Theta Chi has created its own anti-hazing hotline. If you are being hazed or are aware of others being hazed, call our anti-hazing hotline at 1-855-824-4840.
We will not tolerate any hazing-related activity which demeans, embarrasses, threatens, frightens, implies one member is superior to another or that initiation must be earned through personal services or meaningless activities for initiated members.
Membership in Theta Chi Fraternity requires you to uphold and live by the ideals and principles of Theta Chi as described in the Fraternity’s Creed, The Constitution and Bylaws of Theta Chi Fraternity, Inc., andThe Risk Management Standards and Insurance Manual of Theta Chi Fraternity, Inc.
From our Constitution and Bylaws:
Article V, Section 11
The Fraternity prohibits absolutely all physical hazing, paddling, uncalled-for humiliation, and public display in connection with New Member education and pre-initiatory activities, and subscribes to the North-American Interfraternity Conference resolutions and the Fraternity Executives Association’s “Statement of Position on Hazing and Pre-Initiatory Activities” which condemn all forms of hazing in connection with New Member education and pre-initiatory activities. The active chapters shall carry out the Fraternity’s policy and conform strictly to this policy, not only to escape the danger of bringing discredit to the Fraternity and injuring the entire fraternity cause, but also to build higher respect for the chapters and the Fraternity in the minds of New Members and to instill a finer type of loyalty thereby. The Fraternity prohibits all forms of public initiation, and pre-initiatory and initiation activities shall not be permitted to interfere in any way with the scholastic obligations or class attendance of those involved.
