The Beta Brief provides monthly updates and reminders for chapter officers, advisors, house corporation volunteers and General Fraternity Officers.

Spend time building and maintaining positive relationships to help improve your overall wellness. Take a moment this month to connect with a brother you have not seen this summer and check in on how he's doing, or organize a meetup with brothers in your area. 

End-of-Term Reporting: Several chapters are still missing End-of-Term Reports for one or more of the following terms: Spring 2025, Fall 2025 and Spring 2026. Please ensure that this reporting is completed on MyBeta no later than July 15. If you have any questions or issues, please reach out to your assigned director of fraternity services.

Follow Up With Wooden Institute Graduates: The Wooden Institute experience doesn't end when participants return home. Take time to connect with chapter brothers who attended Wooden this summer and ask them to share what they learned, the goals they set and the plan of action they developed. These conversations create accountability and help translate their ideas into meaningful action for your chapter.

New Member Education Assessment: The New Member Education Assessment for the 2026-27 academic year opens later this month. Chapter presidents and vice presidents of education will soon receive an email with the required steps to verify the chapter's new member program through the Administrative Office. 

New MyBeta Learning Center Coming Soon: This upgrade will bring an improved experience and new features to make online learning easier and better than ever! The current MyBeta Learning Center is temporarily unavailable during this transition. Stay tuned for the launch of the new platform at Convention.

Intern Applications Open: The Administrative Office is now accepting program intern applications for Winter Leadership Conclave and Wooden Institute. Join the event team to develop professional skills and build your Beta network. Contact Doug Russell with questions.

Advisor Academy: Mark your calendar for September 27! All volunteers are invited to attend Advisor Academy, a virtual training program to improve your advising skills, increase your Beta knowledge and “fill your cup” as a volunteer. More information and the registration link coming soon!

Lunch and Learn: Volunteer Lunch and Learns for the 2026-27 academic year will take place quarterly on the following dates at 12:00 ET: August 26, November 18 and March 31. A full slate of topics and registration links coming soon.

Chapter House Renovations: Housing corporations are constantly identifying construction and repair projects to ensure the facility remains in good physical condition. As you begin planning these projects, consider the insurance- and risk management-related items on this checklist to reduce the liability exposure of the house corporation and its board members.

Hiring a House Director?: CSL Management has continued to provide assistance to the house director profession, including recently establishing a new company, House Director Professionals, LLC, dedicated to the sourcing, placement and employment of house directors within the fraternity and sorority community.

More information on these events and deadlines can be found on beta.org or MyBeta. To view all events and deadlines, visit beta.org/year-in-the-life.
