- No more check writing
- No more annoying (and expensive) annual giving mailings
- Chi Phi receives 100% of the donations

where is the money going
OTA will focus ALL of the Omega Giving Club fundraising dollars on improvements directly related to the benefit of alumni, guests, and family who visit the house for events such as Football games and Shrimp & Beer. General maintenance, OTA house operations, and mortgage payments will continue to be funded by rental income, not through the Omega Giving Club. Below is a list of near term projects:

- Ladies Head (Complete)

Additionally, the Omega Giving Club funded the recent renovation and repair of the men's shower room and the roof over rooms 9, 10, 11, & 12.

ALL RENOVATIONS TOTAL OVER $40,000!!!
