The Eta Alpha Chapter currently stands at over 100 members. Founded in 1970, our chapter is one of the oldest on campus, and our success reflects that.
Eta Alpha is one of the most involved fraternities at Clemson University. In 2025, we received the Award for Chapter Development and the New Member Program Award from the Theta Chi Grand Chapter. Additionally, we recently won awards for Chapter Operations, Community Service, Internal Cooperation, Member Education, Safety, and Social Programming from Clemson Fraternity and Sorority Life.
Members of Theta Chi are held to a high academic standard. In the most recent semester (Fall 2025), 14 brothers made the President’s List and 27 made the Dean’s List.
The brothers of Eta Alpha love to give back to the community that they are a part of, raising money through Philanthropy (see “Philanthropy” tab for more info) and working on numerous community service projects in the greater upstate area.
The men of Theta Chi constantly strive to improve their community, and we hope to continue our success at Clemson University.
The Resolute Man
The Resolute Man serves as a guide to a meaningful and well‑rounded college experience. It outlines the true expectations and values of membership in Theta Chi Fraternity, helping our brothers make the most of their time at Clemson University. More than that, it prepares every Eta Alpha alumnus to carry these principles into life after graduation.
Our Sacred Purpose
The Mission of Sacred Purpose is to protect our brothers and our campus community by providing health and safety education. It is centered on five different topics that affect today’s collegiate men:
- Alcohol and Other Drugs
- Fire and Life Safety
- Hazing Prevention
- Sexual Misconduct Prevention
- Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Awareness
“By living out our Sacred Purpose, we are committing to one another. Whether it is assistance or protection, we will make sure that all our members are free to live out the best lives that they can.”
