HISTORY OF THE CHI PHI FRATERNITY
The Chi Phi Fraternity, as it exists today, is the outgrowth of three older organizations, each of which bore the name of Chi Phi. These organizations were the Chi Phi Society, founded at the College of New Jersey (Princeton); the Chi Phi Fraternity, established at the University of North Carolina; and the Secret Order of Chi Phi, founded at Hobart College.
On February 21st, 2001 The Schreiner Colony of Chi Phi was established at Schreiner University by 6 brothers. Following them are 4 men known in our history as the Alpha Pledge Class: Drew Cory, Brian Lake, Brenden Villa-Nueva Le and Michael Gorman. The alpha pledge class persevered the longest and remained members of the colony for the next 4 years.
On June 24, 2005, the Schreiner Colony of Chi Phi became the Iota Theta Chapter.
