Slade Sinak ’22 and John Castello ’22 receiving their bids Philanthropy Supporting Olivia’s Girl Scout Troop On February 15, 2019, Beta hosted a cookie sale for a lo- cal Girl Scout named Olivia, who has a heart condition that has required multiple surgeries throughout her life. The event was combined with a cookout in support of the Mended Little Hearts of Charlottesville and was a follow-up to events in previous years in support of Olivia and her Girl Scout troop. In total, Olivia sold 183 boxes of cookies on the day, and her entire family, the brothers of Beta, and guests had a ton of fun!

This event began as an attempted outreach by the Betas to groups within the University Community that have been historically underrepresented in Greek life. The Betas offered the use of the chapter house for a joint party to be held with the I.M.P.’s and the Student Hip Hop Organization on October 27, 2018. The event was publicized online by those organizations, their bouncers were not in place (resulting in Betas filling that role), the party size grew beyond the capacity of the house, and when Betas were entering the house while others were denied access, accusations of discrimination were made in the Cavalier Daily. The Beta statement about the event and public apology can be found at https://www.cavalierdaily.com/article/2018/11/beta-theta-pi-issues-apology-follow- ing-allegations-of-discrimination-at-recent-party. Note that the University and the General Fraternity investigated the charges and the incident. Several mistakes were made by the chapter and individual members of the chapter, including hosting a party in the chapter house where alcohol was served. As a result, the General Fraternity and the Omicron Chapter agreed to several sanctions and educational initiatives to address the various mistakes and violations of conduct. Men of Principle The selection process occurs in the fall, which involves applications, essays, and interviews with Omicron chapter brothers, ending with a brotherhood and ap- plicant banquet where the recipients of the scholarship are announced. In fall 2018, we were proud to award a total of $2,000 in scholarships to four outstanding recipients. We look forward to seeking out and meeting young men of principle in the next application period, fall 2019. The Men of Principle dinner is to be held on November 8, 2019 from 6-8 p.m. at the Colonnade Club. For more information regarding the scholarship, feel free to email our scholarship chair, Matthew Ducker, at [email protected].

  • March 2020 YEARS in the MAKING
    March 2020 YEARS IN THE MAKING In the Fall of 2018, Student Council legislation FB18-11 was passed with the goal of constructing an online handbook for transfer students at the University of Virginia. This initiative was continued in Fall 2019 with the passing of FB19-15. The following, “An Unofficial Transfer’s Guide to Grounds,” outlines essential information about steps to take and helpful suggestions before and after transfer students arrive at the University of Virginia. This handbook was completed by UVA transfer students in an effort to share institutional and cultural knowledge, as well as their first-hand accounts of their experiences at UVA. In order to reflect the current needs of incoming and current transfer students, this collective effort falls on us, the transfer community, to maintain and represent accurate information. The version history of the current handbook reflects the many iterations it has undergone and will undergo. If you see any outdated information or have suggestions for future versions, please email [email protected]. To all transfers - new and old - welcome to the University of Virginia! We are thrilled to have you on grounds! The unique challenges that many UVA transfer students face can often lead to confusion and unwarranted stress, especially in their first semesters. The Transfer Resources Committee created the following handbook, which consists of compiled UVA and non-UVA resources, perspectives from different transfer students, and difficult-to-find academic and social information in order to help alleviate confusion and stress. Additionally, we hope that this handbook will act as a platform to amplify the transfer student voice.

An Analysis of Techniques Used to Manage Historic Open Spaces on Two Suburban American University Campuses Abstract As more and more Americans are attending higher educational institutions, the built environment of these places is becoming relevant to a larger number of people. To many graduates familiar with a university, its ensemble of buildings and spaces have the ability to stir up a sense of personal meaning associated with a past era in their life. It is important to preserve these campuses, by maintaining resources that already exist and protecting them from inappropriate change that would diminish their integrity. The physical environment of a university is often an icon of the school. The school's community as well as the public associates the architecture and landscape of a school as part of its identity.
