T
he Gamma Epsilon Chapter of Beta eta Pi and Kansas
State University share a storied tradition dating back to 1914.
From our founding to the present, our proud history speaks
for itself through high academic achievement and leadership within
the university. With more than 2,000 initiates, the Gamma Epsilon
Chapter has influenced the lives of numerous men, cultivating lasting
friendships in the process. Many of our best college memories can be
traced back to our Beta experience.
While many of our alumni have gone on to successful and
distinguished careers in business, politics, animal and human sciences,
and countless other endeavors, the common bond of our brotherhood
remains, along with our shared principles and values. Most of us can
trace the roots of our success to one place: 500 Sunset Avenue.
Beta taught us the importance of the cultivation of intellect,
responsible conduct, and mutual assistance, which can now be
applied to any aspect of our lives. We were trained to be effective
leaders who believe teamwork and unwavering character help
accomplish any task. Oen, these traits have been integral to our
personal success and helped make us the men we are today.
Our chapter house at 500 Sunset Avenue is clearly the focus of Beta
undergraduate life in Manhattan. It has been a home away from home
for hundreds of young men and a classroom where our brothers
have developed into men of principle for a principled life. However,
if we wish for Gamma Epsilon to continue its strong presence on
the Kansas State University campus, we must ensure that we are
providing a safe, modern, and competitive facility. Now is the time to
secure our future.

"What a few men who are united in common
purpose and effort are determined to do,
can be done. More than that, such
associations teach us just how far human
friendships can carry us." – John Reily Knox
