2007-2008 Award Recipients Announced

The OH Beta Tau chapter at Baldwin-Wallace College took home the George A. Beck Outstanding Chapter Award for the third year in a row. The OH Beta Tau chapter was reorganized in 2005. Based on the contributions of a strong alumni association and recruiting men of the highest standards the chapter has had 3 years of success. The competition for the George A.
