Remembering Shelby Molter
molter

Former General Fraternity Song Leader Shelby L. Molter, Miami ’54, passed away on Friday, May 2. 


Molter undertook the task of returning Beta Theta Pi to its historic reputation as “The Singing Fraternity” as General Fraternity song leader, 1992-2000. With then-Administrative Secretary Steve Becker, Florida ’69 and others, Molter developed a totally new Beta Song Book, featuring new arrangements for four-part harmony, and helped to produce the Beta CD, The Singing Fraternity.

He led many Convention Choruses and, in recent years, coached The Beta Four from Oklahoma State. Molter received the Fraternity’s Francis W. Shepardson Award in 2005. He also served as an advisor in the recolonization of the William & Mary chapter.

UPDATE: A celebration of life will be held at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 27, at the Crosswalk Community Church, 7575 Richmond Road (at Crocker Road) in Williamsburg, Va.
