The Singing Fraternity
Even before the first decade of the Fraternity’s history ended, Betas raised their voices in a collection of songs. These were printed on a card and included opening and closing odes, a benediction, an initiation song, and a greeting of new members.
So essential was singing in the Fraternity’s founding and growth during the 19th century that many songs and poems emerged from that era, many of them still popular.
Collections of Beta songs appeared periodically until 1902, when the publication became a red hard-cover book with gold leaf imprinted cover — a format followed for the next 90 years.
The Fraternity’s song collection has grown to be quite extensive over the years, containing not only songs written to long-familiar music but a number also set to original tunes. Additions are made yearly, each new edition of the songbook containing new melodies.

Beta Theta Pi Graphic Standards Manual
To assist members, volunteers and licensed vendors, the Fraternity has compiled a Graphic Standards Manual featuring the primary visual elements of Beta’s brand identity and instructions for successfully executing the identity across a myriad of platforms.
Beta Theta Pi Style Guide
Beta Theta Pi Fraternity’s writing style broadly follows the Associated Press Stylebook. The Beta Style Guide serves to provide guidance on Fraternity-specific programs and terminology.
