Brothers,

My name is Taylor Heath, a Senior in Marketing, and I have the honor of being the homecoming chairman this year for Chi Psi. Not sure if you knew, but we placed second 2 years in a row and I am determined to push us to first place this year. I have heard stories of years past when Chi Psi won every year and that must have been a really special time in Chi Psi history. I am sure you have also heard that we won The Founders Trophy this year which is for the most improved Alpha. This took a lot of hard work and also help and support from our alumni.

I am writing to let you know of our homecoming idea and see if you could help us financially with the build. Years ago homecoming displays cost about $1,000. Believe it or not, now they cost about $5,000 and we get no help from Clemson University. We use some active dues to cover costs, but our budget is so tight we just cannot cover it all. My goal is to reach out to You and other alumni and raise all $5,000. This will help us to use funds for other important functions to include our social budget. I have had very positive reactions from alum I have already written and talked with and I hope you can help as well. Whatever you can give would be very appreciated and put to good use.

Our theme this year for homecoming is "The Spirit of 1889.” We are setting a high goal but I know with support from all we can reach the goal.
