Brothers Outperform Butler Fraternities Chapter Earns Top Results in Academics, Membership, and Campus Involvement M idway through Beta Zeta's 138th year on Butler's campus, it is a great time to reflect on the chapter's accomplishments and future vision—testaments to our sustainability, strong brotherhood, and continued pursuit of excellence. Few ΔΤΔ chapters, or Greek chapters for that matter, have such a rich history as we do here at Beta Zeta. From attaining the top fraternity GPA this past fall, raising $36,299 at TRIKE and $8,331 during Delt Dunk (all proceeds benefiting the Matt White Cure ALS Foundation), and a successful initiation of 42 new members, Beta Zeta has much to celebrate. BROTHERS HEAVILY INVOLVED IN BUTLER ORGANIZATIONS This spring, Beta Zeta has been heavily involved in attending and raising awareness for Butler University Dance Marathon, Polar Plunge, Week of Service, and Relay for Life. As a chapter, we require our new members to be involved in at least one organization before they are initiated. For this requirement, we are proud to say that we have 100 percent of our new members in some sort of on-campus organization. Not including the new pledge class, Beta Zeta has 96 actives brothers, and of these, 69 hold campus leadership positions. BUTLER UNIVERSITY TOP 100 Each year, the university compiles a list of 100 students to create Butler's Top 100 list of students. The students are graded against the core values of the program to make grading not biased toward any specific major or type of student. BZ proudly has seven active brothers listed in this year's Top 100: Andrew Thompson '18, Nathan Villiger '18, Patrick Holden '20, Timothy Ahlersmeyer '17, Sam Thomas '17, Clayton Taylor '17, and Jordan Galligan '17. THANK YOU, ALUMNI Nothing that we do here at Beta Zeta on a daily basis would be possible without the powerful support of our alumni and families. Our alumni tirelessly invest not just their finances, but their time and talents to the Shelter we are all proud to call home. You all make what we do possible. I speak on behalf of the entire chapter when I say that we sincerely and gratefully thank you. We look forward to meeting you during your next visit to the Shelter.
