Through careful study, assessment, and planning, the Alpha Gamma alumni leadership has developed a capital campaign and renovation plan to address the long-term viability of the Kappa Sigma chapter house at the University of Illinois. Our goal is to restore our historic house to provide a safe and competitive environment while maintaining our heritage at 212 E. Daniel. The renovation plan will provide a competitive and attractive chapter house that retains the historical beauty and charm of our campus home. By adding six rooms in the third-floor dorm, we will have approximately 32 individual sleeping rooms. Nine or more of these rooms will be oversized and could easily accommodate two brothers, bringing our house capacity to 41.
