Gentlemen:
We, the brothers of Sigma Beta Epsilon, a professional Business fraternity at Indiana University Northwest, submit for your con sideration this petition for acceptance.
Our group was formed by students in the Division of Business who desire to augment their formal education through professional programs. Through this objective we hope to better our campus and the community surrounding it. We set our standards high, in accordance with those of Delta Sigma Pi, and have worked hard to meet them.
The honor of being accepted as a chapter of Delta Sigma Pi would be of mutual benefit to all involved. We would promote the values and standards of Delta Sigma Pi; and in turn. Delta Sigma Pi could enable us to reach more people in this endeavor.
Therefore, we ask that you grant Sigma Beta Epsilon a charter so that we may establish a chapter of The International Fraternity of Delta Sigma Pi on the Indiana University Northwest campus.

Gentlemen:
I would like to recommend that the National Delta Sigma Pi Fraternity accept the Indiana University Northwest's Sigma Beta Epsilon Fraternity as a Chapter of Delta Sigma Pi. This fraternity of business majors was organized in December, 1970 and, since then, has significantly participated in many campus activities.
The fraternity is recognized as a purposeful, effective group on this campus and I believe they are most deserving of affiliation with Delta Sigma Pi .

When I was an instructor at the University of Kansas, the men of Iota Chapter made a great impression on me. The men of Epsilon Upsilon Chapter at New jyfexico State University made an even greater impression � their enthusiasm, drive, and effectiveness made my association with them as Chapter Advisor one of the most pleasant periods in my life. The men of Sigma Beta Epsilon fully measure up to the best fraternal standards so clearly evidenced by the men of Iota and Epsilon Upsilon Chapters. Within a very short space these men, many of whom will be on campus for another year or two, have taken a mere suggestion that the Division of Business needed a professional fraternity and have transformed It into an extremely forceful reality. In every step they have taken they have displayed a maturity, an awareness of consequences, and an inventiveness that signal success for their venture. I believe that affiliation with Delta Sigma Pi with its rich resources of administrative competence will greatly aid these men in their desire to be of service to this rapidly growing institution. Based on what they have done and what I am confident that they will do, I can say that they fully of their deserve your favorable consideration petition.

HISTORY OF INDIANA UNIVERSITY NORTH^VEST Indiana University Northwest is the end result of a process of growth and change that began in 19 2 2 when the University offered its first formal classes in Lake County as part of a program sponsored by the Gary Public School System. In 1932 Indiana University initiated the Calumet Center in East Chicago; and by 1939, through funds granted by the state and federal governments , the Calumet Center was serving students in the present building in Tod Park on a site donated by the City of East Chicago. When Gary College was founded in 1933 ,. Indiana University discontinued classes in Gary except for a few advanced courses. But in 19 48, at the request of the Gary School Board, the University assumed the management of Gary College, which became the Gary center of Indiana University. Gary Center classes were held after school hours and in the evenings at the Horace Mann High School until 1949, when all the main facilities of the Center were moved to the commercial wing of the City Methodist Church. In 19 55, the City of Gary sold 27 acres of Gleason Park to Indiana University for the purpose of establishing a Gary Center campus (the present site of Indiana University Northwest). In May of 1959, the first classes were held in the new location. In 1963, Indiana University reorganized its various extension centers into regional campuses, and the Gary Center and the Calumet Center became the Northwest Campus of Indiana University, with John C. Buhner as the first dean. Soon after this reorganization, the first degree programs were authorized, and the Northwest Campus became a four-year college. The first commencement was held at the Northwest Campus in June of 1967, when President Elvis Stahr presented to a class of 111. degrees graduating ^ / The present main location of Indiana University Northwest is in Gleason Park on the south side of Gary, Indiana, at 3400 Broadway. A limited academic program is also offered on the west side of Lake County at the Indiana University Northwest location in Tod Park, at 3901 Indianapolis Boulevard, East Chicago, Indiana. The Division of General and Technical Studies is based at that location. At these two settings, Indiana University Northwest serves the students and com munities of northwest Indiana and nearby Illinois. The academic program of Indiana University Northwest consists of a Division of Arts and Sciences; the Division of Business; the Division of Education; the School of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation; the School of Music; the Division of Nursing; and the Graduate Library School. Nineteen degree programs are presently offered. Indiana University Northwest is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. For the Spring 1971 semester, 4535 students have enrolled at Indiana University Northwest. The breakdown of this enrollment is: University Division-1656; the Division of Education-1454; the Division of Nursing-154; the Division of Arts and Sciences-392; and the Division of Business-391. The remaining students have enrolled in non-credit courses, or in areas where a four-year degree is not offered at this current time. ft li fM', ^ 1^^ 1 ^^^^M^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^B The southern portion of the Student Union houses a student lounge and reading room and the campus bookstore. HISTORY OF THE DIVISION OF BUSINESS The Division of Business at Indiana University Northwest was established in 1966. Consistent with the objectives of its parent campus it provides the same high level of business education that has developed at Indiana University, Bloomington. The Division has grown from 304 students, 135 full- time and 169 part-time, in 1966 to 391 students, 202 full- time, 134 part-time and 55 graduate, in 1971. To meet the needs of this growing student population the faculty has also expanded. The Division which had only 9 faculty members, 4 full-time and 5 part-time, in 1966 now has 26 faculty members, 12 full-time and 14 part-time. This expansion has permitted the Division to offer the students a more varied program. Thus allowing each student to pursue his own area of interest within his major concentration. However, a core of courses covering each of the functional areas of an enterprise is required for each student. The Division presently offers 3 major concentration areas for the degree Bachelor of Science in Business. They are: marketing, management and administration, and accounting. And in the near future it is planned that programs in finance and quantitative methods will be offered, as resources become available. In addition to the undergraduate programs the Division now offers the master 's-level program Master of Science in Business Administration. To earn the degree Bachelor of Science in Business a minimum of 123 credit hours meeting the various stated requirements is required. Of these, 4 8 hours must be in business and economics courses and at least 56 hours must be in courses other than business and economics. RESIDENT BUSINESS FACULTY Ahlf, Lloyd Robert, M.S.

HISTORY OF SIGMA BETA EPSILON The prospect of forming a professional business fraternity at Indiana University Northwest began in October, 1970, in a meeting of the Business Student-Faculty Advisory Council. This four-year-old Council, designed primarily to improve communications between students and faculty, also functions to promulgate student needs. It was particularly with reference to the latter objective that a business fraternity organizational committee was established in the October meeting. This committee was headed by Carl Veeck, chairman, with assistance from John Rajkowski, John Loscuito, Bob Farag, Ed Nalborczyk, and Wayne Fasel � all student members of the Council. In reality, the concept of the fraternity orginated several weeks earlier with the arrival of a new business faculty member. Dr. C. W. Reilly. Preceding his affiliation at New Mexico State with I.U.N. , Dr. Reilly had taught University where he had served as Chapter Advisor to the Epsilon Upsilon chapter of Delta Sigma Pi. Among his several duties in this Assistant new environment. Dr. Reilly was named Administrative for student affairs in the Division of Business and also served These factors served to as a faculty member of B.S.F.A.C. initiate within the Council the idea of founding a business fraternity with the ultimate objective of becoming nationally affiliated. Toward these ends, Carl Veeck 's group with en couragement and guidance from Dr. Reilly, started promoting the fraternity concept. Prospective members were cultivated through letters to business students and informal conversations on campus. Of greater importance was the committee's effort to formulate a program of objectives. Recognizing that a regional, commuter-type campus such as I.U.N, generally attracts students dedicated to scholarship, the committee determined that professional aims should be emphasized. The group realized that of special significance would be (1) a regular program of business speakers, (2) an emphasis on scholastic excellence, and (3) an effort as an organization to be of service to the campus and community. To provide further direction in organizing, the committee met on November 18, 1970, with John B. McCoy, Field Secretary of Delta Sigma Pi. This meeting served not only to enlighten the organizational group to the benefits to be derived from possible affiliation with Delta Sigma Pi, but also motivated Carl Veeck and the others to press toward formal organization. Thus, on December 2, 1970, a formal organizational with 30 meeting was conducted by Carl Veeck, prospective members in attendance. A program of fraternity purposes was presented. and the unanimous consensus of all present was for immediate establishment of a professional business fraternity. Re quirements for petitioning Delta Sigma Pi were reviewed, and agreement reached that ultimate national affiliation was desired. However, the membership of the newly-formed fraternity recognized that its initial task was the solidification of a local organization. Consequently, as a first step an election of officers was held with the following results: President Timothy G. Spack^ey Vice President William J. Culver Treasurer Larry Fraley Secretary Michael Cable President Spackey 's first official function was the appointment of three committees: Bylaws, Ben C. Novoa, chairman; Professional Programs and Activities, Thomas J. Pabian, chairman; and Fraternity Name Selection, William Culver, chairman. The impact on campus of the fraternity was immediate and well-received. Within the first week several members participated in the university's "Hanging of the Greens", a Christmas-theme artistic endeavor, commencing on December 6 and concluding December 8. Each campus organization painted a window display in the Student Union building. While our window showed little talent for artistic accomplishment, it did serve to promote the conception of a business fraternity. At the next meeting, December 9, Vice President Bill Culver submitted prospective names for the fraternity. The membership voted in favor of Sigma Beta Epsilon, meaning "Students for Business Excellence." To date, the brothers have not failed in any effort to strive for this ideal. Also established was the selection of Dr. Reilly as faculty advisor. In addition. Activities chairman Tom Pabian reported on a full program of up-coming service functions, all of which were accomplished as follows : December 12: High School Day at I.U.N. Four brothers -- Tim Spackey, Tom Pabian, Larry Fraley, and Chris Georgieff -- assisted in registration of prospective students and served as campus tour guides. They also manned a fraternity table to advise the college-bound youth on features of the I.U.N. business program and Sigma Beta Epsilon. December 15: Conference on Solid Wastes in Northwest Indiana. Don Kielbasa, Ron Dill, and - Tim Spackey acted as student hosts for the conference luncheon. Since the conference was attended by several prominent businessmen and citizens of the area, the presence of the three fraternity representatives provided excellent exposure for Sigma Beta Epsilon. The response of several businessmen indicated much favorable reaction to a professional business fraternity. December 18: Board of Trustees meeting at I.U.N. At the request of Mrs. Julia Eichhorn, Coordinator of Student Activities, the fraternity assumed responsibility for decorating the old Student Lounge where lunch would be served to the Board and faculty members. Brothers Tom Krafft, Mark Lamb, Andy Walla, and Larry Fraley set up the Christmas trees and other decorations. In addition, John Argus, Don Kielbasa, and Tim Spackey served as cloak room attendants, while Mike Cable, Bill Culver, Ken Fuss, and Larry Johnston cared for luncheon set up and hosting responsibilities. With the completion of these activities, Sigma Beta Epsilon had quickly established itself as an organiz^ation willing to be of service to the campus. In a letter written to the fraternity after the Board meeting, Mrs. Eichhorn said, "Because of your co-operation, the set-up for the luncheon was skillfully executed and the members who served as hosts for the luncheon " were magnificent. The first financial drive of the fraternity was begun December 16. A reasonable source of funds had been accumulated from individual organizational fees of $5.00. Hovjever, antici the Activities committee initiated pating increased expenditures , the with full a fund raising promotion. During 12-day effort, participation from the membership, total monies of $661.50 were raised. At the conclusion of the drive on December 28, the fraternity held a social activity at the Sherwood Club in Schererville. The party, which featured a local dance band, provided an opportunity to enhance brotherhood and friendship among the members, their wives and guests, and invited faculty. After payment of promotional and party expenses, the fraternity netted $445.74 from the fund raising activity. Following the busy pace of this first month of organi zation, Sigma Beta Epsilon was inactive due to Christmas vacation and first semester final exams. However, the start of a new semester signaled a new enthusiasm. A membership drive was inaugurated during the first February meeting and the roster was increased from the original 30 members to 38. Of this total, five were now in an alumni status. With the re maining core of brothers, the fraternity set its sights on the national affiliation goal. It was suggested that an objective business-like decision regarding petitioning could only be made if the organi zation was aware of alternative courses. Therefore, at a special meeting on February 23, 1971, several representatives of Alpha Kappa Psi appeared before the fraternity. Their presentation and materials were evaluated, and one week later, on March 3, a formal vote of the membership was taken. The unanimous decision was in favor of petitioning the International Fraternity of Delta Sigma Pi. Its statement of purposes expressed com pletely the aims of Sigma Beta Epsilon and potential affiliation represented the ultimate in our fraternity's desire to be pro fessionally oriented. The weeks following the voting were even more hectic than previous periods. Having indicated in a letter to Field Secretary McCoy the formal intent to petition Delta Sigma Pi, President Spackey appointed a Petitioning Comjnittee which began immediate compilation of required information. Other tasks included the adoption of chapter bylaws and election of additional officers, completed in the March 10 meeting. At that time, the fraternity approved the elevation of Bill Culver to Senior Vice President, and the following brothers were elected: Vice President Andrew Walla Chancellor Earl Spencer Historian Ben Novoa Then, in a special meeting on March 16, faculty members � were considered for fraternity membership. Five professors Dr. S. A. Brown, Dr. J. M. Kamen, Dr. R. W. Nicholson, Mr. R. W. Swanson, and Mr. K. I. Tool -- were selected and invited to join with the fraternity. The following evening, March 17, Charles conducted the Farrar, Delta Sigma Pi Executive Director, pledging ceremonies in a formal ritual held at the Gary Holiday Inn. Thirty-eight Sigma Beta Epsilon brothers were pledged, along with Dr. Nicholson and Professor Tool. Dr. Reilly assisted in the ceremony. Due to conflicting work schedules and some unavoidable circumstances several , undergraduate and faculty members were not able to be present at the original pledging ceremony. To amend this situation, Mr. T^rrar left, with Dr. Reilly, several pledge pins and a copy of the pledge ritual. This enabled Dr. Reilly to hold a supplementary pledging ceremony after the Easter break. At this time the remaining brothers of Sigma Beta Epsilon were pledged. With pledging activities out of the way, the fraternity embarked on a campaign to find speakers for professional programs. This endeavor has been very successful to date. Mr. R. E.
