Among chapter activities were the Initiation Banquet with Professor Bennett Weaver, of Michigan University, as speaker; an evening Founders’ Day meeting; a series of national preparedness articles compiled by Beta Gamma to appear in “The Crucible” bi-weekly at the request of the faculty National Defense Committee; and a Pledge Service in April for next year’s members, elected by the faculty.
