The Zeta Xi Chapter of Beta Theta Pi is a fraternal organization chapter affiliated with the Beta Theta Pi International Fraternity and based out of the Truman State University (formerly Northeast Missouri State University) in Kirksville, Missouri. It became an official Beta chapter in 1995.
[edit] Local History
The history of the Zeta-Xi chapter begins in the fall of 1994. Two roommates, Ryan Sather and Michael Stegeman, formed a small group of friends who held frequent meetings to discuss starting a new fraternity on what was then Northeast Missouri State University's campus. The group came to be known as Beta Lambda Epsilon and eventually grew to 26 outstanding young men. As the spring '95 semester began, the men of Beta Lambda Epsilon continued to work hard and recruit new members and on February 6, Beta Lambda Epsilon became an official campus organization.
Meanwhile Joel Stern, director of expansion for Beta Theta Pi, had learned of the group's ambitions and contacted Sather. On April 27, 1995, the men of Beta Lambda Epsilon were initiated as pledges of Beta Theta Pi and became the first sons of the dragon at Truman State University. On January 13, 2004 took another step towards living the ritual of Beta Theta Pi by aligning with the Men of Principal Initiative, signifying our commitment now and into the future to brotherhood, leadership and excellence. The founders
While one of the youngest fraternities at Truman State, Beta Theta Pi has shown leadership and excellence in all facets of campus life. They have won many awards from the general fraternity and the campus IFC. Some examples include two Knox Awards, Beta's highest award for chapter excellence, IFC's Most Outstanding Chapter Award, and several Sission Awards for chapter excellence. The Zeta Xi members place a strong emphasis on giving back to the campus and the community, with members involved with organizations such as the Student Activities Board, Student Senate, Center for Student Involvement, Blue Key, and Student Ambassadors. Betas at Truman volunteered over 5000 hours of their time for various charitable organizations.
