Almost from its birth, Beta Theta Pi has been a singing fraternity, a reputation well acknowledged within the greater Greek community. If sentiment is essential in binding the hearts of members, singing together is an ideal way to blend hearts and minds in common purpose.

Even before the first decade of the Fraternity’s history ended, Betas were raising their voices in a collection of songs. These were printed on a card and included an opening ode, a closing ode, a benediction, an initiation song and a song of greeting to the new member. Many treasured and familiar songs found their way into the Fraternity ritual from the earliest times. Today it is believed that no other fraternity gives as much prominence to singing at initiation than does Beta Theta Pi.

So essential was singing in the Fraternity’s founding and growth during the 19th century that a wealth of songs and poems have emerged from that era, many of them still popular.
