The Kappa Beta Chapter of Theta Chi was brought to Long Island University - C.W. Post Campus on February 28th, 2014 by brother Anthony Musacchio.
Musacchio was a member of the Fall 2011 Sigma Class of the Epsilon Zeta Chapter at the University of Tampa. When Anthony transferred to LIU he started up Theta Chi's colony with 11 other undergraduate men and grew the colony to a chapter filled with more than 25 active brothers.
In our three years on campus our chapter has been recognized for winning: Highest Fraternity GPA (2015, 2016, 2017), winning 1st Place in the Metal of Honor Challenge (2014, 2015), Most Improved Chapter of the Year (2016), and the Outstanding Collaborative Program Award for our Silent Disco Event (2017), to name a few.
We're proud to be a home for brothers whose majors range from Musical Theatre to Biology and who come from as near as Bethpage and as far as Taiwan.
​
The brothers of Kappa Beta thank you for taking the time to learn more about our brotherhood, as well as our National and Local History. We sincerely hope that you find a home in Theta Chi just like we did.
