Since 1987, Fraternity Management Group (FMG) has worked with fraternity and sorority staff, undergraduates, and volunteers. FMG is your best source for professional assistance with alumni & parent relations programs, large scale capital campaigns, and web-based information management systems. If you are looking to make a major improvement in your relations with alumni and parents...are considering acquiring, renovating, or building a new Chapter House...are looking to raise annual or endowment funding and/or are looking for a web-based software system for membership & fundraising management or in tracking chapter operations, we can help.
In particular one resource of FMG that might be helpful for some of the house corporations would be their Seven Steps for a Successful House Corporation. This is an outline of suggested elements to functioning as a successful house corporation, managing a property, and building a sense of belonging and investment in undergraduate leaders and residents.
