Hunter Rolf, Nathan Lynch, Travis Jackson, Josh Krueger, Zach Wallace, and Rico Leyva-Okazaki all had the opportunity to experience the John and Nellie Wooden Institute for Men of Principle. Every year Oxford, Ohio becomes populated with Betas from all around America as well as Canada. The award-winning John and Nellie Wooden Institute for Men of Principle is an incredible opportunity for initiated Betas that focuses on the ritual of Beta Theta Pi and becoming a better leader. The Wooden Institute allows Betas to interact with brothers and Friends of Beta from across North America. Participants share ideas, dissect Fraternity ritual, partake in challenging activities that focus on leadership skills, learn more about the history of Beta Theta Pi and reflect on the Fraternity’s heritage. These six men are excited to take their experience and share it with the rest of the chapter at UMKC.
