Beta Theta Pi Founders

Our founder’s page is dedicated:
To the immortal eight
Who founded Beta Theta Pi in 1839;
to the sons who have followed after them
in long, illustrious line;
To the novitiates who, in days ahead,
Are to “build up” this brotherhood —
your’s and mine,
this story of an American college fraternity
is dedicated.
In—kai—
