My favorite law school prof is a Nebraska Beta who graduated the year before the guy. From what I understand, so many of the guys from that chapter in that time period were VERY successful

Nebraska always has been, and continues to be, one of our strongest chapters.

Congrats to the Nebraska Beta's.

That's great, but I don't envy him working at the UN. Things there are so highly politicized, almost nothing ever gets done.

(I ran a contract for my parent company there last summer)
