Rush Chi Phi at the University of Alabama

Joining a fraternity has many benefits. Aside from the benefit of being cheaper than living in a dorm and paying the University for food, it has the benefits of making lifelong friendships, meeting new people, and being part of an organization that can teach you values not only useful in social aspects of life, but in professional life as well.

Most people going to college for the first time barely consider fraternities. They think of the negative ideas the media has thrown out there and would rather not be a part of that. They especially think of the horrible hazing stories they hear.

Then, some how, some way, they are contacted or they meet a member of a real fraternity. Once they go meet some of the guys and see the house, they instantly know that its not at all like it is made out to be. We do not inflict harm onto any new member in any way during our pledging process. We are normal guys who joined a fraternity. We are the guys you hung out with in high school, just now in a different setting and from all over the state and country.  We are here to not only better ourselves, but to better our organization as a whole.  A vital part of making our fraternity better is having good men to pass our values and traditions onto.

What you can expect

Lifelong friendships
Its hard to explain what kind of relationship you have with your fraternity brothers. To say the least you instantly feel closer to them than any group of people you have before. You will always be brothers and the bonds of brotherhood last forever. Your brothers are those who are there for you to lean on, and there to lean on you. A brotherhood is a cohabitation, where everyone puts their best foot forward, and strives to better themselves, and everyone around them.

Meeting new people
Through Chi Phi, you will meet new people. You will have alot of interaction with the other Greeks on campus as well as various other campus and community organizations. We strive to have a full social calendar each semester. From rush parties to sorority swaps and dinners, there will always be something to do.

Tradition
The Chi Phi Fraternity is rich in tradition. Founded in 1824, the Chi Phi Fraternity is America's Oldest College Social Fraternity. Chi Phi was founded at the University of Alabama in 1920. Our nearly 182 years of excellence nationally, and 86 years at the University of Alabama are not by accident. We are not the best because we're the oldest...we're the oldest because we're the best.
