Letter from the President
Hello!
Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. I’d like to extend to you a warm welcome from the Brothers of the Alpha Nu Chapter of Theta Chi here at Georgia Tech. Founded on the virtues of truth, temperance, and tolerance, Theta Chi is defined by our willingness to continue improving ourselves, our families, our country, and the diverse communities where we live and work. From our professional development and scholastic achievement to the life-long bonds of friendship and brotherhood we have built, my hope is that our site can show you a little bit of what we’re all about. This Spring of 2023, I am in my second year within the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering, and I’m using the semester to start a Co Op within the Georgia Tech Research Institute. Since joining Theta Chi in the Fall of 2021, I have seen myself grow, learn, and mature as a student and Brother in ways I never dreamed of before I came to college. The hard work of the men who came before me in developing Theta Chi to where it is now has truly inspired me to dedicate myself to carry on the torch of this house we call home and continue to contribute to its growth and prosperity. To give a quick update on current events here at Alpha Nu, our membership remains strong with over 70 active members. Our brotherhood comprises men from nearly every scholastic discipline, from Engineers and Computer Scientists to Business and Liberal Arts majors. On campus, our brothers go on to become leaders in a plethora of organizations. To name a few, we participate in SGA, IFC, Club and Intramural Sports, Student Education Programs like VOICE and GUIDE, and the GT Student Ambassadors along with many others related to our diverse interests and majors. Outside of academics, we continue to take the lead on campus and in the Greek community with mental health awareness. With brothers involved as Healthy Jacket Peer Educators, the Mental Health Student Coalition, and most brothers being QPR suicide prevention trained, we have played a huge role in ensuring the discussion of mental health on campus and in our chapter is ongoing.
The Brothers of Theta Chi at Georgia Tech continue to be a part of one of the most social fraternities on campus. The officers of our fraternity organize nearly every event under the sun. Parties, Date Nights, Sorority Mixers, Semi-Formal, and Formal are all a part of our normal social calendar.
Our commitment to a constant advancement of our culture separates Theta Chi from any other organization I have been a part of. Whether that be developing socially, opening discussions surrounding mental health, or working for higher academic achievement, Theta Chi seeks a dynamic culture that only improves.
As President, I am excited to continue leading this fraternity as a beacon of what it means to be a resolute man and give back to the community I have learned so much from. I encourage anyone to reach out to me personally if you are interested in what we do here at Theta Chi, or for you to share your experiences with our Chapter. I am looking forward to an incredible year with the men of Theta Chi Fraternity.
Best, Ryan Martin
Chapter President 2023
