Memory/story of Theta Chi that can be publicly posted on website;)
It’s nothing big, but when Brother Andrew Reuss first brought me over to the house for the first time when I was still just looking at the Greek system at Wesleyan. I was pretty skeptical because of all the negative stereotypes that go along with Greek life, I was thinking that all Greek guys were “Frattastic”, so I was kinda brushing it all off. However Brother Reuss showed me that it wasn’t like that I came over and it was just him and a few other brothers gaming on a Friday night, not partying or doing anything like that but they were doing the things that I liked to do as well, so that’s what really got me interested was seeing Fraternity guys, being well in my opinion normal. I mean this wasn’t really a big life event like some of the others memories but it was one of my favorite memories from Theta Chi.
