Theta Pi Installation

The Theta Pi Chapter at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Conn. was installed on Nov. 18, making…

At its meeting earlier today Grand Council voted to establish a chapter at Loyola University Chicago, if invited to do so by the college Panhellenic.  If Theta is invited, member recruitment and initiation will take place fall 2018 or spring 2019.

Grand Council also approved the move of Epsilon Zeta/Mississippi to the Fraternity Housing Corporation, if approved by the Epsilon Zeta facility corporation membership. 

Friends,

It’s with tremendous sadness that I share news of Thea Roelofsen’s passing. You might remember that her mother, Lesley Roelofsen, stepped away from her alumnae district director responsibilities in late summer 2016 when young Thea fell ill with Ewing Sarcoma, a rare bone cancer. Lesley and Patrick made sure to pack as much living as possible into this past year for their young family.  If you had the good fortune of following the family’s inspiring journey via Facebook, you know what…

Hi everyone,

You may have noticed the desktop version of Theta Foundation's Facebook page is down. There is evidently a Facebook server issue affecting quite a few small to medium-sized Facebook business pages. It's hard to know how long the outage might last; Facebook is notoriously non-communicative about these problems. I have reported the error to Facebook, and at this point, we will just wait for the page to return.

Please note that the mobile version of the page appears to be unaffected.

Happy Halloween

Enjoy a pleasant and safe Halloween. We have four new blog entries this week for your reading pleasure.
