WA 99362. Ever since its recolonization several<br />
yearsago, Washington Beta has been afraternity<br />
on the move. This year was no exception as it<br />
continued its growth and success. Areas that were<br />
particularly successful this year were philanthropy,<br />
msh, and scholarship,<br />
Washington Beta continued a new tradition this<br />
year with its third annual Teeter-Totter-a-Thon,<br />
We raised more than $1000 for the American<br />
Diabetes Association, The fratemity also<br />
168<br />
continued its participation in the Adopt-a-Highway<br />
program in which members periodically clean up a<br />
portion of highway near the College, Other<br />
activities included a car wash and a bike-a-thon to<br />
raise money for a local women's abuse center,<br />
Washington Beta has been growing steadily<br />
overthe past several years, and thisfall marked<br />
the largest pledge class since the recolonization.<br />
We pledged 20 <strong>Phi</strong>kieas, and we did not<br />
surrenderquality forquantity, Washington Beta<br />
pledged members who will contribute positively to<br />
the success of the chapter,<br />
Washington Beta has not been so successful<br />
in scholarship in the recent past. This year,<br />
however, marked a dramatic change. The new<br />
scholarship program and hard workfrom the<br />
brothers and <strong>Phi</strong>kieas, moved Washington Beta's<br />
GPA from last to firstamong fraternities in the fall<br />
semester. Our GPA was 3,19, and we are now in<br />
the process of working hard to maintain that<br />
number one status.<br />
Even with these successes, however, we<br />
continue to strive for success in all areas of<br />
chapter life, —Matthew Levin<br />
