Welcome to Beta Delta
A chapter shaped by the people who take responsibility for it
Since 1948, the Beta Delta Chapter has given Rutgers students a place to build close friendships while taking on real responsibility. Brothers lead recruitment, plan chapter programming, manage finances, communicate with alumni, maintain the house and organize philanthropy. The work is shared, and every member has the opportunity to contribute.
The experience is not limited to formal meetings. It includes studying together, preparing for interviews, supporting brothers at graduation, welcoming families to campus and staying connected after college. Beta Delta is strongest when members invest in one another and leave the chapter better than they found it.

106 College Avenue
For years, Beta Delta’s leaders, alumni and advisors worked toward a chapter home that could support the organization’s future. The opportunity at 106 College Avenue required persistence, housing planning and collaboration across generations.
The next step is making the space fully reflect the chapter. Current fundraising supports house letters, furnishings and practical improvements that will help brothers welcome alumni, families and prospective members with pride.

The experience between the scheduled events
The relationships that define Beta Delta are built through time together, shared responsibility and showing up for one another.
Philanthropy & Service
Participation that reaches beyond the chapter
ZBT Tahiti brings different parts of the Rutgers community together through team competition, banner creation and shared participation. The chapter also supports Rutgers University Dance Marathon and raised more than $10,000 for RUDM.
Service is most meaningful when it is consistent. Beta Delta recorded the highest chapter service hours in 2025, reflecting brothers who continued to contribute outside of a single event.
