Beta is coming home for its annual reunion! Join Beta brothers, Sweethearts and guests at the 185th General Convention on the campus of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Home of the Miami Triad — Beta Theta Pi, Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Chi — and the Alpha chapters of the Delta Zeta and Phi Kappa Tau, Miami is affectionately known as the Mother of Fraternities.

Visit iconic Beta heritage sites across campus, from the Beta Campanile to the Hall of Chapters to the Alpha Chapter house. Take a trip to the grave site of Founder John Reily Knox up the road in Greenville, Ohio. Stand near the spot where the founders changed the course of history some 185 years ago. In conjunction with the 25th anniversary year of the Institute for Men of Principle, mark July 25–28, 2024 on your calendar to join attendees from across Beta’s Broad Domain at the 185th anniversary celebration in Oxford.
