Brotherhood

People are attracted to fraternities for a lot of different reasons, but when all is said and done there's one very important thing that makes fraternities more than just another student organization: a sense of brotherhood. All of the brothers in our fraternity know each other incredibly well, and share a very deep connection, a connection that you can't find anywhere else. It's what makes us unique. It's why we consider each other "brothers" rather than "colleagues" or "friends".

One of the most important functions of the new member period in our fraternity is to start our new members on this journey, so that they can share in this intense connection between brothers. This connection is more than just knowing a lot about your brothers; it's a reassurance that they'll be there for you, ready to extend "the helping hand", whenever you may need it. Whether you're going through a tough situation, or you're stranded on the side of the highway and need somebody to pick you up, you can count on your brothers to help you out in your time of need.

Activities

Our chapter holds a variety of brotherhood-inspired events to keep this connection strong. For example, each semester the Brotherhood Chair organizes an overnight retreat, so that the entire brotherhood can get away from the city and spend some very meaningful time together. Or another great example would be weekly brotherhood events, which can be anything from a board game night, to a movie night, to a friendly brother vs brother football game, to a day at the beach. Brotherhood activities are among some of the most enjoyable and meaningful events in Theta Chi, and they are always a ton of fun.
