would consider donating it. There is a space in
our Mother's Room that would fit a regular-
sized, upright piano, but we could probably move
some furniture around to fit something larger. It
will be used by undergraduates recreationally
and as a good hang out spot to play and listen to
music. Beta-Chi has had a piano in the past, and
it was a great tool to building brotherhood in the
Chapter. Any donations would be appreciated,
even if they aren't in the best shape. We will also
transport the piano to Rolla if needed. Contact
me if you can help us!
Beta-Chi has a lot of things to look forward to. In
November, campus holds a Greek awards banquet,
and members of Beta-Chi are nominated for every
award that will be given out. Mid-semester grades
were released and Beta-Chi boasts our best mid-
semester GPA in recent memory, which will
hopefully carry over to the end of the semester.
Spring recruitment has begun for Beta-Chi and
we have a goal of 10-12 pledges for the upcoming
semester—we are well on our way to meeting this
goal. Beta-Chi will continue to pursue excellence in
every area and exemplify the four pillars of Kappa
Sigma every day.
