Life on Staff
Members of Beta’s staff are jet setters and road warriors, event planners and strategic thinkers, coaches and facilitators. They influence the Fraternity’s future each day, whether from the Administrative Office in Oxford, Ohio or on the ground directly working with undergraduates and alumni across North America. Regardless of the role, employees frequently describe the staff culture as familial, caring, supportive, driven, dynamic, challenging, unique and fun. The staff invests in Beta Theta Pi, and in return, the Fraternity invests in its employees’ personal and professional development.
“By the second convention in 1847, it was generally agreed that a central executive agency was required.”
Post-Beta Careers
Several Beta staff alumni have pursued careers in higher education, but most have not. Many have attained advanced degrees (in industries ranging from business to medicine) or become employed by North America’s most esteemed employers. Furthermore, with the tenures of several current employees now exceeding 20 years, others experience the Beta staff lifestyle and never look back.

401(k) Plan
