Introducing The AlEF Circle of Excellence!
For nearly a century, alumni have helped sustain the Alpha lota experience, ensuring future brothers have access to the same opportunities that shaped their own time at Missouri S&T. The Circle of Excellence recognizes those who make an annual commitment to AlEF, strengthening scholarships, leadership development, and educational programs that support the growth of today's members.
To make participation accessible, AlEF offers three giving options:
$1 Per Day Club: A simple, accessible commitment that allows brother to make a meaningful annual impact.
$1000 'til You Drop (Annually): A solid mid-level contribution for those who want to help expand AlEF's scholarship and leadership programs.
Founders Club - $1933 Annually: A tribute to Alpha-lota's founding year, this level is ideal for brothers who want to leave a lasting legacy.
We are proud to recognize the alumni already committed to the Founders Club:
Larry Cook '94
Bernie Ebert '64
Bob Niehaus '68
Alan Smith '92
Jeff Tottleben '91
PJ Weber '95
A portion of this support also helps maintain the chapter home itself. While brothers' house bills fund the majority of operating costs, alumni donations and AlEF grants play a meaningful role. Under current guidelines, AIBA can request AIEF grants to cover about 26% of its annual operating costs, reflecting the areas of the facility dedicated to educational use. This shared investment keeps the house safe, modern, and aligned with the academic mission of the chapter.
