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 Delta Upsilon Chapter received their 2019 Chapter composite during a visit from the National Chaplain on September 26, 2019 to the campus of Robert Morris University in Moon, Pa. The 3' x 5' composite is shown here being held by some of the Chapter members. In addition each brother of the Chapter receive an individual mini-composite. 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.
