The Indiana Delta of Pi Beta Phi Chapter House at Purdue University has always been an environment that fosters academic excellence; however, study space and academic needs have changed. To remain academically competitive, they must address the needs of today’s student by replacing the more than 50-year-old study room furniture. Additionally, the study rooms only have four outlets each and, with an increased dependence on electronics, we must put in new wiring. Upgraded study rooms and a focus on academic space in the Chapter House will ensure that Indiana Deltas remain scholastic leaders on campus through a capital fundraising campaign.
