Welcome from the President |
|
This is
the
official website of the Omicron Chapter of Beta Theta Pi at the
University of Virginia. The Chapter was founded in 1855
and was most recently re-colonized in 2007. We invite you to
learn more about our history and lore at the University of Virginia
and nationwide.
Welcome to the
Omicron Chapter of Beta Theta Pi at the University of Virginia! We
in Beta Theta Pi consider ourselves above all else brothers and
friends, but commit ourselves also to being gentlemen, scholars,
servants, and leaders. I invite you to explore our website and learn
more about a fraternity steeped in history and tradition, energized
by a common vision, and constituted by a diverse group of 59
outstanding college men.
--Patrick McDonald, Chapter President

Betas are Men of
Principle and hold ourselves to a higher commitment. The
mission of this initiative includes cultivation of the intellect,
responsible leadership, lifelong friendship, responsible social
conduct, and a commitment to community. More than merely a
list of attributes, this higher commitment leads to a framework for
success, such as being rated as the Best Fraternity for CEOs by Forbes
Magazine in 2003. For more on Men Of Principle,

Scholarship and Cultivation of the Intellect |
Brothers of the
Omicron Chapter place high value on "cultivation of the intellect".
We invite distinguished speakers and hold regular study hours. In
addition to committing ourselves to academic pursuits, we recognize
academic excellence within the non-Greek community at UVa by
offering annual scholarships. As of the last semester, we are fortunate
to have an average fraternity GPA of 3.55.

Philanthropy & Community Service |
Betas are involved
with a multitude of community service around Charlottesville.
Betas believe it is important to remember that UVa is not simply a
bubble, but an integral part of Charlottesville and greater
Albemarle County. Thus, we have set ourselves a combined
standard of at least 795hrs of service per semester.
The following is a selected list of community service events from
last semester.
