Theta Xi Fraternity at SEMO

Against the backdrop of the Civil War, eight close friends, students at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, founded Theta Xi Fraternity with the intention of building an organization, which would be national in scope. The date was April 29, 1864 and from these roots, the principles and purposes joining our founders together have appealed to over 60,000 students at colleges throughout the country.

The long lasting experience is unique...

The long-lasting, even lifetime experience these members have enjoyed, and which is now being made available to you, continues to be marked by memories of countless good times shared with true friends – Brothers in the Bonds of Theta Xi.
It is unique because, with your fraternity brother, you share and subscribe to a common purpose based upon high ideals that have appealed to men throughout history. In working and enjoying college life together to reach mutually decided upon goals, the friendships you develop will continue throughout the years, making your Fraternity experience with Theta Xi truly a lifetime experience.

Theta Xi also provides you with an opportunity to expand your personal development beyond areas available to most college students.

These will provide you with valuable tools in the areas of communication and leadership that will continue to serve you well beyond your college years.
