Brother Isaac Baker of the Beta Eta Chapter at Indiana University delivered a strong performance during the Little 500 spring series, earning a tie for third place in the men’s Miss N Out competition. Baker’s podium finish came in one of the premier lead-up events to the iconic Little 500 race weekend, showcasing his determination and competitive spirit as anticipation builds for one of campus tradition’s biggest events.

It’s been an exciting year for our brothers at the Beta Eta Chapter at Indiana University. In addition to the IU’s recent victory in the CFP National Championship, Beta Eta Brothers E.G. White and Will Simmonds both took home their own hardware this past fall during IU’s 2025 Office of Sorority and Fraternity Life Awards. Brother Will Simmonds (left), the collegiate chapter’s Marshal and Alumni Relations Chairman, was named the 2025 Greek Member of the Year. Past Regent and Sigma Nu Hall of Honor Brother E.G. White (center) received two major honors: 2025 Chapter Advisor of the Year and the Herman B Wells Greek Alumnus of the Year. Fun Fact: The last time IU won the Big Ten Championship (1967), Brother E.G. White was an All-American offensive lineman for the Hoosiers. He played alongside fellow Beta Eta Chapter Brothers John “Iso” Isenbarger and Bob Russell. Also pictured: Collegiate chapter Commander Nick Hesch (right).

Hi Rickety and congratulations to Beta Eta Chapter Brother Joe Buck on winning the 2026 Ford C. Frick Award.

Brother Buck has been a national voice of baseball for more than a quarter-century. He is the second-youngest winner in the award’s history. Brother Buck was inducted into the Sigma Nu Hall of Fame in 2004.
