50 YEARS!
JOIN US IN THE CELEBRATION OF 50 YEARS OF BETA-NU!
Beta Nu Zeta of Lambda Chi Alpha became a chapter when it received its charter on May 20, 1972. The Alumni Association will be hosting an event in 2022 in honor of the 50th anniversary of that momentous occasion. We are hoping to make this the largest gathering of alumni from across the past half century! That is only going to be possible if you make plans to join us.
This event will take place in Melbourne over the weekend of April 29- May 1, 2022. Details will be posted below and will be updated as we firm things up.
The chapter will also combine their annual
White Rose Formal
with our 50th anniversary celebration to make this a truly memorable event for all!
(Sponsor an active Brother today!)
WHEN:
The celebration will be scheduled over the weekend of April 29 - May 1 (Fri night, Saturday, Sunday). The Spring semester is over after the first week in May so it had to be before then so the active brothers could attend.
WHAT IS HAPPENING:
The schedule of events is as follows:
Friday Night (4/29/22) Friday evening will be our first opportunity to get together. Please plan on making your way over to Bill & Dee Welychko’s (BN-91) where we will take the opportunity to sit around the fire pit in the Tiki Bar and start telling tall tales and catch up on lost years. Drinks and Hors d’oeuvres will be served.
5:30 PM till ????

WHERE:
The main venue for the event will be the Hilton Melbourne Beach Oceanfront, 3003 North Highway AIA, Melbourne. This is the only venue capable of handling a dinner for a large number of people.

The Hilton also owns the nearby DoubleTree Suites, 1665 N. State Route A1A, Melbourne, which could be an alternative for those not wishing to stay at the Hilton.
Alumni are of course free to stay wherever they please!

Hotel : We have arranged for a Group Rate with the Hilton as shown in the table below. ( Alumni Association members who have paid a dinner deposit will be given priority for these rooms rates. Not a member, sign up now!)

SHOUT OUT VIDEOS
We are putting together a SHOUT OUT video which will be a compilation of videos submitted by any and all alumni who would like to do a SHOUT OUT to everyone on our 50th anniversary as a chapter.
The video should be a selfie in which you introduce yourself with your name, zeta number, class of (Year), etc. and a short (under 20 seconds) message you would like to shout out to all alumni on this momentous occasion. Your video will be joined with all the other videos submitted to make one memorable and historical documentary. The final video will be posted for all to view.
If the video is less than 25 Mb in size you may be able to email it directly to betanufounders1972@gmail.com. If you cannot email it then send an email to the same address to receive upload instructions (or to ask any other questions).
