beta leading the way

Betas have long believed that true brotherhood is built through shared social experiences that facilitate trust and deep, meaningful relationships. Betas also believe that finding this sense of home within the Fraternity is best achieved when a chapter’s environment closely aligns with the organization’s values. It is in that spirit that the Board of Trustees adopted a Substance-Free Housing Policy in 2003 for all re/colonizations.
In February 2018, that policy was amended and expanded by the Board of Trustees, then affirmed and moved into the Beta Theta Pi Risk Management Policy by order of the undergraduate and alumni delegates at the 179th General Convention. These updates are to be carried out in two phases across multiple years, with all Beta homes becoming substance-free by August 2020.
