Housing Resources

Beta Theta Pi promotes chapter housing that is safe, attractive, and creates an environment that supports academic success and the Men of Principle Initiative. To that end, the Housing Department provides insurance, education, support and advocacy for our house corporations, volunteers and chapters. This full-service department can answer all your housing questions and connect you with industry experts, vendors and other Beta house corporations.
