"Being initiated into Beta Theta Pi was one of the best days that I have had throughout my time at John Carroll University. This initiation brought all eight weeks of the pledge process together with everything I have learned. From pledge class and retreat to different service events with the brothers, I feel extremely lucky to say that my pledge process was an incredible experience. It was very eye-opening to see the dedication that all active members put into this Initiation ritual. It really put into perspective the history and values of Beta Theta Pi. Over 150 years of Beta Theta Pi's sacred principles speaks wonders for its success. I can't wait to make the most out of my time as a Beta member, and I look forward to influencing future pledges as these active members have done for me."

"The morning was here and by morning, I mean 4:30am. We all met in the atrium and got into our cars and were off to Oxford for Initiation. The nine of us neophytes were excited to take our membership one step further to becoming brothers of the Eta Epsilon Chapter of Beta Theta Pi.
Going to Initiation and seeing how much dedication the brothers had put in to our day reassured me that I picked the right fraternity. Each of them displayed the qualities and values a Beta will always possess. I came in to college a bit apprehensive about joining a fraternity. As soon as I found Beta, we clicked. I have found my best friends for the rest of my life and I know they will do anything for me as I would for them. Being initiated was a powerful experience and I know that the bonds and growth of myself in Beta Theta Pi will only become stronger and my brothers will teach me how to be the best man I can be."
