Fraternities give you the opportunity to surround yourself with like-minded men who are driving towards similar goals. By joining Theta Xi at UWSP, we will help you grow, mature, and ultimately have a more well-rounded college experience, not to mention have a lot of fun!
Theta Xi prides itself on its diverse make-up, both inside and outside the classroom. Academically, brothers are normally spread about evenly between liberal arts, business, and engineering sciences. Outside of the classroom, each of our members shares different strengths and talents with the brotherhood, giving us many opportunities to learn about a variety of subjects. Our diverse background leads to successful collaboration on projects outside of Theta Xi as well, pooling the strengths of individuals to create superior efforts. We also have an excellent alumni organization of professionals and entrepreneurs who are more than willing to assist brothers by giving career counseling or even providing future employment. Theta Xi has initiated over 50,000 members nationwide since its inception in 1864, making networking possibilities nearly limitless!
Academic achievement is the primary goal of everyone in school, and we stress that fact. A Theta Xi is more likely to have better grades than someone who is not in a fraternity. We also strive to maintain a chapter GPA that is one of the best in the fraternity system. Each week we have set aside study tables which are available for our members where we meet as a group and work on academics.
The requirements to join Theta Xi Fraternity are:
A minimum 2.4 cumulative college GPA (or high school equivalency). You also must be willing to demonstrate your leadership ability. This can be in the form of community service work, student government, leadership in a high school or a campus organization, National Honor Society, sports clubs, or anything else that you feel can demonstrate your ability to become one of the future leaders of our Fraternity.
Be prepared to meet a lot of new fun and exciting people! Not only will you create a bond with the brothers of Theta Xi, but also with the entire Greek Community here at Stevens Point. The total number of those in the Greek system numbers well over 200. Additionally, the Theta Xi chapter at UWSP travels to leadership academies provided by our National Headquarters at least twice a year. At these academies you will be able to meet brothers from other chapters of Theta Xi from all around the country! Some of these include USC, MIT, Ohio State, University of Illinois, Auburn, Iowa State, Texas Tech etc...
Men that aren't willing to take responsibility for themselves as well as others will not be asked to join Theta Xi Fraternity. Most members would agree that the more effort that you put into Theta Xi the more you get out of it. During the associate member period, we expect that anyone interested in becoming a part of Theta Xi Fraternity would demonstrate his interest by coming to our events, joining the brothers for dinner or study. The viability of the chapter depends on every man fulfilling his commitment to remain active with the brotherhood throughout his undergraduate career.
Brothers will tell you that the time commitment is reasonable, especially since the brothers of the chapter determine their lifestyle and activities. So you will be participating in the events and programs that you have helped organize and plan.
