Spring Rush is here!

For details, visit the “Join ΘX ” page.

The Theta Chi Fraternity at UC Davis is pleased to say that it has recently passed an initiative to recycle all plastic cups and aluminum cans through out the year. The Greek community hosts several dozen public events every quarter, which add up to tens of thousands of plastic cups and aluminum cans that get thrown in the trash. Through our program, all those cups and cans that would otherwise go into the trash, will instead go through a company which ships them back to the manufacturer which will recycle them  for a lessened impact on the environment. Theta Chi is the first IFC Fraternity to institute this program and our hope is that through our example, we will lead the other houses on campus into a culture of environmental awareness.

Help give these children the opportunity they deserve.
