letter social college fraternity it was founded at rensselaer polytechnic institute in 1864 of all the social fraternities today theta xi was the only one founded during the civil war its grand lodge is headquartered in downtown atlanta since its inception theta xi has grown to include more than 60 000 initiated members currently there are approximately 45 active chapters and one colony the theta xi fraternity chapter house at rensselaer polytechnic institute is listed on the national register of historic places history edit theta xi was founded on april 29 1864 at rensselaer polytechnic institute in troy new york as an engineering fraternity 2 its founders were george bradford brainerd samuel buel jr henry harrison farnum peter henry fox ralph gooding packard thomas cole raymond nathaniel henry starbuck and christopher champlin waite 2 all of the original founders were members of a local fraternity called sigma delta established in 1859 to rival theta delta chi which was then a secret society at rpi debates were common and encouraged at sigma delta meetings however on the evening of october 30 1863 george brainerd tendered his resignation to the society this resignation was unanimously declined but ultimately created a rift soon after talks began circulating of affiliating with a larger organization such as sigma phi however when sigma phi declined to issue a charter this only increased tensions 1 on march 12 1864 voting took place for members of a new organization and on april 1 a committee consisting of waite buel brainerd and packard began preparing a new constitution by april 6 buel presented monograms for two new names theta xi and theta psi theta xi was chosen to avoid confusion regarding a local fraternity called theta psi at yale 1 within its first forty years six chapters were established at yale stevens institute of technology mit columbia university cornell university and lehigh university it was not until 1905 that a westward expansion occurred with chapters at purdue and a month later washington university in st louis the first west coast chapter came in 1910 at uc berkeley and in april 1921 the first southern chapter was founded at lsu 1 in 1962 talks began of folding kappa sigma kappa a smaller struggling fraternity into theta xi the merger was completed on august 20 1962 as a direct result several of theta xi s traditions were altered the coat of arms fleur de lis was changed to have crescent moons in tradition with kappa sigma kappa and the pledge pins were also changed to incorporate kappa sigma kappa s traditions diagonal white band the fraternity flower was changed from the white carnation to the blue iris finally the membership manual was changed from the theta xi pledge manual to the quest for theta xi in 1964 as a commemoration for the fraternity s centennial a new memorial headquarters was formally dedicated in st louis this served as the official home of the grand lodge until 2001 1 in 1974 the beta alpha chapter at georgia tech became a christian chapter while remaining a full member of theta xi and the georgia tech ifc the chapter remains christian today and is the only christian chapter of a secular national fraternity in the united states their model expanded to the gamma phi chapter at georgia southern university in 2008 however that chapter has since reverted to the traditional non religious status 3 circular reference beginning in 1999 theta xi began offering leadership academies to its active brothers that year the first president s academy was held to train new chapter presidents funded by the theta xi foundation in 2006 this was expanded to include rising stars academy which aims to make first year initiates more active in the fraternity 1 the theta xi fraternity chapter house at rensselaer polytechnic institute was listed on the national register of historic places in 2013 4 in 2014 theta xi celebrated its sesquicentennial in honor of this occasion the national convention was held in troy new york to commemorate the founding of theta xi 5 william s mason considered to be one of the greatest benefactors and supporters of theta xi was the main supporter of the fraternity s adoption of benjamin franklin as its patron saint although the fraternity had been headquartered in st louis since 1924 on october 3 2022 it opened new headquarters at 260 peachtree street in atlanta with the address for the theta xi foundation remaining in st louis 6 7 8 purpose edit the purpose of theta xi is to provide a college home environment for its active members in which fellowship and alumni guidance lead to wholesome mental moral physical and spiritual growth to that end theta xi actively supports and augments college and community efforts to make individual members more mature and chapter groups more useful units of society through its alumni and undergraduate leadership theta xi endeavors to assist each member to develop one intellectual curiosity that assures the highest scholarship rating consistent with his ability two habits that lead to better mental and physical health three sincerity in his association with others and confidence in himself four responsibility to chapter college community and country five leadership that comes from practicing the principles of democratic self government six interests and activities outside regular scholastic studies that employ spare time to advantage seven spiritual understanding that provides a reservoir of strength to draw upon when faced with conditions beyond comprehension 9 symbols edit theta xi s motto is juncti juvant or united they serve 10 the fraternity s badge is a monogram of the greek letters θξ with twenty pearls and either a diamond or ruby in the bar 2 its pledge pin is a white enamel circle with a blue shield 2 the fraternity s colors are azure blue and silver 2 10 its flower is the blue iris 10 its patron saint is benjamin franklin theta xi s
