Our History

Phi Chi Theta is a national co-ed professional fraternity in business and economics, established in Chicago in 1924 by six women from rival business fraternities. With over 23,000 members nationwide, Phi Chi Theta is dedicated to developing professional leadership skills, fostering a supportive network, and promoting business education. Phi Chi Theta aims to enhance our members' skills, create valuable business opportunities, encourage cooperation, and stimulate dedication among members preparing for successful business careers.

 In May 2023, Queena Huang and Rishita Dwivedi reached out to Nationals with the vision of bringing Phi Chi Theta to UC Davis. After working with Nationals and UC Davis and recruiting members of the founding Alpha Class, the Eta Epsilon Chapter was officially established in September 2024. That fall, the Alpha Class hosted the chapter’s first rush, setting the foundation for our future. 

 At UC Davis, the Eta Epsilon chapter, Phi Chi Theta is the only business focused professional fraternity on campus, open to all majors. We provide students with opportunities to build lasting connections, align personal career goals with entrepreneurship and business, and develop essential professional skills in a collaborative, brotherhood-driven environment.
