Beta Theta Pi crest
Beta Theta Pi Fraternity was founded in 1839 at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Beta currently has 142 active chapters on college campuses throughout the United States and Canada initiating over 200,000 members since its founding. Known for its award-winning Men of Principle initiative, Beta Theta Pi ranks among the top 10 fraternities in North America for number of chapters, undergraduate members and living alumni. This past academic year, the Fraternity achieved a 3.23 average GPA, one of the highest marks in its nearly 180-year history.

During fall 2021, Beta Theta Pi is looking for founding fathers who want to excel on campus as gentlemen, leaders and scholars while building a genuine fraternity experience that will last for generations. Ryan Eilts, a 2019 graduate of Wichita State University and professional staff member of Beta Theta Pi, will assume the role of Chapter Development Coordinator and reside in Kennesaw for the 2021-22 academic year. Eilts will assist new members in their pursuit of the values and core principles of Beta Theta Pi: mutual assistance, intellectual growth, trust, responsible conduct and integrity.
