Every birthday deserves a celebration… and National Beta’s is no exception!

Mark your calendars and get ready to fetch some fun! National Beta Founder’s Day is Friday, October 30, 2026, and this year’s theme is Paws & Serve!

Each year, National Beta members across the country celebrate the vision of our founder, Dr. John W. Harris, who established National Beta in 1934 to inspire students through the pillars of achievement, character, leadership, and service. More than 90 years later, that mission continues to guide everything we do.

But unlike most birthdays, Beta celebrates by giving instead of receiving.
