Bethany Celebrates Halloween
with Parade and Costume Contest
The
Town of Bethany held its annual Halloween Parade and Costume Contest last
weekend. Several of the brothers of Beta Theta Pi, led by Community Service
Chairman Bob Rovnanik, prepared the Bethany Memorial Church for the
festivities. Following the Trick-or-Treaters’ parade led by the Bethany
Volunteer Fire Department, five of the fraternity's men judged the costume
contest. The Town provided cash prizes for the contestants voted the
Scariest, Most Original and Best Costume for two age groups of 0-10 and 11
and older. Attendees enjoyed homemade caramel apples, cookies and cider.
Working with the Bethany College Service
Learning Center, the Betas used this event as a service-learning opportunity
and to encourage other students to contact the Center (service@bethanywv.edu)
to learn about other upcoming events for which to volunteer.

Beta Theta Pi and Alpha Xi Delta Win Greek Week
Greek Week, a time for Bethany College’s Greek community to come together
and celebrate Greek life on campus, took place April 14-17. During the week,
chapters competed in various events ranging from dodgeball to trivia, soccer
tennis to tug-of-war and ending with Greek Sing on Saturday night with a
packed Commencement Hall. The service event for the week resulted in more
than 700 cans of food being donated to
Bethany Memorial Church. Based on the overall number of points accumulated
for winning each event (both chapters won Greek Sing),
Beta Theta Pi
and Alpha Xi Delta received the men’s and women’s Greek Week trophies,
respectively, on Saturday night. The event was planned by a student
committee comprised of representatives from each chapter and co-chaired by
Allison Winwood, senior and member of Alpha Xi Delta, and Chris Smurthwaite,
junior and member of Phi Kappa Tau.
