Kappa Alumni of Sigma Phi Delta, Inc.

On the weekend of August 12th, the Kappa Chapter held a work weekend to get the Castle looking great before the start of the fall semester. The weekend started with a Chapter visit by fellow Kappa Alumni, Grand President Alix Minden, who also helped to organize the work weekend. The attendants included 12 Actives and 8 Alumni for a total of 20 Brothers. One of the main focuses was to replace the steps of the deck, which have been in rough shape as of late. They were completely torn down, replaced, and stained. Other major projects included painting the main level and upstairs bathrooms and re-staining the balconies. The bathrooms were painted a neutral light grey color named "online" grey, and the balconies were stained the same brown color that we have all gotten accustomed to. The deck was not re-stained since there have been discussions about completely replacing the deck sometime in the near future. Additional projects included repainting the front and back doors and exterior trim, repainting the letters on the south and west sides of the house, fixing the railing in the west foyer that had come unattached, cleaning the windows, replacing a light fixture, and tracing and labeling the breaker panels by room and function. Overall, a lot of work was accomplished over the weekend, and the Castle was ready for the semester to begin. Thank you to everyone who participated in the planning and execution of the work weekend!
