Beta Upsilon Chi, Brothers Under Christ, ΒΥΧ (pronounced "Bucks") is the largest Christian social fraternity in the United States.^[1] Since its founding at the University of Texas in 1985, ΒΥΧ has spread to twenty-two campuses in nine states.^[2] Its purpose is, "to establish brotherhood and unity among college men based on the common bond of Jesus Christ," and its founding scripture is, "Behold how good and pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity." - Psalm 133:1.^[3] BYX seeks to set itself apart from other fraternities in its incorporation of cell groups where, separate from weekly fraternity meetings, small groups of men gather weekly to edify college men through Bible study, worship, and outreach and to promote brotherhood and friendship among its members.

History

Founding Fathers

ΒΥΧ was founded at the University of Texas in 1985 by the national founding fathers, and led by Wendel Weaver as the first president (who today sits on the National Board of Directors). This pioneering group of men saw the lasting bonds of deep friendship that Greek life fostered and felt that such an order, dedicated to Christ and the edification of one another, could lead to a powerful social witness on their campus. Thus, as an alternative to what was seen as the "normal" fraternity scene, the Founding Fathers of Beta Upsilon Chi established their Fraternity as Brothers Under Christ, and took the Greek letters Beta, Upsilon, and Chi to identify themselves to the world. They chose to make public their true name, Brothers Under Christ, so that they might always wear the name of Christ and demonstrate that one could remain true to one's faith and yet enjoy life in fellowship with others.^[3] To announce the founding of their Fraternity, the Founding Fathers organized the first Island Party on the campus of the University of Texas. Chapters around the country now hold their own Island Party annually as an evangelical outreach to the chapters' respective campuses and communities.^[2] The terms fraternity and sorority (from the Latin words and , meaning brother and sister respectively) may be used to describe many social and charitable organizations, for example the Lions Club, Epsilon Sigma Alpha, Rotary International, Optimist International, or the Shriners. ...

Going national

The process of growing from one chapter in Austin, Texas to a national organization across the country was slow at first. Initially, the alpha chapter rejected requests from Christian men at other schools to be initiated into the Fraternity or to start new chapters. Eventually, the leadership in Austin decided that this success of Beta Upsilon Chi should be shared with other campuses, and the Founding Fathers of Beta Chapter were initiated at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. The fraternity then quickly expanded its presence across Texas starting the Gamma and Delta chapters at Texas A&M University and Stephen F. Austin State University.^[2] Nickname: Location in the state of Texas Coordinates: , Country United States State Texas Counties Travis County Government  - Mayor Will Wynn Area  - City  296. ...

Inspiration for new fraternities

The influence of Beta Upsilon Chi on the Christian fraternity movement has been significant. What has been characterized as the Texas movement was associated with the rise of the Evangelical Christian movement and the founding of Beta Upsilon Chi in 1985. While the traditional social fraternity is a well-established mainstay across the United States at institutions of higher learning, alternatives - in the form of social fraternities that require doctrinal and behavioral conformity to the Christian faith - developed in the early twentieth century which continue to grow in size and popularity...

In 1988, only three years after BYX's founding, women from Texas established Sigma Phi Lambda, or Sisters for the Lord.^[5] Sigma Phi Lambda was influenced by BYX in their development, with Phi Lamb's establishment designed to be a "female version of BYX."^[6] This women's Christian sorority is considered by many to be BYX's sister sorority. Their official name, Sisters for the Lord, and their system of "cable groups" closely mirrors BYX.^[5] The University of Texas at Austin (often referred to as The University of Texas, UT Austin, UT, or Texas) is a doctoral/research university located in Austin, Texas. ... Sigma Phi Lambda (ΣΦΛ) Sorority is the largest womens fraternal organization for Christian women, or Chrisitan sorority in the United States with 22 active chapters, and the third of its kind, behind Alpha Delta Chi, founded in 1925, and Sigma Alpha Omega, officially founded in 1988. ...

After initially looking at BYX, Alpha Gamma Omega, Alpha Nu Omega, and Chi Alpha Omega, four men founded Kappa Upsilon Chi in 1993. The group was founded by men who led Christian ministries and were members of the Phi Gamma Delta social fraternity. Like other Christian fraternities, KYX sought to be a social alternative for Christian men, an option that was only available to women at Texas Tech at that time. ^[7] ΑΓΩ - Alpha Gamma Omega (aka AGO) is a national, Christ-Centered fraternity. ...

UGA controversy

In late 2006, the Pi Chapter of Beta Upsilon Chi at the University of Georgia was prevented from registering as a student organization by University officials "because the group requires its members and officers to share the group’s Christian beliefs."^[9] The University of Georgia (UGA) is the largest institution of higher learning in the U.S. state of Georgia. ...

After months of negotiation between University officials, student officers of the local chapter, and officials at the Fraternity's national headquarters in Texas, attorneys with the Christian Legal Society and Alliance Defense Fund filed a civil rights suit on December 5, 2006 in federal court against the University on behalf of the Fraternity.^[10] The Christian Legal Society is a non-profit, non-denominational organization of Christian lawyers, judges, law professors, and law students whose members profess to follow the commandment of Jesus to do justice with the love of God. ...

On December 10, published reports by the Associated Press indicated that the University [would] "remove the religion clause from the [University's anti-discrimination] policy for the Christian fraternity to settle this particular situation and is discussing 'an exception to religious discrimination (that) could be put into place much like an exception to gender discrimination is in place for same-sex social fraternities and sororities.'^[11] The Associated Press, or AP, is an American news agency, the worlds largest such organization. ...

Organization

Board of Directors

At the national level, ΒΥΧ is headed by a Board of Directors. This board is the ultimate authority and is responsible for the guidance of the fraternity. In relation to a company, a director is an officer (that is, someone who works for the company) charged with the conduct and management of its affairs. ... The terms fraternity and sorority (from the Latin words and , meaning brother and sister respectively) may be used to describe many social and charitable organizations, for example the Lions Club, Epsilon Sigma Alpha, Rotary International, Optimist International, or the Shriners. ...

The Board comprises the governing body of the Beta Upsilon Chi corporation, a 501(c)(3) organization, which controls the assets of the fraternity. They appoint the National Executive Director to run the daily business of the Fraternity. In conjunction with this Executive Director, they approve any charter changes. Executive director is a title given to a person who is the head of an executive branch of an organization or company. ... It has been suggested that this article be split into multiple articles accessible from a disambiguation page. ...

All members of the Board must be alumnus members of the Fraternity. The current members of the National Board of Directors are Wendel Weaver (Chairman), Chuck James, John Sherman and Brett Williams.^[3]

Executive Director

The BYX Executive Director is the national administrator of the Fraternity. Through his staff, he coordinates the activities of the Fraternity from its headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas. The Executive Director's staff is equally responsible for the day-to-day operation of the national fraternity, and staff from National Headquarters frequently visit the chapters. The National Executive Director is an ex officio member of the Board of Directors; he has a voice in decisions, but no vote.

The following men have served as Executive Director of Beta Upsilon Chi^[12]:

• Kyle Hoover, 1999–2001
• Kevin Peck, 2001–2004
• Jason Hoyt, 2004–Present^[13]

Chapter governance

Chapters are authorized by a Charter from the National Board of Directors and denominated by a letter of the Greek alphabet that corresponds with their order of admission into the Fraternity (for example, the University of Texas is Alpha Chapter).^[2] It has been suggested that this article be split into multiple articles accessible from a disambiguation page. ... The Greek alphabet is an alphabet that has been used to write the Greek language since about the 9th century BCE. It was the first alphabet in the narrow sense, that is, a writing system using a separate symbol for each vowel and consonant alike. ... The University of Texas at Austin (often referred to as The University of Texas, UT Austin, UT, or Texas) is a doctoral/research university located in Austin, Texas. ... Look up alfa, alpha in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

The Charter authorizes each chapter to work under a Chapter Constitution that provides for the election of chapter officers: typically a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, chaplain, and a pledge trainer.^[14][15][16] These officers are responsible for the administration of the Chapter for a calendar year, conducting ritual, overseeing meetings, organizing trips, implementing the pledging program, organizing parties, etc. The officers serve one year terms, and may only be re-elected once to a different office.

National meetings

Once each year, the chapter officers gather together for a National Leadership Conference, which consists of all the officers of the Fraternity and the national staff. This meeting is in the fall, and shortly follows the election of the local chapter leaders.^[17]

In the early spring of each year, the entire Fraternity is called together for National Summit, typically held outside of Dallas, Texas. The event is the primary unifying experience of BYX members outside of their common commitment to Christ and their shared experience in ritual and ceremony of the Fraternity. Its Bible studies, worship, fellowship, athletic competitions, and seminars on Fraternity issues attract the largest gatherings of Brothers Under Christ in any given year. It is also at Summit where the annual Delegate Convention of the Fraternity takes place.^[18] Nickname: Motto: Live Large. ...

Affiliating with local universities

Since its inception in 1985, chapters of Beta Upsilon Chi have chosen not to affiliate with the Interfraternity Council (IFC) at the school where they are established. This has proven controversial on some campuses, because it means that BYX does not pay IFC dues. On the other hand, IFC membership sometimes involves sanctioning rules and regulations which would be contrary to the purpose of BYX. Because of the potential for conflict inherent in such affiliations, the National Board of Directors continues to uphold a policy prohibiting local chapters from affiliating with host university IFCs.^[19]

Despite questions about organization and university structure, BYX continues to be an integral part of Greek life on the campuses where its Chapters have been established.

Cell groups

As Christian fraternities have proliferated across the country and into college campuses throughout the United States, there have been those who have questioned what makes each fraternity different. BYX has continued to grow rapidly -- sustaining itself as the largest Christian fraternity in the U.S. -- by holding firmly to the traditions that have caused it to stand out from among the local and national fraternities vying for resources and interest among Christian men in college.

The attribute of BYX chapters that most clearly delineates it from other Christian fraternities -- and certainly from non-Christian social fraternities -- is that all BYX members are a part of "cell groups."^[19] Cell groups were an original innovation of the Founding Fathers when they established the Fraternity at the University of Texas. These weekly meetings bring four to six brothers (and pledges, when there are pledges) together into a group for close fellowship, Christian accountability, and Bible study. Many times, brothers in Beta Upsilon Chi find that those with whom they share their cell group become their closest friends within the chapter and within their college. The University of Texas at Austin (often referred to as The University of Texas, UT Austin, UT, or Texas) is a doctoral/research university located in Austin, Texas. ...

The overall strength of the Fraternity's national and local unity is firmly rooted in this cell group structure, and their foundational place within Beta Upsilon Chi has led to its continued growth and longevity. Indeed, cell groups are one of the primary means by which the Fraternity's Christian character is maintained.^[20]

Traditions and symbols

All BYX chapters hold an Island Party each spring, celebrating its founding and sharing Christ through entertainment. Here, the Texas State Capitol dome is a backdrop to IP at Texas Alpha.

As with any Greek letter organization, Beta Upsilon Chi is a ritualistic organization whose pledge induction, initiation, and other ceremonies are esoteric and not open to the general public. Instead, these traditions serve to bind the brothers together such that any Brother Under Christ from across the country can feel welcome and among his brothers. Image File history File linksMetadata BYX_Texas_Alpha_Island_Party. ... Image File history File linksMetadata BYX_Texas_Alpha_Island_Party. ...

The University of Texas at Austin (often referred to as The University of Texas, UT Austin, UT, or Texas) is a doctoral/research university located in Austin, Texas. ...

In addition to the usual Greek practices of grips, words, and memory work, Beta Upsilon Chi also utilizes several symbols whose meaning is open to anyone:

• Founding Scripture. "Behold, how good and how pleasing it is when Brothers to dwell together in Unity!" --Psalm 133:1^[3]

• Colors. Purple and white.^[3]

• Coat of arms. Each part on the crest has a meaning. The crown at the top is the Crown of Jesus, the Prince of Peace, the King of Kings. The purple and white fields are the fraternity's colors. The royal purple represents our heritage as sons of God. The white field symbolizes the purity we have through Christ's blood. The three-stranded cord, as the Bible teaches, cannot be broken. It represents unity and the Trinity of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The communion chalice and wafer represent the blood and body of Christ. The cross depicts Christ's sacrifice for our salvation. The dove represents peace and the Holy Spirit.^[3]

• Signature event. Island Party

The rest of the Fraternity's traditions and symbols are closely guarded by the members of the Fraternity, whose oaths and duty compel them to maintain the secrecy that has kept BYX unique in Greek life. Not to be confused with Violet (color). ... White is the combination of all the colors of the visible light spectrum. ...

Chapters

Beta Upsilon Chi does not actively recruit men to start chapters. Brothers Under Christ grows through word of mouth from various sources, an example being brothers serving at summer camps or talking to friends from high school. Beta Upsilon Chi feels it is important to let God lead them to the campuses they should exist at rather than being proactive in chapter establishment.^{[citation needed]}

Current chapters

Beta Upsilon Chi is the largest Christian fraternity in the United States. The Fraternity is currently composed of 22 chapters in 9 states.^[2]
