2007 Centennial Society
2007 CENTENNIAL SOCIETY FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.
What is an unrestricted gift?
The Foundation currently administers special endowed funds for chapter-specific scholarships,
general scholarships, etc. Individual gifts made specifically to one of these established
funds is considered a restricted gift. Such gifts, while certainly appreciated, will count
towards other giving recognition levels, but not towards Society membership. All other
gifts are considered unrestricted and will count towards all giving recognition levels,
including Society membership.
What impact does the Society have on all the other current giving recognition levels
(annual and cumulative) of the Foundation?
The annual and cumulative giving levels used by the Foundation will continue. The 2007
Centennial Society is a special limited-time program developed as part of the overall
Centennial celebration. We encourage all brothers to continue (and increase where possible)
their annual giving to support our Fraternity.
Can chapters be members of the Society?
Yes, any collegiate or alumni chapter providing an unrestricted gift of $2007 during the
measurement period (7/1/03 - 6/30/08) will be granted membership in the Society. The gifts
must come from the chapter. Individual members' checks will count towards their own
potential membership and not the chapter's.
Will matching gifts from someone's employer count towards the individual's membership in
the Society?
Yes, as long as the matching gift is also unrestricted.
My spouse and I are both Brothers. Can we both be members of the Society?
Yes. Unlike our other recognition programs, however, both brothers must each contribute
$2007 in unrestricted gifts during the measurement period to become Society members.
