"Joining Beta has given me the opportunity to develop my leadership ability and take it to the next level. Beta has offered me a true preparatory test of expressing to others what it means to be a gentleman, leader and scholar.  I have gained the confidence to adapt quickly to new challenges, think more critically and stand for the principles I deeply believe in.  I have also been given the greatest gift of meeting a group of guys that I have grown extremely close with."  - Chris DiNapoli, John Carroll ’09

Beta Theta Pi, often referred to simply as "Beta," is a men's college fraternity 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.

Making the decision to join Beta Theta Pi will change your life and provide a lifetime of loyal friends and career opportunties.

All members share the common belief in mutual assistance in the honorable labors and aspirations of life, devotion to the cultivation of the intellect, unsullied friendship and unfaultering fidelity. This lasting bond of friendship is cultivated by being a part of a group of individuals who share the same goals and values, constantly supporting each other in the pursuit of social, moral and cultural excellence.
