Fall New Members Make
Immediate Impact at Alpha Nu
T
he magnificent magnolia tree in front
of the Usher Mansion is in full bloom
and so is the spring semester for the
men of Alpha Nu. Chirping birds and the
beaming sun have brought with them a
much-needed breath of fresh air from the
challenges the pandemic has presented us. It
has felt like a marathon of a school year, so I
wanted to share how Alpha Nu has fared as
we approach the finish line.
It all began in the mountains of Colorado,
where brothers gathered to shred the slopes
at the end of January before returning to e
Hutt. Upon our return, classes resumed in a
hybrid format, allowing some to return to e
Hill and enjoy strolls along Wescoe Beach.
Many brothers also took the opportunity to
return to Allen Fieldhouse to cheer on the
Jayhawks.
Recently, the university council approved
social gatherings at third-party venues
like Dempsey's and e Oread, which has
allowed us to resume date parties and the
planning of philanthropy events for the end
of the semester. Although it hasn't been
a normal spring at the chapter house, the
combined efforts of all members to promote
brotherhood in the form of poker and
basketball games and a plethora of other
activities have kept spirits high in this time of
uncertainty.
We are excited to welcome the 23 brothers
of the fall 2020 new member class to e
Hutt. is group of men combined for the
highest new member class GPA in Alpha Nu's
history. We are eager to see them build upon
their 3.89 GPA and strive more for scholastic
success. I'm hopeful that their academic
excellence will translate to chapter leadership.
We also accepted 14 spring new members and
are on track to have a group of high-achieving
high school graduates for fall 2021.
is year has affirmed that Betas are ready
for any challenge the world decides to throw
our way. I look forward to the end of these
uncertain times and the prolonged success of
our storied chapter.
Yours in _kai_,
