Letter from the President
Hello!
Thanks 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, I am starting my third year studying Mechanical Engineering after working this summer at Barrett Woodyard and Associates. Since joining Theta Chi in the Fall of 2023, I have seen myself grow, learn, and mature as a student, friend and Brother in ways I could have never dreamed of before I came to Tech. Theta Chi has shaped my collegiate experience both socially and academically more than I ever imagined when entering tech, and I am incredibly proud to be able to lead this organization so that the next generation of theta chis can have the incredible experience that I have had.
To give a quick update on current events here at Alpha Nu, our membership remains strong with 72 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 find themselves as leaders in a plethora of organizations. To name a few, we participate in SGA, IFC, Club and Intramural Sports; Student Education Programs like FASET, VOICE and GUIDE; professional organizations such as the American Nuclear Society and Sports Business Club, and co-curriculars like undergraduate research.
Outside of academics, we continue to take the lead on campus and in the Greek community with mental health awareness. Our monthly group check-ins serve as a safe space for our brothers to share difficult experiences, stressful events, or just talk to one another to build stronger bonds. We have done our best to ensure the discussion of mental health on campus and in our chapter is supportive, prominent and powerful.
The Brothers of Theta Chi at Georgia Tech continue to be a part of one of the most social fraternities on campus, organizing and hosting events each and every week. Parties, Date Nights, Sorority Mixers, Semi-Formal, and Formal are all a part of our normal social calendar, as well as several other surprise events put on by our creative social chairs.
By focusing on our core identity as promoters of knowledge, advancers of culture, and builders of character, we continue to dynamically shape our brotherhood to best advance our common interests and ideals, while having a great time along the way.
As President, I am excited and honored to continue leading this fraternity in building brotherhood and nurturing relationships, giving back to the community that has positively and permanently shaped my character and developed me into a Resolute Man.
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, and hope to see you by the house!
Thanks,
Sam Maas
Chapter President 2026
