BELIEVE:
30 Days of Giving Kickoff
"I believe in Theta Chi,
its traditions and its ideals..."
About: 30 Days of Giving
Over the next 30 days, we're rallying support to raise $50,000 by October 16th in support of the Fraternity's historic endowment campaign, BELIEVE!
Your gift in the next 4 weeks will support the Foundation Chapter's goal of raising $22 million by 2028 to endow the Fraternity's leadership education and training programs, alumni and chapter support initiatives, and the Museum, Archives, and History Program, to provide long-term stability for the Fraternity's future generations of Resolute Men.
Why $22 Million and Why now?
A professional firm, specializing in fundraising and endowment campaigns, worked hand-in-hand with the Foundation Chapter and other Fraternity leaders to determine BELIEVE's current dollar-amount goal before our public announcement, fueled by a desire from the Fraternity's own alumni to endow these important initiatives.
As the Fraternity continues to grow in record numbers, the need to support our brotherhood is greater now than ever before. We BELIEVE in the future of Theta Chi; now is the time to support our future Resolute Men.
The success of the Fraternity, the desire of young men to join Theta Chi, and the beneficial experience we all enjoyed signal that alumni still BELIEVE in Theta Chi and have the desire to extend a Helping Hand to brothers whenever possible, and wherever he or they may be.

Stories:
Keegan Valentine (Eta Psi/UAB 2028)
"Theta Chi has shaped me beyond what I expected when I joined. Joining the Fraternity began as a search for community during my transfer to the University of Alabama at Birmingham however, it quickly became the most formative experience of my college career. Through my involvement in the Fraternity, I have grown as a student, a leader, a mentor, and a brother committed to the success of those surrounding me."
Peter Vlahakis (Delta Mu/Texas 2027)
"Theta Chi has been one of the most meaningful parts of my college experience. It has given me a strong community and helped me grow as a leader through serving as Brotherhood Chairman. Those experiences strengthened my communication, organization, and teamwork skills, which I now apply while helping lead UT Austin’s Baja SAE engineering team. I hope to one day give back to future Theta Chi members in the same way."
