Beta Nu Sisterhood a Key to Success
W
hat a fantastic six months we've had! Our board transitioned
in July to include seven new trustees—a group that is diverse
in experience and, most importantly, dedicated to taking
Beta Nu to the next level. I'd like to thank the immediate past board
members, led by Kristine Newell Hertl '99 and Kimberly Shookman
'08, for their impeccable house management during their leadership
tenure. Their savvy business sense laid the groundwork for our upcoming
capital improvement plans.
Big Plans in Store for Beta Nu
I am thrilled to report great progress toward our goal to upgrade and expand
our wonderful Dream House. We have finished our proposed building
design and are very excited about what this projected facility will offer.
We have begun the permitting process and are on schedule to break ground
as soon as the actives finish spring semester on May 4, 2014. Stay tuned
for more details on the future of the Dream House.
125th Anniversary Celebration a Huge Success
On October 25th and 26th, we welcomed over 175 Beta Nus back to Ohio
State to commemorate the 125th anniversary of Beta Nu's founding. Friday
night's celebration on the top floor of the new Thompson Library and
Saturday's brunch at the house provided a fantastic setting for meeting
Beta Nus from all eras and being reminded
of the bond we share as sisters of a chapter
that has maintained its strength on
campus for over 125 years. Thank you to
all who participated, some of whom traveled
thousands of miles to be here.
Jennifer Snyder '84, Mary Jo Nesbitt Weis
'83, and Kathleen Falvey Brown '84.
On a personal note, I continue to be
awestruck by the outpouring of support
we have received from our alumnae over
the past year. I have truly enjoyed every
minute connecting with so many of you
and look forward to more in the future. We
have so much to be proud of and there's no better reminder than
a call from a woman that starts, "Hi Tanya, I'm a Beta Nu Kappa."
Keep 'em coming!
Loyally,
