Members Host Successful Fall Events P arent's Weekend last September was well attended by active members and their parents, which included a Wildcat victory against Louisiana Tech and a delicious barbecue lunch. On October 3, Kansas Beta hosted its annual Dad's Weekend with a fun-filled day of golf, football, and dinner that evening.
