Wow, those are some huge numbers....I'd be interesting to read more about that. I did read though on Phi Psi's website that they have $20,000,000 - closely followed by Sigma Chi, SAE and SPE.....and Phi Psi say's they're the richest....so I am not sure where the 50+ and 65 million came from...but again, I'd be interesting to read more about that.

Hi guys...

I suspect that the difference in asset numbers, etc. is in how each fraternity accounts, and what it considers assets.

I believe that the number NebraskaDelt has given includes fraternity owned (or partially owned) housing.

I believe that the Education Foundation, which is the fund raising arm, now has somewhere between $15 and 20 million -- but that is probably broken up into cash and gifts left in insurance, trusts, etc.

Those may be tough figures for we laymen to figure out.

UT_PhiPsi · #8 10-31-2005, 06:33 PM

Yeah, the number that I posted is what I've been told is everything...Endowment Fund, housing, our new HQ building, all that stuff. Our Endowment Fund currently has just over $24 million in liquid assets. More is locked up in investments, etc...at least that's what I'm told.
