The Beta Lambda Chapter of Theta Chi Fraternity was founded on February 21, 1942. Before that the chapter was a local fraternity called Chi Theta Tau. Chi Theta Tau aspired to take a National Fraternity sponsor. The first choice the chapter had in mind was Beta Kappa. During this time Beta Kappa was facing financial problems and was later absorbed by Theta Chi Fraternity. But prior to Beta Kappa's integration into Theta Chi, Chi Theta Tau decided to petition Theta Chi Fraternity for a charter. That petition was granted and The Beta Lambda Chapter of Theta Chi Fraternity was born.
After 52 years of operation as a chapter of Theta Chi Fraternity it was closed due to low membership. The doors of our fraternity were not closed long. Due to the hard work of our Founding Fathers and some loyal Alumni the chapter was reinstalled on April 4, 1997.
When the chapter closed in 94' much of our local history was lost. Due
to more Alumni involvement we are building on this section. If you have any information about the local history
of our chapter please e-mail Ron Spicer.
Please visit this section again in the future for more information regarding the history of our chapter.
