Volunteering for Beta
Volunteers are at the heart of Beta Theta Pi. Today, more than 1,000 brothers and Friends of Beta are taking the Fraternity’s chapters, alumni associations and the General Fraternity as a whole to new heights. By giving time and talent, volunteers play a crucial role fostering an environment that promotes personal development and academic excellence. And you won’t do it alone; in addition to having a team of veteran volunteers to support you along the way, Beta’s Administrative Staff provides resources for your success, including training sessions and opportunities to network with fellow volunteers.
“Serving as an advisor allows me to develop skills and strengths I don’t always have a chance to utilize in other areas of my professional life. Through sharing my own perspectives, identities and ideas, I can help foster a sense of belonging and inclusion within the fraternal space for our young men.”
Jeremy Moore, Colorado ’21
Chapter Counselor at Colorado
Friends of Beta
The community of Beta volunteers is made up of members and non-members alike, and everyone’s unique perspectives and contributions are valued. Together, they support the young men seeking brotherhood, personal growth and a sense of home from the fraternity experience by advancing Beta Theta Pi’s universally admired mission, vision and core values.
“Coming from a well-established Greek organization myself, I understand the importance and impact a healthy brotherhood can have, and I want to make sure these men get the most out of their time in the chapter. My professional experience allows me to help the chapter create meaningful and successful events, and foster strong relationships.”
Philip Heil, Alpha Tau Omega
Former Programming Advisor at Vanderbilt

“I serve as a volunteer for Beta Theta Pi because, as an undergraduate, the Fraternity shaped my character in a way that I feel compelled not only to give back, but to provide the same opportunities to today’s youth. I believe the principles of our Fraternity hold a special ability to transform lives. I have two teenage boys; I want the Beta experience that they one day encounter to be a rich one and I understand that creating a rich future is dependent on alumni like me investing a part of ourselves into the effort.”
John Smid, Toronto ’99
Northeast Regional Chief
