Building on a Tradition of Excellence is over 80% of the way toward its goal of raising $10 million to fund the future home of the Zeta Phi Chapter. While it takes the support of many brothers to achieve such a substantial goal, we are confident that we will reach that goal by the end of 2012. Through August 31, 2011, well over one hundred different alumni had made contributions totalling more than $8 million.

We thank every Beta Theta Pi supporter who has contributed to Building on a Tradition of Excellence, and want to acknowledge the following alumni who have each made contributions since our capital campaign began in 2008:
