Service, service everywhere. Looks like VP Mauldo is setting us up with some awesome opportunities this semester, and who can forget Beta Rho's favorite Spring semester service, Scouting U. I look forward to seeing each and every one of your shining faces on the morning of March 2nd. Check the minutes for even more great things happening. 

A message on money Bros, please pay your dues this semester. Michael's deadline is Feb. 10 which is only a week and a half away! Also get in on some of his fundraising activities and finance committee so we can do more for the community. 

Semester of the Six-pack Jonathan is going to get us into shape with all these HPER classes fellowships. Of course, there's also trivia nights, which they should just go ahead and name "Beta Rho winning stuff nights". And then there's our ACD's and other food fellowships. Personally those are some of my favorite. Have any suggestions? Let Jonathon know by emailing him or going by his fellowship meetings. 

If you aren't getting the minutes, email our new tech-chair Alex at aheld@uark.edu. 

Once we get this semester going, there will be more pictures and details of how fellowship and service events went, so pass on your stories!

Don't forget Chapter is at 4pm this Sunday, and we're all dressing in pajamas. Most comfy chapter ever? I think so!
