Dear University of Connecticut Student:
On behalf of the Beta Theta Pi Fraternity, welcome to the University of Connecticut! This year you will no doubt encounter new challenges and opportunities that will help shape your college experience and lead to future success in life.
Beta Theta Pi believes that college men should be recognized for their success and for their desire to achieve. In fact, for more than 175 years, we have been in the business of building Men of Principle. Beta strives to provide strong relationships as well as leadership opportunities and personal development. For many of our members,theseskillshavetransferredtoprofessionallife.Youhaveprobablyheardofsomeofthem... Wal- Mart Founder Sam Walton, Legendary Basketball Coach John Wooden, Nike Founder Bill Bowerman, Baseball Great Mike Schmidt, Retail Guru Bruce Nordstrom, and Sportscaster Neil Everett, to name a few.
In hopes of providing these same opportunities to our campus, the Zeta Chi Chapter of Beta Theta Pi at UConn is offering scholarships totaling $500 designated by the Beta Theta Pi Foundation for non-Greek male students at University of Connecticut with no obligation to join the fraternity. We seek to reward men who demonstrate devotion to intellectual growth and a commitment to making both the university and community better places to live.
If you are interested in the scholarship, I encourage you to complete the online application at http://uconn.beta.org/scholarship/ by February 7, 2016. Again, by applying for the scholarships, you are not committing yourself to membership in Beta Theta Pi or any other organization.
If you should have any questions, please contact me at patrick.a.smith@uconn.edu. I look forward to receiving your application and meeting you soon!
Sincerely,
Patrick A. Smith.
Scholarship Chairman
Beta Theta Pi Fraternity – Zeta Chi Chapter at University of Connecticut
