Theta Chi Fraternity was founded in 1856 at Norwich University in Vermont. Since then, it has grown to become one of the largest fraternities with over 147.000 initiates since its founding. Initiated at Westminster in 1966, the Zeta Lambda Chapter of Theta Chi prides itself on involvement on campus and in community by lending 'the helping hand.' Since its founding, Theta Chi has been a promoter of knowledge, an advancer of culture, and a builder of character, while inspiring true friendship both inside and outside its brotherhood. In order to be a part of Theta Chi, male students must maintain an overall GPA of 2.0, pay dues to both the chapter and national fraternity, and meet other fraternal selection requirements.
