The BYX Experience

BYX is a college experience that provides a lifetime of impact.

About Membership

BYX gives you friends for life and brothers for eternity. BYX provides a unique platform to grow your faith alongside other committed men. ­ In an environment where men struggle to find and keep friends, BYX provides a welcoming place to immediately meet like-minded guys and develop lifelong friendships. The friends you meet in BYX will be the guys in your wedding, the first to step up in a crisis and the men you’ll do life with.

WHAT WE DO

At BYX, you’ll find a lifelong community that equips and empowers you to live faithfully and lead courageously.

Spiritual Growth

With Jesus Christ as our common bond, we provide opportunities for spiritual growth to help members become the men God intended.

What really makes BYX unique from other fraternity experiences is our shared belief in Jesus Christ. Think of BYX as a fraternity where every member loves the Lord and sets himself to the highest standard of integrity and authenticity.

We complement campus organizations like Young Life, CRU and other campus ministries and encourage BYX members to participate in these and other campus activities.

Selfless Leadership

BYX provides life-changing experiences and programs to prepare Christian men to lead courageously — on campus and long after college. We believe college men’s leadership can more fully bring the power, goodness, and beauty of Jesus into this world, and this is just one way that BYX hopes to inspire that in men.

Some of our programs and initiatives are:

  • National Leadership Summit
  • COR Leadership Retreat
  • Chapter leadership
  • Leadership Circles
  • National internships
  • BYX board service
  • Alumni chapter leadership

Hear from our members

“Serving as president of this chapter has shown me the importance of loving sacrificially, as Jesus did. This fraternity also has provided me with a safe place to learn about my faith and has equipped me to go forth into the world as an ambassador of Christ. I will carry the lessons I have learned in BYX with me for the rest of my life.”
