Over $350,000 in the scholarship fund.
The fund is invested by the University of Minnesota Foundation. Each year a set percentage is made available for scholarships to qualified members of the active chapter, chosen for academic success, fraternity participation, and need. Alpha is the only fraternity on the UMD campus that awards scholarships to its members.
Three named scholarships carry that work: the John L. Banks III Memorial Scholarship, the Daryl B. Knodt Memorial Scholarship, and the Warren F. Orrick Memorial Scholarship.
Named for John L. Banks, lost in Vietnam in 1966 when his C-130 went down. Academic success, participation, and allegiance to his brothers.
Named for Daryl Brooks Knodt, a former president, in 1977. Emphasis on fraternity participation and need.
Named for Warren “Butch” Orrick, whose energy for the next event was legendary. Participation and academic success.
Your gift is made through the University of Minnesota Foundation scholarship fund.
