The Alpha Mu Chapter at Baldwin-Wallace College, Berea, Ohio, was re-chartered after a 19-year absence from campus. The Alpha Mu Chapter, founded in 1939, was chartered again on January 16 with 18 new brothers initiated. The march to re-chartering began in 2006 with the formation of an Interest Group that became a Colony in 2007. The Grand Council approved the Colony for re-chartering during its October meeting.
Grand Councilor Scott Gallagher, Ohio Wesleyan ’93, awarded the chapter’s charter during the weekend activities. A number of Alpha Mu alumni attended as well as alumni from our other chapters at Purdue University and Ohio State University. Undergraduate brothers from the University of Akron, Bowling Green State University, and Stevens Institute of Technology were in attendance and several parents attended the chartering banquet as well.
Alpha Mu Chapter is home to more than 800 brothers and has produced many national leaders in Alpha Sigma Phi including Al Wise, Baldwin-Wallace ‘43 who served many years on the Grand Council and is a recipient of the 1984 Distinguished Service Award, and Dennis R. “Skip” Parks, Baldwin-Wallace, ’72, a past Grand Senior President.
