Betas Claim IFC Presidential Posts

Beta Theta Pi — Tue, 09 Jan 2024 19:34:44 +0000

Brothers across Beta’s Broad Domain have proven why Beta Theta Pi is the leadership fraternity. 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). Brother Braeden Boyle, High Point ’24, was chosen by the NIC to serve on the IFC Advisory Council during the 2023-24 academic year.

Tanner Pierce, Chapman ’25

Brother Tanner adds IFC president to his leadership resume after his election to lead the interfraternal community. He was promoted to the role after a year as the vice president of public relations on the IFC executive board, meanwhile currently serving the Eta Theta Chapter as the philanthropy and service chairman. Tanner is joined on the IFC board by fellow Beta Jordan Ellison ’25, the second-term vice president of diversity, equity and inclusion.

Rush Lacoste, Elon ’25

It’s apparent that Betas are trusted leaders at Elon. For the fourth consecutive year, a brother from the Eta Upsilon Chapter has been elected IFC president and this year the man with the job is Rush Lacoste ’25. He follows the lead of fellow Beta Graham Tunis ’24, having the pleasure to serve under him as the IFC vice president of recruitment in 2023.

Emerson Gray, Furman ’25

Emerson was elected to serve as Furman’s IFC president for a second consecutive term. In his first term at the helm of the executive board, Emerson and his cabinet formalized the official fall recruitment process for the first time in Furman’s history.

On top of that, the IFC executive team expanded by two positions under his watch and meetings were revamped to be more inclusive. By pushing for two representatives from each chapter, collaboration between fraternities was strengthened and it fostered a more united Greek community.

Gavin Freda, Indiana ’25

Pi Chapter’s previous vice president of brotherhood is expanding his reach. As IFC president, Gavin plans to promote the fraternity experience across Bloomington, Indiana. The chapter’s first IFC president since 2021 is joined by Jack Wimmer ’26, the vice president of finance.

Donovan Marcum, Louisville ’26

Louisville goes back-to-back, claiming IFC president for the second-straight year. Not only is Donovan following the footsteps of a Beta brother, he follows his Big Brother, Colter Koch-Harbison ’24. “He has been a major mentor to me, not only in getting elected myself but in everything else I do.”

Caleb King, Texas Tech ’25

Caleb was elected the Delta Mu Chapter’s first IFC president since at least 2011. He knows what it takes to be at the head of the table, recently rolling off a term as chapter president.

Zack Yekta, Villanova ’25

After a stint as Villanova IFC’s vice president of recruitment, Zack was promoted to president of the board. The Zeta Epsilon Chapter is no stranger to campus leadership; passing him the torch was Interim President and fellow Beta Brother Will Burke ’25.

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.
