In August, nineteen fraternity brothers from the Illinois Wesleyan University chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon gathered on Diamond Lake in Cassopolis, Michigan for three days to renew old friendships and remember good times at IWU.  All of the brothers graduated from Illinois Wesleyan between 1970 and1974. They came from Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Texas, Virginia, and Costa Rica. Many hadn’t seen each other in over fifty years!  They also had a brief memorial for their brother Mike Bettasso ’70 who passed last year. A good time was had by all!
