Can you believe it? A whole century has passed! Beta Chapter is not just back on campus—we’ve been thriving for 100 incredible years. To mark this monumental occasion, we're pulling out all the stops for a day of celebration you won’t want to miss.
Picture this: a feast fit for a king, complete with a mouthwatering pig roast, succulent chicken, and all the classic sides—potato salad, pasta salad, coleslaw, baked beans, roasted vegetables, and, of course, creamy mac and cheese. But that's just the beginning.
We’re honored to have presentations by distinguished alumni, along with special appearances by members of the Sigma Pi National Headquarters and other esteemed guests. This is a day for the history books, and we want you to be a part of it!

Join us on October 12th. Dr. Roger Robison, ’58 will be presenting his much-anticipated history of Beta Chapter at 3:30pm on October 12th as part of the 100th Anniversary Celebration.
Dr. Robison graduated from Frankfort High School in 1954, where he was an active participant in tennis and football, competing in the prestigious North Central Conference. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry from Indiana University in 1958, followed by a Doctor of Medicine degree from Albany Medical College in New York in 1963.
His military service began as a General Practitioner at the Merchant Marine Hospital in New Orleans. Following this, Dr. Robison worked as a General Practitioner for Kaiser Permanente in Oakland, California—the first Health Maintenance Organization (HMO)—while his wife pursued her master’s degree at the University of California, Berkeley. From 1966 to 1970, he completed his residency in Internal Medicine and a fellowship in Hematology-Oncology at the 1,500-bed Veterans Affairs Hospital in Long Beach, California.
Upon returning to Bloomington, Indiana, Dr. Robison entered private practice and served as an assistant to the medical director of Indiana University’s satellite Medical School program. After nine years, he relocated to Houston for advanced training in radiation therapy at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Subsequently, he became the Director of Radiation Oncology at Terre Haute Regional Hospital (1981-1992) and Good Samaritan Hospital in Vincennes, Indiana (1987-2007).
He retired in 2007 at the age of 70 but continued to practice medicine as a locum tenens physician until 2022. Throughout his career, Dr. Robison developed a particular interest in radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy for thyroid cancer, X-ray treatment for benign diseases, and prostate brachytherapy. He has authored over ten journal articles, a monograph, and several books, with a focus on the history of radium therapy and biographies of pioneers in the field.
Dr. Robison is board-certified in three medical specialties and has held leadership positions in numerous organizations, including serving as president of the Indiana High School Basketball Historical Society.
He also may or may not have been involved in "borrowing" the old oaken bucket.
Really not the old oaken bucket...
