Ojie Alzona reports on the first Fellowship Night for 2011 of Beta Epsilon Date Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 11:23 AM Hi Brods, The grand stag was well attended despite the short notice and the day being a Thursday. There were the usual spirited chats and laughter, and welcoming of long lost or visiting brods from abroad. The residents also invited potentials who were intently listening as Brod Joe Cruz chatted with them. Six resident brods were awarded certificates of recognition for excellent academic performance and were also given cash incentives by the BE FIRST program. They were: 1. Kristian Ernest D. Ramos, BE 04B, for SY 07/08, 2nd semester, GPA 1.8611 2. Al Hanz Seiji B.

Before the stag night, the Golf Committee have raised already about P250K of hole sponsorships. Additional pledges/solicitations by brods during the night amounted to about 120K more. The target net income of the Golf Committe is a minimum of P 500k net.The proceeds of the fund drive will go to the BE FIRST program and other projects lined up by the current BEAI board. MEB Jan Arcinue also thanked those who provided support for and reported on the hard work the residents are doing to ensure the election of brod RC Resurreccion as Chair of the Engineering Student Council. Many thanks to all the brods in attendance and to those who pledged support/sponsorships for the Golf Tournament to benefit the BE FIRST program. Special thanks to our stag sponsor Sid Consunji, and Rey Salazar who arranged for the use and preparation of the venue through his staff in DMCI Homes. Brods who brought additional items for the stag were: 1. Paps Cruz 70 who brought 1 case of wine (12 bottles) 2. BEAI Prez Oca Arcinue 70 for fresh Dagupan bangus which was grilled just before the stag. 3. Ben Tansingco 85 who brought 2 cases of beer (I thought the beer was enough already before Ben brought his, but nonetheless all were consumed by the residents...they have special talents...malakas ng kumain, malakas ding uminom, kahit may classes pa the next day...di bale, basta mataas pa rin ang grades....he-he-he) Visiting brods were Chito Calingo 73 from Fresno, California (he will be DALS speaker on Monday, Feb 14 at UPCOE-Melchor Hall), and Melvin Castro 78 from Vancouver, Canada. Rarely seen brods in attendance : Dama Cid 85, and Doods Mir 87..and we hope to see more of you in the future. Pictures to follow from Mon Ramirez. MABUHAY ANG BETA EPSILON!!!!

	Two resident brods take an admiring look at the certificate awarded to Brod Al Hanz. Now, Bros, you can also easily get one and the cash gift this semester. Just study well your lessons. If MEB Jan could get for 3 semesters GPAs of 1.39, 1.63, 1.88 and qualified as University and College Scholar certainly you can also do it.

Brod RC is running for chairperson of the Engineering Student Council and the entire fraternity is backing him up in all aspects of the campaign

The fellowship that helps bind a brotherhood

This is not a stag party but a fellowship night, so Selene, BEAI's former First Lady, was welcomed by the brods



	◄ Sid bats for a candidate for UP Diliman Chancellor, Mon bats for another candidate. There are 3 leading candidates, so we should have another Betan campaigning for the third candidate. Whoever of the 3 candidates gets to be Chancellor will have a friend in Beta Epsilon ;-) Shades of trapo politics.







● Thank you, Sid, for hosting the 1st Fellowship Night of Beta Epsilon for the year 2011! ● Thank you, Prexy Oca and Fellowship Coordinator-for- Life Ojie, for organizing and attending to the myriad details of a Fellowship Night, not the least of which is contacting brods and inviting them to attend! ● May your tribe increase a thousandfold!
