My thanks go out to the Alumni Board and our new Advisory Committee who have been working diligently through all the issues that confront us. I’ll mention them all in this issue of Xi-Lights. First of all, the good news. We think we have a reasonable plan to generate rental income through the suspension period. […]
In March, when hazing allegations were first raised against five fraternities, the IFC and University directed all houses to immediately initiate their pledges. The 29 Theta Chi pledges from the Class of 2024 thus became active brothers in March 2024. All the undergraduate brothers automatically became alumni when National revoked our charter (except for the […]

With their superior knowledge of the rental market, […]

Several alumni have inquired whether donations are needed. We appreciate those alumni who are currently donating. We think we have a viable operational plan that will cover all expenses for the coming school year, and will soon have a plan in place for years 2-4 of the suspension. We anticipate significant expenses in the year […]
