Since last fall, Beta Rho has reached out and helped with the Bozeman Senior Center, Gallatin County highway pickup, Sacks of Bozeman, and God's Garden. Last fall, we started to make a comeback to the glory days of intramural sports by taking third in the flag football league in the men's A Division. The spring semester is going to be a busy one with sports, with hopes of being competitive in co-ed volleyball, basketball, indoor soccer, and floor hockey. On behalf of Beta Rho, we hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and we look forward to what 2017 has in store for our chapter.
