Banquet

Spring Alumni Banquet

Beta Lambda's annual spring alumni banquet at Papa Joe's Iacomini's Italian restaurant brought together alumni, active members, and chapter leadership. The chapter was honored to welcome guest speaker Toby Roth, International President of Theta Chi, for a formal evening celebrating generations of brotherhood.

New Graduates

Mac Cantwell and Darrius Stewart

At the end of the semester, Beta Lambda graduated two brothers: past president Mac Cantwell and Darrius Stewart. A public alumni ceremony was held at the chapter house to send off our brothers with respect and to enjoy our final brotherhood of the semester with our new alumni.

Philanthropy

USO Philanthropy Week

Our philanthropy committee organized USO Philanthropy Week during the week of April 8 in the Spring semester. The main event was Pie a Chi for USO at the Jean Howard Student Union. Alongside a generous donation from The Eagles, the chapter raised more than $1,200 for the USO.

New Brothers

Tevin Wade and Roan Thomas

The chapter welcomed newly initiated brothers Tevin Wade and Roan Thomas through a values-centered process emphasizing genuine connection, clear expectations, and a respectful new-member experience aligned with Theta Chi's standards.

Recruitment

Recruitment & New Members

Recruitment continued to focus on men who are ready to participate, lead, and contribute to the chapter. Brothers emphasized authentic relationships, thoughtful conversations, and a chapter culture that expects involvement from day one.

Leadership

Summer Retreat Recap

The 2025 Summer Retreat focused on leadership assessments, values work, active listening, and service planning. Brothers came into the semester better prepared to lead and recruit with integrity.
