In the spring of 1999, This chapter of Beta Theta Pi was brought back with a fresh set of new members in love with Beta in the form of a colony. We were brought back under the Men of Principle Initiative. It's not a set of rules to follow, not another authority figure to answer to, but instead, it's what Beta was built on, in a merely updated form. We at the Gamma Theta chapter are proud to call ourselves Men of Principle.

The nine goals of the Men of Principle initiative are as follows:

• Cultivation of the Intellect
• Leadership and Self Governance
• Commitment to Community
• Member Education
• Responsible Personal Conduct
• Chapter Advisors Relationships
• Strong Member Recruitment
• Strong Communication
• Lifelong Fraternal Brotherhood

I am a Man of Principle.
I believe in the power of the mind, cultivating my own intellect and the minds of others.
I respect leadership, lead when called upon to do so, and help to prepare the leaders who will come after me.
I willingly lend my talents and abilities to the service of my community.
I recognize and respect the worth of each person, refusing to take part in activities that undermine the dignity of others or myself.
I choose to act responsibly, weighing the consequences of my action on those around me.
I speak honestly and listen actively.
I seek the company of other men of principle, extending them the bonds of brotherhood.
I build bridges, not walls.
I am a Beta.
