History of the ΘΞ Fraternity
Theta Xi Fraternity is a national leader in the educational and social development of its members. Our successes and diversity have been celebrated by over 60,000 members since 1864.
The Purpose of Theta Xi is to provide a college home environment for its active members in which fellowship and alumni guidance lead to wholesome mental, moral, physical and spiritual growth. The values on which Theta Xi was founded on are passed onto new members in "The Quest for Theta Xi." Theta Xi is one of North America’s oldest social fraternities and the only such organization founded during the Civil War. Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, Theta Xi services Chapters and Colonies all over the United States. The Fraternity offers a comprehensive new member education program called Alpha Nine and countless educational programs for its members. Theta Xi is the only National Fraternity to receive two Association of Fraternity Advisors (AFAR) "Excellence in Programming" awards; one for Values into Action (Values training) and then second for Benchmarks of Excellence (Chapter Operations training).
Theta Xi is represented at 54 campuses across the United States. The Fraternity offers numerous programs and services that are intended to improve the operations of its chapters and colonies.
OUR HOUSE AWARDS NATIONALLY :
Theta Xi annually recognizes achievement by chapters, colonies, and alumni across the country with its annual awards. The highlight of the award process is the presentation of the Memorial Trophy, which is presented to the top five percent of chapters which are recognized as the most outstanding.
For the 2007-08 year, Alpha Epsilon Chapter (Nebraska) and Alpha Eta Chapter (University of Colorado) have been designated for Memorial Trophy recognition and Mu Chapter (Iowa State) has won the General Improvement Award. The Great Plains District received the Outstanding District Award for the third year in a row.
The Fraternity’s Headquarters was established in St. Louis in 1924. At that time, the Grand Lodge and Convention saw the need to establish a central office to administer the operation of a growing brotherhood. Fraternity Headquarters is staffed by an Executive Director, professional staff and support personnel.
