Its motto is "Let Us Lead By Serving Others." Traditionally, students are awarded membership based on their grades and character traits.
Headquartered in Spartanburg, South Carolina, the organization has more than 500,000 active Beta members residing within approximately 9,000 clubs both nationally and internationally.
