Q: How do I become part of the John Carroll University Greek System? A: The best way to become a part of the Greek System at John Carroll is to register and attend events organized by John Carroll Greek Life during Formal Recruitment Week. Beta also sponsors "informal recruitment" in the early spring semester.
Q: What is expected of a new member of Beta Theta Pi?
Q: What kind of time commitment is associated with becoming a member?
A: It all depends on your level of involvement with the Fraternity. We understand that many of those interested in Beta are already extremely active on campus or have rigorous course loads, however you get out of the experience as much as you put in. If you elect to run for a position on the executive committee, your time commitment will be much greater than if you have a less intensive leadership role or refrain completely from accepting a position. It is reasonable to expect that you will need to commit to a minimum of 4-5 hours per week for Beta, which can vary depending on events occuring that week, the time of year, and the position you hold in the fraternity.
Q: What are the financial requirements of each member? A: The financial requirements vary by semester, as membership rises and falls (the more members, the lower the dues per member). There are some one-time costs for membership, which will be paid by new members during their first semester. Payment plans are available on an as-needed basis.
