The tournament was made up of teams from the fraternities and the college and drew a large crowd of spectators. Although both the Fiji teams involved were quickly eliminated, the fraternity managed to raise $1,200. The money was donated to Moneythink, a nonprofit dedicated to teaching financial literacy in low-income communities. \r\nFIJIGRAM Page 2 PIG DINNER SUCCESS-HOUSE TO CLOSE 6/2015 CONTINUED... (Continued from page 1) will be closing the chapter house at the end of next school year. Chapter membership is at an all-time high, but the house is no longer able to safely accommodate so many brothers. The goal is to begin the total rehabilitation of the chapter house in June 2015. A steering committee has been formed to help direct the process of raising funds for this project. It will take great effort and sacrifice across all the generations of our chapter, but we are certain that the dedication of our brotherhood is strong enough to ensure the success of this campaign to revitalize Chi Upsilon.
