MIKE MEYER ’71 FEELS INDEBTED TO BETA-CHI

When Mike Meyer ’71 joined Kappa Sigma he did not know the far-reaching impact it would have on his academic and professional life. Mike was involved in both fraternity and campus
activities and served as grand master for Beta-Chi. “I worked on anything I could to improve the status and image of Kappa Sigma.” In addition to campus activities, Beta-Chi motivated Mike to work hard on his academics. He received a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering in 1975, an MBA from St. Louis University in 1988, and a professional degree in mechanical engineering from MS&T in 2000.

 Following his graduation in 1975, Brother Meyer worked for Shell Oil Company before beginning a 30 year career at Anheuser-Busch Companies, where he retired as group director of brewing engineering & technology in 2008.

As an alumnus, Mike is involved with both his alma mater and his Chapter. He is a past president of the Academy of Mechanical Engineers, a member of OGS, has been involved with student recruiting, placement and advising, and has served as an ambassador promoting Kappa Sigma and fraternity life to incoming students. Mike believes it is important to support the Fraternity and its lifelong brotherhood. “Beta-Chi changed my life. It taught me humility, teamwork, leadership, and to always strive to do my best. I have made lifelong friends at Beta- Chi and will be forever in debt to our Fraternity.”

SPOTLIGHT ON STEVE MALCOLM ’70

Steve Malcolm ’70 was first introduced to Kappa Sigma by a friend, and he decided to join after attending several recruitment parties. “I met the Brothers during a couple of summer events. I liked the group I met, and the old house on State Street had a lot of character. I felt that Kappa Sig would work well for me.” Beta-Chi gave Steve many wonderful memories and lasting friendships. Some of his favorite memories include the all-night poker games, late-night bull sessions, the special party weekends, cramming for exams, participating in intramural sports, and simply the close friendships and camaraderie with the Brothers.

The men of Beta-Chi made a lasting impact on Steve during a formative time in his life. “Overall, it was a great experience, and I really enjoy it when I get to see any of the Brothers today. Last fall I played golf with Duane Vaughan ’70, and I have seen Gary Forsee ’71 several times over the past few years.

Steve is chairman, president, and CEO of Williams, an integrated energy company headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In his free time he enjoys playing tennis, reading, traveling, and staying in touch with his daughter, Rebecca, an attorney in Washington, D.C. Steve and his wife, Gwen, live in Tulsa.
