T he Theta Delta Chapter is making great strides toward excellence. We are now in good standing with both The Ohio State University and the General Fraternity, for the first time since 2020. Our current roster consists of 115 members from all over the United States. We initiated 32 new members in the spring, with all but one living in the Chapter House. These men have been superb additions to the Chapter and have many great things to say about their new member education process as well as the Son of the Stars curriculum: "I have been able to excel professionally and academically with the help and guidance from my older brothers in Beta." –Aidan Kelly '25 "Through my involvement in Beta, I feel I have bettered myself in many aspects of my life. I have seen myself grow and mature into a better student, son, boyfriend, and brother." –Tyler Bruns '25 "Beta has introduced me to so many unique personalities and types of people. It has broadened my perspective on so many aspects of my life." –Ben Campion '25 The executive team's goals for this upcoming semester are to increase involvement, safety, and professional growth—for all brothers. The executive team consists of juniors and seniors, and our main emphasis is to engage the younger members and prepare them to carry this Chapter forward. Theta Delta has performed outstandingly in philanthropic activities. Last year, we placed third in all Ohio State organizations, raising just over $60,000 for Buckeyethon. We have worked alongside the Free To Smile Foundation and have raised enough money to fund 18 children's facial correction surgeries. The Chapter has recently gained executive advisors for the first time since our return. Led by former Chapter President Daniel Grainger '16, this team of advisors has given the Chapter a new outlet of resources that we had not had prior. This advisor team has been great for the Chapter, allowing current members to better connect with Theta Delta alumni. Most importantly, they provide insight on the sacrifices of those that came before us who allow us to uphold Beta Theta Pi. We look forward to making them proud.
