Centennial Celebration and Homecoming 2009

Dear Alumni Brother,

The Active Brothers of Triangle Fraternity invite you and your family to attend the Purdue Chapter of Triangle’s Centennial Celebration and Homecoming 2009.

On April 8th, 1909, the Purdue Chapter of Triangle became the second installation of the fraternity founded by sixteen civil engineering students at the University of Illinois two years earlier.

This year, our chapter will be celebrating the 100th anniversary of this event. Our Centennial Celebration will take place on the weekend of October 3rd, 2009, to coincide with the Purdue University Homecoming Celebration. On Saturday, October 3rd, the Purdue Boilermakers square off against the Northwestern Wildcats at a time to be determined. read more...

Alumni Message Board

We have a new message board, where you can catch up with your pledge brothers and coordinate pledge class trips back to Purdue. Check it out and post some messages!
 

Active Chapter Membership Up

The actives are putting an extra effort into rush this year to increase the number of actives living in the house to 50 next fall and to return the house to full occupancy shortly thereafter.

With that goal in mind, we are reminded that the best rush candidates often come from alumni referrals. If you know a good rush candidate who will be a freshman at Purdue, let the actives know about him! You can use the contact message form to transmit the information.
 

Property Manager Hired

The alumni board has hired Dick's Property Management Service to develop and execute a long-term maintenance plan for the chapter house. This will ensure that the house is in good physical condition year after year. The actives do a great job of fixing the smaller problems and keeping the house clean, but the major house systems require the time and knowledge of a professional property manager.

With Dick's help we've recently installed heating and air conditioning in the rack room, upgraded the fire alarm system, installed new hot water storage tanks and water softener, replaced the counter tops in all three study wing bathrooms, and upgraded the equipment in the kitchen. During the summer Dick is working on the study rooms... cleaning all of the rooms, replacing the locks, and doing electrical safety upgrades. The house is in the best condition it's been in quite a few years!

The latest improvement in January 2006 is heating and air conditioning for the rack room!
