As they reach out to you to discuss doing your part, please strongly consider the impact Beta had on you as a young man and its continued influence on your life. is experience is one we want to pass along to future generations of Gamma Epsilon men. e Gamma Epsilon Chapter has a storied tradition dating back to Tribe of the Sphinx and our decision to become a chapter of Beta eta Pi in 1914. Dominance in academics, intramurals, Sing, and campus leadership has placed Gamma Epsilon as the top fraternity at Kansas State, making us one of the top chapters in all of Beta's broad domain. Our historic excellence and strength attracted many of us to Beta, pushing us to surround ourselves with others who strived to be the best. For many of us, this is what made our Beta experience so meaningful and important while at K-State and beyond.
