Best Fraternity: Theta Chi

Despite common stereotypes of campus Greek life, Theta Chi is far more than a frivolous social club.

The Iota Phi chapter was established at the University of South Carolina in 2015, making it one of the youngest on campus today. Within less than a decade, this chapter has distinguished itself as an impressive force, now winning the title of Best Fraternity for the second year in a row.

Theta Chi frequently partners with the United States Organizations (USO), the nation’s preeminent nonprofit benefiting members of the U.S. military and their families. The fraternity also volunteers with the Keeping Midlands Beautiful initiative and hosts blood drives on campus.

Standing strongly by Theta Chi’s motto, “An Assisting Hand,” the members of Iota Phi support each other’s personal development into impressive young men. Outside of chapter activities, you’ll find the brothers involved in all corners of campus. They serve as University 101 Peer Leaders, volunteer with USC Dance Marathon and work as undergraduate research assistants. 

With each new pledge class, Theta Chi prides itself on fostering brotherhood, leadership and service to the Carolina community and beyond.
