Pioneered by a Kentucky Beta member, Beta Around the World is an initiative to send the Beta shield across the globe. From the lowest point to the highest peak, this project provides an opportunity for Betas to make connections with individuals in new areas, while showcasing their Beta pride.
Beta Around the World
How It Works
We are challenging our Betas to obtain selfies of people holding the Beta shield all over the world. Think big – Eiffel Tower, Egyptian pyramids, Hollywood sign, and more! Reach out to family, friends, or strangers to ask for help. One club obtained a photo of a chef in Antarctica!
Digital Shield – We recommend emailing a digital shield to your contacts for selfies. You can use the template below for your email.
Printed Shield – If you would prefer to mail a printed shield to your contacts, you can download that below to send with the letter template.
How to Submit Photos
Once you receive photos, upload them to our Beta Around the World page. When you upload the photo, be sure to select “Beta Around the World” from the photo category menu. All photos will be posted on the Beta Around the World map.
Letter Template
Whether you want to reach out via printed letter or email, we’ve got you covered! You can copy and paste this template and easily adjust it to fit your needs.
Hello (insert name),
My name is (insert name) and I am a Beta Club member from (insert school name) in (insert state).
National Beta Club promotes academic achievement, character, leadership, and service. We are working on a project called Beta Around the World. Our goal is to obtain photos of people holding our shield in every state, country, and continent.
This is where you come in! Please take a selfie style picture of you and our Beta insignia in front of something that identifies where you are in the world. Think big – Eiffel Tower, Egyptian pyramids, Hollywood sign, etc. I included a digital version of our shield for you to hold up on your phone, iPad, or computer.
Once you take the photo, please email it back to me. I will send it to National Beta and you will be featured on social media!
Thank you in advance for helping to make our project a success!
