Theta Chi Fraternity was founded on Thursday, April 10, 1856 at 9:00 p.m. in the Old South Barracks on the campus of Norwich University in Norwich, Vermont, by two military cadets, Frederick Norton Freeman and Arthur Chase. The early history of Theta Chi Fraternity is closely connected with the history of Norwich University. In 1866 a massive fire devastated the university, completely destroying the Old South Barracks. This disaster prompted the university to move from Norwich, Vermont to its present location in Northfield, Vermont. During fall quarter in 1881, Norwich University was reduced to only 15 students and Theta Chi membership was reduced to one undergraduate member, James M. Holland. In November of that year, Phil S. Randall and Henry Hersey approached Holland and insisted that they be allowed to join Theta Chi; Holland agreed, thus saving the fraternity from extinction. Theta Chi Fraternity currently has over 150 active chapters and colonies across the United States and Canada and has initiated over 170,000 members since its founding. It is a member of the North-American Interfraternity Conference. As of May 2007, Theta Chi was the 9th largest collegiate male fraternity.

The Zeta Xi Chapter of Theta Chi fraternity in Davis has 14 habitable rooms for undergraduate members and as of May 2008 has 35 active members. Theta Chi rests in the perfect location across from campus and between two lovely neighbors; Sigma Alpha Epsilon Pi and Pi Beta Phi. Theta Chi has been located at the same 501 Russell Blvd location since 1970, providing it with the longest continuous run at a single location among fraternities.

Theta Chi placed 2nd for the men's bracket in Arrow Jam in 2005.

On April 5th, 2008, Theta Chi held a concert with performers including Zion-I and Mistah FAB. The fraternity plans to put on a concert for the 2009-2010 school year; so keep your eyes open.

"I believe in Theta Chi, its traditions and its ideals. Born of sturdy manhood, nurtured by resolute men, enobled by high and sacred purpose, it has taken its place among the educational institutions of America as a promoter of knowledge, an advancer of culture and a builder of character.

It inspires true friendship: teaches truth, temperence, and tolerance, extols virtue, exacts harmony, and extends a helping hand to all who seek it.

I believe in the primacy of Alma Mater: in the usefulness of my Fraternity, in its influence and its accomplishments and I shall do all in my power to perpetuate its ideals, thereby serving my God, my country and my fellow-man."

— Frank H. Schrenk, 1915
