How to Donate – Voluntary Alumni Contribution (VAC) Fund
In conjunction with our 60th anniversary in 2008, ACB established the VAC Fund as a method for alumni to voluntarily contribute to the Chapter on an ongoing basis after their time as an active has ended.
$70/Month
The Beta Pi Club is the highest level of automatic monthly donation.
You help keep the cook in the kitchen, the boiler kicking out the extra heat during all-nighter, and the sauna operational so that the next generation of actives have a chance to tell similar stories of Beta Pi.
In commemoration of our 70th anniversary, Beta Pi Club members will give a gift of $70 every month ($840 per year).
Beta Pi Club Members will receive special recognition for their generous and ongoing gift.
$30/Month
For those of you who did not know Jim Jones, he was a brother of Beta Pi who passed into Bond Eternal.
Upon his passing Jim left a very generous gift to Beta Pi.
Jim Jones Club members will give a gift of $30 every month ($360 per year) in commemeration of Jim.
Jim Jones Club members will receive special recognition for their generous and ongoing gift.
$14.21/Month
You survived living at 1421.
You most likely even liked it...
Which room was yours? What did you paint on the door?
1421 Club members will give a gift of $14.21 every month ($170.52 per year) in commemeration of living in the "best location on campus".
1421 Club members will receive special recognition for their generous and ongoing gift.
One-Time Gift
Gifts, like pearls of wisdom, can cost both a great price and your time to tell its story.
When inspiration hits, we're here to hear about it.
One time gift givers will also receive recognition for their generous gifts.
One-time gifts can be processed without requireing a Paypal account.
If you still prefer to send a check, VAC will never turn you down! Please send your checks (made out to Delta Sigma Phi – Beta Pi Alumni VAC) to:
Please make your check payable to Delta Sigma Phi – Beta Pi Alumni VAC
