CREATING MEN OF PRINCIPLE AT PURDUE
Beta Mu's Vision:
To re-establish campus dominance in scholastics, athletics, and leadership by
attracting, retaining, and developing the best young men on Purdue's campus.
Guiding Goals:
• Create the preeminent fraternity house on Purdue's campus
• Develop Men of Principle through ongoing education and
participation in Beta national leadership initiatives
• Establish the funding necessary to invest in a
scholarship that will differentiate Beta from other fraternities
• Recruit the top incoming freshmen
• Accomplish and sustain a 3.0 average undergraduate GPA
• Achieve financial independence and proactively plan
for future needs
• Graduate Beta Mu members who are Men of Principle and will
benefit the greater community as leaders
What has changed since the introduction
of the Men of Principle initiative in 1997?
• The average chapter GPA has increased by
11%—2.83 to 3.15 on a 4.0 scale.
• The average chapter size has increased from 49 to 67.
• Beta Theta Pi has increased advisor support
per chapter from 1.8 to 7.
• The number of leadership development experiences available
to undergraduates has been greatly increased.
A
t the forefront of our plan for Beta Mu will be the Men of Principle Initiative that so many of our fellow Beta Theta Pi chapters across the country have
adopted to bring success to their own campuses.
