THE STEPHEN P. DEPALMA Infrastructure Loan Fund (ILF) was established by the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity National Council in 1987 to build a corpus of funds to assist chapters of Pi Kappa Phi in the acquisition of housing. A portion of each member’s initiation fee funds the ILF.

At the 53rd Supreme Chapter in 2012, the ILF was renamed the Stephen P. DePalma Infrastructure Loan Fund in honor of Past National President DePalma who was instrumental in the formation of the ILF.

The Infrastructure Loan Fund is administered by Pi Kappa Phi Properties, Inc. to promote the fund, review applications, manage risk, preserve assets, grant loans within prudent business and marketplace terms and conditions as determined by the administrator through the Infrastructure Loan Fund Treasurer and approved by the Pi Kappa Phi Properties Board of Directors.
