Congrats Steve Weissenstein ’83 – Inducted into Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame!
This past month, Steve Weissenstein ’83, head coach of the Glenbrook South women’s basketball team, was inducted into the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame. In 26 years as a head Titans basketball coach (17 with the girls and nine with the boys) he owns a career record of 443-291.
Here’s a quote from one of the articles about Steve…“A great friend of mine, Rob Judson (Gamma Zeta ’80), was the boys coach at Glenbrook South, and he helped me get a teaching and coaching job at the school,” Weissenstein said. “When he left to become a college coach in 1989, I decided to throw my hat into the ring and got the job. I was very blessed to have learned so much from Rob, as he is an amazing coach (currently an assistant at Indiana). There is no way I would have become a head coach without his tutelage, guidance, and support.”
Congrats Steve!!
Weissenstein credits Ashley for career achievement

Our Chapter Room is named after Dean. The letter gives a great glimpse into Dean and life at 1101 back in the late 30’s, early 40’s. Dean’s son Nobel is a Gamma Zeta ’77.
