In his memory, the Alumni Board unanimously voted to create the Ted McLaughlin Memorial Scholarship Fund. The details of the scholarship are still being worked out, and will be managed under the greater Triangle Fraternity Academic Excellence Endowment.
The goal is to raise $10,000 for the Ted McLaughlin Memorial Scholarship Fund, ensuring that a lifetime of future Triangle brothers are rewarded for the hard work, dedication, and generosity that Br. McLaughlin exemplified throughout his life.
Two very generous donors have already pledged $2,000 to the fund, and we hope that the entire Triangle family comes together to remember Br. McLaughlin.
