Fresh from a trek to beautiful Normal, IL, for Illinois State's Homecoming, I can report that Beta-Omicron has associated 19 (possibly 20) men.
What struck me as unusual was the number of local recruits...I believe they had 5 guys from the Normal-Bloomington area, which is a throwback to my days as a UG.
Naturally, chapters experience an ebb & flow w/their recruiting - back in the dark ages of the mid-70's, we had a few guys who hailed from farm towns. This made it easy to have a hayrack for a Homecoming float
Most of the current Beta-Omicron chapter members come from the Chicago suburbs, so it's a lot harder to find somebody who'll go home, butcher a pig & bring it back for a pig roast (this sort of thing is frowned upon in the 'burbs). Ironically, all of the local roasters we tried to locate for this past weekend were spoken for, so we actually got one from the 'burbs.
In ZAX,
BF
