2023 Spring Newsletter
This newsletter is going to be a mix of a 2022 recap and a preview into 2023! We closed out this semester with 35 active brothers including a new class of 16 from this past spring. A few of which now hold positions on the Executive Board. Our e-board includes President Dave Frost, VP CJ Timmeroni, Treasurer Michael Greenburg, Risk Manager Michael Conrad, Secretary Blaise Wagner, House Manager Christian Pescatore, and Pledge Ed Jake Laifer. This past fall semester our Rush Chair, Pasqaule Vizzioni, did a great job as we are expecting another large new class.
Our brotherhood carries a gpa of 3.39. As you may or may not know, the Sigma Chapter currently includes members of the Stevens wrestling team. In regards to wrestling, the team finished 5th in the country and 2nd academically. This historic season was topped off with Beta’s own Brett Kaliner at 149 lbs going undefeated the entire season and becoming Stevens first ever wrestling national champion. We are currently halfway through the season with scheduled home matches February 4th and February 11th. Wrestling is great and all but more importantly… We are INTRAMURAL FLAG FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS!!! This is our second consecutive year as champions as we took down TX and Sig Ep in the playoffs and we are in the process of creating an everlasting dynasty.
812 Castle Point Terrace has received a completely updated kitchen and new letters above the porch, pictured below. If you’d like to help continue improving the house we are taking donations via our chapter venmo @sigmabetathetapi. We’d really appreciate it. In regards to philanthropy, our previous Philanthropy Chair, Travis Jones, led many events in the fall semester. The two biggest events were Bingo with Beta raising $600 for domestic violence and Movember raising $1002 for the Cully Strong foundation.
We are really trying to get more active with the Sigma Chapter Linkedin. The chapter wants everyone from new grads to older guys looking for jobs to have the opportunity to take advantage of our network. We strongly encourage alumni to post different job or internship opportunities that may be available for recent graduates and the actives. In addition, look out for Senior Highlights that’ll be posted the second week of February. We will also be more active on the facebook group where newsletters will be posted. Follow our Instagram @beta_stevens for updates and see what the brothers are up to. The links to join these groups, follow our instagram, and the website will be attached below.
Finally, we have a lot of alumni related events planned for the next two semesters. These include:
Alumni open bar planned for Saturday April 8th at Willie Mcbrides in Hoboken, which will also include a buffet.
The annual alumni golf outing is planned for Saturday June 24th at Berkshire Valley Golf Course and will include a dinner buffet after.
The alumni BBQ is going to be June 3rd at the house.
We’re also going to have the 4th annual alumni reception at the house October 1st!!
And the last event of 2023 will be the Alumni Thanksgiving Dinner in November.
We’d really appreciate it if you fill out the google form attached so we can get a rough head count and gauge general interest for these events. We’re also trying to see interest for other possible events, like an alumni softball game this spring and a poker event in the fall, which are also included on the google form. All the specific details about the events including RSVP links will be posted across our social media so keep an eye out!
