Week of April 5th

Friends,

This blog has been dormant for a few weeks. My apologies.

A motion was brought up at tonight's chapter to reinstate the Male Alligator as the mascot of Beta Rho. The president did not entertain the motion even though there is clearly popular support behind the reinstatement of the Male Alligator. Do not give up, brothers. A motion will be brought to the floor every week until the end of this semester until all of our dreams are realized.


Observe the majesty.
