The Beginning
Built upon on the primary principle of Brotherhood the tenets of fraternity include honoring Tradition, pursuing a Service to Humanity, promoting South Asian Awareness, striving for Academic Excellence, and creating a unified Nationwide Network. On June 2nd, 1999 the University of California Los Angeles recognized Beta Chi Theta as an official fraternity and granted it membership into its Inter-Fraternity Council (IFC). While the inception of the fraternity began months prior to June 2nd, 1999, that date was chosen as the official Founding Date to commemorate the establishment of Beta Chi Theta, becoming the first and only South Asian Fraternity to be a part of the Inter-Fraternity Council.

The Founding of Nu Colony
On May 17th , 2009, six men crossed over and became brothers of Beta Chi Theta. As the first brothers at their university, their crossing also marked the founding of the Nu Colony of the University of Wisconsin - Madison. This event was a culmination of many months of effort and sacrifice on the part of the six, and years of effort and sacrifice of those who crossed before them. Abhi Pulla, Aakil Fernandes, Danny Manuel, Ashank Pai, Supreet Shah, and Mayuran Chandrakantan are the official founding fathers, but just as their success was dependent on those before them, the success of the Nu Colony will be forged by those who come after them.
