Support Our Annual Fund

To move forward, we need your help. Over the next three years, we aim to raise $100,000. These funds will help with reinstatement, especially during rush, hell week, and initiation. In addition, our beloved Lodge needs fencing, weatherproofing, and a security camera. (Our Lodge, as you know, is the first fraternity lodge in America.) We also have manuscripts, photographs, and other artifacts from the 1850s, which need preservation. To help our Actives, we also want to participate in the Sean Kelly Holiday Party, for needy families in Ohio’s Knox County. Many of you say Sean Kelly is the most meaningful activity during your four years at Kenyon. Finally, longer-range goals include creating a scholarship for one of our worthy Actives. Every one of your board of directors has pledged to participate. How can you help?
