our phase I packet is actually pretty helpful in explaining KYX...

and BYX's is...

Thanks for the UK update.

I noticed in the Phase I packet (well done by the way) that the founders were (are?) members of Phi Gamma Delta. May a Kappa Upsilon Chi member also be a member in an IFC/NIC/NPHC organization? (Duel membership) And out of curiosity, did the founders resign their membership from Fiji?

Also, I'm a tad confused as to why you listed another fraternity's packet. Is there any relationship (relevance) between Beta Upsilon Chi and Kappa Upsilon Chi?

BYX and KYX started around the same time in Texas. We're not linked or anything but are both growing pretty fast so I figured to give all the information as a good journalist I should include BYX.

You CAN technically be in KYX and an IFC but the time commitment for both is pretty heavy.

Gotcha. And thanks again.

I helped start the BYX at Southern Miss. We were already going through the process when the issues at UGA and Mizzou became an issue. BYX does not have anything limiting someone from doing BYX and an IFC/NPHC fraternity, but it is a large commitment and you must be able to make the commitment to do both. I think that Christian frats aren't growing because of the publicity, but because of the wanting to see something different on the fraternal scene. I don't know about KYX, but most BYX chapters have regular events with IFC fraternitys and NPHC's like stepshows, mixers, etc.

I am not completely sure that IFC will accept a Christian fraternity because they limit based on religion. It is great to see KYX, BYX and other Christian GLO's growing in numbers.

Also, I don't think they resigned their membership. They were seniors and loved FIJI from what I know, they just felt the need for this for guys that were Christian and wanted a fraternity that was concentrating on Christian development. (Not to say that IFC's don't have Christian roots and tradition and you CAN't be a Christian and be in an IFC or our Greek Bible Study obviously wouldn't work!)
