FAQs
What's new this year?
The rules are the same-the game has changed.
We are excited to announce that we have divided all chapters into three groups based on the total number of initiates since Installation. These new divisions will increase competition and level the playing field, giving new chapters an opportunity to win. This year, our contests are based solely on dollars raised by the chapters within each division.

What happened to the "Most Donors" category?
We've introduced the new divisions this year to try and level out the playing field. We will review these changes following Founders Day. Perhaps "Most Donors" may return for a future Founders Day!
Absolutely! We know how busy everyone is, so you can certainly make your tax-deductible gift before April 10th.
Since 1953, the Foundation Chapter's mission has been to develop and provide financial resources to promote the academic, leadership, and service ideals of Theta Chi Fraternity. As a result, of decades of generosity from alumni and friends, tens of thousands of brothers have received millions of dollars in scholarships and have been provided with the only leadership training they may ever receive.
By making a tax-deductible gift, you help provide more than $300,000 in annual scholarships and send 500+ collegians each year to leadership and personal development training opportunities. Your gift, of any amount, reinforces the support of a strong alumni base whose ranks span far and wide. It signals to collegians that brotherhood does not end after receiving a diploma. It inspires them to be a Theta Chi for Life.
Can I also make a deferred or legacy gift?
