K KYX: A Brief History appa Upsilon Chi is a national fraternity for Christian men composed of Christian collegians seeking to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. Four men of differing denominational backgrounds created the Alpha chapter in the winter of 1993 at Texas Tech University in response to the demand for a Christian brotherhood on campus. Because of the desire of young men to become part of a Christian brotherhood, and its dedication to upholding Biblical Christian Standards, Kappa Chi has grown to eight chapters. Four new chapters have recently been inducted.
E History of Eta Chapter ta chapter began seeking out this sort of brotherhood in the Fall of 2003. Soon after making contact with the Alumni body of KYX, nine pledges were inducted in February of 2004 and seven were initiated into the fraternity in Weatherford, TX in August of 2004. Eta chapter continues to grow and develop in its walk with Christ due in large part to the accountability and support offered by KYX and its brothers.
Statement of Purpose Kappa Upsilon Chi exists for several reasons. Our greatest desire is to glorify our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We also seek to uphold and maintain biblical Christian standards, to be an influence in the community through servant lifestyles, to pursue a positive attitude and spirit, and to help others strengthen their academic achievement, enabling them to be what the Lord calls them to be. We do this by submitting to the Lord our God and allowing him to direct our lives stated: "Search me, oh God, and know my heart. Test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." Psalm 139:23-24. Since our purpose does not parallel with Greek organizations and the Interfraternity Council, we choose not to abide by the rules and the rights of the IFC. We seek solely to do the will of God.
Eta Chapter Mission Statement The Eta chapter of Kappa Upsilon Chi is in existence for several reasons. Our greatest desire is to honor God by using the talents He has blessed each of us with to influence the campus of Lamar under the leadership of Christ. We also seek to serve one another as brothers in Christ, serve the community of Beaumont and surrounding areas, move forward as a unified body of disciples, and encourage one another by promoting academic achievement. We do this to become the dynamic and engaging men of God that we are called to be. “We preach about him. With all wisdom we have, we warn and teach everyone. When we bring them to God, we want them to be perfect as people who belong to Christ. That’s what I’m working for. I work hard with all of Christ’s strength. His strength works powerfully in me.” Colossians 1:28-29
