Having entered the Fraternity in its 71st year in October 2000, I have had the great fortune of observing in action some of the more “prominent” young Betans who were a good couple of years ahead of me, both in U.P. and in the Fraternity. New as I was, as we all were, I was fortunate that these experienced souls taught all of us younger brods, in one way or another, a thing or two about life in general, and the Beta Epsilon in particular. And as I see the old guards move ahead to their professional lives after college, and the young guns take their place, I am reminded that the glory and prestige the Fraternity enjoys today is in no small part owed to the sacrifices those resident brods, now alumni, made during their time as guardians of the Purple Tower. Here are some bits of information regarding some, though not all, of these extraordinary brods whom I have had the good fortune of knowing in my three years here in Beta Epsilon. More

Each new set of officers and the residents they led had their own priorities and goals, worked with different counterparts in BEAI, and did their part in keeping our fraternity a cut well above the rest.
