You see, there are a lot of preconceived notions surrounding members of a Fraternity. Common stereotypes provide a misinterpreted and vague depiction of the men who join fraternities. Theta Chi is founded on traditions and ideals that inspire true friendship. We are a brotherhood intended to build character among its members. Theta Chi promotes Truth, Temperance, and Tolerance in all that we do.

Philanthropy

In 2013, Theta Chi Fraternity became a partner of the United Service Organizations (USO). The USO strengthens America’s military service members by keeping them connected to family, home, and country, throughout their service to the nation. Since 2013, Theta Chi chapters across North America have been fundraising and volunteering service hours in support of the USO. For 2019-2020, our chapter raised over $5,500 for the USO, the highest out of any chapter of Theta Chi nationwide.

 

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

Besides philanthropic involvement, Theta Chi also prides itself on academic excellence. We not only require each new member to have a 3.0 cumulative GPA, but also mandate each member to maintain high scholastic standards during their time in the chapter. These standards have established Theta Chi as the most academically successful chapter on campus for the past decade! 

This hard work has paid off with the Epsilon Kappa Chapter of Theta Chi achieving the highest GPA of any fraternity here at the University of Idaho for spring 2022. We have held the highest fraternity GPA for eight consecutive semesters, and out of the last 10 years, we’ve had the highest semester GPA a total of 13 times.

CAMPUS INVOLVEMENT/LEADERSHIP

While we require each brother to be involved in at least one activity, most brothers greatly surpass this requirement by not only being involved in multiple groups, but also holding positions of leadership in said organizations.

We at Theta Chi like to say that we have a brother in nearly every facet of campus life. In total the brothers of Theta Chi are involved in over 65 activities or organizations across campus. Included in that number are College Ambassadors, ASUI Senators, Orientation Leaders, Advisory Board Members, Campus Tour Guides, and Interfraternity Council leaders.
