National Beta was founded in 1934 by Dr. John W. Harris in South Carolina. He founded the organization on the pillars of achievement, character, leadership, and service. In honor of our National Founder, we invite clubs to celebrate our motto, “Let Us Lead by Serving Others” on Founder’s Day. We encourage all National Betas to make service a priority, not just today but every day.

Founder’s Day 2025 Recap
We were so excited to see so many Betas leaving their mark on their communities during Founder’s Day 2025. Check out some pictures of the service projects completed by Betas! Plus, this year we held a special contest! Based on submissions via our hashtag #FoundersDay25, we selected our three favorite service projects and gift the winners a Beta Shop gift card.
