The award was presented to the chapter at an award luncheon hosted by the Beta Graduate Chapter in Indianapolis, Indicina. Fifteen brothers were on hand to accept the awcird. The Beta Cup is awarded annually by the Beta Graduate Chapter to the chapter in Indicina which best exemplifies excellence in the arecis of scholarship, rush, socid service, graduate relations, cind intrcimurcd participation. The judges also look for a chapter that has a high degree of brotherhood. In order to be eligible for the awcird, the chapter must submit a report to the Beta Graduate Chapter documenting the chapter's efforts in these five areas. As winners, the Iota Sigma chapter wili keep the Beta Cup, a large silver bowl, on display at the chapter house for the next year.

House Improvements Continue Thanks go out to the Brothers who have continued to make donations to the "building fund" for the house. Recently we finished remodeling the second room upstairs. The walls were repaired, the ceilingplastered, and new trim put aroimd the windows. A fresh coat of paint and new carpeting made the room look great! Also we have put "new" doors on the penthouse bathroom, and the basement meeting room. The old doors were a disgrace, and the new doors are much nicer. / \ Tau Iota Foundation Meeting The Tau Iota Foundation will hold its annual meeting at 2:00 pm on SaturdayMarch 20th.

The chapter has received recognition from an objective source with our win of the 1993 Beta Cup Award. The chapter did not think they had a shot at the award, but I knew the things that we are doing here in Terre Haute would give us a good chance at the award. Our next goal will be national recogni tion this summer at Academy. The brothers are ecstatic about winning the award. To finish ahead of chapters such as Indiana University and Wabash is something of which to be proud. If you have a few moments, and would like to drop the chapter a congratulatory note, I am sure that they would appreciate it Well Pig Dinner is rapidly approaching. With the win of the Beta Cup, a good Pig Dinner is going to be even that much better. We have already heard from several of you that you plan to attend the weekend. For those who missed last year and heard how good of a time you missed, this year will be better! We plan to make Pig Dinner a weekend, not just a dinner. The weekend will start off with a meeting Friday night to discuss where the chapter is, and where it is going. On Saturday the Hospitality Suite will be open during the day at the Holiday Inn. That afternoon, the Tau Iota Foundation will hold its Annual Meeting and elections. The cash bar will open at 6:00 pm, with dinner at 7:00 pm. On Sunday there will be a farewell brunch at 11:00 am at the house. I have received a couple donations to help with the expenses of the Hospitality Suite. This suite will be open for all graduates on Saturday, and will be under my name because of Risk Management concerns. (My insur 1 ance coverage is better). If you would like to make a donation to the room, please send the check to me at the above address. Make the check payable to Iota Sigma. Well I hope that we hear from you soon, and I look forward to seeing all of you in the very near future.
