Theta Chi is one of the oldest and largest of all men’s national fraternities at 160 years of age and over 180,000 initiated members since its founding. On campus, our Beta Psi chapter here at Presbyterian College is over 70 years old. Members of Theta Chi pride themselves on acting in correspondence with the values established by our founders.
Some of these values include service to our community and our neighbors in our community, service to our fellow brothers, pride for our education – our Alma Mater (Go Blue Hose!), honesty and integrity, restraint; sound judgment, and patience and acceptance.
Founded on the principle of friendship through the mutual assistance of every member, Theta Chi aims to provide its members with an enjoyable and fulfilling collegiate experience that also prepares them for rewarding, successful lives after graduation.
