April 1, 2000 Initiation and Fraternal Fifties Celeberation

Saturday, April 1, 2000 marked a grand reunion and celebration for approximately 100 undergrads, and their dates, alumni and their wives, and our “stars” for the day….. six freshmen who were initiated into the chapter and 11 Fraternal Fifties recipients and their wives (or dates as the case may be!). The schedule for the day was highlighted by a […]

OWU Alumni Ifc

With membership from the alumni of each active fraternity on campus, plus the key undergraduate officers of each chapter, the alumni IFC continues to provide a guidepost and bridges to the University in many areas. Discussions concerning housing contracts, insurance coverage (risk analysis), academic performance, social behavior, rush activities, University support and other areas of common interest are primary concerns of […]

Men of Principle

During the 161st Beta Convention in Chicago in early August, I got the chance to participate in the undergraduate (mostly sophomores) training with other Beta chapter advisers for the “Men of Principle” initiative. Beta Theta Pi continues to move forward with this effort to build a greater fraternity for growth and improvement for its men. This training is an intense […]

House Improvements by Eric Eickhoff ’00

The past year has been an extremely eventful one for the Theta chapter. One area that the chapter has concentrated on was beautifying the overall appearance of the chapter house. In the past academic year members of the undergraduate chapter have not only repainted the chapter hall but have recently created a display for the numerous awards and records […]

Community Service Becoming a Priority

A primary focus of the Theta chapter for the 1999-2000 school year is a 10-fold increase in philanthropic participation. We feel that participation in these extracurricular activities promotes a sense of community that we have lacked in the past. Therefore the first semester was full of worthy philanthropic events that saw nearly full participation from each active Theta Beta. […]

Dry House Creates Change
