The New Jersey Colony's executive board attended Keystone for the first time. It provided brothers with great insight from our advisory board and other Beta chapters, leaving us eager to continue leading the colony through its foundation phase. Chris Blakely '19, was also elected student body president! S

Our chapter is making improvements to our alumni relations and philanthropy chair positions to ensure their continued success in the future. We recently lost our brother, Neil Fachon ’19, to a rare form of cancer. In his honor, we raised $10,000 for Relay for Life.
Beta Kappa started off the 2017 school year by recruiting a class of 15 quality men, increasing our chapter size to 110 brothers. We recently raised more than $15,000 toward the Wounded Warrior Family Foundation. We are on our way to becoming the model fraternity at Ohio University.

Rho recruited an outstanding class of more than 20 men of principle, our most diverse class ever. We raised $1,000 for GiGi's Playhouse, a national network of down syndrome achievement centers, and helped host a hockey tournament that raised $10,000 for the fight against brain cancer.
With 37 newly initiated members, we are a 98-man chapter, which exceeds the campus average. We are also planning on having our most successful philanthropy to date with the first “Beta Talent Show,” which we hope will allow us to meet our goal of raising $10,000.

CHAPTER REPORTS
We participated in a campus-wide mental health awareness week, during which we aimed to spark dialogue and help reduce the stigmatization of an issue to which we can all find ties. Eight brothers were also admitted into the Kenan-Flagler School of Business, and two brothers were admitted into the Gillings School of Global Public Health.

The chapter recruited 20 men in the fall and eight men in the spring. In previous years, we averaged two recruits in the spring, so we are proud to have quadrupled that record in one year. We are making a good impact and stressing the importance of grades.

REVERENCE Ole Miss Betas interlocked hands and memorialized the passing of chapter alumnus Ken Reid ’70, and Travis Hightower, Auburn ’19, a Beta undergraduate who recently died in a car accident. Always remembering "each other's joy and grief to share," may they both rest in peace.
This year, the Zeta Mu Chapter of Beta Theta Pi won its seventh-consecutive IFC Cup during Sports Week. With brothers competing in football, softball, soccer and basketball, we were successful in both softball and soccer, sweeping both events. It was a great group effort all around (see page 14). S
