This remarkable achieve- ment is a testament to the collective hard work and dedi- cation of our brotherhood, alumni, and Board of Trus- tees. We are currently tied for being the 4th most deco- rated ATO chapter nationally, but our sights are firmly set on becoming number one. As a chapter, we take immense pride in this recognition and remain committed to upholding the values and standards that make True Merit possible. Academics Continue Upward Trend! Continuing our strong academic performance trend of last year, the chapter achieved a remarkable 3.31 GPA for the fall quarter and our cumulative chapter average is now 3.22. Incredibly, ten brothers achieved perfect 4.0 GPA's for the fall quarter (out of 55 actives as four oth- ers were on co-op assignments) and over 50% of the chapter received a 3.5 GPA or greater. This performance puts us above All Greek Men's average and we now rank third in cumulative GPA just slightly behind Pike and Triangle. We also have another academically strong pledge class and all indications are we will continue this strong performance going forward. Leadership in Action Our brothers continue to lead across campus in meaning- ful and impactful ways. The entire brotherhood is deeply integrated into various organizations and societies, em- bodying leadership in all forms. A special shoutout goes to Jack Cooperman, who is rounding out his term as the Student Government Association President, and Jack Martin, who not only serves as the Student Government Association Secretary but also excels as the Project Manager of the largest competition team on campus, the Battery Workforce Challenge Team. Additionally, Spen- cer Cruse has made us proud by becoming the first active brother in at least four years to represent the chapter as a Sophomore Advisor in Blumberg Hall. These achieve- ments are just a glimpse of how our brothers are making a difference on campus and beyond. Sports Highlights Our chapter boasts incredible athletic talent across a variety of varsity sports. Currently, we have 1 member on the Varsity Baseball team, 3 members on the Varsity Golf team, 8 members on the Varsity Football team, 3 members on the Varsity Swim team, and 4 members on the Varsity Track team. Apart from just participating, these brothers have excelled in what they love: Aditya Reddy '26: This past season in Golf, Aditya tied the school record for the lowest 18-hole round in Rose- Hulman history with an astounding 66. He finished 4th in the conference championship, made the HCAC team, and played at the national championship. Austin Frick '27: Another standout golfer, Austin had an incredible season, earning 3 HCAC Player of the Week awards, HCAC Newcomer of the Year, PING All- Region, and was ranked the 15th best golfer in all of D3. He also set the single-best scoring average record in a season in Rose-Hulman history and competed at the national championship. Tommaso Calviello '26: In swimming, Tommaso has helped his team win the HCAC conference title for the last three seasons. Additionally, he helped set the school record in the 800-meter free relay and placed 3rd in the 100 back and 4th in the 200 free at the HCAC confer- ence. Matteo Calviello '26: Matteo has also helped the swim team win the HCAC conference title for the last three seasons, showcasing his exceptional talent and dedica- tion to the sport. Antonio Barnes '27: On the football field, Antonio received second-team All-Conference honors. Wyatt Bell '27: Wyatt also shone in football, earning an All-Conference honorable mention as well as Academic All-Conference honors. Logan Phillips '27: In track, Logan placed 6th in the 110m hurdles at the HCAC conference. We are incredibly proud of these brothers and their out- standing contributions both on and off the field. Thriving Together The chapter is in a fantastic place, both socially and professionally. We have worked diligently to strengthen our relationship with Rose-Hulman and the Student Affairs office, ensuring we maintain a positive and pro- ductive partnership. This year, our house is the fullest it has been since its recent renovations, with 42 members calling it home. This vibrant living environment has fostered a strong sense of community and brotherhood. Additionally, we've made great strides in our financial structure, and the chapter is in excellent financial stand- ing—a solid foundation for continued success. As we look ahead, we remain committed to excelling in all aspects of fraternity life, from leadership and academ- ics to sports and community engagement. We are proud of what we've accomplished together and excited for the opportunities that lie ahead. Stay tuned for more updates and accomplishments!
