Upsilon
Xi and its Alumni Association began working with Lee in the Spring of 2011 on an
Arch project in celebration of its 50th Anniversary.
Originally, two arches were proposed, but it was later agreed that one
would be built.
Upsilon’s contribution to the
project would be to raise $25,000.
Fundraising efforts would be led by the President of the UXAA, Joseph Giove. Fundraising began in earnest in mid-July 2011 and in just two and a half months;
the milestone was reached (eight months ahead of schedule).
The location and design of the Arch was chosen by the Lee University
Administration. Lee chose a site
between the Science and Math Complex and Tennis facilities, at the northernmost
head of the Church Street Pedestrian Mall.
The location selected including a building formerly used by Lee’s
counseling services. Construction
on the Arch began in August 2012, and was completed well before that year's Homecoming
weekend. Lee University named the
arch: the “North Gate Arch,” and a plaque on each column honors the
contributions of Upsilon Xi as well as the individual donors who contributed to
the project. The Arch was dedicated on November 3, 2012. The
President of the UXAA, Dr. Duran Palmertree was given the honor of cutting the
ceremonial ribbon.
