Is this a first in Beta history? Will this be a new tradition? For some of us, new habits and norms are sometimes hard to adjust to. What happened to fast pitch softball? What is the most important extracurricular activity that we should be investing our time in? What happened to the greatest pledge-member function we had all those years ago in December? Where is that tiny sign we used to have in the yard? A very significant change in "Beta land" is the all-encompassing push through our General Fraternity in providing in-depth training for our future leaders, stressing leading a balanced and principled life, and making decisions in chapter houses that have their foundation in self-governance. In the "old days," we focused on other ways of bonding and developing our lifelong friendships. Today, the strength of bonding can be seen in a broader range of activities like the yard decoration. Hours spent together toward common goals and competition in the Greek community—and no more dance hours, but greater opportunities to interface with sororities and engage in total fun together. Congratulations to the chapter brothers for their continued strong presence in campus endeavors at our beloved alma mater.
