Christian Fraternity colonizes University of Central Florida
 

KYX, or Keeping Under Chist, will be establishing its eleventh colony since 1993 at the University of Central Florida in Orlando this spring.

Fifteen men will be establishing the chapter with the help of a national representative living in the Orlando area and the University of Florida Theta chapter. They will be inducted this January and initiated this April by the UF chapter and members of the National Board of Directors.

This chapter marks the third chapter of Kappa Chi in the Sunshine State. The University of Florida chapter was founded by six men in 2004 and currently has sixty initiates and the Florida State University chapter was founded by three men in late 2005 and has seven men.

There are interest groups seeking to form new chapters of KYX at the University of Southern Mississippi, the University of Kentucky, New Mexico State University, University of Louisville and the Ohio State University.

My church youth group was called Kappa Chi back in the 70's.

Congratulations on the expansion of your franternity!

FYI: It's University of Louisville.

And congratulations on y'all's expansion.

That is a blessing and I love your name. :)

Wow, congratulations on your new chapter!

Would an all-male church group suffice?

Also, which was first BYX (brothers under christ) and KYX (Keepers Under Christ). Keepers doesn't make all that much sense not gonna lie.

But Keeping Under Christ (KYX) makes complete sense.

not really. God, why can't it just be Keeping Under Christ, an all male association?

I think BYX was founded here at Texas in the mid 80s

BYX was founded in 1985 at UT - Austin. They have twenty chapters in six states.

Sigma Phi Lambda was founded in 1988 at UT - Austin (Sorority). They have 22 chapters in six states I believe.

KYX was founded in 1993 at Texas Tech and we have 10 chapters and one colony in five states.

Also, we were founded by two men who were Phi Gamma Deltas and two guys who were involved in Christian Leadership at Texas Tech. They wanted to make a fraternity that was similar to a Traditional Greek IFC Fraternity that focused as a Discipleship for Christian Men similar to a Church Group.

The way we get it told is that the Fraternal bonds are strong as are bonds between Christians therefore the bond is strongest for us if we combine the two.

Top-tier old row then, eh?

I just want a chat with somebody over general life - sorry no flirty stuff - I'm not into --

Oh, now I get what he's saying. He's wondering why they aren't a group instead of a fraternity. I thought he was saying "Keeping Under Christ" didn't make sense.

Possible answer in addition to the one you provided: Because they want to be a fraternity. Probably in response to the culture of GLOs that they have witnessed so they want an alternative for people who live a certain lifestyle. This is a Christian fraternity whereas some fraternities are only founded on some Christian principles.
