However, after meeting his soon- to-be pledge brothers, Colton's journey with Beta Eta began. "After meeting the men in the Chapter House and learning about the benefits of joining Tau Kappa Epsilon, I knew it was something I wanted to do. Due to the relationships I've made with actives and alumni, it's easy to want to stay and make Beta Eta Chapter as successful as possible." As one of the youngest Chapter presidents in Beta Eta's history, Colton often relies on these relationships for support. "My brothers have been very supportive of me, and the older members and alumni have taught me many valuable lessons from their own experiences." From learning not to rush decisions to thinking about how each action will affect the Chapter long term, Colton is thankful for the enhanced perspective this position has awarded him. "I'm more motivated to do well in everything from academics to intramurals because I want to excel in everything I do." Beta Eta affords every member opportunities to grow and learn as members of Tau Kappa Epsilon and for the future. "I've learned how to lead, manage, motivate, delegate, and many other traits necessary to being a good leader. Before joining Beta Eta, I never considered myself a leader. After spending two years as part of this fraternity, I've learned to do things that I never thought I could before." Knowing that Beta Eta comes from a legacy of excellence, Colton strives to uphold these standards daily. "I want my Chapter to be successful and I want to do everything I can to represent Beta Eta Chapter well. We have a long history of success on our campus and nationally. I want to continue that success for years to come." Only through the combined efforts of undergraduate members and alumni will this success remain possible. "Every member must be involved and motivated for a Chapter to succeed. Whether you attend brotherhood events or just stop by the Chapter House, being involved is a great way for members to spend time with others and build multi-generational relationships." Colton encourages alumni to reconnect because they are instrumental in guiding the future of Beta Eta and the current Fraters. "Tau Kappa Epsilon is a fraternity for life and being part of Beta Eta has shown me how much alumni support can lead to the success of the Chapter. This dedication makes me want to contribute even after I graduate. I hope to be involved in Beta Eta's alumni association, donate, and continue our success." Colton resides in the new Chapter House and can be reached at ckgt2d@mst.edu. "Every member must be involved and motivated for a Chapter to succeed. Whether you attend brotherhood events or just stop by the Chapter House, being involved is a great way for members to spend time with others and build multi-generational relationships."
