Brothers,

            As always, the entire undergraduate Brotherhood of Pennsylvania Beta hopes that this letter finds you all well, and that your summer has been all you hoped for. At the time of this letter our Chapter is preparing for the upcoming fall semester and all the events that come with it, including the beginning of classes and of course, fall rush. 

            The past year was a success from all angles.  We are the 4^th largest out of 11 fraternities on campus, have the 3^rd highest GPA, and brought in 20 new brothers and remain a diverse brotherhood representing 7 different sports.  In the fall alone we rose close to $4,000 dollars from our philanthropy events, which included the Haunted Mansion, Poker Tournament for the Nancy Cushing Daniels Fund, and ALS Golf Tournament.
