During the 1878 yellow fever epidemic, John Young Craft, Centre 1878, succumbed to the virus yet laws forbid burial. Since his family could not travel from Mississippi, Craft’s brothers organized a midnight funeral procession and burial in the local cemetery. #brotherhood

For the second time this week, the Fraternity must deliver incredibly sad news in the passing of Founding Father Jordan “Santi” Santiago, Arkansas ‘16. Struck by a car while walking home last week, may No. 116 on the official roll of the Eta Mu Chapter forever Rest In Peace. #kai

[Continual Growth] For the third consecutive year, the Epsilon Chapter has recruited the largest pledge class of any fraternity on Centre's campus. Once the 22 men are initiated, the chapter be 75 members, meaning approximately 10% of the male student body will be Betas. #gobeta

Today, February 4, marks three years since the tragic death of Penn State new member Tim Piazza '20 - one of the darkest hours in the history of Beta Theta Pi. May Tim and his family be in the hearts and minds of all Betas as we continue to honor his memory.

[Happy New Year] What an amazing 180 years it has been for our Great and Good Fraternity! Enjoy this special message from Home Improvement’s Al Borland, played by Richard Karn, Washington ’78. Here is to a bright future for Beta in the “Roaring Twenties” and beyond! 🎉🐉🎉

[History Repeats] The men at Centre felt inspired by the brothers who came before them, so they recreated this classic photo from homecoming, circa 1984. The resemblance is uncanny, don’t you think?

[Founders Day] “At nine o’clock on the evening of the eighth day of the eighth month of the year 1839 . . .” Happy Founders’ Day to the nearly 212,000 Betas across the globe who have followed the path those eight earnest young men set 180 years ago.

Henry Snyder, Centre ’20, is pulling double duty – not only as Beta’s THIRD incoming student body president, but also as president of the Epsilon Chapter! Those Centre Betas sure are an ambitious bunch.

[Beta Theta Pi @BetaThetaPi]

Beta Theta Pi is thankful for 179 years of memories and the 210,000 brothers and countless others who have pushed this Fraternity to greatness. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

[Beta Theta Pi @BetaThetaPi]

The Fraternity is grateful each day for those who have made the selfless choice to serve their country. A happy Veterans Day and Canadian Remembrance Day to all servicemen and servicewomen. 🇺🇸🎖🇨🇦

Any chapters rolling into homecoming this weekend? Do so in style like these Centre Betas did in 1984. 🚙💨

It's long been known that the Beta Foundation works tirelessly on behalf of today's undergraduates, but after winning two awards at the NICF Foundations Seminar for Best Planned Giving Effort and Best New Development Idea, it's clear they're doing so as the best in the business.

Did you know the current Beta flag was adopted in 1902? It has three horizontal stripes of blue, white and blue, and three white, five-pointed stars forming an equilateral triangle about a red, left-facing dragon. 🐉

A new school year brings new opportunities to show off your Beta badge, so be sure you’re wearing it correctly. It’s to be worn over the heart on one’s collared shirt, NOT on the lapel of a blazer or jacket. 🐉 (📸: @shannonrstephen)

“At nine o’clock on the evening of the eighth day of the eighth month of the year 1839 ...” Happy Founders’ Day to the nearly 209,000 Betas who have followed the path those eight earnest young men set 179 years ago.

The message is short and sweet, but the messenger is larger than life. High Point’s (@beta_highpoint) Dylan Houseworth ’19, was working the Pro Basketball Combine when he captured this gem from LaVar Ball! 🏀 #GoBeta
