Theta Chi Fraternity congratulates J.D. Ford (Beta Lambda/Akron 2005) on his election to the U.S. House of Representatives, where he will represent Indiana’s 5th Congressional District.
Before entering public service, Brother Ford served the Fraternity as a Leadership and Education Consultant from 2005 to 2006, Director of Recruitment and Expansion from 2011 to 2013, and Chief of External Relations from 2016 to 2017. Through those roles, Ford supported chapters, expansion efforts, and the continued growth of Theta Chi across North America.
Ford joins 27 other Theta Chi brothers who have served in the United States Congress, continuing a longstanding tradition of members serving their communities through elected office and public service.
