[It's Good, for Good]
Inducted as a new member at Texas just days ago, Connor Kacena-Merrell ’30, is already doing good as a Beta. The freshman nailed a 33-yard field goal to win a historic $1.2 million on ESPN's College GameDay, however he only walked away with half. Connor dedicated half to support Building Tomorrow, an Indianapolis-based non-profit focused on improving education access in Africa, which he began supporting during high school.

What's better than one kick? Connor's third kick attempt of the day had the energy of 105,000 fans behind it for another chance at a million dollars for philanthropy.

[Continuing the Legacy]
Brother Luke Taylor, TCU ’24, was born six weeks after Flight 77 crashed near his father's office at the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, killing him. When he was two, his mother lost her fight with breast cancer. Growing up with the American flag folded on the bookshelf, he was determined to honor his late father and carry on the family's military legacy. Both his father and uncle — his adoptive father — were commissioned into the Army by their father. He joined ROTC when he arrived at TCU and since rose to the rank of second lieutenant; now he's pursuing Army Rangers.

He first shared his story in the 2021 PBS Documentary "Generation 9/11," featuring seven stories of those growing up in the wake of tragedy. Last year, he was a special guest at the September 11 remembrance event at the Pentagon, and was noted in the remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Like at so many campuses across Beta's Broad Domain participating in similar events, his Eta Eta Chapter brothers carry on the tradition of the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb with the ROTC to honor the victims of the terror attacks.

[We Remember]
A pair of investment traders were preparing for the day’s work in the North Tower. Three floors separated a mechanical engineer and a rising company executive in the South Tower. There was a budget analyst working for the Department of Defense at the Pentagon. They were all Betas.

Five brothers were among the 2,977 who perished in the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. We honor their memory today and their heroic spirits live on. Once a Beta, Always a Beta. Twenty-five years later, never forgotten.

[Virtue Stands Alone]
The semester is in full swing and its the first for Samford as a duly installed chapter in nearly 150 years. Earlier this year, the charter of the Alpha Mu Chapter returned to Birmingham at its Installation Ceremony — complete with a Beta quartet and a special tribute by the men to welcome Chapter Counselor John Gillespie, Auburn ’76, into the chapter roll. Welcome back, brothers!

[All Because of Eight Men]
"It was the eighth day of the eighth month in the year 1839, and there were eight of them." On a day like today, some 187 years ago, those earnest young men changed our lives and this Great and Good Fraternity will continue to change lives. Happy Founders' Day to all who wear the badge and bear the name of Beta Theta Pi!

[Running Down a Record]
While a new world record was set in the mile this weekend, nearly 70 years ago it was Beta's own Don Bowden, UC Berkeley ’58, making headlines. In 1957, he became the first American to note a sub-four minute mile with a time of 3 minutes, 58.7 seconds. The third fastest time in the world at the time, the 20-year-old was the youngest of 12 men to break the four-minute barrier at that point, doing so on a clay track and without a pacesetter.

Later in the same season, he was crowned the NCAA champion in the 880 yard with a time only four tenths off the then pending world record. His record came less than a year after his Olympic debut in Melbourne, Australia.
