Beta Theta Pi is well-known for its scholastic achievements, both on paper and in principle. Beta was the first fraternity to adopt a 2.5 minimum GPA for a chapter (1984) and to mandate a 2.7 minimum GPA for each member (1997). We also celebrate more Rhodes Scholars (over 80 of them) and have more members listed in Canadian Who’s Who and Who’s Who in America than any other fraternity.

Our chapter in Toronto is proud of the fact that it spawned a Supreme Court judge, Justice John Sopinka who served from 1988-1997.

At our chapter house, we expect our members to concentrate on their schoolwork. Social events and other activities are always scheduled around scholastic achievement and we encourage each other’s scholastic success by enforcing quiet hours, conducting group study sessions and by helping each other grasp concepts learned in class.

To emphasize our devotion to scholastics, this year Beta Theta Pi in Toronto is awarding a $500 scholarship to a new member.
