Beta Pi:
IS BETA PI BLOG WITHOUT ANY REDEEMING SOCIAL OR ARTISTIC MERIT?:
YEA . . . . or
NAY?
Beta Pi Blog’s purpose: to bring ATO, Beta Pi Chapter Brothers and ATO Gal-Pals together. The blog is not to be taken seriously - it is meant for fun.
The Beta Pi Blog is non-political. It includes
and other
time-wasters. To get there, go to web address: http://beta-pi-blog.blogspot.com

FOUNDERS’ DAY
I received this e-mail from Active Mike Brett michael.c.brett@vanderbilt.edu :
“Brothers,
Hello! I would like to invite you to join the active brothers of Beta Pi as we celebrate Founder's Day 2012.
Founder's Day honors our esteemed alumni and graduating seniors. In observance of their contributions to the fraternity, we will be hosting a dinner here in Nashville on the evening of Thursday, April 19 for alumni an actives to eat, meet, interact and reconnect.
The time and location of the dinner have yet to be determined, but I wanted to gauge interest in the event so as to better plan it. If you would like to attend, RSVP by replying to this email with your name, tentative number of guests (families are welcome) and graduation year.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to let me know. Thanks and I hope to see you next Thursday.
VTL,
Mike Brett
ATĪ© Beta Pi Alumni Relations Chairman
Class of 2013"
TO MIKE: I will do my best to make it, and hopefully Nash-bags like
Boss Stein will attend. Boss is a bank big-wig and very busy.
David Haines might attend. Haines is a government lawyer who carries the weight of the world.
Heck, Steve Quattrochi is a Tick who lives just 30 minutes away in lovely Wilson County, but he is permanently ensconced at his lake house, which prevents him from ever leaving the county.
I, Bozino Lorenzo may be the only ordinary Tick within 100 miles, but “I will endeavor to persevere.”
TO ALL: Give Mike an RSVP that you will be there at michael.c.brett@vanderbilt.edu .

WORLD’S GREATEST CONTEST UPDATE: (Check out the Contest at Archives, Febrauary or March, 2012)
Well, sadly . . . only 3 Ticks had the stones to send an entry.
Well, sadly . . . only 3 Ticks had the stones to send an entry.
Vinnie Starr voted for Rena Dabney,
Travis Parr voted against Rena Dabney on grounds of cup-size;
and Frank Biller voted for Sonny Stephenson (This was controversial, but your Judges ruled that man-boobs are legal, and logically . . .
IF Sonny had man-boobs in 72 he may have them still, thus the Biller entry is accepted).
NONE of the entries was correct, but the
Judges ruled that the subject matter of the contest was so spectacular, so unprecedented, so in-your-face great – that the contest shall remain open to additional entries.
CONTEST RULES, REDUX:
1. No Hints.
2. No prizes.
3. Your entry must not be posted to the Blog, or mass e-mailed.
4. You may not confer with other Ticks, or Gal-Pals (honor system, no cheating).
5. Send your entry by e-mail to lasimons4law@aol.com – you must guess the name of the human wearing the Vanderbilt Jersey in the photo, and put it in the e-mail. Entry must contain your name (or Tick nick-name accompanied by your real name), no anonymous entries.
6. Once a reasonable number of entries has been received, the mystery Judges will make a decision, which will be announced in the Blog.
There is still time to grow a set of stones.
“IF YOU DON’T VOTE, YOU DON’T MATTER!”

FATHER KNOWS BEST
I got this interesting e-mail from 60 year-old Oldster
Matthew J. “Don’t call me Hart!” Hart, who was escorting his spawn to the Field of Dreams, Von-da-bilt University.
“Hey LARRY,
I had a nice visit with Mr. John Stein and his son Tyler last night. Boss was nice enough to keep it to DefCon 2 with my son Mike who was on a College Tour. Attached is a photo of 2012 version of Shipwreck.

Matthew J. “Don’t call me” Hart
TO DEAREST BROTHER MATTHEW:
How wonderful of you to take time away from your historic retirement gala, to come to Nashville, to show your spawn the Sacred Halls of Von-da-bilt. May God Bless You dearest Brother Hart for not divulging to the innocent lad the horrific misogynistic nightmares you caused many a 70’s co-ed when you made repeated use of the word “wench” a famous feature at the Wales Tales Tables. May God forgive you. We shall pray for your son’s admission to the University Most High, and for his subsequent bid as a Legacy of ATO. May the Heavens be perpetually open to you, our MOST SUCCESSFUL AND FORTUNATE SON.
VTL & MDCMHS
