By Pete Celello ‘98, Chapter Treasurer
On September 23,1988, John Kennard ‘Jeff’ Eddy and William Frederick Kroner IV, both politics and government majors at OWU and brothers of the Theta chapter, were struck and killed by a drunk driver while they way returning home from a seminar at Oberlin College. Each year on the anniversary of the accident, the brothers of Theta chapter walk to the memorial erected in their honor, which stands in front of Gray Chapel, to remember them. The ceremony consists Of a few words being spoken and a rendition of ‘Beat Doxology.” The tragedy of Jeff and William remind us all of the fragility of life and of the importance we must assign to our time together at OWU as Theta Betas. We are reminded that through life and death ours is a bond that will never break. Jeff and William are forever Betas and forever in our hearts.
