Zeta Theta is located at the State University of New York College at Oneonta. The city of Oneonta lies midway between Binghamton and Albany, in the beautiful foothills of the Catskill Mountains. We were the first fraternity to become recognized by the College in over 10 years! Since our start here at Oneonta in 2003 we have remained one of the top performing fraternities on campus.
“I believe in the Chi Phi Fraternity. From its triple origin, Chi Phi sets forth and maintains values others in society have dared to compromise.”
- excerpt from the Chi Phi Creed
The Mission of Chi Phi
To build better men through lifelong friendships, leadership opportunities, and character development.
The Vision of Chi Phi
To grow the organization through a complete dedication to developing the full potential of all our members and building a strong, vibrant alumni network.
The Shared Core Values of Chi Phi Fraternity
Chi Phi was founded on the basis of Truth, Honesty, and Personal Integrity. These are timeless values, which guide the fundamental purposes of the fraternity. As with all dynamic organizations, there is a need to maintain relevancy in the lives of our members and society in general. To that end, Chi Phi has renewed its commitment to the founding values expressed in our ritual: Truth, Honesty, & Personal Integrity.
At the same time, Chi Phi has begun to explore a modern set of evolving core values, which can be used to guide our daily activities and functions. These core values offer contemporary definitions of the values that drive Chi Phi:
- Friendship - We will engage in mutually enriching relationships.
- Respect - We will respect each other, the fraternity, society, and ourselves.
- Honesty - We will interact in an open and truthful way.
- Responsibility - We will fulfill our moral expectations as individuals and as a group.
- Commitment - We will accomplish more than what is expected of us.
- Personal Development - We will build better men, better leaders, and better citizens
