At the close of Phase I intramurals, fall 2009, our fraternity league 7 on 7 flag football was honored as fraternity league champions for the 2009 season of play. The twelve men that made up the team played a wonderful season beginning with a first place in the Atlanta Area Flag Football Classic, defeating teams from Clayton State, Georgia State, and Georgia Tech to achieve 3rd place overall.

During regular season play, Beta went undefeated in divisional play and entered into the tournament as the #2 seed. After battling through the field, Beta defeated the #1 seed, Phi Gamma Delta (Fiji) to clinch the title in front of one of the largest crowds in intramural history!

The entire brotherhood out to see Beta win it’s second straight 7 on 7 title.

The team went on to get third overall in the school championships, losing to the current champions, Backfield in Motion. Thanks to everyone who supported the team and congratulations to the Beta Theta Pi 7 on 7 team!

2009 Team Stats:

For the fourteen versus fourteen tug of war match in a mud pit, fraternities train for months for only one day of pulling. This year, Beta beat Sig Ep, had a dramatic comeback against AEPi, and finished as champions in the finals against Theta Chi.

The Gamma Eta chapter enjoyed a very successful rush in 2008, pledging 32 highly qualified men into the brotherhood. Traditions Night exemplified the culture that we here at Beta enjoyed the past couple of years. The slide show, created by brothers Doug Prechter and Nate Weems, entertained the brothers and guests on the front porch of Lil’ Tara. Come get to know our new pledges as they embark in one of the most exciting times of their lives.

Alumni, we will be piloting a new mentor program for the pledges this semester. If you are interested in becoming involved in this program and live in the Atlanta Area, please contact our Pledge Educator, Jesse Kent, at jesse.kent [at] gtbeta.org or our Alumni Coordinator, John Hanson, at jhanson101 [at] gmail.com.

Our Wes Loper Band Party was a great success Spring 2008. It took place during our annual Beta Lei week long party. Everyone had a great time as can be attested by this video released by one of Wes Loper’s camera crew.
