Best Fraternity: Theta Chi

LENDING A HELPING HAND to their surrounding community is something that the Theta Chi Fraternity at USC embodies. The 160 fraternity members work closely to help veterans and their families through their philanthropy, United Service Organizations. This fall, the brothers put on a successful fundraiser in which a fraternity member had to run a mile for every $10 donated. The fraternity also raised money through their philanthropy by bringing a petting zoo to campus. After students donated, they had the opportunity to meet and interact with several animals.

Since arriving at USC in 2015, Theta Chi has engaged in community service. Their leadership showcases this idea of giving back to the community that has given them so much.

“The best leader is the best servant,” Paul Scutti, Theta Chi’s president and a third-year finance and accounting student, said.

Leading a fraternity is not an easy task. However, Scutti has created an environment where all of the brothers are brought together, regardless of year or pledge class. The close bonds of these brothers are what sets Theta Chi apart from any other fraternities at USC, bringing them home the win of Best Fraternity on USC’s campus for 2025.
