Volunteers are the key to Beta Phi’s long-term success. There are many ways you can help provide some support.
Assistant Grand Praetor
The Assistant Grand Praetor will help support Grand Praetor, Joe Beers with Province needs.
Advisory Board
The Advisory Board provides advice to our undergraduates in the areas of chapter operations. Our goal is to have one volunteer over each officer and key committee chair positions like Member Education (pledge and member educational programming), Recruitment (providing advice to the Recruitment Chairs), SCLI/Foundational Leadership Mentor (this is an alum trained to help with Ritual for Life (R4L) that new pledges will go through after Preparation for Brotherhood (P4B)) and any area an alumni is willing to share his expertise. This is by far the most important area of support needed and it is also the most rewarding. You will build lifetime friendships with undergraduates you help advise.
Responsibilities are:
- Weekly to bi-weekly phone, virtual or in-person conversation with your assigned officer or chair (15-30 minutes).
- Monthly virtual or in-person meeting with the other Advisory Board members (30-45 minutes).
- Semester goal setting with your assigned officer or chair (1-2 hours).
- Annual retreat with officers, chairs, and other volunteers either in-person or virtually (2-3 hours).

- Speak on career specific small-group career panel with undergraduates interested in your career field (undergraduates will be placed into career groups and then we will work around alumni panelists schedules)
