Take Your College Experience to the Next Level with Theta Chi
RUSH THETA CHI
Recruitment at Theta Chi has grown exponentially over the past few years. While we still remain true to our humble beginnings and ensure that we embrace an atmosphere and mentality of "growing a small fraternity," we are constantly seeking to recruit men that seek to uphold our values. While we attempt not to set hard limits on pledge class size, we also maintain a high priority of ensuring that our chapter's brotherhood remains strong. Quality is better than quantity. Our mission is to take young men entering university life and turn them into well rounded, intelligent and inspiring members of their communities. Through a rigorous recruitment process, we make sure that the highest quality men are brought into this chapter and help them to excel in any and all areas of student life here at Oakland University. We seek to bring in men who are among the most driven at Oakland University so that we may help them become better and more successful in their college careers, but also so that they may help us become stronger. We are looking for men of quality who are dedicated to bettering themselves as well as having a good time. If this is something you're interested in, sign up to rush! We look forward to meeting you.
If you would like to affiliate from us as a transfer from another chapter, please contact us so we can arrange for you to speak directly with our chapter president.
ZERO HAZING TOLERANCE
A main concern that many men interested in fraternities may have is that they will be hazed during their Pledge process. Here at Theta Chi we maintain and enforce a very strict no hazing policy. You cannot respect someone who has hazed you, and bonds cannot be built without respect for one another. We guarantee that all members of our chapter – both actives and new members – are treated with equality and respect.
WHY RUSH THETA CHI?
01 — Pledge Process
All pledges will learn about the history, traditions and ideals of Theta Chi in an 8-week new member education period. This is a time for new members to meet each other, current members, and chapter alumni. In addition to Fraternity-specific information, the pledge education period is designed to encourage an appreciation for campus leadership, academic excellence, moral conduct, and personal growth.
The goal of the Pledge Education program is to prepare pledges for full membership in Theta Chi Fraternity by empowering them to take active roles in the fraternity’s affairs. The eight-week program culminates with the initiation ceremony.
02 — Anti-Hazing Policy
Theta Chi Fraternity has a strict policy against hazing during any part of the fraternal experience. If you are concerned about hazing or have any questions related to hazing, feel free to call our Theta Chi Anti-Hazing Hotline at 1-855-824-4840.
03 — Alumni Network
Eta Phi has some incredibly active alumni who truly care about the state of the fraternity. Along with that, you’ll have access to the Theta Chi Alumni Mentor network to help guide you through your college and professional careers.
Along with that, thanks to Theta Chi’s Foundation Chapter, more than $400,000 in scholarship money was awarded to deserving Theta Chi members last year.
04 — Brotherhood
Theta Chi can help you gain the skills you need to be a more effective communicator, manager, and leader. Whether you run for office in your own chapter or on campus, or attend one of our highly regarded leadership schools, you’ll graduate with a better understanding of yourself and the world.
When you join Theta Chi, you’re not just joining a chapter at your school. You’re joining a lifelong network of more than 175,000 brothers, all working together to help you be and do your best. We look out for each other– you’re never alone with Theta Chi. Building a brotherhood is way more than signing a membership card or pledge card. We believe in a pledge process so that both you and we can determine whether the fit is right for everyone.
