| Dear Parents,
Is your student a member of a fraternity or sorority? You now have the opportunity to support his/her Greek organization through the Annual Fund. Gifts to a fraternity or sorority are completely tax-deductible, and will directly benefit the designated organization.
Contributions will reside in a special fund and will be used to pay for leadership initiatives and scholarships, as well as for building repair and enhancement in a university-owned sorority or fraternity house.
To make your gift, visit www.cmu.edu/give and select “Other” from the pull-down “Designation” menu and type the intended Greek organization name in the “Comments” field.
As always, you can still designate a gift to other areas where your child is involved - whether it is a department, school/college, or student activity. Show your support by participating today!
Sincerely,
Christy Thomas
Director of the Parents Leadership Program
