Its purpose is to bind the top and talented engineering students from different engineering schools in Iloilo city together so that they may work shoulder to shoulder for a common good and noble end.The term "Betans" is the nickname of the alumni and resident members of the Phi Beta Epsilon Fraternity from fifth (5) schools namely, Central Philippine University, Iloilo City College (Iloilo City Colleges upon accreditation became the University of Iloilo while the Iloilo City College, Engineering Department - Lapaz Unit eventually became Western Institute of Technology), the University of Iloilonow University of Iloilo - PHINMA, Western Institute ofTechnology and University of San Agustin.

The fraternity currently has several alumni member organizations, based in the Philippines and various countries around the world. A global network of Betans ready to support the Resident Members in all chapters in particular and the fellowship in general.
As we look back to honor our Founding Fathers and orient our bearings from the starting point, we will continue our journey with the fellowship using their guiding principles as our compass. We will continue to explore new horizons, equipped with our Code of Conduct to guide us in our words and our deeds, the Betans Creed, and the BetansScroll to keep us inspired to achieve our goals and reach our destinations.
With this testimony, our Founding Fathers can rest, knowing that they did well, and assured that the legacy they left behind with us will continue to flourish as we look forward to the next 75 years and beyond.
