The Beta Alpha Mu Family, or BAM, is an original family of Zeta Iota Chapter descended from Nick Conway.

Family History

The Beta Alpha Bu Family, better known as B.A.M., was created during the Fall of 2011 semester when the Charter Class Brother Nick Conway received his first little, Travis Knapp. Travis received a great internship in North Jersey and he was not on campus for the semester. Nick then decided to apply for another little Grant Mallues. The following semester Nick fell in love with Mark McShane during the recruitment process and applied one more time to be a big. Nick received Mark as a little and Nick was happy with his family size and togetherness. Travis came back from a year absence from his internship in North Jersey and adventures in Australia and applied to become a big. This is when he found out Nick Pedano was his little. The Zeta Class is when the family started expanding again. Mark received Luigi as his little and Nick Pedano had Ryan Vance as his little. Travis helped out mentoring Ryan Vance when Nick was hospitalized and ribs were removed. The BAM Family has held several Executive Board Positions, Initiate Positions, and Executive Council Positions. Each BAM Family member has held a leadership position in the Zeta Iota Chapter.

Family Traditions

Nick Conway giving BAM-BAM to Travis Knapp

One of the biggest traditions is yelling the word 'BAM' whenever any BAM family member does something great. We also have a sock monkey we call 'BAM-BAM'. BAM Family is currently on its 2nd BAM-BAM.
