AROUND THE QUADS
Beta Theta Pi celebrated the 125th anniversary of the founding of its Columbia chapter with a dinner in Low Library Rotunda on April 22 that drew more than 200 fraternity members, their families and guests. Ambassador Eric M. Javits ’52, ’55L, who serves as the head of the U.S. delegation posted in The Hague, Netherlands, assigned to weapons non-proliferation issues, delivered the keynote address, recalling his time at Columbia when he served as president of Beta. The chapter is the only fraternity at Columbia that still has an independently owned chapter house, a recently renovated townhouse on West 115th Street that it has occupied since the 1930s.
