Saturday April 20, 2013 - Senior Day

Last saturday, the Brothers got together to celebrate 16 wonderful seniors! Lindsey and Kat, the Beta Kappa Historians, hosted Senior day at the Woodlands clubhouse. There was plenty of food and fun to go around, including a few games of pool.  This semester, Beta Kappa will be gaining 16 awesome alumni:

  • Grace Fredrickson
  • Elizabeth Hafner
  • Theresa Hafner
  • Liz Herlihy
  • Caroline Herlong
  • Izzi Hernandez-Cruz
  • Luke Hibdon
  • Chaney Hiers
  • Trevor King
  • Katlyn Kirby
  • Emily Lavender
  • Ryan Lengel
  • Lauren Rampey
  • Danielle Robinson
  • Avery Shawen
  • Jamie Willis

Once again, the graduating seniors received paddles painted by Kat and Lindsey to show our appreciation.  Even though we’re sad to see them leave, we’re confident that they will succeed in all of their future endeavors! Best of luck seniors, you will be missed!!

Sunday April 14, 2013 - Committee Chair Elections

The votes are in and Beta Kappa has selected these Brothers as next semester’s committee chairs (from top left):

  • Awards and Scholarship: Charmaine Jenkins
  • Finance: Aubrey Toadvine
  • Initiation: Emma Jackson
  • Social: Lisa Andriate
  • Service: Stephanie Konruff
  • Public Relations: Mitchel Colebank (the only brand new Brother to be elected a committee chair!)

We’re all looking forward to seeing what events these chairs come up with. Good luck everyone! 

Friday April 12, 2013 - MAD MEN FORMAL! 

After over six months of planning, Mad Men formal finally happened! There were old school decorations, a great dinner, a photo booth with props (some of them hand made!), candy cigarettes for everyone, an awesome photographer, and a great DJ who played the perfect mix of Mad Men era music and modern club music! 

This event went really smoothly and ended up being really fun! Thanks go to Kat Clark for planning formal, but not without the help of the formal committee who helped plan, decorate, and run this event! 

(This is just a sampling of the photos - there are a ton more on the Clemson University Phi Sigma Pi Facebook page, which you can see here). 

Wednesday April 10, 2013 - Beta Kappa inducts 36 new Brothers!

After weeks of ICMs, Fun Nights, Brother Meetings, interviews, and just generally getting to know the potential new Brothers, 36 amazing men and women of the Alpha Nu class were inducted into Beta Kappa. 

Beta Kappa is happy to welcome to these new people and is looking forward to seeing how well they immerse themselves into life as full-fledged Brothers. 

Also, many thanks to Ryan and Lauren, this semester’s IAs, who did an amazing job with such a large group of people. Great job! 

April 7, 2013 - Self-Defense Class
Today some of the Brothers attended a self-defense class at Fike Gym, taught by the Hapkido club. As a part of this A&S event, Brothers learned various basic moves to ward off an attacker, sparred with one another, and broke wooden boards with their fists!

March 24, 2013 - Eboard Elections! 

This past Sunday Beta Kappa elected their Executive Board for next year. We’ve got some old faces (Courtney, Chase, and Kat) and some newcomers. It’ll be great to see how this group works together and runs the chapter. 

The new E-board is as follows:

  • President - Amber Hackler
  • Vice President - Courtney Connelly
  • Recording Secretary - Corinne Duvall
  • Corresponding Secretary - Charlene Lyon
  • Treasurer - Brittany Zaremba
  • Parliamentarian - Jordan Elder
  • Historian - Lauren Ball 
  • Initiate Advisor - Kat Clark
  • Initiate Advisor - Chase Burbage

This coming year is going to be particularly interesting because we’ve consolidated the two historian positions (Written and Fellowship) into one and the IAs are now elected on a semester long basis (which is great for Chase and Kat who are graduating in December). Can’t wait to see how this works out for Beta Kappa!
