The Alpha (founding) Chapter of Mu Beta Psi was created 1925 to bring together musicians from all musical organizations on campus regardless of field. Its original purpose was to discuss music theory and to give members direction in terms of the musical clubs available on campus. It now recognizes outstanding achievement and service in campus musical organizations, promotes interest in the musical organizations on campus, advocates for music as an educational subject, and encourages fellowship amongst musicians (https://mubetapsi.org/about/, accessed April 2019).
