“My fondest experiences at Miami and my lasting relationships are centered around the Alpha Chapter of Beta Theta Pi at Miami University. My Beta sweetheart, Gail '81, and Miami Merger enjoy many of these friendships together. My sophomore roommates at 200 East High Street were at our wedding and are lasting best friends. Our son is an Alpha Beta '08. Our experiences in some ways were different for him a generation later, but the fraternal bonds made are strong for our son too. Yes, it is extraordinary that he is a legacy. Still, more importantly, he experienced Beta's Men of Principle, leadership opportunities, and lasting brotherly friendships. Our daughter is an Alpha Beta sweetheart and Miami Merger with our son-in-law Alpha Beta '10. We are an Alpha Beta-Miami family who treasures our lasting Beta bonds. We also value making new Beta relationships. For me, Beta was a big part of my Oxford experience and continues to grow in many meaningful ways with alumni, actives, and their families. Love and Honor.”

“Miami has been a special place for our family and relatives for nearly 70 years. Walking into the Beta house, the first night of rush as a freshman in 1979, I knew it was a special place with special people, and I wanted to be an art of that.”

“I consider being an Alpha Beta, a pivotal cornerstone of my development as a young man. Coupled with my overall Miami experience, my Miami Merger/Pinmate/spouse/best friend wife, my experience as a US Army military intelligence officer, Beta was a hallmark foundation block that set me on a path for my entire life. The bond of a group of brothers, their influence, academic discipline, Greek culture, athletic, moral and scholarly pursuits, and social engagement provided me with the confidence and direction to enter my life's path most clearly... During my course of fraternal life in Oxford, Betas were the campus leaders, excellence in all aspects of Greek life, athletically, socially, academically, and morally. It was this sense of character and the influence of several upper-class Betas that led me to the house to begin with. I never considered another fraternity.”

“My years in the Beta House at 200 E. High were the best of my formative years. I watched, listened, and learned from the older brothers and grew along with my pledge brothers. We attained great success athletically, academically, and in the service to our school and community. It was a balanced, collective approach that I believe all young men would prosper from experiencing.”
