University of Dayton alumnus, and Brother of Gamma Theta, William Tweed and his wife, Jan, have donated $1.5 million to endow a Flyer Promise scholarship as part of a new program that removes financial barriers for high-achieving underrepresented students at partner high schools.
Tweed said he received important help to pay for his education. He had grants and loans, and worked two jobs each summer to earn money for tuition. But he also points to the help of generous people, such as the mother of one of the fraternity brothers in our chapter, who loaned him $500 in 1968, which is more than $4,000 today, when his student loan fell through because of a clerical error his junior year. And also his six fraternity brothers who paid his room and board at the fraternity house for him, for which he assisted in house duties.
He has used his experience, knowledge, and principles of the fraternity to become a beacon to the University of Dayton and the local Dayton community. Manly Deeds, Scholarship, and Love for all Mankind.
