The article above estimates that it would take between $70,000 and $180,000 per house to install sprinkler systems.
Rounding that off on the
very low side -- let's say $100,000 -- and assuming that 100 out of 120 or so Delta Tau Delta chapters have houses, that would be a $10 Million pricetag to be raised by chapters and nationals.
I'm certainly not arguing that the houses shouldn't have sprinkler systems -- they all should -- but that's a pretty hefty amount of money. Can your organization afford that? Some chapters fail because they can't afford their mortgage or rent.
I think this is going to take some very creative thinking and financing.
