Becoming a Resolute Man is the highest and most honorable achievement a member of Theta Chi can attain. Upon earning this distinction, a member is awarded The Resolute Man insignia—a diamond-shaped guard that attaches to his badge. Once received, the member may wear this guard for life, provided he remains in good standing with Theta Chi Fraternity.
The Resolute Man serves as a set of standards that define the true essence of membership in Theta Chi. A member who achieves this honor has studied The Creed, understands the significance of wearing the letters Theta Chi, and upholds the Fraternity’s traditions and ideals to the highest standard.
