ontinuing a longtime isU Greek life tradition, members participated in the Varieties competition in
February. Varieties showcases the theatrical talents of Greek members. chapter pairings prepare,
create, and perform a 16- to 22-minute skit. in this mini-musical, there is singing, dancing, acting, and
comedy. Our pairing for 2017 was Pi Beta Phi, Acacia, and Alpha Omicron Pi, and our skit was Night
at the music museum, with music from Justin timberlake, stevie Nicks, James Brown, and others.

ince i joined tKe i have been looking
for ways to help improve the chapter and
myself. After several discussions with the
previous histor, luke Peters E-2236 '19, i
knew that this position would be beneficial
in that endeavor. this semester i am trying
to bring as many alumni to visit the house as
possible; please stop in even if you're just
passing through town. i would love to get
to know as many of you as possible, and i
know others would as well. i also hope to add
at least one more large alumni event to the
calendar. if you have any ideas on this let me
know. i look forward to hearing from you.
Yours in the bond,
