Right Beta, Wrong Frat, but He Trips Over Grip “/"\NE ot my most embarrassing moments occurred at an Indianapolls hot 3! several years ago,” writes a member of the Beta Phi Sigma Fraternity, Bloomington, Ind. * “Our organization, known as ‘Beta,’ was holding a meeting in Indianapolis. I went to the hotel and on an upper floor came to a room where a group of young men were assembled. “As I approached the door to make an inquiry, one of the men asked me wnat ‘Beta’ chapter I was from. He told me to come in, as there were several men from the Bloomington chapter. “The men in the room were strangers to me, but since our organization is national in scope, I thought nothing of that. I sat through the preliminaries of the session all right, and when introduced as a new-comer I was given the secret grip. “ ‘Say, what meeting is this?” I asked. “‘lt's Beta Theta Pi College Fraternity. Aren't you from the Indiana University chapter at Bloomington, Ind.?’ someone said. “ ‘What, another ‘Beta’ organization,’ 1 shouted. “I rushed out of the room and soon found my own brother ‘Betas’ on another floor.” Send the Fraternal Editor of The Indianapolis Times the funniest story that ever happened in your lodge.
