Brother Saunders said these work projects not only allow the chapter to raise more money for the chapter house, but they also get to build their relationships with alumni in the area.
“I definitely think it brings us closer to alumni, because we're there with them, talking with them and helping them out, so it keeps a good connection,” Brother Saunders said.
He also said that he the alumni also visit more often, especially during football season. Alumni often help out the brothers while they are visiting as well such as bringing items they need like plates or firewood.
Several alumni also gave checks that the alumni chapter put toward repairs for the chapter house like resealing their driveway, redoing the wood floors in the house and repainting the interior.
Brother Saunders said the chapter brothers enjoy doing the work projects because they get to hang out together with alumni, while also making money for the chapter house.
