What we Want
The Theta Chapter Mentoring Program is the result of what College Brothers have asked for. The chapter has always fostered an informal mentoring environment but a more structured program will allow greater communication and strengthen the bonds of Brotherhood. Whether you talk regularly or meet periodically in person or online, the exhange of ideas and information will be mutually beneficial.
Once your mentoring connection has begun, take photos and share your journey on the official Theta Chapter Mentoring social media pages on Facebook, Instagram and X.
