EVENT HIGHLIGHTS RELATIONSHIP CULTIVATION Free-time Before and after official Convention sessions, be sure and enjoy everything Oxford has to offer. Take a walk around Miami University’s beautiful campus, grab a bite to eat at one of the “Uptown” restaurants or simply enjoy spending time with your Beta brothers.
All-Convention Welcome Reception This is a twist for modern-day Conventions. By adjusting the program, time has been created for an all-Convention Welcome Reception that reinforces the basis upon which Beta Theta Pi was founded: friendship. Join your brothers and friends in the East Quad Lawn immediately following the Convention Kickoff for lawn games, heavy hors d’oeuvres and a glass of wine or beer. (IMPORTANT: Only credit/debit cards accepted for purchases of wine or beer. Cash cannot be accepted.) Heritage Tours Following the Recognition Ceremony, and upon departing from Armstrong Pavilion at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, the Beta Heritage Tours are your chance to soak in 182 years of history of our Great and Good Fraternity. Stationed
PG. 10
tour guides will help you explore locations such as Beta’a founding site in Harrison Hall – Room 304 (Old Main), the Beta Campanile, the recently renovated Alpha Chapter House, and the Administrative Office and Museum. Dinner will be provided at the Administrative Office and Alpha Chapter House. Movie and Popcorn Beneath the Beta Stars Following the dessert reception Saturday night, enjoy an outdoor movie and popcorn with your brothers beneath the Beta stars. Group Pictures Say GO BETA! Beta’s official Convention photographer, GreekYearBook, will take group photos on a first-come, first-served basis in front of the Beta backdrop after each all-Convention program. Beta’s photo booth will be located in Armstrong Pavilion ballroom, and images will be available for purchase online within a week following the Convention.
BUSINESS Convention Legislation Convention legislation will be at the heart of Saturday’s schedule. Lugar Fellows (undergraduate delegates) and Alumni Association delegates will conduct the business of the Fraternity, which includes voting on charter petitions, chapter reviews, Trustee elections and proposed amendments to The Code of Beta Theta Pi. One must be a registered Convention attendee to gain admittance to the legislation hall.
