HISTORY
Fraternity History
Beta Upsilon Chi was formed at The University of Texas at Austin in the spring of 1985 by a handful of Christian men who desired an alternative to the present fraternal lifestyle. A group of Christian men met and planned the “BYX Island Party” to formally announce the fraternity’s founding. It was the vision of the founding fathers to have a fraternity of committed Christian men, based on the unique brotherhood that a Christian atmosphere affords, for the purpose of fellowship and glorification of Jesus Christ. Through such events as parties, service projects, and evangelical outreaches, the charter members of Beta Upsilon Chi chose to unite in fellowship and glorify Jesus Christ on the University of Texas campus.
Chapter History
Auburn University, in the summer of 2008, was found by Clint Brown to be lacking in a fraternal brotherhood based upon Jesus Christ and his work in the lives of college-aged men. He contacted the national offices of Beta Upsilon Chi about starting a chapter and he began to recruit others to this purpose. In a short time, a group of fifteen men were meeting to fellowship, study Scripture, and spend time in corporate prayer. Throughout the fall of 2008, these men became the tenth group to go through the prospective chapter evaluation process, and so, as of October 30, 2008, Auburn University became the Omega Chapter of Beta Upsilon Chi (Brothers Under Christ) Fraternity.
