As we move forward from this momentous occasion, we must continue our momentum to push toward our 150th anniversary and beyond. While talking with Jody, I asked him how many Delt chapters had been in continual operation for 125 years. While he did not have the exact number, he did know that it was less than five and most likely less than three. is achievement should not be overlooked, and we cannot ease up on our drive to be the best fraternity at Cornell and an example to other Delt chapters. In the coming months, the House Corporation executive board will be meeting to plan for the next five years of Beta Omicron. is plan will focus on the maintenance of the Shelter, which is now 50 years old, and will be required to have mandated upgrades in the next three to five years, as well as alumni communications, involvement, and undergraduate mentoring. We will be looking for volunteers for each of these initiatives, so if you would like to be involved, please e-mail Vice President Jeff Alfano '13, Treasurer Andrew Howlett '07, or Secretary Jeff Catalano '09. I would like to congratulate the undergraduates for welcoming three new members into the chapter and for sending four members to the A.D. White Greek Leadership Academy. is continued growth and commitment to the Greek community at Cornell is admirable and will help ensure our presence for the next 125 years. May you all have a great holiday season and if you are available in January, please consider heading back to the Shelter for our Founders' Day dinner to finish out recruitment week.
