Stevens Fraternity Denouces Beth Mason, Her "Criminal-like Act"

GA just received this from a senior member and representative of the fraternity that was solicited by Beth Mason to hire 100 students to hold signs for $25 a pop at last night's debate.

To Whom It May Concern:

As you can see by my signature, I am a graduating senior and well respected member of the Stevens community and the Sigma Chapter of Beta Theta Pi. 

I would like to formally apologize for one of my brother's actions.  He did not realize what he was doing and we as a fraternity did not realize what was going on. 

I would like to propose that you kindly remove our fraternity from the article, but please leave the article in general up, so students at Stevens do not make this mistake again. 

As a student who was attending Stevens during the Peter Cammarano incident, it was disgraceful to my university and myself as I did not like the feeling in the pit of my stomach knowing that our cherished university was being linked with a criminal.  This time, the incident hits home as our cherished fraternity, that has been in Hoboken since 1879, and even lives at the original mayor's home, has now been linked with a criminal like act of Beth Mason.  

I can assure you that this will never happen again and that the Sigma chapter always has Hoboken in it's hearts and minds when it comes to giving back to the community.  We are partnered up with a local church and routinely work in their lunchtime ministry cooking and feeding the homeless in addition to helping preserve the historic church located near campus.  We also recently won an award for being the most recognizable Greek House during the Hoboken Park cleanup two Sunday's ago and were recognized by our Inter-fraternal Council with the award for organizing, running, and having the best participation percentage at the event.  In addition to that, we also have an upcoming philanthropy event where we are raising money for The Hoboken Boys and Girls Club, and as of yesterday, we have already raised nearly $500, before the event will even take place.

I hope you can please consider removing our fraternal name due to our realization of our mistake and in good faith of the pride that our chapter takes in itself, and our beloved community that surrounds it.  If you have any further questions/comment I would love to hear them and I am open to suggestions you may have for future Philanthropic events to help the city of Hoboken, as we at Beta Theta Pi are always looking to give back to our community in our striving for excellence.

Sincerely,

I had some correspondence with the gentleman, and will be making change to yesterday's post per  his request below.

Nancy,

If you could redact(redacted)'s roll number Sigma (redacted), it would be much appreciated as well. If you would like to reach me, I will be free after 5.

Best,

Yes, I will call you.  

Mason's tainted your fraternity; perhaps there's a way to keep this from happening elsewhere on your campus.
