beta tbeta pi BETA THETA PI was the first of the triad formed at Miami University, Ox- ford, Ohio. Founded in 1837 by John Reilly Knox and seven other undergradu- ates, it was the first fraternity to be organized west of the Alleghenies. Although secret societies were banned at Miami, Beta Theta Pi grew until it now has over eighty active chapters, under the authority of a board of directors. The Lehigh chapter was begun through the influence of a transfer student from the Randolph-Macon chapter. With two other transfers from Dickinson and Bethany Colleges he built up a local organization and petitioned the national Beta Theta Pi. The petition was granted, and in 1891 the Beta Chi chapter was installed at Lehigh. A small house on West Fourth street served as the first chapter home. In 1902 the rapid enlargement of the chapter made it necessary to purchase a more suitable house. This house, located on Wyandotte street, was occupied by the fraternity for the next sixteen years. After another move, this time to East Church street, the fraternity built a house in Sayre Park, completing it in 1926. Beta Theta Pi men have been particularly prominent in athletics, especially in wrestling. Both the captain and the manager of this year ' s wrestling team are members of Beta Theta Pi. The varsity and junior managerships of football are held by Beta Theta Pi ' s. Members of the chapter are on the tra ck, soccer, and baseball teams. But the Beta ' s do not concentrate on sports to the exclusion of other activities. There are members in several campus honoraries, including Omicron Delta Kappa, Pi Tau Sigma, Tau Beta Pi, and Alpha Kappa Psi. Other members, on the staff of the Brown and White and in Mustard and Cheese, round out the Beta list of activities. IN THE PICTURE: Back Row: F. Winter, ' 45; E. R. Dawson, ' 45; D. R.
