Past Chapter Presidents

The Colin Dolehanty Tripod Scholarship

This award is named for a Beta Sigma Chapter Charter Member, Colin Dolehanty, who selflessly dedicated his life to the advancement of the Beta Sigma Chapter and the opportunities it affords the men and women of Michigan State University. He was also a man who demonstrated the ideals of the Fraternity: scholarship, leadership, and fellowship. After his untimely death, Colin's parents decided to give back to the organization for which he loved and cared. Each year at the Beta Sigma Founder's Day Banquet, the Dolehantys award this scholarship to the Chapter Brother who best exhibits the ideals of scholarship, leadership, and fellowship.
