Phi Chi Theta

Co-Ed Professional Business & Economics Fraternity

Welcome to Phi Chi Theta

Welcome to the Phi Chi Theta's Zeta Beta Chapter (University of Michigan). We are a co-ed professional business and economics fraternity. Whether you are majoring in finance, electrical engineering, or dance, Phi Chi Theta is a great opportunity to make lasting friends, participate in interesting workshops and activities, and become involved at school.

Our History

Phi Chi Theta's Zeta Beta Chapter was founded on February 10th, 2002 here at the University of Michigan. The Zeta Beta Chapter is open to all students with an interest in Business or Economics. Over the past few years, we have been steadily growing into one of the University's premier pre-professional fraternities. We are continually looking for talented, accomplished, and intelligent people to add to our fraternities.


Our Purpose

Phi Chi Theta's purpose is to promote the cause of higher business education and training for all individuals, to foster high ideals for individuals in business careers, to encourage fraternity and cooperation among individuals preparing for such careers, and to stimulate the spirit of sacrifice and unselfish devotion to the attainment of such ends.


Our Motto

"May the candle of knowledge guide our ship to achievement."


Our Creed

I do solemnly promise to be true and loyal to the ideals of Phi Chi Theta, to strive at all times to uphold its standards and to work always for its best interests.

Phi Chi Theta's official colors are purple and gold, and it's official flower is the Iris.
