About
Our Story
Gamma Beta Fraternity, Inc. (ΓΒ) was created in the spring of 2000 at the University of Texas at Austin. The original nine founders intended to incorporate the culture of the Asian community and the values and morals of a family to create an unparalleled brotherhood. At first Gamma Beta began as a student organization at the University of Texas, but after many long nights of hard stewardship, the initial ideas of brotherhood and unity changed from a dream to reality. With the dedication and commitment of these nine founders, the Gamma Beta Fraternity was officially established in the summer of 2000.
Our motto “Making Good Men Better” pushes every brother to become the best version of themselves. We are able to achieve this goal by following our nine core tenets: Brotherhood, Unity, Courtesy, Respect, Discipline, Integrity, Perseverance, Indomitable Spirit, and Humility.
Overview
The official purpose of the Gamma Beta Organization is to better each member as an individual and as a whole and all those in contact with Gamma Beta through a brotherhood promoting and enforcing morality, discipline, responsibility, an unprecedented sense of unity, and high academic standards.
