A man is defined not only by his own actions and characteristics, but also by the company he keeps.

We are looking for intelligent, responsible, mature, goal-oriented, and well-rounded individuals to experience and strengthen our brotherhood at Auburn University. The Quest to be a Theta Xi begins on the day of your Association with our Chapter and is a journey you will continually experience, well beyond your initiation into the brotherhood, and long after your years in college. As Theta Xis, we do not say, “I was a Theta Xi in college.” Instead, an alumnus member will say, “I am a Theta Xi.”

In our quest to find new members to share in our brotherhood, we seek individuals who meet the following Standards for Membership.  Additionally, a potential member who meets these standards must also be aligned with Theta Xi’s Ideals and Values. If you feel that you meet these standards and empathize with the Fraternity’s values, please contact us through email, phone, or by filling out our Associate Member Application.

What is a Theta Xi Member?

Beyond the minimum standards, what exactly does it mean to be a Theta Xi Brother? What are the characteristics of the Auburn chapter, or more precisely, the Beta Zeta Chapter of Theta Xi Fraternity? The following are the values of Theta Xi, and these qualities are what we look for in each potential member:

Builder – Do you seek an active role in the activities you choose to be a part of? Do you seek to follow in the footsteps of others, or do you wish to choose your own path? Theta Xi members have the opportunity to mold themselves and the Fraternity in direction that they would like to go. We seek to break the typical Greek stereotypes you see in movies and be a group of respected and influential individuals. New members are encouraged to quickly take on leadership roles, including committee chairs and officer positions.

Goal-Oriented – Do you set goals for yourself, and do you complete those goals, or simply give up when faced with minimal resistance? Theta Xi members must not only have a vision of where they want themselves and the organization to be in the future. We do our best to overcome challenges and make sure these goals are met.

Socially Adept – Are you personable and easy to talk to? Theta Xi members portray the qualities of a gentleman in today’s society. Our members are able to communicate effectively with brothers, friends, colleagues, and new acquaintances.

Academically Successful – Do you fulfill your scholastic obligations? Theta Xi members must be a role model for other students and potential members. We expect our members to have an academic astuteness and to help fellow brothers in their undergraduate scholastic endeavors.

Athletic – Do you seek to better your physical health? Theta Xi is not a social-athletic club, but every man appreciates physical fitness and good competition that regular athletic participation commands.

Responsible – Do you meet your obligations when it comes to time and finances? Theta Xi members must meet these obligations. We examine and plan out how best to use our resources because poor planning inevitably leads to poor results.

Involved – Do you seek to participate in activities outside regular scholastic studies? Theta Xi members network in their campus and community. We seek to take part in all sorts of activities which help to better our brotherhood, as well as individual members.

Passionate – Do you seek to share the ideals you believe in with others? Theta Xi members seek to share the rewarding experiences of the brotherhood with their friends. We constantly strive to offer new members who align themselves with our ideals to undergo the same memorable experiences we have. Your association, initiation, and a lifetime of activities will become many of the high points of your life as a brother.

If you feel that these ideals represent your beliefs, we invite you to become a Theta Xi. Please review our Standards for Membership and fill out a Membership Application.

What are the Standards for Membership?

All potential members of Theta Xi must meet the following credentials:

• Male

• Involved in extracurricular activities, i.e. athletics, community service, campus organizations, church groups, etc.

• GPA:  Incoming freshman must have a High School GPA of 2.8 or greater to be considered for membership.  Current college students must have a 2.7 college GPA.

• Leadership: You must have demonstrated evidence of your leadership abilities.  This can be in the form of an Eagle Scout rank in Boy Scouts, community service, church involvement, National Honor Society, clubs, high school athletics, or anything else that you feel can demonstrate your ability to become one of the future leaders of our fraternity.
