BYX (pronounced “Bucs”) is a national fraternity and member of the North American Interfraternity Council (IFC). We have a proven track record of developing campus and community leaders, with more than 2,200 collegiate members at nearly 40 chapters and 8,500+ alumni nationwide. Through our priorities of Spiritual Growth, Selfless Leadership, and Social Connection, we exist to equip and empower college Christian men to live faithfully and lead courageously.
BYX men abide by a strong set of values, including putting their faith first, acting with courage, modeling excellence, strengthening one another and showing up authentically — all qualities needed in today’s classrooms, workplaces and communities.
BYX men grow spiritually through:
• Weekly bible study
• Church attendance
• Big and little mentorship
• Prayer & worship events
While BYX shares the many social benefits of other fraternities — like events, parties and a platform for young men to forge lifelong friendships — we do so without the influence of alcohol.
BYX men connect to others through:
• Living daily life together
• Parties, socials, mixers and formals
• Retreats
• Alumni membership and events
• Service and philanthropic activities
BYX members are actively engaged across campus — from student government and homecoming court to academic honor societies. This isn’t surprising since national research shows that nearly half of fraternity members serve in other campus leadership roles.
BYX men regularly hold leadership positions in:
• Their chapter (officer positions)
• Student government
• Campus ministries (like CRU & YoungLife)
Think of BYX as a social fraternity where every member loves God and sets himself to the highest standard of integrity, accountability and authenticity. All three of our pillars help college men become better students, be more involved as community members, and develop valuable skills for future employers. Although BYX offers many opportunities for spiritual growth, we’re not a campus ministry. We complement these campus organizations and encourage BYX members to be active in them.
Research consistently shows that more religious students who are regularly engaged in a community like BYX:
“Ever since Beta Upsilon Chi has been on our campus… I have seen it become a catalyst for siblinghood among members and non-members, men and women, and Christians and non-Christians alike, to come together in the spirit of values-based community and fellowship.”
