Gamma Upsilon's New House
 

I just spoke with one of the Advisors from Gamma Upsilons (UNT). They are doing their fundraising for the new house that will be ready this fall. It is tax decutible.

Would any of you like to donate? PM and I'll tell you where to send your checks. Any amount helps :)

I'm in for $100!!! Go Gamma U!!

Okay ladies!! I know you aren't all GU members, but you are all Sisters. :) Gamma upsilon is doing a Brick Drive for their new house. Since ADPI will have the first house on sorority row to be finished, we are pushing some major deadlines.

IF you are interested in supporting GU with this endeavor, the bricks are selling for $100 each. You can have 3 lines with up to 17 characters on each line engraved with a message from you.

Some are doing this in memory of sisters, others are writing messages to the chapter, others just want their alpha class or their own name remembered in the years to come.

This is a great way to support a local chapter. We are taking cash, check and even credit cards. I would love to see some GC sisters buy some bricks. It would be an awesome way to support GU!!!

Is there a payment plan option? I know that may sound lame b/c $100 really isn't that much, but I'd have to spread it out over a couple of months.

I'll ask. We might be able to work something out. I'd love to have you help :)

Maybe we could arrange a GreekChat brick?

Another suggestion would be for Gamma Upsilon to ask each chapter to purchase a brick - if that's allowed (I'm not sure).

A GC Brick would be awesome. I just have very limited time to make all this happen. (like 2 weeks) So, I dont think asking the chapters to buy a brick would work. But if y'all want to do a GC brick, I'm taking donations and suggestions.

I'd love to donate, but I won't have any money until close to the middle of next month, and even then it wouldn't be enough to do an entire brick on my own :(

Ladies, I could send Sherra the $100 (as I happen to have it right now) IF you'd like to PM me how much you'd like to donate towards it. If I get PMs that total $70 or more, I'll send the $100.

But we have to do this quickly!!!!

Also, if you have ideas for the 3 lines of engraving/17 letters each, let me know.

?????????

wowie

I didn't know we only had 2 weeks :(

Yes only two weeks!! I know it is tight and quick but that is unfortunately how it works for ADPi to be the first house finished. :)


I'm good for another $20 honey. :)

Honey, I'll send some- I'll PM you!
L&L,
WLFEO

Don't forget to mention what you'd like to have written. Once we raise the money, we'll have a vote on all the suggestions for the brick.

Oh, and to the person who PM'd "brick" - check your PMs!!

Honey- What's the status on our fundraising for this?

Our GreekChat total pledge is $75 thus far!

What's our deadline, exactly?

Monday the 29th. I need the info and the money. I do take paypal so that might make it easier. :)

Here are the suggestions thus far:

We DO need to come to an agreement on one of the above ASAP!! Please speak up, either here or by PMing me!!

I modified slightly. I like this one!

I really like this one....maybe I'm weird, but I don't really like the idea of using a web address in a brick. Does that make sense?

im from the gamma upsilon chapter, so awesome that y'all are contributing!
we have a donation button on our website (orgs.unt.edu/ADP) if you want to pass that along.
but im confused, because i was under the impression the bricks are $50.

Maybe we're paying for the really big bricks?

Welcome to GreekChat, lyrica9!! Please take a moment & read the Forum Guidelines when you get a chance!

YAY lyrica welcome!! I hope to meet you Friday at initiation!!

When i spoke with my Diamond sister, Jennifer McClendon, the housing Corp president, she said they were $100 a piece. I have a meeting with her Friday for lunch, but this was just last Friday we spoke. They might be making exceptions for girls within the chapter, but not that I'm aware of. :)

Thanks for that link. I bet that helps pay dues!!!

Okay, I just got the final word. Jennifer, HC president said the following:

"Yes! The bricks are $100 and the deadline is not until April 23rd - thank God!"

Hey Katie!!

(it's Arnette) At the end of the fall semester we were told the bricks were going to be $50, but it was later changed to be $100.

That's probably why you thought they were $50. Up until a couple weeks ago, I was under the impression they were $50 as well.

I don't know why not, but if you're opposed to it why not change it to this?

Or something?

Came up with another one...

Sherra, when would you like the money, then? I have a check in the mail, but maybe we can go for a second brick?

Heidi, I love this one! :)

I think the reason that I don't really like the web address in the brick is the idea of it taking up *extra* characters....I'm weird like that :D I don't mind saying anything about Greekchat, which I think we should, but by using the name Greekchat as part of our message gets the idea accross without using the web address.

Lets set the deadline for april 15th. That is a week before the due date. I'd love to try for another brick. That might give more ladies a chance to participate. :)

Ok, so are we all sending our $$ to Honeychile????

Skerbow, I emailed my alumnae association officers & we're going to send money as well. But I'm not sure how much- it might not be enough to get a brick, but I told them something is better than nothing.

Boy, I hope some people are sending me money!! I put a check in the mail to Sherra yesterday!! :eek:

awesome ladies!!!!

Did we ever reach a decision on the engraving??

Unless there's a marvelous new one added that everyone loves, let's stick with these choices, and these ONLY!

Voting will close on April 10th!!

My vote's for # 5....Honey, I'll get the check out to you probably within the next week or so....just waiting on my *allowance* to come in :p

5

this is kinda related, but a lot of the Alpha classes currently still active in the chapter are all chipping in to get bricks to have their Alpha class represented!

Also a lot of active sisters are sharing bricks... like me and my roomie for example are both going to share one, it's going to have our names, and something cute and corny like "Sisters by Chance; Friends by Choice" or something like that... hehehe

Okay, so far there are only two votes...and they are for #5. Unless someone else votes, the GC brick will read
