Hi there,
On Friday, October 9, all chapter advisors will be invited to complete the Beta Volunteer Assessment (BVA). The Beta Brotherhood Assessment (BBA) is launching on the same day, and each collegiate member is receiving similar communication about their survey.
The BVA is the Fraternity's annual survey for all advisors to reflect on their experience advising a Beta chapter. The BBA and BVA can help collegians and advisors understand their chapters on a deeper level and help identify strategies that encourage a safe and caring brotherhood built around Beta’s core values.
The survey will be delivered via email to the same email address as this message. It will take about 10-20 minutes to complete and will close on November 2. Collegians should plan for about 20-25 minutes to complete their own Beta Brotherhood Assessment. Chapter leadership is encouraged to set time aside to have members complete the survey at a chapter meeting this month. Ask the officer that you advise what their plans are to have the chapter complete the survey.
Your answers are confidential, so please be honest with your thoughts and opinions, and encourage collegians to do the same. The General Fraternity will not see any individual responses – Dyad Strategies, an external research firm, was hired to administer the survey and compile the results. In January, your team will receive a report that aggregates feedback from both the BVA and BBA with year-over-year data. As the new MyBeta site gets developed, you will be able to access previous reports on your chapter’s MyBeta page.
Every collegian's and advisor’s participation matters!
To be eligible for the Fraternity's prestigious Sisson and Knox Awards, chapters need to have 85% and 90%, respectively, of their members complete the survey. Additionally, chapters with improved participation rates or who reach 100% participation could win a Beta-branded tailgate tent, Beta-branded cornhole set or a gift card to the official Beta Store.
Advising teams with 100% participation will be entered to win a gift certificate to the Beta Store. We will also raffle off five free advisor registrations to the 188th General Convention in Houston, Texas, next summer, July 29-August 1, 2027.
If you have questions or run into technical issues, first reference the Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting Guide. If you can’t find an answer to your question, please contact Senior Director of Fraternity Growth Noah McHale.
Thank you for supporting the Beta Brotherhood and Beta Volunteer Assessments.
