History of The National Junior Beta Club
The National Beta Club Senate authorized the
institution of the Junior Division of the National Beta Club on July 22, 1961.
This new organization was officially named the
"National Junior Beta Club" and was established to function organizationally as
a separate division of the National Beta Club Program.
The membership of the National Junior Beta Club
is composed of students from the fifth grade to ninth grade. In the summer of
1988, the Board of Directors approved the addition of the fifth grade.
The National Beta Club Senate approved the
organization of the Junior Beta division to provide an incentive program of
scholastic and character excellence for students in their formative years.
On August 17, 1961, the first Junior Beta Club
chapter was chartered at Millsap Junior High School, Millsap, Texas. The
objective of the National Junior Beta Club is to reward scholastic, leadership,
and service achievements among the members of a school's student body.
There are more than 400, 000 active members in
both Junior and Senior divisions and more that 4, 500, 000 former members. Beta
membership has increased to more than 7, 200 clubs in 41 states, Washington,
D.C. Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Bahamas, Guam and Bahrain.
Some of our more famous former Betas include:
President Bill Clinton, Miss America 2000 Heather French, Habitat for Humanity
founder Millard Fuller, NSYNC Member Justin Timberlake, Miss America 1996
Shawntel Smith, anchorwoman Diane Sawyer, football great Herschel Walker and
country music star Trisha Yearwood.
Junior Beta Club Guidelines
The National Beta Club
was designed as an organization to promote each member's leadership skills
and positive attitude. Membership is presented as both a reward for
exceptional mentality and worthy character along as a chance to increase
these commendable aspects. In order to join the Beta Club, a student
must achieve a 94 grade point average in all school subjects except for
spelling. In order to remain as a member for a second year, the
student must maintain at least a 90 point average.
