Each year in the spring, for the past 9 years, we get together at my family\u2019s home \u201cRetreat\u201d on Captiva Island, FL. The long weekend includes \ufb01shing, boat rides, relaxing by the pool, nice dinners, and a little bit of healthy mischief. Inevitably, we will all talk about the stories from back at the house and usually at some point in the trip, former chorister Mike Dowgiewicz will lead the group in a few Beta tunes. A good time is had by all, and we are all looking forward to next year\u2019s 10-year anniversary, which is sure to be a \ufb01ne time.<\/p>\n<p>In the earlier years the group was much larger and one year included almost 30 brothers, but girlfriends and others now \ufb01ll many of their spots.<\/p>\n<p>The group pictured (from L to R) includes Ben Harrison \u201998, myself \u201998, Levi Levingston \u201997, Ramsey Mahjoub \u201998, and Mike Jan Dowgiewicz \u201998. Usual fellow Theta Beta attendees, Aaron Seil \u201998, Dan Hawks \u201999, and Jeff Gallo \u201901, couldn\u2019t make it down this year due to other con\ufb02icts, but I\u2019m sure they will be able to work it in next year.<\/p>\n<p>Just wanted to share a little example of how the Theta brotherhood (and a great vacation spot) keep friends together, and for those who had ever made it down to Captiva for Spring Break hopefully this brings back a fond memory or two.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thetachapterbtp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/01\/A-Beta-Tradition-at-Szambeckis-Captiva-Island-Retreat.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-9951\" alt=\"A Beta Tradition at Szambeckis Captiva Island Retreat\" src=\"http:\/\/thetachapterbtp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/01\/A-Beta-Tradition-at-Szambeckis-Captiva-Island-Retreat-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetachapterbtp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/01\/A-Beta-Tradition-at-Szambeckis-Captiva-Island-Retreat-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thetachapterbtp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/01\/A-Beta-Tradition-at-Szambeckis-Captiva-Island-Retreat-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March 24, 2005 The picture below is of a group of Theta Beta\u2019s who have been going on \u201cSpring Break\u201d since our day\u2019s back at OWU.
