We Appreciate Your Support F or our philanthropic efforts, we raised a whopping $72,000 for Tyler Trent Foundation, which is focused on pediatric cancer research. We also hosted a car wash with Tri Delta that raised money for Riley Hospital for Children, as well as a philanthropy kickball tournament with Kappa Kappa Gamma. Our Chapter had a solid year academically with a 3.3 Chapter GPA. is placed us in the top five in fraternities with over 100 members, and top 10 overall in fraternities on campus. Academics continues to be a priority, and our hard work pays off. For athletics, we were intramural dodgeball champions, runner-up in intramural flag football, and runner-up in the Greek Basketball Association, which brother Max Wilson '25 helped start here at Purdue. Our intramural sports chairman, Matthew Etchison '26, has made sure our Chapter is well-involved in each sport offered. While we didn't win every intramural this year, we were a top team in every league we played in and will be back to win next year. e Chapter has committed several hundred hours to community service. Members have picked up trash along highways and served in retirement homes as well as prepped homes for winter months. e care for one another pours out to the community through our great efforts. Community Service Chairman Will Strahm '26 does a great job of ensuring the Chapter has plentiful opportunities to serve and make an impact on our Lafayette community. e Fraternity has had a semester that has encouraged us to grow in many areas. We look forward to the opportunity to push ourselves to set Beta Mu up for future success. Yours in _kai_, Magwire Graybill '26 President Brother Andrew Kinder '26 received the 2023 Tyler Trent Courage and Resilience Award in recognition of his persistence in his fight with Leukemia.
