Theta Chi - UMass

We had a blast at the Newman Center’s Pig Roast this evening! We are so lucky to have the best next door neighbors in the world!

Be sure to check out our instagram page to see what some of our brothers are up to this summer by pursuing their professional goals after college!

Reminder to all Theta Chapter Alumni: This Saturday (May 4th) we are hosting our annual Alumni Event at the house. Be sure to make a trip out if you can, we would love to host our alumnus brothers!

We hope to see you there and have a great day of brotherhood.

What a generous act! Brother Gunshenan caught a lining foul ball at the Red Sox last night, but watch what he did after. The MLB even took notice of this special moment.

As Umass Dance Marathon has come to an end this year, we are proud of our brothers on the FTK steering committee for helping raise a collective $282,123.76 for the Baystate Children's Hospital!

We are proud to be the highest fundraising Greek organization on campus, raising $18,205.89 for the kids!

Thank you to everyone who donated and helped raise money for a great cause.

Today, we celebrate 163 years of brotherhood. On this day back in 1856, Frederick Norton Freeman and Arthur Chase held their first meeting of Theta Chi in the Old South Barracks at Norwich University.

Since then, Theta Chi has been producing resolute men all across the country, and even abroad!

To all Theta chapter Alumni,

This year our Chase Classic Alumni event will be happening on May 4th, 2019. The Golf tournament is tentatively set to be played at Cherry Hill Golf Course, and a cookout will follow the tournament in the afternoon at the house. More details to come as we get closer to the event!

See everyone then!

Brothers Zach Sturm, Nick McNulty, Filippo Petrini and Tom Martin are on the steering committee for UMass For the Kids. This year, UMass FTK has an ambitious goal of raising $300,000 for the Baystate Children's Hospital. Sadly, Baystate Children's Hopsital does not receive any state funding. However, through the work of people like our brothers on the steering committee the kids in need can get all the help possible.

Brother Sturm on his time with Umass FTK: "Over the past year as president, and two years on steering committee for UMDM has given me so much. Every person can raise money for a charity but when you get to interact with the people you directly affect, it changes your perspective and your emotional connection with the cause in a different way. That is something that is my goal when I talk to every single person about the Dance Marathon"

As a chapter, we have pledged to raise $15,000 for UMass FTK this year. To help support Umass For the Kids, click the link below.
