Among the top 20% of college fraternities in size, Beta Theta Pi was
the first to be founded west of the Allegheny Mountains and the first
to locate a chapter west of the Mississippi River. The Fraternity
was founded August 8, 1839, at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Today,
Beta has some 130 chapters and colonies in Canada and the United States.
First fraternity to post an open constitution,
first to make a standard GPA for its members, and first to separate into
districts. Beta believes in selecting outstanding young
men and making good men better. There are countless prominent Betas
in the fields of business, education, entertainment, government, military,
politics and sports.
-"First in
war, first in peace, first in the hearts of the fellow Greeks."
Beta Theta Pi is dedicated to building
men
of principle for a principled life. Our brotherhood aids the individual,
builds the Fraternity and strengthens the host academic institution
through lifelong devotion to
intellectual
excellence,
high
standards of moral conduct and
responsible
citizenship.
IF IT WEREN'T FOR BETA THETA PI:
-
I wouldn’t
have serenaded a group of 80 women.
-
I wouldn’t
have met my best friend.
-
I wouldn’t
have felt the pride of being a “big brother.”
-
I wouldn’t
have won an intramural championship.
-
I wouldn’t
have lived and worked with so many different personalities in
search of the same goal.
-
I wouldn’t
have made it through my freshman year in college.
-
I wouldn’t
have spoken in front of 700 people.
-
I wouldn’t
have traveled across the United States and Canada with 15 of my
brothers.
-
I wouldn’t
have known that I could make a difference to so many people by
working to help The Make a Wish Foundation, The United Way, or
The Special Olympics.
-
I wouldn’t
have battled a stereotype.
-
I wouldn’t
have watched a sunrise with over 600 men I call “brother.”
-
I wouldn’t
have attended the award-winning Institute, A five-day
values based Leadership experience in Oxford, Ohio.
-
I wouldn’t
have known that I could put so much blood, sweat, and tears in
to something I love so much.
