It was unfortunate that a Chapter with such a rich history of accomplishment could not be of service to the University and Charlottesville/Abermarle communities for the past seven years. However, the Iota Beta Chapter began the long process of its "resurrection" via a January 1999 directive from Brother Samuel G. Wilson, Eastern Regional Vice President, to Brother Leo H.

This resurrection has given birth to an evolving family structure, consisting of Gamma Alpha Lambda, Iota Beta, and the Iota Beta Alumni Association.

We continue to march onward and upward towards the Light!
