Dear Brothers and Friends of Theta Chi:

Today marks the 158th Anniversary of the founding Theta Chi Fraternity. It is with great honor and pride that I send this message of congratulations and best wishes for each of you.

Whether you are an undergraduate member, an alumnus, a parent, or a friend of Theta Chi, each of you have shared in some way in the Theta Chi "Experience". For many of us the decision to join this Brotherhood of men has provided us the "True North" in our lives. It has been our lifelong compass in helping us live by a set of worthy human values that have both endured and been tested by time.

On College and University campuses across North America each and everyday...young men continue to live by these values and add to the great heritage and history of our great fraternity.

We have all been blessed to find association with men of great character, great leadership, and great actions....These traits define the Theta Chi man.

So sometime today...pause if even for a moment and reflect on the impact that Theta Chi has made on your life and the life of others you know. Please join me in celebrating this historic day in life of ALL Theta Chi Brothers and accept my very best wishes for a meaningful and Happy Founders Day.

"STAND UP AND LEAD"

Warm Personal and Fraternal Regards,

Richard D. Elder

National President
