Chi Brother Jack DeBoer was the featured speaker for Spring 2001. Theta Chi takes a strong stance against hazing of any type. A hazing-free environment was one of the principle reasons that many of the first members joined Theta Chi after the reorganization. Fraternity policies have taken this commitment one step further. New Members are given the same rights as all other fraternity members including the right to run for fraternity leadership positions and the right to attend chapter meetings.
All members have the option to live in or out of the chapter house.
To combat hazing around the country, all New Members must be initiated within 8 weeks of joining the fraternity. Theta Chi at KU utilizes a 9-week education program in which New Members are initiated at the end of the 5 th week. We feel that this program emphasizes our commitment to equality of all members. Our education program teaches New Members our local and national history, study skills, fraternity ideals, and how to get involved on campus. Theta Chi has proven to be a leader at the University of Kansas.
