Alumni Welcome to Visit
Along with these significant upgrades, Jay completed the many other tasks to get the chapter house ready for the return of the brothers in mid-August. This included painting in several rooms and doing a complete cleaning of the chapter house.
With a number of activities going on at the chapter house during the month of September we hope that any alum in the area can stop by and check out the most recent improvements at 202 Littleton Street.
Sig letters uncovered when replacing balcony flooring.
Side Story
As Jay and his team were removing the old tile and underlayment on the balcony they uncovered a little bit of Delta Delta’s past. With the Sigma Chi letters being redone several times over our 100+ year history, no one is quite sure when these EX letters were on display. Any guesses?
New carpeting was laid in the Academic Wing.
New chairs in one of the break out rooms.
After 15 years the water softener was replaced.

Those are the letters that I recall. At least they are the same style that we had when at Delta Delta, 1976-1980
Bob Montgomery 1978
I do believe that my little brother Dan is correct! Those look like the letters that Bo Perry so meticulously buffed and waxed during the years we were there!
