FRIENDSHIP GAVE OUR ORDER BIRTH ...

Betas are called to cultivate deep and purposeful relationships to sustain a thriving Men of Principle experience. This is more important than ever as the need for genuine connection and belonging has never been more profound. The Foundation’s investment in the Beta Brotherhood Assessment keeps a sense of belonging at the forefront of how we support the work of the Fraternity. Betas also believe that men are mutually obligated to help others in the honorable labors and aspirations of life, which is at the core of being a good brother. This act of brotherhood is on display here as we highlight this year’s merit and needs-based scholarship recipients.

54 chapters received need-based scholarships that aided 144 Beta brothers in need.
64% of collegians report paying for their experience out of pocket. 490 tuition scholarships were granted.
96 Merit Scholarships – totaling $125,000 – were awarded to Betas and children of Betas.

BETA BROTHERHOOD ASSESSMENT

The Beta Brotherhood Assessment serves as a critical tool that is used by collegiate officers, volunteers and staff to help set goals and strategically work to foster a strong sense of brotherhood across Beta’s Broad Domain. The assessment aligns directly with the Fraternity’s strategic plan and reports on measurements in four main areas of brotherhood: solidarity, shared social experiences, belonging and accountability. At the General Fraternity level, it drives changes in educational programming at events like the Miller Nichols Chapter Presidents Leadership Academy and support from chapter development consultants.

FOUNDERS SCHOLARSHIPS

Each of the Founders Memorial Scholarship recipients received $2,425. These scholarships were endowed by an estate gift of Robert C. Lafferty, Ohio Wesleyan 1928.
