Chi Phi was established as a new alternative to Greek life on the Georgia Southwestern campus. Over the course of our existence, our accomplishments have reached the ideals set forth by our founders. The Chi Phi Fraternity has maintained the highest GPA of any men's social fraternity on campus. The brothers of Chi Phi also participate in such campus activities as The Student Government, Residence Life, Campus Activities Board, Zephyr Recruitment Team, Baptist Student Union, Concert Choir, and the Orientation Team. Our participation has helped us become recognized as a viable part of Greek Life. Along with academic excellence and campus participation, Chi Phi exists to promote brotherhood and friendship. The experiences we share have helped us to become closer as brothers. The bond of brotherhood comes from each of us and can never be compromised.

During the 1996-97 school year, 15 men resided on the second floor of D-wing in Complex III. They became close friends and participated in everything from intramural sports to Relay for Life. These men desired not only to be friends, but to be brothers. After careful planning and consideration, these men decided that the Chi Phi Fraternity expressed the same ideals and moral values as they. On May 27, 1997 these 15 men were initiated into and became the founding fathers of the Georgia Southwestern Colony of the Chi Phi Fraternity. The traditions are being made.
