For those of you who aren’t super familiar with Sweetheart Week, each Sorority on campus sends a candidate to run for “sweetheart” after a week of stiff competition including a bake-off, skits, and interviews, the house selects two sweethearts for the next year. The purpose of having sweethearts is to build relations throughout the Greek community, and maybe get a couple of baked goods from it. It’s also a sad time, because we had to say good-bye to last year’s Sweethearts Kelsey and Alicia, but welcomed this year’s Mary and Alaine!</p>http://gobetaumn.tumblr.com/post/27913269577http://gobetaumn.tumblr.com/post/27913269577Tue, 24 Jul 2012 12:07:03 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7o9wt2BMg1rpdupuo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7o9wt2BMg1rpdupuo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7o9wt2BMg1rpdupuo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7o9wt2BMg1rpdupuo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7o9wt2BMg1rpdupuo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7o9wt2BMg1rpdupuo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7o9wt2BMg1rpdupuo7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Well, better late than never!

Spring Jam 2012 is finally ready to get underway even though we just received three inches of snow last night! Our pairing for the upcoming festivities will be the lovely ladies of Gamma Phi Beta, and the gentlemen of Sigma Nu, Alpha Epsilon Pi, and Phi Beta Sigma. This years theme is &#8220;<span>Through the Decades</span>&#8221; we&#8217;re not too sure what that means, but we&#8217;re sure Team USA will come through anyways! There will be a Date Night Blog coming next week, as we are going ice skating this weekend weather permitting! <img align="bottom" alt="Team USA Hockey 1960" height="435" src="http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/multimedia/photo_gallery/1001/olympics.winter.usa.top15.moments/images/1960-us-hockey-team.jpg" width="641"/></p>http://gobetaumn.tumblr.com/post/18032897342http://gobetaumn.tumblr.com/post/18032897342Tue, 21 Feb 2012 17:49:00 -0500<a href="http://www.betathetapi.org/">Official National Beta Theta Pi website</a>http://gobetaumn.tumblr.com/post/18031190909http://gobetaumn.tumblr.com/post/18031190909Tue, 21 Feb 2012 17:21:57 -0500<a href="http://betathetapimn.org/">Official Beta Theta Pi Minnesota Website</a>http://gobetaumn.tumblr.com/post/18031114628http://gobetaumn.tumblr.com/post/18031114628Tue, 21 Feb 2012 17:20:44 -0500“Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.”<br/><br/> - <em>John R.
