Beta Sigma Corporation

The Beta Sigma Corporation was founded in 1990. Through the following decade the corporation grew and played a role in the day to day life of the chapter. As the turn of the century approached Beta Sigma Corporation activity declined and it fell dormant.

On October 5, 2002 through an effort spearheaded by Jim Plymyer (Class of '77) a Beta Sigma Corporation meeting was held during the fall campus reunion. In attendance were:

Bruce Cloutier EE '76

Nathan Curtis ME Soph

Dave Decker BA '00

Henry Doney E '57

Evan English ME Soph (Co-Houseman)

Gary Ghertner Business '68

Pete Kullen Econ '79 MatSci '85

Bob Lynch EE '52

Tom Matteo ME Soph (Co-Houseman)

Derek Pawlikowsky IS Senior (SMC)

Jim Plymyer EE '77

Theo Reuther MMS '56

Bob Russell E '57

Josh Scott Econ '00

Noah Tanzman Business Soph

Jeremy Weinstein IS '00

Randall Weinsten Business Soph (Social)

James Wolfe ME Jr (Alumni Relations)

This meeting signaled to restart of corporate activity. Discussion surrounded Carnegie Mellon's plan for the North Campus and the replace of fraternity housing. Those present recalled the last such event in the late 1950's when the Thaw mansion was razed and replaced by the current chapter house. Nominations for the Board of Directors were taken and the groundwork for future monthly meetings using the Internet was established.
