T
heta Chi Chapter at the University of South Carolina is the 2018-2019 recipient of the National
Collegiate Chapter Achievement Award. The chapter had many successes this academic year and
were a wonderful role model for the other chapters in their province. Theta Chi has been awarded an
Impact Project Grant from SAI Philanthropies for the 2019-2020 academic year for a program titled
"A War With Ourselves: A Musical Residency Performance Exploring Race Relations." In addition to planning
that program and applying for funding, the chapter also raised and donated $2,000 to SAI Philanthropies,
Inc. this past fraternity year. Theta Chi also celebrated their 20
th
Anniversary this year, initiated 20 new
members, awarded a $250 scholarship to an incoming female music major, and participated in a leadership
seminar hosted by Kirk Randazzo, Ph.D., Professor of Political Science and Leadership at their university.
This was a busy year for Theta Chi, but they completed all of these activities with a smile and the spirit of
SAI. In the words of Bethany Tallman, Tau E Province Officer, "I believe Theta Chi has truly come together to
increase their presence this year in the music school and on campus, while fulfilling SAI National Objectives
wholeheartedly."
