Phi Kappa Chi is a locally founded Christian fraternity at Baylor University. Since 1988, Phi Chi has built a brotherhood of men committed to Christ and to one another.
The men entrusted to lead Phi Chi in faith, service, and brotherhood.
Phi Kappa Chi traces its beginning to December 1987, when two Baylor students, Ty Bollinger and Trent Hampton, began a conversation about starting something different. Over Christmas break, that conversation became a plan.
In January 1988, the name Philos Kruxos Xristos was coined, meaning "brotherhood centered on Christ." The very first meeting brought together 12 men in the basement of Baylor's Hankamer School of Business.
On April 21, 1988, Baylor University officially granted Phi Kappa Chi its charter. Unlike national chapters, Phi Chi was founded here, by Baylor students, for Baylor students.
Each spring, Phi Kappa Chi hosts the Light Your World Award Banquet to honor the Baylor professors, faculty, and staff who light up our world. Every Baylor student, not only members of the fraternity, is invited to nominate someone who has made a lasting impact on their life in and beyond the classroom.
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”Matthew 5:16
Gifts from alumni, parents, and friends help fund Phi Chi events, service work, and the life of the chapter. Every gift makes a difference.
