New Windows Installation Complete! New windows have been installed
and look great! The new double hung, double pane, side by side
windows should significantly save on utilities and provide a
fresh look to the outside of the building. Also installed is
a new ceiling on main floor with new electrical work, new lights,
new supports and new tiles! Stop by the house and take a look
during your next trip through north west Indiana. Take
a look at some pictures here!

Computer Grant Donated by Endowment Fund
The Endowment fund has provided
a computer grant of $1700 to the chapter to upgrade the existing
network and computers. We are planning on using the grant
to purchase a new computer for the study room, upgrade memory
on the existing computers, convert one of the existing computers
into a file server/firewall, purchase a new laser printer
and install wireless access points throughout the house. These
improvements should stabilize the current network to provide
a reliable and secure internet connection and file server
to the undergraduate members.
House Corp Moves Forward with Renovations
The newly formed House Corporation
board (see members here) has
approved the installation of new windows for the entire house
as well as some main floor renovations. After securing a loan
for $25,000 from the Phi Kappa Psi Endowment Fund the board
is moving forward with some major renovations to increase
the quality of living for members and improve the general
aesthetics of the house. New double pane, double hung, side
by side windows with argon glass tint are being ordered and
will hopefully be installed before the actives move back in
mid August. Also the main ceiling is being completely redone
as well as some other general main floor improvements. Come
back for homecoming in October (7th, 8th, 9th) and see for
yourself!
