We Appreciate Your Support F or our philanthropic efforts, we raised a whopping $72,000 for Tyler Trent Foundation, which is focused on pediatric cancer research. We also hosted a car wash with Tri Delta that raised money for Riley Hospital for Children, as well as a philanthropy kickball tournament with Kappa Kappa Gamma. Our Chapter had a solid year academically with a 3.3 Chapter GPA. is placed us in the top five in fraternities with over 100 members, and top 10 overall in fraternities on campus. Academics continues to be a priority, and our hard work pays off. For athletics, we were intramural dodgeball champions, runner-up in intramural flag football, and runner-up in the Greek Basketball Association, which brother Max Wilson '25 helped start here at Purdue. Our intramural sports chairman, Matthew Etchison '26, has made sure our Chapter is well-involved in each sport offered. While we didn't win every intramural this year, we were a top team in every league we played in and will be back to win next year. e Chapter has committed several hundred hours to community service. Members have picked up trash along highways and served in retirement homes as well as prepped homes for winter months. e care for one another pours out to the community through our great efforts. Community Service Chairman Will Strahm '26 does a great job of ensuring the Chapter has plentiful opportunities to serve and make an impact on our Lafayette community. e Fraternity has had a semester that has encouraged us to grow in many areas. We look forward to the opportunity to push ourselves to set Beta Mu up for future success. Yours in _kai_, Magwire Graybill '26 President Brother Andrew Kinder '26 received the 2023 Tyler Trent Courage and Resilience Award in recognition of his persistence in his fight with Leukemia. The Beta dodgeball team secured an Intramural Championship this winter! is spring has been eventful for Beta Mu!
