6A -- Thursday, November 4, 2010 The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com * BETA From Page 1A Though the fraternity is just getting back to campus this year, Beta began a self-improvement campaign about 14 years ago, when the national fraternity "took a real honest look in the mirror and it didn't like a lot of the things that it saw," Fernandez said. Many of its chapters had seri- ous risk management problems, low academics and dwindling alumni involvement. To combat these issues, national Beta lead- ers created the "Men of Principle Initiative," which started as an option for chapters but is now a mandatory program for all the fraternity's chapters. "(The initiative) wasn't neces- sarily something new," Fernan- dez said. "It was just the same things that we are supposed to be about, but it was repackaged and rebranded." The national Beta organization closed the University's chapter of the fraternity three years ago, not for any specific reason they say, but because of a series of actions that "didn't meet" or "align" with the national organization's stan- dards, Fernandez said. "The guys weren't bad guys. They were smart; they got good grades," he said. "There were just some things that the (chapter's) culture holistically wasn't meet- ing with some of our expecta- tions." Fernandez said the chapter had repeated risk violations and failed to comply with sanctions from those violations. Fernandez said the national Beta organization wanted to return to the University because it is home to "high caliber students." In addition, Fernandez said the fraternity has an extensive his- tory on campus. The chapter is recruiting new members using both conventional and unconventional methods, Fer- nandez said. LSA senior Brett Vasicek, vice president of internal recruit- ment for IFC, said he was "very impressed" with Beta's presenta- tion last night, adding that he sees the fraternity becoming a very strong chapter. Instead of having a traditional recruitment process, the fraterni- ty is using an application process, whereby the fraternity contacts specific students and asks them if they are interested in joining. The chosen students are then given an application form and awarded bids on a rolling basis. So far 25 men have been given applications and 10 have been returned. Fernandez said officials are planning to hand out the bids by the end of this week and over the weekend. Fernandez added that the fraternity is in contact with about 150 men and is con- tinuing to contact more. LSA senior Joseph Eisman, who was at the meeting last night, said he's involved in three student organizations and co-chairs two of them, but that he's still inter- ested in joining the fraternity. Eisman said one of the hard- est parts of being a senior is find- ing an organization that utilizes a senior's unique role. He said Beta provides this opportunity by allowing him the chance mentor younger men. LSA sophomore Hari Vutukuru, another interested potential new member of Beta who is involved in four student organizations, said the chance of a fresh start that the fraternity offers is what drew him to Beta. "Having an opportunity to leave a mark or a legacy on cam- pus as well as distinguish our- selves from other fraternities on campus is what drew me," he said. "I'm interested in being a part of enhancing the Greek experi- ence and shatter the stereotype of Greek life." Vasicek said once IFC's official recruitment period ended, Fer- nandez began actively recruit- ing members. Once the chapter is established with members, it will participate in official recruitment like all the other chapters. Since the fraternity is start- ing from scratch, all new mem- bers will start from the same spot regardless of their year. The exec- utive positions will be filled by the accepted numbers in a "hybrid" form by another application pro- cess, Fernandez said. Fernandez added that one of the main goals of the fraternity is to bridge the gap between "the university life and Greek life, because sometimes, as we know, they operate separately." The organization is already on its way to fulfilling the mis- sion through creating an advisory board featuring women, other fra- ternity members and non-Greeks, Fernandez said. Another way Beta is looking to connect to the University com- munity is by offering a scholar- ship to any male that is interested, regardless of if he is involved in Greek Life. "That's something I was impressed with," Vasicek said. In addition, Fernandez said the fraternity is holding itself to much higher academic standards and requiring a minimum of 20 hours of community service to make membership more than "a mere social outlet." Additionally, members of Beta are required to be part of at least one other organization on cam- pus, Fernandez said. "Beta shouldn't define your college experience," Fernandez said. "It should be part of it, but it shouldn't define it." Fernandez said the house, located on State Street where the The Beta fratnerity house yesterday. Members are slated to move in this current "Graduate House" resides, was renovated last summer and will undergo another renovation this summer to give it a "classy" appearance, adding that the house will be completely substance-free. "(The house) is a place where hopefully men are proud to bring their parents, proud to bring their friends and their girlfriends," Fer- nandez said. "It's a place where (members) can study, where (members) can have nice things and when we have events with alcohol we're going to do it with class." Vasicek said Beta's decision is part of a trend of fraternities choosing to be substance-free. "Establishing alcohol-free housing keeps the focus on the values of the national fraternity as opposed to having big parties at the house," he said. "They also don't have to worry about some- one getting hurt or having the beautiful, historic and expensive chapter house being destroyed." Members of Beta will be mov- ing into the house next fall. The maximum capacity of the house is roughly 60, but Fernandez esti- mates it will probably have 45 members for the next few years. 0 7-ELEVEN From Page 1A there is no other 24-hour conve- nience store in the area, 7-Eleven will be a good business to have near campus. "Students know they're getting good products for a decent price," Chaconas said.. Engineering junior Cailtin Cramer echoed Chaconas's sen- timents, saying she was looking forward to having more options on campus for food and drinks. "I'm excited to have new food choices on campus, including their Slurpees," Cramer said. Benne said the 7-Eleven expe- rience in Ann Arbor will be well- suited to its customers and their demands. "7-Eleven has a sophisticated system where we know every day, item-by-item, what is selling and what doesn't, so we can constantly tailor the product mix to meet cus- tomers' needs," Benne said. Jerome Kamano, owner of Diag Deli & Pizza, which is located at 340 South State St., said he doesn't see the new 7-Eleven as competi- tion because his business provides good and fast service. Kamano added that his busi- ness has the advantage of having an already established following. Though convenience stores have come and gone in the past, they haven't affected his business, Kamano said.
