It doesn't mention Beta anywhere, it only compares Alpha and Omega.
Beta is a friend of Alpha. He is second in command, if Alpha doesn't want/can do something Beta gets it. Beta position is not a bad one at all. Just one step away from the leading position and he can even influence Alpha. Women who can't get Alpha go for Beta.
Omega is the bottom of hierarchy, everyone is over him and he is considered nothing by most of society. Forever bullied. No woman wants Omega even if Alpha and Beta are unavailable.
Quoted for truth.
Alpha/Beta/Omega EXISTS among humans, yes, we are the most complex primates, but this hierarchy certainly exists in men/boys.
High School is where you see it the most, if some of you never saw it then I tell you: you were living under a rock.
I have seen recently in Turkey in the pub outing, we were three guys, two girls. One of the guys (not me) was clearly interested in one of the girls.
Both girls were interested in the tallest one among us, has a girlfriend in Lebanon and they both know it, they were being physically in proximity all the time during dancing, the Czech guy is single and the 2nd in height- he's very successful in career, but he is very thin and has a very boyish face, the girl he was trying to approach clearly shunned him, she even whispered the 'Alpha' how she is not interested in him. The 'Alpha' later in the taxi apologized to the Czech guy,(who was clearly an Omega in this group) that he didn't cockblock him and he told him what the girl said.
As for me, I was totally indifferent, one of the girls (the shorter one, I could clearly see that tall girl didn't like that much) whispered me many times during the night, and she did dance with me. And yes, I was associated with the "Alpha" because we work both in same company.
Overall, she had been very friendly to me, but not as much as with the 'Alpha' guy. I guess I was 'Beta' in this instance.
So here you go, Alpha, Beta, Omega.
