Beta Faces at the Helm of IFC Boards

Beta Theta Pi — Wed, 18 Dec 2024 15:12:23 +0000

Beta Theta Pi continues to be a beacon of leadership on campus. In 2025, seven brothers assume the role of IFC president — the highest interfraternal post on their respective campuses. In the case of Miami (Fla.) and Ohio State, it’s the first Beta IFC president in many years. Countless brothers serve on Interfraternity Council (IFC) executive boards on their respective campuses, seven of whom sit at the helm of the table as president. The IFC’s purpose is to advance fraternity on campus and provide interfraternal leadership to the entire community, and it is directly supported by the North American Interfraternity Conference (NIC).

Nafeh Ahsan, Case Western Reserve ’26

Brother Ahsan has held numerous positions in the Lambda Kappa – Beta Chapter, including vice president of recruitment and marketing chairman, and is now looking to offer his talents to the fraternity community. It’s a position that just made sense for him, following in the footsteps of his grand-big brother and past IFC president, Cameron Goodwin-Schoen ’24. A psychology and political science major, Nafeh has developed his leadership skills in his past positions and at Beta’s 2023 General Convention.

Lucas Carpenter, Wabash ’26

Wabash has its first Beta IFC president since 2019. Brother Carpenter previously served as the IFC delegate for the Tau Chapter before his promotion on the executive board. He’s a previous attendee of Wooden Institute and Leadership College at the 184th General Convention.

Charlie Fox, Creighton ’26

Brother Fox is Creighton’s third Beta IFC president in the last seven years. Brother Sean Dore ’26, serves on the council alongside him as the vice president of judicial affairs.

Sam Koch, Colorado Mines ’26

Brother Koch is the first Beta IFC president at Colorado School of the Mines in recent history. He comes into the post with experience as his chapter’s service and philanthropy chairman.

Gabe Phillips, Ohio State ’26

Similar to his brother across the continent, Brother Phillips is the first IFC president representing the Theta Delta Chapter in recent history. Hailing from Dayton, Ohio, this is the first step of fraternal leadership for this brother. Serving by his side on the executive council is Chief Justice Logan Bunker ’27.

Early into his tenure, he accepted the Jellison Award for Overall Excellence at the 2025 AFLV Central on behalf of Ohio State’s IFC.

Bartu Sevil, Miami (Fla.) ’27

He might be the youngest brother in this year’s cohort of IFC presidents but Brother Sevil is ready for leadership at the next level. He was elected by his fraternal peers to the post just seven months after his initiation into the University of Miami chapter. The first Beta IFC president since the chapter’s founding in 2009. Making strides early in his term, he recently attended the 2025 Southeastern Greek Leadership Association annual conference in Atlanta.

Gunnar Swanson, High Point ’26

High Point has a long history of Beta leadership at the helm. There was only one year without Beta leadership since 2022, as Gunnar follows the two-term legacy of Brother Braeden Boyle ’24. In the chapter, he previously served as ritual chairman. He’s joined on the executive board by Vice President of Health and Safety Conor Salas ’26, Vice President of Finance Jake Slomann ’26, and Vice President of Community Relations Nino Salati ’27.

1,600+ Men “Go Beta” This Fall

Beta Theta Pi — Tue, 27 Sep 2022 14:11:07 +0000

Some 50 chapters are still in the thick of recruitment season, yet more than 1,600 young men from 78 chapters have already been recruited and chosen to “Go Beta” this fall. Curious to see some of their results? This month, the Fraternity checks in with chapters at Arkansas, Chapman, High Point, Miami (Fla.), Mississippi, Oklahoma and Wabash for a recruitment update.

Arkansas

Big recruitment news from Beta’s chapter at Arkansas: 63 new members have joined the Eta Mu Chapter. It’s the largest recruitment class since the chapter established on campus in 2012. The chapter now impressively stands at 184-men strong. Welcome to the Fraternity!

Chapman

Record-breaking numbers is the result of top-notch recruitment at Chapman. The Eta Theta Chapter welcomed 34 new members into our Beta brotherhood, the largest recruitment class since establishing in fall 2011. Great work on recruiting men of principle, brothers.

High Point

It’s a five-year high for High Point. The men of the Eta Xi Chapter recruited 20 new members this fall and they couldn’t be more excited for their new brothers. Welcome to the brotherhood!

Miami (Fla.)

Checking in on recruitment at the Fraternity’s southernmost chapter and these new members already have the first mark of a Beta. Miami (Fla.) has 21 young men joining the ranks, one of its largest fall classes in recent history. Welcome to the Beta family!

Mississippi

Beta’s chapter at Ole Miss sure knows how to go big with recruitment. For the third time since 2015, the chapter surpassed an 80-man new member class, with 86 joining the Beta Beta Chapter this fall. Congrats to the Fraternity’s new members joining a one-of-a-kind brotherhood.

Oklahoma

Beta’s chapters in the Sooner State put in some hard work during recruitment this year. The Oklahoma chapter recruited 62 new members, consistent with their year-to-year averages for the fall term. Oklahoma State, one of the first chapters to announce its newest recruitment class, reported 52 young men back in June. Welcome to the brotherhood!

Wabash

At Wabash College, 15 new members donned Beta-lettered hats to signify their fraternity decision. It would be hard not to choose one of the greatest college fraternities in North America. Already, more than 1,300 young men have been recruited and chosen Beta this academic term across the Broad Domain.
