Recruitment is vital to our Chapter, so we take this process very seriously and aim to recruit only the highest-quality men. Currently, the recruitment committee is working hard to reach out to potential new members and host summer events, bringing in another strong pledge class before the fall. Beta believes in selecting outstanding young men and making good men better.

We accept mailed checks as well as Venmo. Please email recruitment@texasbeta. org for more information. Special thanks to Craig Clayton '86, who generously donated to these funds last year.
