By Chris Ingram, President of Theta Delta Alumni Association
Brothers, as many of you now know, we were all disappointed with the suspension of the Active Chapter’s charter last school year. With more than 127 years of history and 2,466 initiated alums behind it, the Theta Delta Chapter is entrenched in strong traditions and has an exemplary legacy. Keeping with that tradition, many of our alumni have already stepped in and begun working tirelessly to ensure that the Active Chapter can be restored to its rightful prominence.
We hope to officially begin the recolonization of the Chapter in January 2014. However, this effort will require both substantial improvements to the Beta House and our direct assistance in recruitment. Therefore, expect to hear from us over the coming months as we band together to bring Beta back to Ohio State. We will need both your time and financial support. We have all benefited from the bridge that was built for us at 165 E. 15th Ave.; we hope you can help build that bridge for the next generation of Theta Delta Betas. In the meantime, please join us at one of our upcoming social gatherings.
