Alpha-Delta – A Bond Unbroken

Thoughts on Why We Give

“When I meet a brother, unseen or without contact over many years, the connection is still felt.”

Have you ever asked yourself why you give-if you give, that is? If the statisticians are right, only one brother in ten is likely to give back regularly once they put on their cap and gown.

There are lots of good reasons to give, of course. Do you believe in affording the next generation of young men the same experience you had with Alpha-Delta? Maybe something good happened to you just by being together in that house, sharing those experiences that helped make you who you are now.
