It is very good to get Pegis back in publication. Thanks to brother Scott Sternberg for making it happen. It has been an excellent year for LA Beta and we think even greater things are to come. We now have 102 brothers, the highest GPA for the last three semesters including an excellent 3.286 for
the Spring of ‘05, many brothers active in Student Government including the current SG Vice President, Patrick Downs, Chapter recognition from both the University (Chancellor’s Cup) and Sig Ep HQ (Excelsior Cup), and the current editor- in-chief of The Daily Reveille, Scott Sternberg. The Chapter is just beginning
to realize the benefits of the Balanced Man Program and will continue to grow and excel. Alumni and Parents, be proud and supportive!
