Our Founding

Eight Founding Fathers:
- Peter Henry Fox

Through its alumni and undergraduate leadership Theta Xi endeavors to assist each member to develop:
- Intellectual curiosity that assures the highest scholarship rating consistent with his ability
- Habits that lead to better mental and physical health
- Sincerity in his association with others and confidence in himself
- Responsibility to chapter, college, community, and country
- Leadership that comes from practicing the principles of democratic self-government
- Interests and activities outside regular scholastic studies that employ spare time to advantage
- Spiritual understanding that provides a reservoir of strength to draw upon when faced with conditions beyond comprehension
