About This Site
Short Term
The main purpose is to get the word out and involve our entire brotherhood in the decisions about the future of our fraternity.
Long Term
We plan to continue developing the site into a tool for the alumni and actives to better manage our chapter.
Theta Chi was founded as, and will always be a social fraternity. However, it's affairs can and should be run like a modern business. Using a little technology, we can measure and manage the state of our chapter to ensure it's continued success and eliminate the cyclic trends of most fraternities.
We hope to have the following available on-line for any alumnus or active to review at any time...
