"So far it has been great to get to know and develop relationships with a diverse group of guys that want to rebuild Beta Theta Pi. My vision for Beta is to thrive in all aspects of the Greek life while continuing to build lasting relationships with each other and those around us. I hope Beta will become an asset to Purdue University and to the community in the traditions and values we display." –Griffin Hoover '18, Refounding Father "I found it very fulfilling to be a part of the capital campaign. My experience at Beta Mu was extremely positive and provided me with lifelong relationships that I value greatly. I feel it is important to give back to show my appreciation and to make sure future Betas are offered the same opportunity." "As a parent, I have been fortunate to watch my sons follow in my footsteps and join Beta Mu (one who just graduated and another who is one of the refounding fathers). They are both actually fourth-generation Betas. It has reinforced to me the fine qualities of our Fraternity, in our past and today. I am proud to be a Beta and hope all alumni will join me in supporting the future of our Chapter." –Tom Hoover '82 56 Refounding Fathers Recruited in the Fall 2014
