This year was another record breaking year for Theta Chi as it pertains to The Sacred Purpose Movement and our Vice Presidents of Health and Safety. Theta Chi Fraternity Chapters across North America hosted over 335 health and safety related events and worked with over 178 clubs and organizations on their campuses. The data represented below is from the 101 reporting chapters and will continue to rise as we further our communication with Vice Presidents of Health and Safety this summer. The 335 health and safety related events distribute as follows;

Theta Chi Fraternity was also proud to announce our Iota Sigma Chapter at Towson University as the recipient of the second annual David L. Westol Sacred Purpose Award. This is fantastic news as it represents the continued success of The Sacred Purpose Movement and the dedication of our Vice Presidents of Health and Safety around the world. As we continue our communication with the Vice Presidents of Health and Safety we will keep the numbers of events updated.
With the summer months upon us, it is important to start planning your campus outreach before the academic year commences. We have set a goal for our Vice Presidents of Health and Safety to execute over 550 events for the 2015-2016 academic year! It is important to keep in mind that when electing your chapter’s Vice President of Health and Safety that there are requirements and obligations that he must meet throughout the year. Those requirements and obligations include recruiting and training a Health and Safety Advisor, holding seven health and safety related events throughout the year and communicating regularly with the International Headquarters.
We will continue to provide top-notch education for our Vice Presidents of Health and Safety at our Mid-Year Leadership Conferences and various other educational events held throughout the year. Together, we can make 2015-2016 another stellar year!
