Eta Xi

Quinnipiac University

The Eta Xi chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta was installed on November 4, 2006. In such a short amount of time, we have already established a firm foundation on campus and have made many strides toward becoming an important part of the Quinnipiac community. We have initiated traditions such as our annual philanthropic kickball tournament, Kicks for CASA, selling candy grams during the holiday season, and our annual Black and Gold Ball in the spring. Thetas at Quinnipiac strive to perform service events that involve and support the local community. We have collected prom dresses for a local high school, volunteered at an animal shelter, attended an ALS walk, participated in Relay for Life, and so much more. Already achieving more than we could have imagined, the women of Eta Xi have developed high aims and aspirations for expanding their chapter even further in the years to come.

Always Remember - THINK THETA!
