Join Beta

The men of Beta Theta Pi consistently strive to elevate the standards of the Greek community.  Through a steady recruitment of well-known and well-rounded men, the USD Chapter of Beta has developed into a locally and nationally acclaimed chapter.  Previously, the North-American Interfraternity Conference recognized our chapter with the Award of Distinction, the highest honor for any fraternity chapter in North America. The awards and recognitions are fantastic, but what do they mean? It means we are doing many of the right things and have some great individuals..

 The USD Fraternal Rush period begins soon and provides an opportunity for all prospective members to discover the organization that best suits their talents and interests. We Betas stand for many things, but leaving a lasting brotherhood is among the highest of priorities. We are so proud of what we have done so far, and look forward to new members taking part in our journey to better ourselves, our brothers, and our communities. Our members are  looking forward to meeting many new men who wish to join our brotherhood.

If you have any questions or would like to learn more about this fraternity or our rush process, please contact our VP of Recruitment at rush@sdbeta.org.

Sincerely,
Ryan Kirschner, Vice President of Recruitment
