PAge 3 betA thetA Pi B eta Pi has remained steadfast in providing for our local community this year. Brothers Jacob Polzin '25 and Adam Castella '23 successfully organized our annual Light the Row event last December, raising nearly $3,000 to support the Aurora Center and prevent sexual violence on campus. Additionally, Brothers Simon Horning '24 and Paul Goff '26 have continued this longstanding relationship through their volunteer efforts as Aurora Center Violence Protection Advocates. During winter break, several executive team members attended the Keystone Regional Leadership Conference in St. Louis, Missouri. At Keystone, these members developed essential leadership skills while meeting Betas from across North America. Upon returning to school, we welcomed home Brother Nathan Twardock '23, who returned from his study abroad trip to Sweden. We are also excited to see Brother Matthew Basken '24 return to school this fall after a dedicated rehabilitation process following his severe injury last year. Continuing our fervent dedication to scholastics, Beta Pi earned a 3.42 GPA last fall, again ranking in the top five in the IFC. Academic Chairmen Joey Burgess '25 and Gabriel Baggot '23 have committed the members to attend weekly study events to further our academic achievements this year. With 13 graduating seniors, we are excited for the journey our brothers will soon commence. These men have ardently embodied our chapter's five core values and will continue to do so as they transition into the professional world. Hearty thanks to the alumni who attended spring initiation, helping guide new members through their journey into Men of Principle. We look forward to seeing more of you for golf, Homecoming, and beyond! Yours in __kai__, Jacob T.
