Because our members have been diligent in the management of the Chapter facility, we
believe the construction of a new building, coupled for the time being with the existing facility, will
allow Kansas Eta to maintain it’s stature as the most sought after membership in fraternal life at WSU.
With the construction as proposed, we will strive to maintain the laid-back, home-like feel of our
present facility, while adding more formal living and entertaining space. It’s also our goal to keep the
warm sense of brotherhood, which fundamentally aids our members in successfully navigating their
collegiate careers.
