During the weekend of October 18-20,1996,over 35 alumni with 15 spouses and guests , 22 undergraduates, parents and special guests attended special events on campus and at the Beta house. The weekend was highlighted by the OWU homecoming football game(although the weather and Wittenberg football team didn’t cooperate) and a reception and dinner at Welch Hall. Saturday evening’s dinner was attended by 75 alumni, undergraduates, parents and guests and featured Chairman Dick DeVos ’54 introducing several speakers: President(and Beta brother) Tom Courtice , District Chief Dave Wright , House Corporation and the undergraduates. With over 700 freshmen, the outlook for both the university and Greek rushing opportunities is very positive. Our undergraduates have a strong organization with the high academic achievement ( almost at an overall3.0 average).
Closing the weekend was a special Sunday morning service led by the Rev.W.rich’55. printed at right is “The bridge Builder” which was used by the Brother Rich as a part of his short service, with special emphasis on recognizing those who preceded us and their important legacy to those of us who followed –of particular meaning to those of us who experienced such legacies in our undergraduate experiences.
