Beta Theta Pi - The Ohio State University

1 2 3 THETA DELTA DRAGON THETA DELTA DRAGON Page 2 T heta Delta has experienced tremendous growth in the last year, following our deferred revocation with the University and probation with the General Fraternity. Since August 2022, our Chapter has been in good standing with both for the first time since early 2020. We strove this year to take advantage of that and better ourselves both internally and externally: • We initiated 35 pledges in Spring 2023—one of the largest pledge classes in Theta Delta history. • Two brothers currently serve on the IFC council: Alex Brady '25 (VP of Finance) and Dan Brace '25 (Judicial Board Justice). • Our Chapter took home two SFL awards in early April, including one Chapter-wide award (Excellence in Harm Reduction Award) and one individual award (Outstanding Campus Involvement Award, won by Ryan Vespi '24). These were Theta Delta's first awards since 2019, again reflecting the amazing improvements we have made in the last year. • As of spring 2023, Theta Delta has the fourth-highest GPA in the IFC at a cumulative 3.45; we will continue to pursue scholastic excellence in the coming school year! Finally, we have switched our philanthropy to the ALS Association in honor of Joe Chinnici '64. Our Chapter would not be where it is today without Joe's hard work and dedication, so we have decided to honor him through our philanthropic efforts. We have had tremendous growth as a Chapter this year, and we are excited to see how much we continue to grow and improve in the coming months.

President Tim Greenwell '24 Achieve IFC Chapter of the Year at the 2024 SFL awards Something Theta Delta hasn't accomplished since our rechartering in 2015 Have at least five brothers on the IFC Including as president Increase Chapter GPA to at least 3.5 And keep aiming for the top on campus Chapter Goals T his year, largely due to my ALS diagnosis, the House Corporation Board and Alumni Association Board decided to hire an outside professional firm to take over the tasks I have shouldered for many years with HCB members Phil White '64 and Ralph Talmage '71. A committee of members from both boards interviewed three companies, all very qualified to cover the tasks. We selected ARX Realty, headed by Jay Kerr. We have had a working relationship with Jay for some 11 years, going back to the "old" Beta house. Since then, Jay has been our primary maintenance supervisor with the new house. I am pleased to report the Chapter House move out went smoothly this May; brothers left it in good shape. I have enjoyed serving on the House Corporation Board as well as in many other capacities over the years. And having our son and grandson, Joe Chinnici III, Cincinnati '92, and Jackson Chinnici '25, become initiated Betas has been frosting on the cake!
