[edit] Removal of Kappa Upsilon Chi references

Hi, after attending the Fifth Annual Leadership Summit and attending a Question and Answer session with our Founding Father, Tyler Beard, I had the opportunity to clear up the mistakes. Sigma Phi Lambda served for our inspiration after they founded on Texas Tech University. Three men tried to rush Sigma Phi Lambda when there was no male alternative. One of the founders of Kappa Upsilon Chi was an initiate in Phi Gamma Delta, a social GLO for men, and sat with the other three men and decided first to look around. They looked at Alpha Gamma Omega, Beta Upsilon Chi, Alpha Nu Omega. All three of these organizations had relatively long colonization timelines and therefore since some of the men were graduating, the decision was made to found Kappa Chi at TTU. If you would like to further argue this notion, please present factual evidence, not theories or drawn conclutions to support your writings.

If you would like to discuss this with our national board of directors, our founding fathers or anyone else in the organization, please feel free to contact me by e-mail at jczup@ufl.edu and I will be happy to redirect you to the appropriate sources.

Thank you.

[edit] Keeping Under Christ emerged from BYX

Despite someone's efforts to remove the information from the BYX and KYX entries about the origins of KYX, those origins are accurate, conform to the NPOV policy, and should be included for the information of the reader. The information can be corroborated by officials at both BYX and KYX.

Once again...please show me the information you got from any Kappa Chi official and please give us their names so they can be corrected! Jczup 01:10, 21 June 2006 (UTC)jczup
The above information was posted way back at the beginning of June when we first started arguing over this stuff. I'm going to headquarters this weekend and will attempt to show you my information. Thanks. Diezba 23:08, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, what were the results since I checked with our headquarters and nothing was on record. Thanks! 156.33.18.196 18:00, 25 July 2006 (UTC)jczup

[edit] The KYX-Editor Strikes Again

But this time, we're going to go ahead and try to find some compromise language. You can't deny that KYX was influenced by BYX.

[edit] 1st in Oklahoma ?

First Christian fraternity in Oklahoma is disputable. Sigma Theta has had chapter in Oklahoma since 1988. Sdwagers 23:14, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Response

Perhaps, but is Sigma Theta a national fraternity? I believe that is the understanding that the "Trivia" fact is trying to portray. Certainly there are local Christian fraternities all over the place, but BYX was the first national one to colonize there.

[edit] Response

Sigma Theta Epsilon has been a national fraternity since incorporation in 1925 (though name changes have occured). Even at lowest chapter numbers, STE has had a visible presence in OH, WV and OK. STE was certainly not just a "local" fraternity to the degree that you may be suggesting. The yearly National Conclave of Chapters has been held continously every year, well before the founding of BYX in the late 20th century.

For your reference, we had chapters in Oklahoma, well before BYX's creation.


Tau : University of Oklahoma (1949-68)


Epsilon, Beta Alpha : Oklahoma City University 1950-54; attempt at reactivation in 1957) (1988-2006)


Psi  : Southwestern State College (nka Southwestern Oklahoma State University)1955-57)

Beta Zeta : Northeastern State University(2002-present)


No offense, (and none taken (;) but please check your facts before laying claim to such trivia. I am happy to work together with you to verify any as I the STE national vice-president. (:
