Welcome and thank you for taking the time to get a first look at the Beta Omicron chapter of Beta Theta Pi at The University of Texas. I urge you to look through this website in its entirety to gather the full sense of what Beta Theta Pi stands for, brotherhood, academics, community service, leadership, social, and friendships which will last a lifetime.

“Once upon a time, there was a grove of trees in the middle of a field. One summer, a long drought ravaged all the land. The grass browned, the lakes dried up and the earth turned to dust. Nearly all the trees of this grove perished except for one which remained green and flourished. One of the dying trees asked the other, "Why is it that we have died and you have not, but have continued to grow and thrive? I beg of you. Tell me your secret of life.”

“The old tree replied, “My young friend, when faced with disaster and threats to my being, I did not let my roots curl in defense nor contain my strength to await renewing rains. When the water was gone and the earth turned to dust, I deepened my roots for anchor and found nourishment. I lifted and spread my branches, and my leaves budded and drank in more sunshine. Reaching out was the source of my prosperity.”

Proverbs of Wooglin

Throughout the first weeks of each semester we will be hosting events where we welcome men like yourselves to come and visit the fraternity house. The goal of every fraternity during rush week is to allow potential new members to get the best of idea of who they are and what they stand for. This in turn allows you to find an organization which suits you and meets your needs. We are sure that you will find Beta Theta Pi to be one of those organizations.
