Management Structure at the Sigma Nu Compound

The management of the property is vested in three separate entities; The Alumni volunteers and board, Robinson Investment Company, Inc (Finance & Billing), and Sunnyside (Property Management).

The alumni volunteers and board ("AVC") are the governing entity at the property. The AVC controls all aspects of life at the compound and is responsible for establishing all policy at the property. Sunnyside  implements all policies of the AVC at the property. They are who you call if you have a maintenance request and they enforce the rules of the property. They are in charge of leasing and repairs at the property. They are the main point of contact for property related items. Robinson Investment Co., Inc. is in charge of all matters related to fraternity funds. Robinson generates your monthly billing statements and collects all rents, dues, meal plans and pass thru charges. Robinson pays all the expenses of the property from these funds collected. They do not make policy and report directly to the AVC  and work with Sunnyside for billing out all maintenance.

Electricity is separately metered for each apartment, with the exception of Apartment #6, which also powers the common areas of this property. Therefore, units 1,2,4,5,and 7 will need to contact Xcel Energy to place service in the own account. The electrical account for #6 will remain in the Account of Sigma Nu and 60% of this account will be billed to the two occupants of #6 and the remaining 40% will be distributed to the other nine residents equally. Therefore, in addition to their own electrical bill, Residents of 1,2,4,5 and 7 will see a common area electricity charge on their monthly statements. The Residents of #6 will not have an Xcel bill to pay directly and the 60% of their account they reimburse Sigma Nu for shall include their share of the common areas.

There is one gas, water and trash account at the property and these expenses will be passed thru to each resident in a 1/11th share.

The cook, Phillip Ohmes will reside in apartment #2 and like you he will pay his respective share of utilities at the property.

Hot-Tub Facility

As you are aware, we have a hot-tub at the property for all active members to enjoy and there is an ongoing expense to maintain it which is passed thru to members living at the property. These charges will be assigned to each member living on the property. As there will be 49 men living on the compound, each member will pay 1/49th of this expense.


Damage and Vandalism (all Properties)

In general, tenant caused damage and vandalism will be billed back per diem (based on the location) at 120% of the actual expense.  As an example, a window is broken in a common area of the property at 1043 Pleasant and the repair costs $200.00. Unless the member who caused the damage accepts responsibility, each member living at the property will be assessed 1/22nd of the base repair, or $9.09 AND 1/22nd of the 20% "add on," or $1.82. for a total of $10.91 each. 

The "add on" is a separately charged item and is necessary to help recover the cost of billing back and for future work at the property. This 20% add on charge shall apply for all repairs caused by tenant misuse or abuse except in instances where the responsible person comes forward.  The 20% charge does not go to Sunnyside Property Managment, but rather into the Sigma Nu GK general funds for future capital improvements to the chapter property.

There is one exception to the add on charge which is damage to a door at the compound. A damaged or kicked in door is charged at $1,000.00 per instance irregardless of whether it can be assigned to one person or not. The add on charge in this instance shall be the difference between the actual cost of the door replacement and $1,000.00, typically about $650.00. Please don’t kick in doors; it will cost you.
