Giving Societies

The Founders’ Club
In 1907 a group of young men gave of themselves to form an organization that would impact young men for many years to come. They had a vision of the future and did what it took to make it happen. They believed in a brotherhood of men, committed to scholarly activity, developing strong bonds of brotherhood, with a strong sense of civic involvement and the broadening of one's leadership skills.

These men made an investment in Triangle. In recognition of their sacrifice for the good of the order, the Education Foundation created the Founders' Club.

The Founders' Club is one of the building blocks of the Triangle Education Foundation. Club members contribute gifts of $10,000 (Diamond), $5,000 (Titanium), $2,500 (Platinum), $1,000 (Gold), $500 (Silver), $250 (Bronze), or $125 (Pearl)* over the course of the fiscal year (July 1 - June 30). These individuals provide the financial foundation for a wide array of educational programs for the members of Triangle. All alumni are invited and encourage to join this prestigious society. If you would like to become a member of this group call the Foundation’s President, Scott Bova at (317) 705-9803 or email him at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
* Special Founders' Club for recent alumni initiated within the past 10 years.

The Living Oak Society
livingOakSmall.gif
The oak tree is a meaningful part of our coat of arms, but what does it have to do with retirement and estate planning? The tree in many ways represents our Fraternity – strong, full of life, with roots deeply planted. As the years pass it gathers nourishment from the fallen leaves, grows new limbs, sprouts fresh leaves and becomes even stronger.

Just as the mighty oak tree needs nourishment to maintain its strength and keep growing, the Fraternity needs the same “plant food”. Through the generosity of many the Fraternity is the strongest it has ever been. New branches being formed on such campuses such as the University of Kentucky, new leaves being sprouted with each initiation class, and roots growing stronger with our growing ranks of alumni make Triangle Fraternity a very strong oak tree.

As retirement and estate planning have become so prevalent in today’s society as a way to pass on a greater percent of one’s estate to their family, as well as, provide “plant food” for the charities they care the most about. Thankfully for Triangle, many alumni have made it a priority to provide for the Fraternity in their plans.

In response, the Foundation has established the Living Oak Society to recognize those alumni that have made Triangle a part of their retirement and estate plans. We know many alumni have done so without even being asked and without identifying themselves, but we want to make sure you are properly recognized for your support, as well as, share with others your deep convictions in Triangle.

The President’s Men
In the fall of 2000 the Foundation launched the President’s Men, a new program specifically geared towards undergraduate Triangle brothers. The President’s Men is a special invitation from the Foundation President for undergraduates to give a vote of confidence in the work of the Foundation.

The President’s Men is a special recognition society for undergraduate members. For a $25 donation an undergraduate becomes a member of this elite society. With their gift they reaffirm their commitment to leadership and scholarship by their support of the many programs of the Foundation.

The Foundation sponsored programs such as the Educational Leadership Consultants, the Herbert F. Scobie Leadership School, the Undergraduate Interfraternity Institute, Leadership Advantage or the annual President’s Academy impact every Triangle chapter. These programs have proven results in improved chapter size, GPA, and leadership abilities.

The President’s Men program recognizes donors in the fiscal year (July 1 – June 30), if you would like more information on the President’s Men program, please contact the Foundation’s President, Scott Bova at (317) 705-9803 or at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
