2024 Upstairs Day Rooms: A Strong Start

In 2024, we launched a project to modernize the day rooms on the residential side of our chapter house. Starting with the upstairs rooms, we raised countertops to accommodate large refrigerators underneath, added shelving for storage, and installed a large mirror to brighten the space. We also replaced temporary closets with built-in units, ensuring all members living there have equal amenities. These updates have made the upstairs day rooms more functional and welcoming for our sisters.

2026 Downstairs Day Rooms and Beyond

We’ve completed a significant update for the downstairs day rooms in summer 2026, creating beautiful, consistent and equitable rooms across the residential side. The project included:

• Lifting Countertops and Adding Shelving: Custom shelving in each room, plus paint, prep, and lighting updates.

• Added Closets: New built-in closets to replace the remaining temporary closets (“tins”) in the day rooms.

• Solid Flooring (LVT/LVP): Durable flooring for all 16 day rooms (11 on the first floor, 5 on the second floor).

• Hallway Flooring: New LVT/LVP flooring for first- and second-floor hallways.

• Painting: Fresh paint to revitalize the hallways and day rooms.

The cost for this project was $254,000. This effort will ensure our home remains a comfortable and equitable space for our collegiate members.

Sponsor a Room: Leave Your Mark

Alumnae can sponsor a day room with a gift of $10,000 or more, choosing to donate as an individual, a family, a pledge class, or in memory of someone special. Your name, a loved one’s, a family name, or pledge class can be displayed on the room in perpetuity. We’re flexible and happy to accommodate your request, with no limit to sponsors per room; we’ll add names or details to celebrate every donor’s contribution. Your support will fund the room renovations or other capital improvements at our chapter house, helping create a lasting legacy for our sisterhood. Contact us for more information.
