PRESIDENT’S WELCOME
Spring 2025 Recruitment
On behalf of the brothers and sisters of the Zeta Chapter, I would like to welcome you to the official website of Phi Chi Theta at Boston University. I sincerely encourage you to explore our website, and learn more about our chapter's story, the story of the brothers that make up the Zeta Chapter.
The Zeta Chapter is made up of passionate, compassionate individuals who come together to foster a community of brotherhood, growth, and success. Each brother is unique in their own ways, coming from different parts of the world, with different backgrounds, but with the common goal of success. We leverage our combined unique experiences to build a community that aids its members in personal and professional development, regardless of conflict in backgrounds or interests.
My personal experience as a brother of Phi Chi Theta has not only opened countless opportunities, but has paved ways for deep connections with individuals who I wish to see succeed, and likewise hope for my success. Beyond the brotherhood, I have gained access to a multitude of channels for personal and professional growth. Being surrounded by individuals who strive for similar levels of success has inspired me to push myself further and reach new heights.
Through our shared experiences, we have cultivated a strong support system that extends far beyond the confines of our chapter. Our alumni network spans across various industries and locations, providing invaluable resources and mentorship for our current brothers as they navigate their academic and professional journeys.
As the current president of the Zeta Chapter, I am immensely proud of our accomplishments and the unwavering dedication of our brothers. Thank you for your interest in Phi Chi Theta. I invite you to explore our website to learn more about our chapter, events, and how you can join our brotherhood. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at pct.bostonu@gmail.com or connect with us on social media.

ZETA CHAPTER HISTORY
The Brotherhood Revitalized
Phi Chi Theta is a national co-educational business fraternity founded on June 16, 1924 in Chicago, Illinois. Founded by six women, Phi Chi Theta was formed from the merging of two competing business fraternities, Phi Theta Kappa and Phi Kappa Epsilon. With over 20,000 members and alumni across the country, Phi Chi Theta continues to expand. Phi Chi Theta is a member of and affiliated with the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the Professional Fraternity Association (PFA), and the College Fraternity Editors Association (CFEA).
As one of the eight original founding chapters of the national fraternity, Phi Chi Theta Zeta was originally chartered at Boston University in the 1920s. After disbanding in the 1970s, a team of 11 students met in 2014 with the mission of reactivating the local founding chapter. Today, Phi Chi Theta Zeta has over 60 members, all with the mission of leveraging their professional careers to provide positive social change to the world around them. Open to all majors and minors, Phi Chi Theta is leading the way for innovative and forward-minded students to come together to develop their professional interests. With an emphasis on technology, entrepreneurship, and social responsibility, Phi Chi Theta is a unique addition to the professional fraternity scene on campus.
