Theta Nu Xi?

lionlove · #1 10-10-2002, 10:26 AM

Has anyone ever heard of this organization? There's a group of students on my campus trying to start a chapter but they aren't giving much information about it. There's no forum here for it and I couldn't search for it because Nu and Xi are both too short for the search engine.

Is there a chapter of this organization on your campus? What do they do? It sounds like a national org but I'm not sure.

Although there was no chapter of Theta Nu Xi on my undergrad campus, I got to know an alumna of the sorority pretty well during grad school. It's a multicultural sorority that started in North Carolina and is expanding nationally. They have both social and community-service activities. If the sister I know is at all representative of their members, they must be an amazing group -- she is brilliant, cool, and funny.

We have Theta Nu Xi at my school (Georgia State, Zeta Chapter) and they are a great group of ladies. They're still kind of small, they have been here since 2000, but I think they'll do okay.

I think it's a very positive group and I'm happy it's established on a diverse campus such as ours. I wish them a lot of luck!

We have Theta Nu Xi at our school. I do not know much about them, because I'm new to the Greek system. What I do know is that somehow they are under the Panhel umbrella, yet they do not participate in formal rush. I know that information wasn't very helpful...

The girls that I have met from there all seem to be very hard workers, because they are a small chapter and yet they get a lot accomplished.

There is a chapter here at FSU as well. They had their recruitment week last month and it went well from what I had heard.

Here's our National website address:

www.thetanuxi.org

It has the national history and links to individual chapters. lionlove, if the young ladies have any futher questions, feel free to give them my email address and I can direct them to the proper person

thanks alot everyone. I haven't heard much about them. Mostly there are just signs up advertising that they want to get a group together. I'm not sure what role the national org plays in this yet, whether they're going to colonize from the ground up or if a local group will petition theta nu xi for a charter. As I said, I haven't seen or heard much about them on campus yet.

I checked out their website and it looks great! I wish the girls at my school the best of luck getting started.

I tried to PM you honey but your box was full!
Could some one please Pm and let me know the answer to a few questions:
1. How many actives does each chapter of Theta have?
2. Is Theta part of Panhellenic or Pan Hellenic or is it different on each campus dependngon the make up of thie girls?
3. Does Theta consider itself a social or service sorority (I know they do service)
4. Does Theta participate in the traditional rush process on any campus or is it an interview style process like the NPHC groups?Or both?
5. YOUR WEBSITES ARE BEAUTIFUL! But I was still curious, what are your colors? symbols etc. i know your mascot is the butterfly-very cool. And I love the ONE Love thing. Love it!When I was thinking of starting my own GLO I thought the butterfly would be perfect.
Anyway, thank you!!!!!

I cleaned out my PM box

Here are the answer to some of your questions:

1) The number of actives depends on the chapter. Our Nu colony has 3 actives because it was just recently founded. While our Alpha chapter has maybe 10 or 15 actives

2) Theta is neither Panhellenic or Pan-Hellenic. It is a reconginzed student organization and subjected to university and our National Board rules and regulations

3) Theta considers itself a service organization(but that doesn't mean we don't know how to party)

5) Our colors are Carolina Blue and Lavender

Hope this helps. If you are really interested in starting a chapter at your school, I urge you get in contact with our Director of Expansion. Her email address is on our National Website. Also our National Website is a valuable resource in getting a chapter started at your school

It is soo cool to hearing people talking about Theta Nu Xi. I have been a sister since Spring 2001. This sorority is absolutely AMAZING!! If anyone has any more questions, feel free to email me at ncsucheer2@yahoo.com

P.S. Hey, buttercup!!! Welcome to the sisterhood!! Email me sometime!

Theta Nu Xi Sisters:

I just viewed your website and was very impressed with your organization! It's wonderful to see a MCGLO that is truly diverse. There are some MCGLOs that aren't very diverse at all.

Best wishes as your sisterhood continues to prosper!

butterfly2001nc · #14 12-07-2002, 10:32 AM

I'm so excited! In the last week or so, TNX has just expanded to the University of Houston and the University of Virginia. Welcome my Nu-est sisters!

ONE Luv,
Dira
