The Alpha Psi Renovation Planning Committee recently engaged the services of a local architect to develop architectural plans to address the long-term needs of the chapter house.  The plan is not to change the exterior appearance of our grand old home; the challenge is to provide a 21st century interior for our 21st century brothers.   
 
The emphasis of the renovation will be placed on provided ample study space and access to technology, while maintaining the historical character of the house.  Efficient use of space is an overriding guiding principle; every space will serve a function.  In all areas, the architect has been instructed to address mandatory building and fire code requirements.  In addition, we have placed special emphasis on the use of practical and durable building materials, finishes, and fixtures.  The aim is a high-quality, durable facility that will provide a safe living and learning environment for the next 100 years. 
 
Although the men have been successful in all aspects of fraternity measure, a more robust living and learning program will accompany the renovated home.  The alumni leadership is developing an in-house leadership program modeled after the former Theta Chi LEAD program and the current Terrapin Leadership Institute curriculum.  The program will provide goals and milestones for each year of membership.  Although administered by the live-in house director, fraternity alumni, university staff, and national representatives will be involved in the support and execution of this program.
