RECOGNIZED EXCELLENCE
Congratulations to the undergraduate Chapter for again
winning the coveted FACE award. FACE, the Founders
Award for Chapter Excellence, is the highest award given
by our Kappa Sigma National Fraternity. Only 30 of 300
Chapters receive this award each year.
SUMMER HOUSELIFT
Every year, the house corporation leads an effort to clean,
patch, paint, and repair the house over the summer. Active
members living in the house are required to completely vacate
their room to allow the work to be done. It has been 11 years
since our last major renovation, and the house is showing
some wear. This summer, we replaced the cabinets and
countertop at the breakfast bar in the dining room, replaced
the last two electrical panels that were from the original
house, and purchased new chairs for the dining room.
ACADEMICS
Congratulations to these Brothers who achieved a 4.0 GPA
last semester:
D'Tanyon Maxwell '18, Dalton Jayaraj '21, Cal
Greiner '21, Keelan McPheeters '20, Eric Wilhelm '19,
Nick Kelsch '19, and Noah Evans '18. Nice work!
RECRUITMENT
The university has recently built new dorms and set policies
in place to ensure they get filled. Despite these challenges,
our recruitment team, led by Evan Ratermann '18,
recruited one of the largest classes on campus this
summer with over 30 new members. This is quite an
accomplishment! Thank you, Evan.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
A substantial number of students leave the university after
their first year due to finances. The Beta-Chi Educational
Foundation is working with the university to expand our
financial aid scholarships. The Beta-Chi Educational
Foundation will place $50,000 into a university-managed
fund, and the university will match this with another
$50,000. This fund will be invested by the university,
and the proceeds will be available to our members in
financial need. If you would like to support these
financial aid scholarships, which directly benefit Beta-
Chi active members, please donate here: tinyurl.com/

THANK YOU, ALUMNI!
I'm always impressed and thankful for the generous
support of our Beta-Chi alumni! We are all grateful for
to the Beta-Chi alumni for their continued support of the
Chapter and our undergraduate members.
Thanks again. We are looking forward to another great year.
Fraternally,
Robert Hoffmann '78
