Seeking to fund as much of the home as possible through private donations, Josh Callahan, chapter advisor, has been working with the FHSU Foundation in reaching out to alumni, as well as others who are interested in the project. To date, approximately $500,000 has been raised from alumni donations and pledges to support housing scholarships for students.<\/p>\n

Until additional fundraising is complete, the remaining amount needed to build the home will be financed via a local bank and the Sigma Chi National Foundation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe new home should be completed in early October and will house 24 to 32 men,\u201d said Callahan. \u201cSigma Chi has a long history at Fort Hays State University \u2013 going back more than 50 consecutive years with 600-plus alumni.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it is a great sign that they are building a new home for their undergraduate members,\u201d said Dr. Teresa Clounch, assistant vice president for student affairs at Fort Hays State.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a sign of sustainability and growth for the FHSU fraternity and sorority community,\u201d she said. \u201cIt is important to celebrate what our students and organizations are doing.\u201d For additional information regarding the new Sigma Chi fraternity home at Fort Hays State, please contact the FHSU Foundation at 785-628-5620 or foundation@fhsu.edu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
