Betas have traditionally been very prominent and successful men while attending Ohio State and later in life. Our campus itself is a living tribute to the many outstanding Betas that have passed through this institution. Two halls on campus, Pomerene and Seibert, were named after Betas. William Oxley Thompson, a past President of the University and Theta Delta Beta, is honored with a statue located in front of the main library. . Building their lives on confidence, hard work and tradition, Betas succeed in all areas of life.
Betas thrive in a diverse number of fields.
From politics, where Betas number 6 seats in the U.S. Senate and 11 seats in the House of Representatives, to professional sports greats like tennis pro Stan Smith, Jerry Lucas of the N.B.A. and Tad Weed, All-American football player for Ohio State, to the business world, where Beta Alum William Bowerman stands as founder of Nike, Betas prove that the morals and ideals learned in our fraternity will form lifelong impressions. . These are just a few of the countless Betas who have made their mark here at Ohio State and in the world, and we are determined to continue this distinguished history of excellence. .
