The Wooden Institute allows Betas to interact with brothers and Friends of Beta from across North America. Participants share ideas, dissect Fraternity ritual, partake in challenging activities that focus on leadership skills, learn more about the history of Beta Theta Pi, reflect on the Fraternity’s heritage, and have fun together in Beta’s birthplace – Oxford, Ohio.

Conducted during the Fraternity’s General Convention, the curriculum aims to provide participants with time-tested concepts and skills that can be put to use in college and beyond. The award-winning Chapter Presidents Leadership Academy provides an opportunity for all chapter and colony presidents to visit the Fraternity’s founding site in Oxford, Ohio for three days of intense leadership training and networking with other undergraduate presidents. The program concentrates on personal and chapter leadership. Presidents will learn to become more effective leaders, develop personal officer goals, and design a framework for chapter success.
