Wow, 1983... that was 24 years ago...
My memory of 1983 - you DID say 1983, not 1883? ... Well, that was the last convention at the Woog... er, I mean the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, and the centennial of the time when C. J. Seaman went around talking "Clubhouse!" to any Beta he encountered. I must say that it was great; no convention, except perhaps the major anniversaries at Oxford, compares to those at the Grand Hotel... so MANY Beta memories there...
RE Indiana U - it's possible there may be some details in the convention minutes from that era (if they still exist). Sorry I can't recall more detail about it just now.

Yes, I did say 19 83. And yes, the convention was at The Grand Hotel.
IU (Bloomington, IN) does still exist. It is the Pi Chapter. I was at Terre Haute, IN at Indiana State University - where Larry Bird played basketball.

Why yes, I did mean Indiana State - that error was not intended. Sorry.

I think the ECU chapter is working hard, as always, to foster chapter relations with other schools.
The undergraduates are planning to assist the Duke chapter with their initiation rituals in November.
Our chapter has had a good relationship with the UCF Betas, seeing as we play them every year in football. No matter which school hosts the game, the other school sends a delegation to enjoy the tailgating and game.

The John Carroll Colony has been helped immensely by our sister chapter of Case Western Reserve University (Lambda Kappa-Beta Chapter). They assisted with our first recruitment, Pledge Ceremony, and will be in charge of our Initiation Ceremony in Oxford next month.
My fellow Founding Fathers and I are thankful for their efforts and assistance, and our Brothers at CWRU have told me they are glad to have a Beta colony close by for future cooperative activities!
It is wonderful to have these inter-chapter relationships. They are what keeps our fraternity in its prime. Assisting a new colony in its founding and helping your neighbor chapter in its hour of need can help the chapter a great deal!
Remember, You are your brother's keeper!

Back when I was an undergrad, we only had like two chapters within a moderate driving distance. Once in awhile we would get together and do something (besides conclave)...but the chapter personalities were so different that it made it difficult.
I respected them as Beta's and it was cool to meet Beta's from other schools...but I probably would not have joined their Beta Chapter.
Looking back, I do wish we would have made more of an effort to visit with other chapters though.
