Beta Upsilon Chi is one of the premier Christian fraternities at The University of Alabama. With approximately 40 chapters across the country, the Alabama chapter is unique on campus for its serious brotherhood, peer accountability, community involvement, and high GPA, all while maintaining an active social presence through high-quality parties and events. BYX at Alabama prides itself on our involvement with sororities and our annual Island Party, which often boasts a well-known guest. Potential new members must be dedicated, committed to the BYX mission, involved in a local church, and must actively pursue Christ in their daily walk. Psalm 133:1.
Since its founding in 1920, the Tau chapter of the Chi Phi fraternity has been dedicated to the principles of Truth, Honor, and Personal Integrity. Our brothers come from all regions of the country, allowing us to learn from our differences and become better, more well-rounded men. Members of our chapter currently hold positions on the IFC Executive Council and the Student Government Association. Additionally, our large backyard hosts social events throughout the year. We invite you to learn more about our brotherhood.
Active / New Member Dues: $3,700 / semester
