On December 22, 1923, during the Christmas holidays, Gardere Moore invited several Loyola students to his home to begin a fraternal organization.

Beggers is "dedicated to promoting brotherhood among its members as well as their spiritual, academic, and social betterment, and also that of the entire Loyola community."

As of 6 June 2024, Beggars is no longer listed on the campus Fraternity and Sorority Life portal, nor is its website available.

[2] Members in Beggars is by invitation, requiring unanimous approval by the entire fraternity, and therefore does not operate on quotas.

[4] "Dirty" pledges do not have the grade point average required by the university before joining a Greek letter organization.
