This, in turn, becomes useful in a variety of situations. For example, room requests in a chapter house may be filled by seniority, or the opportunity to move out of the house if there are a sufficient number of members to fill the house. The assignment of roster numbers by the International Headquarters will not affect this practice, in any way. A silver certificate presented by the Grand Chapter to all chapters which have a grade point average above the All Men's Average on their respective campuses for the preceding academic year. Data is collected for this competition by the International Headquarters, as many colleges and universities maintain these records and send the information to each headquarters.
Scholarship is a primary objective of Theta Chi Fraternity.
Scholarship programming in a chapter may range from a formal tutor system involving all members and pledges to quiet hours, guest speakers, the establishment or development of a good resource library, study areas with desks and chairs, and a minimum grade point average to be initiated into our Fraternity to competition among members and scholarships, recognition plaques and special dinners. Held as part of our Convention since 1939, the School of Fraternity Practices will celebrate its 26th anniversary at the 136th Anniversary Convention in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in August of 1992. The School of Fraternity Practices is a three day program of workshops, general sessions, small group meetings and presentations covering all aspects of chapter operations and issues facing Theta Chi and all men's fraternities today. Composed of alumni of our Fraternity who have been members of Theta Chi for at least twenty five years. This includes members of local fraternities which were installed as Theta Chi chapters, and who have met the 25 year requirement.
