CHAPTERS
Alpha Chi Rho
One of the newest IFC chapters on campus was established with the vision and belief that Greek Life could be something more — something that truly enriched lives, embraced brotherhood, and cultivated an environment in which all members were valued. We pride ourselves on high membership standards, commitment to core values, and our role in bettering all Greek life at Miami. We are a newly reconstituted Chapter, yet we never sacrifice quality for quantity. Each new member is truly a "Man of Word and Deed" who will uphold our values and improve this brotherhood. We give ample opportunities for leadership and allow every Brother to know each other, creating strong, lifelong bonds. We are united by our belief in character, honor, integrity, initiative, loyalty, accountability, and respect, the seven values we all agree to represent and uphold. As we are reconstituting, we are seeking Re-Founding Fathers to join our ranks and make Greek Life truly better at Miami.
