Membership Home

The Beta Club has a total membership of over 417,000 members. The total number of alumni is in excess of 5,200,000 members. In addition to the clubs in the United States, we have clubs in the Bahamas, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Germany, Russia and DC.

Membership is made up of grades 5 - 12. The junior division consists of grades 5 - 9 and the senior division is made up of grades 9 - 12. The 9th grade can be either a junior or senior club depending on what the school wishes.

There is a one-time membership fee for the junior division and a one-time membership fee for the senior division of the National Beta Club.

All members must be performing on or above grade level. Specific academic requirements for membership are not established at the national level, since systems of grading and merit-determination vary in different schools.

At no time shall membership in the National Beta Club make it incumbent upon a member to alter his or her religious or political ideas or affiliations.

Membership is a privilege and not a right. The qualifications for membership on the part of the student shall be: (a) worthy, moral and ethical character, (b) good mentality, (c) creditable achievement, and (d) commendable attitude. The standards and means for appraising these qualities shall be determined by the administration of the school where the club is located.
