Congratulations, Alpha Eta Chapter!

We are proud to announce that Alpha Eta Chapter of Beta Theta Pi had the highest GPA of all Fraternities at Denison University. Way to go, men! You are all proving yourselves as Men of Principle and we are very proud to call you our Brothers. 

How Would Your Life Be Different…?

“To Develop Men of Principle for a Principled Life.” It’s the mission that all Betas live by. Members learn to live by certain values and the five fundamental principles of cultivation of intellect, responsible conduct, mutual assistance, integrity and trust. But what if we had never joined Alpha Eta Chapter at Beta Theta Pi? Some of our Brothers chimed in about how their lives would have been different if they had never joined Beta Theta Pi.
