 Recruitment
Over the month of September the Zeta
Zeta Chapter of Beta Theta Pi has been
recruiting members that we feel live our
values and principles. We set up two
weeks of rush events. The events we held
included Go-karting, volleyball, Monday
Night Football, and a number of
cookouts. The original goal set fourth for
fall semester was to recruit fifteen new
members. Although we have only
pledged in nine new members, we can
agree that these nine members, will carry
BPS Standings out the Beta Principles throughout their
collegiate career. We believe that by

recruitment and retention in the
upcoming semesters will continue to

Graduating Senior
As my years as an undergrad come to an end, the memories and
friendships that I have developed as a Beta Theta Pi will continue.
Joining a fraternity never crossed my mind before coming to college.
The stereotypes, videos, and negative publicity around Greek Life
should have been enough to drive me away, but instead I was attracted
to the lure of leadership, scholarship and volunteerism opportunities
that would hold me to a higher standard of student. I thank those
responsible for bringing me into the fraternity and introducing me to
my home away from home, which is ironic being raised in Oshkosh.
With all said and done, the experiences -- both high and low -- that I
have had because of Beta have made my choice to join well worth it.

Beta Theta Pi has kept me on track for a successful life after college.
After graduation, I plan to start my career in marketing and mass
communications. Whether I will be in Wisconsin or out of state is
something that I am unsure of. However, if there is one thing that I am
certain about, it is that my service to Zeta Zeta and Beta Theta Pi is far
from over. With that being said, I would like to leave you with a
memorable quote that has remained with me since becoming a Beta:
"He too must cross in the twilight dim; Good friend - I am building this

bridge for him.”

Jordan will be graduating as the Fall Semester comes

to a close. He has done a lot of good for this chapter,
and he will be greatly missed by this entire chapter for
his leadership and great character.
