Gamma Phi Beta Facilities Management Company

Annual Report

Fiscal Year 2026 (August 1, 2025, to July 31, 2026)

A Note From The FMC Chair And Chief Executive Officer Dear Gamma Phi Beta sisters and friends, We are proud to share the Facilities Management Company (FMC) Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2026. It was a year of meaningful progress, marked by thoughtful planning, stronger support systems and a continued focus on creating places where Gamma Phi Betas can live, connect and belong. This year, we took important steps to strengthen both our facilities and the people who care for them. We developed a five-year capital improvement plan that will help us anticipate needs, prioritize investments and make responsible decisions across our housing portfolio. Last fiscal year, we established the Affiliated House Corporation (AHC) Development Committee to help us better understand how the FMC can support AHCs and the volunteers who lead them. This fiscal year, the committee began its work with a listening tour, creating space for AHC leaders to share their experiences, challenges and ideas. What we learn will help shape more relevant resources and stronger support in the years ahead. We also remained focused on the member experience. By working closely with chapters and responding to local needs, we reduced empty beds in several facilities. We also collected stories from our facility directors that illustrate the value of living in Gamma Phi Beta housing. These authentic accounts will help members and their families better understand how the residential experience fosters friendship, connection, personal growth and a lifelong sense of belonging. The progress reflected in this report gives us confidence in the FMC’s direction. We are planning with greater intention, listening closely and building a stronger foundation for the future. As we begin the next chapter of this work, we are pleased to welcome Nerissa Neal Rouzer (Virginia),

During Fiscal Year 2025-26, the FMC focused on strengthening its housing portfolio, improving occupancy and planning more intentionally for the future. Developed a Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan The FMC developed a five-year capital improvement plan to provide a clearer picture of anticipated needs across its housing portfolio. The plan will help the FMC prioritize projects, prepare for major expenses and make informed investments that support the safety, competitiveness and long-term sustainability of its facilities.

Evaluated Support for Affiliated House Corporations During the AHC Development Committee’s first full year of work, the committee conducted a listening tour with affiliated house corporation leaders and volunteers. The conversations were designed to help the FMC better understand the challenges AHCs face, identify gaps in existing support and learn what tools and resources would be most valuable. The committee’s findings will inform future efforts to strengthen AHC operations, volunteer engagement and property stewardship. Improved Facility Occupancy Increasing occupancy remained an important strategic priority for the FMC. Through focused work with chapters and a better understanding of local housing conditions, the FMC reduced the number of empty beds in several facilities. This progress strengthened the financial health of those properties while allowing more members to benefit from the Gamma Phi Beta residential experience. Demonstrated the Value of Sorority Housing The FMC collected stories from facility directors that illustrate how living in Gamma Phi Beta housing contributes to friendship, connection, personal growth and belonging. These authentic accounts will help the FMC communicate the value of the residential experience to members and their families and strengthen future efforts to promote Sorority housing. Enhanced the StarRez Experience Following the implementation of StarRez, the FMC completed its first academic-year cycle using the platform for residential agreements, billing and other housing operations. Staff used feedback and lessons from the first year to identify opportunities to improve the billing and residential experience. The platform also gives the FMC opportunities to further streamline work orders, occupancy reporting and property management. FMC Growth The FMC grew by merging with two AHCs during the biennium. We are excited to welcome Epsilon (Northwestern) and Zeta Sigma (South Carolina) to the FMC portfolio. We are proud of the following major projects that occurred for Zeta Sigma during the biennium including: • Zeta Sigma (South Carolina): Paid off mortgage, updated landscaping, replaced three HVAC units, replaced the roof and added a new resident fridge and microwave. • We are currently working with PDR Interiors and Northwestern University on facility updates to the Epsilon (Northwestern) facility for residents to move in September 2026.
