 Psi Diamond Appointments
Doug Miller '77 #1075
President, Psi Diamond Association
November 23, 2005
Brothers:
I am pleased to announce that Ron Varga,
class of 2002 and Jeramy DeBord, class of 1999, have agreed to join the
Psi leadership team. Ron will serve as the interim secretary and Jeramy as interim
vice president of operations, pending their formal election in the spring. In these
roles Ron and Jeramy will provide the breadth and depth of leadership needed as we
continue the re-colonization process and prepare for the re-emergence of Beta Theta Pi as
the greatest fraternity on the Bethany College campus.
Ron and Jeramy join a large team of Psi Betas who have been
instrumental in preparing for the upcoming ‘Bid Day’ in January when we will be
taking our first pledge class in three years. Their youth, enthusiasm and dedication
to Psi Chapter will be a welcome addition to our team.
Ron and Jeramy represent a ‘new’ era of Betas that
are getting actively involved in Psi Diamond. Along with Bob Kolb 99’ on the
House Corporation they will help us to better understand and communicate with the group of
young men that will become our Brothers in January of 2006. Hopefully their
involvement will spur other Brothers to get involved to make Psi Chapter one of the
strongest Alumni groups in the country.
Among other responsibilities we will be focused on three key
initiatives outlined during the Psi Diamond meeting at Homecoming:
1. Mentoring
– Identifying and assigning alumni volunteers to mentor the new active Psi Betas,
2. Internships
– Identifying alumni that can provide meaningful internship opportunities for
deserving Psi actives, and
3. Financial
Incentives – Developing a program that fosters and rewards the ideals outlined in the
Men of Principle initiative and rewards graduating Betas for excellence in academics,
stewardship of the house, and on campus leadership. The goal would be to provide
financial incentives to graduating Psi Betas that have achieved exemplary status, for
themselves, Psi Chapter and Bethany College.
A hearty welcome to Ron and Jeramy and a continued thank you
to the remainder of our administrative team for your tireless work!
Yours in – kai-,
