I'm a Beta, Beta Psi, at WVU. The reaction I get from most of the sorority girls I know is that we are the gentlemen on campus. When you get invited to a party thrown by us, the ladies don't have to worry about someone spiking their drink or taking advantage of them. We have good relations with most sororities on campus, with the exception of one or two.
Moxie, as far as I know

,the oldest continous chapter of Beta (and of any fraternity) is the Washington and Jefferson Chapter.
