Beta Upsilon Chi
BYX
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.

Delta Chi
ΔΧ
The Delta Chi Alabama chapter boasts a 90% graduation rate through the last 5 years. We strive to produce educated, capable young men, who are ready and able to enter the workforce or pursue graduate-level education. We also take a very vested interest in philanthropic fundraising and since the beginning of the fall of 2017 have raised over $10,500 for the Jimmy V. Foundation. At 125 active members, Delta Chi has the largest number of members relative to our house’s location, and the chapters overall average GPA currently stands at 3.08. As a result, we have a very large amount of resources accessible to our members through alumni networking, member support, and social budgeting. Delta Chi recruits based on leadership ability, academic performance, overall willingness to take initiative, and dedicated to a cause.
