  “Test your strength against all others…”  
 

 

Since its founding in 1839, Beta Theta Pi Fraternity has initiated more than 160,000 university men throughout Canada and the United States. And it comes as no surprise that most of these members count their membership in Beta Theta Pi as one of the wisest decisions they ever made.

 
  Principle
In everything Betas do, there is an underlying principle of brotherhood that keeps them committed to each other, to their community and to the betterment of humankind. Indeed, brotherhood is like friendship, but at Beta Theta Pi we add a true sense of purpose where we achieve common goals through mutual aid and assistance. Whether it’s hosting a soirée or feeding the homeless, Betas always act in the spirit of friendship that contributes to a rich history of making good men better.
 
 

Experiencing Beta
At Beta Theta Pi you will become part of a wide range of experiences, suited for people of different tastes, talents, goals and aspirations. We aim to make your life better and to help you achieve the experience and support that will enable you to succeed in all aspects of life.

From September to May, you will have the opportunity to meet countless new people, fraternize with some of Toronto’s business leaders (our alumni), participate in philanthropy events, party it up with sorority girls, play intramural sports, join a group study session, help construct and maintain the fraternity house, recruit new members, and much more! Indeed, these are experiences that you would never have been able to come across as a “normal” student at U of T.

 
  How will Beta Theta Pi affect my schooling?
At Beta Theta Pi, we are committed to cultivating the intellect and believe that education is an important key to improve the individual, the fraternity and the world we live in. Therefore, we not only promote, but expect, our members to concentrate on school. Our board includes a Scholastic Chairman whose responsibility it is to ensure that proper study sessions are being held and that everyone meets our minimum 2.7 GPA requirement.
 
 

How much does it cost to be a Beta?
To join Beta there are some initial one-time costs, as well as annual dues. THERE ARE NO COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH COMING OUT TO FIND OUT WHAT WE ARE ABOUT.

The first fee is called a Pledge Fee which covers the materials and administration necessary to get you set up as a Pledge (a prospective member). This cost is $90.

Following the Pledge Period, you will become a member. There is a $250 fee attached to that, which includes the Beta badge, a membership “shingle” and a lifetime subscription to the Beta Theta Pi Magazine.

Annual membership fees depend on whether you live in the house or not. If you live in the house, then you pay no fees (it is included in your rent). And rent at the house is unbeatable at an average of $500/month.

If you don’t live in the house, annual membership fees are $250/semester.

If you have any questions about these costs, what you get for your money, and what the ongoing fees are, feel free to contact our Treasurer.
