MISSION

To create close comradeship, to advance educational, social, and philanthropic interests and leadership training; to encourage spiritual development and adherence to the highest moral standards; and to promote lifelong bonds of friendship

CREED

Justice to each fellow man, Wisdom in each deed and plan

Loyalty to every friend, Faith that sorrow can transcend

Truth to God and truth to self, Honor valued over wealth

This is the creed that in us lies, The creed of loyal Theta Phis.

The white rose for its purity, The sapphire blue for loyalty

The compass for its needle sure, That holds our course firm & secure

The silver for a precious faith, That knows no end not even death

This is the creed that lies in us, The creed of loyal Theta Phis.

Through the Theta Phi Alpha Foundation, TPA supports two national philanthropic causes:

Glenmary Home Missioners -Glenmary's work is in depressed rural areas of the United States, primarily in the Appalachian Mountains, where they distribute food, clothing, and books to needy persons, and assist in providing medical care, job training and tutoring.

The House That Theta Phi Alpha Built -The House is the newest cause, established in 1993. The common goal is to improve the plight of the homeless. The chapter seeks to provide assistance to organizations that help the homeless, shelters, home building, or neighborhood revitalization projects. This permits all TPA's to help those in need in their own community, while remaining united in our aim and purpose.
