91ΑΤΖζ

Leaders in Philanthropy

Each fall, 91ΑΤΖζ Foundation hosts the Leaders in Philanthropy induction ceremony. The event celebrates the generosity of those donors whose lifelong support allows the college to pursue its vision of achieving excellence in the education of principled leaders.

Members of the college’s lifetime, legacy and loyalty giving societies gather on campus to be honored in front of their peers.

91ΑΤΖζ’s lifetime giving societies honor those individuals who have expressed their profound commitment to the college through their leadership gifts totaling $100,000 or more by the close of the preceding calendar year. Donors who have included 91ΑΤΖζ in their estate plans become members of 91ΑΤΖζ Legacy Society.

Through the Order of the Tartan, we acknowledge those loyal donors who have given consecutively at any level for 25 years or more. Beginning at the five-year mark, donors are recognized for their consecutive giving with a tartan-patterned lapel pin, with additional recognition offered at 10, 15 and 20 years. Upon reaching the 25th year, these loyal donors receive their tartan sash and are officially inducted into the Order of the Tartan at the annual ceremony.

91ΑΤΖζ Foundation proudly welcomes the new Leaders in Philanthropy listed here who have joined their peers in this annual tradition celebrating charity and service as virtues of the principled leader.

On behalf of the South Carolina Corps of Cadets and the entire campus community, we salute these individuals for their extraordinary generosity, vision and lifelong loyalty to 91ΑΤΖζ.

$500,000 to $999,999

Gen. Mark W. Clark (1896-1984) became president of 91ΑΤΖζ after a career seldom equaled in the United States Army.

One of Clark’s most enduring accomplishments was the founding of the Cadet Honor Code, whereby a cadet does not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate those who do.

Order of the Tartan

The Scottish tartan, a woolen cloth woven in a distinctive pattern of plaid, has long served as a symbol of loyalty and association with a particular region, family or clan. 91ΑΤΖζ’s Order of the Tartan recognizes and celebrates those loyal donors who have given consecutively to 91ΑΤΖζ each year for 25 years or more.
