Once a Pike, Always a Pike
2021 marks Beta Mu’s 101st year in Austin. The active chapter appreciates the ongoing support of Beta Mu Alumni in maintaining a strong Beta Mu Chapter. The time, treasure and talent that our loyal Alums provide is invaluable to maintaining Pike’s place as a top fraternity at UT.
Beta Mu is pleased to re-populate and re-launch our Alumni Advisory Board. Effective September 2021 the new AAB members are J.D. Swancoat ’12 (chair), Anderson Price ’97 (education/academics); Aaron Motsinger ’07 (operations), Taylor Randazzo (risk management) and Matt Phelan ’10 (recruitment). The retiring Alumni Advisory Board’s good work is appreciated. The retiring board has earned the International Pike fraternity’s ‘Alumni Advisory Board of the Year Award’ for eight successive years, which is accorded to only 20 of the fraternity’s 220 chapters advisory boards. We owe a big thank you to past members Cody Armbrister ‘97, Chris Bean ’83, Marquez Bela ’94, Steve Dunn ‘73, Marcus Fettinger ’07, Steve Glasgow ‘82, Todd Hasie ‘81, Preston Huffington ’04, Jon Jones ’77, Russ Keene ‘80 (chairman), Gianni LaBarba ‘96, Wayne Lott ’70, Jay Messer ’69, Aaron Motsinger ’07, Connor Mowles ’07, Bill Peterson ’80, Jon Saperstein ‘07, John Scofield ’75, Jon Strieby ‘97, Jimmy Walsdorf ‘82, Barrett Wood ’98, Ken Womack ’81, and Lee Zieben ’95 for the decade of participation.
For 2021 we are organizing a new alumni entity, the Beta Mu Alumni Association, which will serve as an official non-profit organization to formalize our alumni activities to continue to support the chapter as well as deepen our ties as alumni brothers. The new entity will charge modest membership dues of $50 annually and be managed by a board of directors. Objectives for the new entity include fundraising for future undergrad scholarships recognizing academic achievement as well as some needs-based support for Pike undergrads. The Association is launching the new ‘Beta Mu Legends Alumni Awards,’ recognizing three alumni annually for service to Pi K A. And the Association will serve a fundraising vehicle for ongoing chapter house debt retirement campaigns. We envision more alumni social events, career networking, interaction with e undergraduate chapter and more, so please join the new effort to expand our alumni programming and engagement.
