Recruitment Shines with an Incoming Class of 30 Men
All 30 new members were signed before the end of the spring 2018 se-
mester. This class is very diverse in the sense that 35% of the members are
from central/western Kansas, 32% are from KC, 19% are from out of state,
and 13% are from Wichita. It is also worth noting are that 74% played high
school athletics and the average
GPA was 3.67. We know these
new members are well-rounded
individuals that will live out our
True Gentleman lifestyle. Our
quick signings show how pas-
sionate and persistent the leaders
in our chapter are. We are excited
for a large class and we hope to
learn from them as much as they
learn from us.
Although it truly is great to be an
SAE at K-State in 2018, we know
we can always improve. Our mission is to capitalize on areas we are excel-
ling but also to improve on our weaker areas. Bringing in a larger fresh-
man class provides new opportunities for growth and development of our
compelling brotherhood. We are appreciative of all our alumni's support
and hope you are as proud of our accomplishments as we are. The men's
hard work paid in full, and we will continue to produce success for many
years to come.

Chapter
Leadership
I
am pleased to report that the actives continue to provide strong lead-
ership and the chapter continues aggressively on the upswing. For
the fall 2018 semester, the chapter house is once again full with 61 men
living in. The house has never looked better and the chapter budget is
in solid shape.
Please read the chapter update by Ryan Montgomery '20. The active
chapter is delivering great results and making Kansas Beta the chapter
to emulate both at Kansas State and nationally.
Recruitment is a year-round activity and the critical lifeblood of the
chapter. If you are aware of any potential new members, please contact
me or Recruitment Chairmen Chase Stalder '19 at stalder00@ksu.edu
or (785) 280-3273 or Ryan Schippers '20 at ryan_schippers3@yahoo.
com or (785) 656-1554.
Our next major improvement project is the chapter house HVAC sys-
tem, which ranges from 30 years old for the air conditioning to over
50 years old for the boiler. The total project cost will be approximately
$150,000. We have raised approximately $50,000 to date and fundrais-
ing activities continue.
Thank you for your continued support. I promise you the money is
carefully managed and invested in the future of Kansas Beta. It is a
future that is very bright.
Yours in the Bonds,
Steve Lacy '76, '77
