Alpha Beta Sees Success in Academics,
Philanthropy, Recruitment, and More
A
lpha Beta had an outstanding 2015-16 academic year and plans to continue
making improvements to our chapter. This summer, the flooring was
renovated in the dining room, and the recently installed solar panels are up and
running.
We strive for academic excellence and have maintained our ranking among the
top chapters on campus for GPA and above the all-men's campus average with
a 3.3 GPA.
In the spring, we had more than 15 philanthropic events, raising more than
$17,000 for Derby Days. We have continued this philanthropic trend for the
fall, starting with Merlin Olsen Day, which was held on September 11. "We're
looking forward to raising local and national awareness for cancer research and
treatment and we want to use philanthropy as a mode of socialization between
other communities and organizations on campus," Charles Yang '18 says.
We led a very successful recruitment this semester, adding 16 new pledges
thanks to Recruitment Chairmen Aiden Rafii '18 and Markus Kytomaa '18.
These young men will go through the new Preparation for Brotherhood program
led by Magister Trent Speetzen '17.
Our chapter strives to be leaders of men, evidenced by the outstanding positions
held by our brothers. Matt Anderson '17 is the captain of the club soccer team,
Valentino Calderon '17 spent the summer maintaining Amazon's data centers,
and Matthew Thomas '17 works in the controller's office in San Francisco
City Hall.
This past semester, we won the competitive football league and are eager to
maintain our title. We have high hopes for success in intramural basketball,
dodge ball, and softball. "I think we have a great group of guys who are really
excited to get on the field and compete this semester. We are especially looking
forward to defending our title in flag football, and the creation of multiple coed
teams with various sororities," Clay Carey '17 says.
