Brothers,

I hope you had a good, long Labor Day weekend! Fall is in the air – which means football season is here and Homecoming isn’t too far away. I want to invite all of you to join us in Ames on October 26 & 27 for the Triangle Alumni Homecoming Weekend.

There will be a dinner on Friday, and our annual meeting, a tailgate and the Baylor game on Saturday. As we plan for the next phase of the life of our chapter, it will be important to share your thoughts with the alumni board and national staff who will be recruiting the Iowa State Triangles who kick off the next 50 years of our chapter. Triangle National Executive Director Brian Tenclinger will be on the phone for the meeting. His staff will be coordinating our re-colonization efforts in the Fall of 2013.

Please RSVP for the alumni weekend here

Of course you are probably wondering what the status is of the chapter properties. At the spring meeting held over VEISHEA weekend, the alumni who gathered were unanimously in favor of selling our properties on North Hyland Avenue and pursuing new opportunities closer to the other Greek chapter houses on the south side of campus. There had been a property for sale on Lynn Avenue owned by Beta Sigma Psi, but I’m sorry to report that the real estate gods were not in our favor, and that is no longer an option.

I am pleased to say, though, that we found a buyer for the North Hyland properties at a good price, and we just closed on the sale prior to Labor Day weekend. All of these details and will be discussed, along with board and officer elections at the fall meeting, Saturday, October 27. Hope to see you there!

In F, S, and C,

Jason Carroll
Alumni Board President

Dear Triangle Brother:

VEISHEA weekend is right around the corner, and Triangle alumni from around the country will be descending on Ames to discuss the future of our Fraternity – setting ourselves up for success for the next 50 years.

I was hoping to have more definitive news to share with you at this time, but I can tell you that a number of your brothers have been working on a plan to purchase the Beta Sigma Psi house at 223 Lynn Avenue that is currently for sale. I know this news is probably a surprise, so let me share with you how we’ve gotten to this point.
