Beta Theta Pi - The Ohio State University

BQP THETA DELTA DRAGON Beta Theta Pi at The Ohio State University • Fall 2015 T here are a lot of exciting changes in store for Beta eta Pi at e Ohio State University. We are pleased to share that in the short time since returning to campus, eta Delta boasts 52 active members and plans to recruit another 15 this fall. ese brothers have hit the ground running and are already being recognized by both e Ohio State University and Beta eta Pi communities, and are building the lifelong friendships that our brotherhood is all about. Since beginning the recolonization process, the brotherhood has been energized and has provided a sense of pride and excitement for our alumni. Many of you have stayed connected to the university and we hope that you can find a way to support eta Delta as well. Alumni leadership has identified three key areas that have been deemed the most important and needing of our immediate attention: recolonization success, housing, and leadership development. When we look back at our own Beta eta Pi experience, we can see how the friendships, leadership, and service—even decades ago— helped shape who we are today. We are thankful for our close friendships with eta Delta brothers, for the leadership development that helped us become successful community members, and for the numerous opportunities gained through Beta eta Pi membership. I still remember, as I'm sure you do, the great times we had together at the Chapter House and the memories we created. We need to work together to make eta Delta a brotherhood that alumni want to come back to and college men want to join. So what can you do to help? Naturally, many brothers expect to make a gi. Financial support is important and needed in the future; until that time comes, we ask that brothers show their support in one of the following ways: Come home. Many of you come back for football games. Don't miss the opportunity to walk around campus and reconnect with your pledge brothers. Relive some great memories.
