Connor Munsch ’19 returns as Assistant Chapter Advisor
Beta Delta alumnus Connor Munsch returned to help the chapter last spring as Assistant Chapter Advisor, working alongside longtime Chapter Advisor Keith Brauer. The chapter welcomed Connor back with open arms and is proud to have his youthful energy alongside the experience he brings as both an alumnus and former campus leader.
As an undergraduate, Connor served as Vice President of Administration and as Vice President of the Rutgers Interfraternity Council. He now brings that leadership experience back to Beta Delta with a focus on alumni affairs—strengthening relationships, inviting more alumni into chapter life and helping current brothers stay connected to the generations that came before them.
Connor’s return adds another alumnus to the team supporting today’s undergraduate leaders and continues Beta Delta’s tradition of brothers coming back to serve the chapter long after graduation.
