Dear Fellow CWRU Student,
Congratulations on your decision to attend Case Western Reserve University! I am sure that as you
begin packing to move into the residence halls, many questions are running through your head: “Will my classes be
interesting?”, “Will the dining hall food taste good?”, “How will I afford my books for the first semester?” Well, I
can’t address the first two questions right now, but I would like to present one opportunity to help with the third —
the Resolute Man Scholarship offered by the Beta Nu Chapter of Theta Chi Fraternity. We are offering this $1000
award to one incoming freshman man.
The process is relatively simple and painless (in fact, we hope to make it as fun as possible). Fill
out the attached form and submit your response, either by mail, internet form, or in person by August 24, 2012 at
5:00 PM. We will then contact you on August 27, 2012 to set up a short, 15-minute interview. If you have any
questions, feel free to contact Christopher Galecki, the fall Recruitment Chairman, at [email protected]. I also wish to
make clear that applying for or winning for this scholarship neither obligates you to join Theta Chi, nor guarantees
that we will extend an offer of membership.
For those who are curious, Theta Chi is an international men’s fraternity founded in 1856, with
over 150 active chapters across the country and in Canada. The Greek letters Theta and Chi stand for two words that
translate to “The Assisting Hand,” one of the many ideals of the organization that highlights our willingness to help
all those in need. Theta Chi’s maxim is “Alma Mater first and Theta Chi for Alma Mater” which means that as a
chapter we strive to be in every way a boon, and never a bane, to your academic endeavors here at Case. Our
chapter was the first fraternity at CWRU to voluntarily adopt an alcohol free housing policy (which we did in 1998).
More information about the local chapter can be found at http://thetachi.case.edu, or about the national organization
at http://www.thetachi.org. Good luck on the scholarship, and I hope to see you during Orientation!
Fraternally,
Matthew Varley
