Our SLC programs and recruitment have taken off now that we have the systems in place to excel. For instance, in April we hosted "Love, Mom and Dad," a program run by two moms who lost their sons in hazing incidents. The event turnout was about 2,500 strong; our FSL advisor said it was the largest Greek life program on campus in over a decade. We're proud to welcome 21 new members this fall! We stepped out of our comfort zone of Kansas City-based recruitment this year with new members ranging from Colorado to New York and Texas. The future is in the right hands with these quality brothers. It's been a great year for our upperclassmen, too: we had a 100% graduation rate from our senior class. Several of these graduates are now pursuing master's degrees, and many have taken on good jobs with promising futures ahead of them. The Chapter House has seen major renovations this summer, including revamped hallways and bedrooms. Biggest of all was the renovation on our bathrooms. The new restrooms turned out great, and we are excited for all these home improvements. With great alumni support and our undergraduates working toward a shared vision, the Chapter is in a promising spot for years to come. If you or someone you know would like to help with future renovations or Chapter programming, please contact me. Thank you all, and if you're ever in town do feel free to stop by the Chapter House. We love having alumni visit! Fraternally, Hayden Pater '25 Chapter President haydenpater@ksu.edu (913) 617-6573
