The Brothers of our Beta Theta Chapter are off to a good start this fall. With the chapter posting a 10-man roster (which is big for them), they also have a 6-man pledge class. During a visit from the National Chaplain on September 27, 2019, the brothers and pledges of the Chapter received a presentation on the morals and ethics of brotherhood, and also received some Fraternity promo items including Fraternity sunglasses and frisbees. Following the meeting, a wonderful Italian lunch was had at Naples Spaghetti House in downtown Steubenville.

The Brothers of Chi Chapter, founded in 1929, start off their fall 2019 semester -- and 90th year -- with a lot of excitement. The Chapter which was down to four brothers just a few years ago, now boasts a roster of over 40 brothers, many of whom share a house in downtown State College. The Chapter also received a gift of a pictorial banner, among other items to keep the celebration of year 90 going strong.

During a visit from the National Chaplain, the brothers of our SUNY Cortland Colony gathered for a dinner at a local Italian restaurant and then moved to the school for a presentation of the "My Brother's Keeper Program" on the values and ethics of brotherhood. This was followed by some fun game playing as the brothers from the Alpha Class and the brothers from the Beta Class squared off in a Jeopardy competition replete with a game board and buzzers. The final score, which came out lopsided due to a reckless final jeopardy bet, was Alpha Class 13,099 to Beta Class 1. It was all in good fraternal fun... and the brothers of SUNY Cortland showed a great camaraderie throughout the evening. 

The Brothers of Beta Iota are very excited about their 70th Anniversary. With a 70th anniversary banner and a brand new chapter composite, these undergraduate students from Utica College, are making a big deal about this big anniversary. Led by Chapter President John Blashke, the Chapter turned 70 years on April 7th, marking start of year of celebration. Congratulations Beta Iota!

The brothers of Delta Rho Chapter -- all of whom attend SUNY Oneonta in Oneonta, New York -- continue to serve our Fraternity well. They have a strong and large brotherhood, and bring a good repute to our name on the Oneonta campus. In this photo, from September 22, the brothers gather for a Chapter Dinner at a local Applebee's restaurant in Oneonta, on the occasion of a visit from the National Chaplain. On October 15, the Chapter initiated its 28th pledge class -- a class of five -- bring its chapter roster to 44. 

The Delaware Valley District held its first District Meeting of the new school year on September 10 at Rowan University. The District, which had just won the 2019 Outstanding District Award at the National Convention celebrated in a big way at this kick-off meeting of the year. The Chapters were presented with several gift items from their District Governor, including a giant-sized Pictorial Banner for each Chapter, and purple framed and tinted sunglasses. During the meeting the District reviewed the upcoming calendar events for the fall, as well as District policies. Following the meeting the brothers gathered at a local eatery for some nice Italian cuisine -- pizza!
