills are current. Provided
the students have around 30 dues
paying members and all 4 rooms rented meets their minimum operating budget.
Until a viable fundraiser that can make a more than $100 per event is
found, then the students remain dependent on alumni donations for any major
repairs, upgrades, or emergencies. The
house is in a general good state of repair, but as with any “old” house
ongoing maintenance and improvements are necessary.
The general rule of thumb for yearly maintenance and repairs for any
house is 5% of the value. It our
case it would be approx $12,500 annually.
Considering this is a college student occupied house and not a private
residence, then potentially more. This
house was built in 1892 and needs ongoing maintenance
and repairs just like any other property.
Your financial support is needed. Please consider helping make this
best Homecoming ever. Student Update The house is stable financially. We have zero debt and all taxes and bills are current.

A pledge getting drinks for the Alumni. Fraternity
is Debt Free & 40 Year Anniversary Recap
We
had a very nice Alumni turnout for At
the meeting we were able to raise the funds necessary to pay off the remaining
money owed to We
are still working on raising the money to finish replacing some of the
original 1892 windows in the downstairs. There
are a few other minor repairs (mostly cosmetic and been this way for years) in
the upstairs common areas that the students would like repaired.
We have encouraged them to do fundraising to address these. The
students have done a number of fundraisers recently such as selling flower
bulbs, Little Caesar's Pizza kits, and of course bake sales on campus.
They have also approached local businesses to donate to the Fraternity.
While all of these actions have been profitable, the students still
seem to struggle with raising extra money beyond their minimal bills.
This has shifted most, if not all of the repairs of the house on to the
Alumni Association. Alumni dues
are becoming more and more important to maintaining the House.
So please donate to this worthy cause.
Some of you might think, just let the students raise the money.
In order for the students to cover general House repairs a fundraiser
that is capable of generating more than a few hundred dollars is needed.
Please contact the Alumni Assn. with ideas.
Any donation amount is appreciated.
