T
he Beta Pi Chapter of Beta Theta Pi and University
of Minnesota share a storied tradition dating back to
1889. From our founding to the present, our proud history
speaks for itself through high academic achievement
and leadership within the University. With more than
1,800 initiates, the Beta Pi Chapter has influenced the
lives of numerous men, cultivating lasting friendships
in the process. Many of our best college memories can
be attributed to our Beta experience.
While many of our alumni have gone on to successful
and distinguished careers in business, engineering,
technology, 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: 1625 University Avenue.
Through Beta Theta Pi we not only learned the
importance of friendship, knowledge, service, morality,
and excellence, but we acquired valuable assets, which
include leadership skills, organizational skills, social
skills, teamwork, and character. Oftentimes, these traits
have been integral to our personal success and helped
make us the men we are today.
Our chapter house at 1625 University Avenue is clearly
the focus of undergraduate life for Beta Theta Pi. It has
been a home away from home for hundreds of young
men and a classroom where our brothers have learned
personal accountability, intellectual growth, responsible
leadership, and commitment to community. However, if
we wish for Beta Theta Pi to continue its strong presence
on the University of Minnesota campus, we must ensure
that we are providing a safe, modern, and competitive
facility. Now is the appropriate time to secure our future.
