Beta Nu Leaves Mark on Spring Social Calendar

President’s ReportAs the 2010-2011 academic year draws to a close,

I am pleased to report that Beta Nu continues to advance as a chapter of Beta Theta Pi and in the UC Greek community. Chapter morale is quite high, having been recognized as a top fraternity at the Greek Life Excellence Awards Ceremony. A strong performance in Greek Week enhanced our image on campus—thanks to our growing chapter size, we were able to field teams for every event, a first in many years. Robust programming, including a busy social calendar and meaningful brotherhood events, served as a great outlet from the daily stresses of school. Ever mindful of our core values, the chapter operates with a high level of self-governance and responsible personal conduct, ensuring that our social events adhere to the guidelines set forth by the General Fraternity and Interfraternity Council. Recognizing that we are all here to receive an educa-tion, Beta Nu places a strong emphasis on academics as evidenced by our 3.2 chapter GPA; this places us as fourth out of 19 fraternities.

One of the great indicators of a healthy chapter is strong finances. Beta Nu has overcome the financial

Under the leadership of Social Chairman Phil Dinovo, Cincinnati ’13, Beta Nu had its busiest social calendar in many years. In just one month, the chapter held three differ-ent large-scale social events, includ-ing several with other members of the UC Greek Community.

“A strong social scene strength-ens the morale of the brothers,” stated chapter president James Balough, Cincinnati ’11. “We put a major focus on community service and academics, but we know that a calendar of fun events keep the brothers engaged with the chapter.”

On May 6, the chapter hosted a 3-way Pajama Party with the ladies of Kappa Delta and men of Alpha Epsilon Pi. The event started out with break-fast for dinner, or “brinner,” and was followed by a fraternity/sorority mixer at the Beta House.

On the weekend of May 20, Beta Nu traveled to Gatlinburg, TN, for the annual Spring Formal. Over 87 people, including brothers and their dates, enjoyed a fun-filled weekend in the Smoky Moun-tains. The group stayed in three luxurious cabins, with amenities such as a theater room, arcade, hot tub, pool and gorgeous mountain views. Saturday afternoon was spent exploring the many attrac-tions in the Pigeon Forge area. The formal dance took place in the evening at the Von Bryan Estate, the largest of the three cabins located at the top of a mountain. Dinner consisted of barbeque pork, ham-

burgers and hotdogs, with Kyle Mueller, Cincinnati ’13, serving as the Grill Master. The chapter spent Sunday morning cleaning and packing, making sure the cabins were left in better shape than they were in upon arrival.

Just a few weeks later, on June 3, the chapter held its annual Beta Lei party at the Beta House. This beach-themed party was a huge success, drawing a large crowd from around the campus community. Brothers Garrett Zimmerman, Cincinnati ’14, and Josh Virelli, Cincinnati ’15, each performed with their respective bands, and a DJ kept the crowd energized late into the night. The combination of live music, a professional stage and special lighting made for a great evening of entertainment. Even the House Mother, Tina, attended the party and served freshly grilled hotdogs to hungry guests.

strains of years past and now operates with a surplus, owing the success to a drastically larger chapter size. We take great pride in our home at 2630 University Court and have chosen to invest much of our extra cash back into the house. Last year alone we spent nearly $15,000 on house improvements, including both interior and exterior renovations. Some of our surplus spending priorities this summer included additional Men of Principle Scholarships for incom-ing freshmen, an increased recruitment budget to allow for traveling and frequent “coke dates,” restoring seven composites, brass letters (ΒΘΠ) for the exterior of the house, and a $1,000 commit-ment to the Tangeman Library Campaign. We also put money away in savings to supplement our fall quarter budgets.

Overall, Beta Nu is definitely headed in the right direction. While it is easy to be complacent given our many successes, we recognize that there is still ample room for improvement and we will continue to strive to be the top chapter of Beta Theta Pi and the University of Cincinnati.

Yours in _kai_,James Balough, Cincinnati ’11jamesbalough@gmail.com

Beta Nu hosts a scholarship banquet with the ladies of Pi Beta Phi.

Banquet with Brothers Program a Huge Success

Since the beginning of the 2010-2011 school year, the Beta Nu chap-ter has hosted more than five large-scale banquets in the dining room at the Beta House. In January, the brothers hosted an alumni dinner during rush week with UC President Greg Williams serving as the guest speaker. More than 80 people were in attendance, including 15 recruits and 20 alumni.

In March, the chapter hosted Kappa Delta’s Shamrock Spaghetti Din-ner. The sorority normally holds this annual charity fundraiser at their house, but their power went out on the day of the event. Ten minutes before it started, the Betas saved the day by offering to host the event at the chapter house.

In April, the brothers hosted another alumni/recruitment dinner, with UC Provost Santa Ono as the special guest. Lastly, in May, Beta Nu hosted two back-to-back scholarship banquets with Pi Kappa Alpha Fra-ternity and Pi Beta Phi Sorority. Both dinners drew a crowd of nearly 100 people.

Many brothers have put forth tremendous time and energy to make these events go off without a hitch, but ultimately we could not have hosted so many dinners without the hard work and dedication of our House Mother, Tina. Her cheerful attitude and superior cooking skills played a key role in the success of the banquets.

The chapter is excited for the upcoming school year, as we plan to host at least one special dinner each quarter—all alumni are welcome!

Alumni: Third Handle of the Loving CupSince the release of

our first newsletter in May, Beta Nu has worked diligently to improve our alumni relations program. Now that the chapter has turned things around internally, it is imperative that we rekindle our external af-fairs. As the third handle of the loving cup, alumni are a key component of the fraternity and Beta Nu is no exception.

As you read this newsletter, I hope you will ask yourself, what can I do to help the chapter? Your generous gift towards the renovation of the Tangeman Library will help us achieve our academic priorities. Perhaps more important is alumni participation within the chapter; your active involvement is what kindles a brotherhood that spans the decades. At-tend a rush event, pledge meeting, or ritual. Reach out to other alumni and share the good news about the chapter. Become an advisor. Simply offering words of encouragement and advice goes a long way.

The chapter recognizes that an effective program is a two-way street and that we have an obligation to help our alumni. Please let us know if we can help you locate a lost brother, organize a reunion, or even assist around the house.

If you are interested in getting more involved or need anything from the chapter, reach out to us on our LinkedIn and Facebook pages. Also, don’t hesitate to contact me at (614) 354-5503 or alumni.betanu@gmail.com.

Alumni Spotlight: Keeping Up With Gary VidmarBrother Gary

Vidmar, Cincin-nati ’76, started his career in construction management after graduating with a degree in Civil engi-neering. upon

graduation, he began working as a Project engineer at Danis Construc-tion Company, a position he held for three years before moving to Ft. Lauderdale, FL to work for Baker Concrete Construction. While in Florida, he opened and managed an office of 70 employees, traveling extensively throughout the state for various projects. three years

later, he moved back to ohio and formed the new england Develop-ment Company with Denis Back, Cincinnati ’73. For the rest of the 80s, Gary worked for two additional companies as a Project estimator and vice President of Construction.

in 1990, Gary started vidCon, inc., specializing in construction management. his company merged with neyer Properties in 1996 to form neyer Properties Construction; he remained a co-owner until 2001. After leaving Neyer, Gary founded integrity Group, which concen-trated on commercial construc-tion. integrity merged with Capital Construction Company in 2005 and was renamed arC Building Group. Gary retired from the private sector

in 2010 and moved into public service. he is currently the assistant City Manager of Loveland, oh and is responsible for economic develop-ment and special projects.

in addition to his professional career, Gary has made time to give back to the fraternity. he’s regularly attended Homecoming for many years and joined the Beta Nu Build-ing Company in 2001. in 2006, he took the reins from Steve Wilson, Cincinnati ’66, as President and has held the position ever since. When asked about his Beta experience, Gary said “the most rewarding part of being a Beta is reconnecting with the active chapter and alumni, and serving on the Building Company.”

outside of Beta, Gary serves on the Board of Directors for the Love-land Chamber of Commerce. he is also very involved with the Cincin-nati chapter of habitat for human-ity and has volunteered with the organization for 15 years, serving as treasurer, Corporate secretary, vice President, and President.

The Building Company: Supporting Beta Nu for 100 YearsFor nearly 100 years, the Building Com-

pany has served as a key network of support for the Beta Nu Chapter, ensuring that its un-dergraduate members have the finest dwelling of any fraternity on UC’s campus. What began as a housing committee for the Diogenes Club, the Beta Nu of Beta Theta Pi Building Company was officially incorporated on May 29, 1914. The sole mission of the organiza-tion was to acquire and hold property for the use of the Beta Nu Chapter and to construct and maintain a chapter house. In 1920 the Building Company purchased the property of O.J. Renner, determined to build a permanent home for the Beta Nu undergraduates. Ten years later, despite the economic slump which gripped the nation, construction began on a new wing of the house—this project seemed practically impossible, but the alumni were dedicated to improving the Beta Nu residence.

Over the next 30 years, the active chapter experienced its share of difficulties and suc-cesses, all the while the Building Company remained steadfast in its support of the young men of Beta Nu. Throughout the years, the alumni expended a small fortune for mainte-nance and improvements of the Beta House. By 1959 it became apparent to the members of the Building Company that it was time to completely remodel or replace the present house. After much discussion by the alumni leadership, it was decided that a new dorm wing would be required to accommodate the growing chapter. This major project was completed in 1963 and, among other improve-

ments, added a 2-story dorm wing with 20 rooms. In the years that followed, the Build-ing Company remained a key pillar of support for the Beta Nu Chapter. Dedicated alumni invested considerable capital into the Beta House and served as a continuous source of guidance for the active chapter.

The late 90s were trying times for Beta Nu and in 2000 the alumni and General Frater-nity made the painful decision to suspend the chapter for not living up to the values of Beta Theta Pi. Fortunately, just as it had in the years leading up to Cincinnati re-chartering in 1890, the alumni worked feverously to reorga-nize the fraternity. Leading the charge in this valiant effort were the members of the Beta Nu of Beta Theta Pi Building Company. Their ef-forts paid off and the chapter was reestablished in 2001. It was during this time that the Build-ing Company undertook the largest capital campaign in the chapter’s history, investing over $500,000 into the restoration of the Beta House and an even greater amount into the establishment of a scholarship endowment. The alumni provided significant advisory and monetary support to the undergraduates of Beta Nu as the chapter struggled to remain financially solvent.

Fortunately, the Beta Nu Chapter has managed to turn things around in recent years and is now self-sustaining, both in terms of finances and membership. The Building Com-pany remains a constant source of support, just as it has for nearly a century. Beta Nu is privileged to have such a dedicated group of

house for two years and served as the Assistant Treasurer, Treasurer, and President. Within the uC com-munity, he was involved with the interfraternity Council (iFC), Cincin-natus society, and army rotC. el was commissioned upon graduation and spent two years in Germany as an officer in an anti-aircraft battery.

When he returned to the united states, el began what would ultimately become a very suc-cessful entrepreneurial career. he co-founded the Ferno Manufactur-

ing Company, which specialized in patient handling. as a business owner, he helped invent the Ferno one Man Cot, which became, and still remains, the industry standard. Ferno experienced significant growth and eventually acquired its major competitor, Washington Mortuary supply Company; their two product lines were merged and the name Ferno-Washington, inc. was adopted.

the business continued to grow over the years, transforming from a small-town operation into an international company. While its corporate headquarters remains in Wilmington, oh, Ferno-Washington now operates in over 70 countries. Ferno-Washington is a family busi-ness—all three of El’s sons work for the company, with the oldest serv-ing as President. el is semi-retired and serves as Chairman.

outside of his professional life, el devotes much of his time to com-munity involvement. he is a mem-ber of the uC Foundation Board of trustees, College of Business advisory Council, and was heavily involved with the Goering Center for Family and Private Business, which was founded by Brother John Goering, Cincinnati ’56. in 2007, el participated in the Kautz alumni Masters Forum at the university of Cincinnati. some of his awards include an Honorary Doctorate from Wilmington College in 1996, the Carl h. Lindner Medal for outstand-ing Business achievement in 1997, the 2006 Beta theta Pi hall of Fame award, and the Lifetime achieve-ment award from the uC Center for entrepreneurship in 2007.

el has always kept Beta at the forefront of his interests. he has been a member of the Beta nu

Building Company since 1970, serving as President for many years. He also serves as President of the naples Beta alumni group. When the chapter was reorganized in the early 2000s, el was the co-chair of a major capital campaign. he truly lives by the international Beta creed: “once a Beta, always a Beta, every-where a Beta.”

When asked about his life experi-ences, El said, “My favorite memory is the night that Beta Nu had soror-ity girls over to the house for an ex-change dinner and I met my future wife, elaine Kunkel.” el and elaine have been married for 51 years and have three sons and five grandchil-dren. they split their time between Cincinnati and naples, spending six months at each location.

alumni looking out for us and we look forward to the many opportunities that lie ahead as the chapter continues to grow and prosper.

Tangeman Library Renovation Campaign Raises $31,535.25Beta Nu’s forward thinking has put the Tangeman Library in its

focus. With occupancy of the house increasing, and the use of this space in high demand, the Building Company and the active chapter knew that a renovation was needed. They also knew they could not undertake such a large-scale project on their own.

Renovating the library and equipping it with 21st century technol-ogy will cost approximately $37,000. If this project is to be completed, we must turn to alumni and friends for support. So far, $31,535.25 has been raised thanks to the generous donations of 56 alumni and a $1,000 gift from the active chapter. The Beta Theta Pi Foundation has established a Designated Educational Area (DEA) Fund that allows donations made for this project to be tax-deductible.

To learn more about the Tangeman Library Renovation, please visit the alumni website at www.betanualumni.com. If you would like to make your gift online using a credit card, you may do so by visiting www.betathetapi.org/gift. Please remember to specify “Beta Nu DEA Fund” in the comment section of the online form.

Recruitment Interviews Surpass 100Over 200 Applicants for Scholarships

Recruitment is in full swing as we gear up for the start of Fall Quarter. In early June, the chapter sent a letter to 2,795 incoming male freshmen to promote our annual Men of Principle Scholarship, awarded to three non-Greek students. We received over 200 applications and have interviewed more than 100 of the applicants, giving us the opportunity to form relationships with top-notch students that will hope-fully carry over into Fall Rush. In order to remain competitive, we started traveling throughout the State of Ohio to meet applicants in their hometowns. This new strategy has gone over quite well and we hope the extra effort will pay off when Rush Week rolls around.

The active chapter has worked tirelessly to recruit the best men on campus, but we need your help building a large, quality pledge class. If you know of

anyone who would make a great Beta, please send us his name and contact information. Special thanks goes out to David Beckner, Cincinnati ’50, John Graham, Purdue ’40, and Rod Hurl, Bethany ’52, for sending us referrals. This year, we would also like to involve alumni in our recruitment efforts. We are seeking alumni who are leaders in the fields of business, engineering, architecture/design and other disciplines to participate in networking events with undergraduate brothers and recruits. Lastly, we strongly encourage alumni to support Beta Nu at our Rush Week events, which run from September 30 - October 7. If you are able to offer any assistance, please contact Rush Chair Bryan Dickman, Cincin-nati ’13, at (513) 305-1109 or bryandickman9@gmail.com.
