"Again, the Beta is distinguished from all other kinds of fraternity men whatsoever
by just a little warmer and stronger, just a little tenderer and more enduring fraternity feeling
than any of them can attain to. For it was always so, I do not in the least know how
it happened, nor why it persisted after it happened, but a long time ago there came into
Beta Theta Pi a fraternity spirit that was, and is, and apparently will continue to be, unique."
– Willis O. Robb, 1879
