Xi Chapter Facts
The Xi Chapter of Theta Chi was founded at the University of Virginia on January 26, 1914.The Eta Pi Rho Fraternity, that later became Xi Chapter, was established by seven members of the University of Virginia at that institution in 1913. The man instrumental in bringing about the organization was W. P. Hazelgrove, a transfer from Hampden-Sydney College and a member of the local fraternity there, Delta Delta that became Nu Chapter.
On April 7, 1913, a petition by Eta Pi Rho and signed by William A. Adams, L. L. Miller, G. E. Gwinn, T. E. Didlake, L. G. Burton, R. Guy Leebrick, S. M. Jett Jr., was presented to the Grand Chapter of Theta Chi for a charter.
The petition having been subsequently granted, the installation of Xi Chapter was held January 25, 1914, immediately following the installation of Nu Chapter at Hampden-Sidney College. The installation committee was composed of: Dr. Robert L. Irish, Edwin D. Huntley and E. Wesson Clark.
In the fall of 1968, Theta Chi Xi chapter moved from Carr's Hill to 600 Preston Place, its current residence.
