The Theta Chi Recruitment Process

A business continuation associate based in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, Taylor Hallman works for Prudential Financial. In this position, he handles all of the planning and preparation necessary for minimizing business loss in the event of an incident. Active in his community, Taylor Hallman of Franklin Lakes belongs to the Theta Chi fraternity.

Since 1856, Theta Chi has been developing programs to help college-age men become models of male behavior. Since the fraternity attracts men with values that align with its goals and mission, the organization maintains an ongoing recruitment period. This is different from the one- or two-week formal recruitment period of many fraternities.

When men join Theta Chi, they must complete an eight-week pledging period that teaches them the traditions, history, and ideals of the fraternity. During this time, pledges are given opportunities to meet chapter alumni, current members, and other new members and are encouraged to strive for academic excellence and campus leadership.

Breitling’s Superocean Heritage '57 Supports Frontline Workers

A Prudential Financial associate based in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, Taylor Hallman has a longstanding interest in watches. Active attending horology events in the Franklin Lakes area, Taylor Hallman stays current on the latest trends in timepieces. One of the most noted issues of 2020 has been Breitling’s Superocean Heritage '57 Limited Edition II in support of frontline healthcare workers.

This timely release follows soon after the Superocean Heritage '57 Capsule Collection, which was announced through digital summit, due to the impact of COVID-19. Priced in the $4,500 to $5,000 range, the original Superocean '57 Limited Edition featured a black dial. It was accompanied by a 250-watch Superocean Heritage '57 Limited Edition that nodded to mid 20th century style while offering the “pop vibrance” of brightly colored dials.

Only a month later, the same design was expanded to a 1,000 watch edition, with a portion of proceeds from each sale going to frontline health care workers in countries most impacted by the pandemic. A total of $500,000 has been earmarked to be divided evenly between a half dozen organizations worldwide, including Direct Relief in the United States.
