E-mail: thornton.155@gmail.com A lumni, as Theta Delta reestablishes itself at The Ohio State University we count on your recommendations of future members more than ever. If you know of a potential new member, send his name and information to Edward Reehorst '15 at reehorst.3@osu.edu. Recruitment Recommendations New Colony Excited for Future Chapter Leadership Pushes Theta Delta Forward B eing given the opportunity to be the first president of the recolonized Theta Delta Chapter has already proven to be an incredibly unique and valuable experience. To see the brotherhood develop so quickly between our members, and the interest and investment they have poured into our Fraternity continues to impress me on a daily basis. I believe I speak for all of our members when I say we want nothing more than to bring Beta Theta Pi back to its great esteem here at The Ohio State University. The choice to be founding fathers has presented us with a great opportunity to serve as bridge builders for the coming generations of Betas, both at this chapter and across the country. It is a true privilege to work with young men who pour their heart and souls into the development and improvement of a values-based fraternal culture with hopes of giving a great foundation to future members. In a time where instant self- gratification is prized more than ever before, I am continually impressed with my brothers' willingness to sacrifice in order to pay it forward for future brothers who have yet to experience any of the joys of being a Beta. In the coming months we look forward to the meaningful work we will put in toward receiving our charter, while continuing to build brotherhood within our colony and fraternity within our Greek Community. We realize what is at stake, and the importance of the work we are doing here at this university. This has been an amazing, joyful, and often times, trying, experience that I would not change for the world. It is for that reason that I look forward to not only the remainder of my term, but to a lifetime of commitment to the Theta Delta Chapter, and to Beta Theta Pi. Fraternally, Dan Grainger '15 President grainger.2@osu.edu
