A membership certificate such as one might frame and hang on the wall. In many fraternities, these are called "shingles."

Curious to know what you have that would back that up? Numbers, articles, hearsay...etc.?

An alum from USC and an alum from UCLA got into a fight about who could give more, and the whole Phi Psi bunch benefited.

(This is not necessarily historical fact, but makes a good story)

Its not a "fight." They are very good friends, and fellow trustees on our Endowment Fund.

They usually contribute in a very similar way. When one gets an idea, he usually leads with that idea. For example, one started our leadership school in Cabo (http://www.CaboAlpha.com/)

The other (who has a Phd in Economics) recently came up with a very complicated investment vehicle, and donated over $4 million to support it.

My understanding is that the top three are:
1) Phi Kappa Psi (almost $19 million)
2) Sigma Chi (just over $18 million)
3) Beta Theta Pi (over $13 million)

That information is 8 months old, so things could have changed.

How are you guys coming up with these numbers curiously?

I got these numbers from the Executive Director of Phi Psi's Endowment Fund. Its easy for any fraternity professional to get these numbers because they all share this information through various organizations.

Why would you say 'they' if you are speaking of your own chapter? Thats kinda wierd. Its like you are either alumni, didnt connect with your own brothers or are just phrasing it that way to make your chapter seem badass.

You dont suck. I've heard of your fraternity. If I hadn't, then you'd suck.

Phi Sig has an outstanding chapter at Florida State: large membership, strong in sports, well thought-of by sororities.
