“Beta Upsilon Chi prides itself in its core values of spiritual growth, social connections, and selfless leadership. Our chapter at the University of Kentucky exemplifies these values through our strong sense of brotherhood, opportunities for leadership, devotion to scholarship, commitment to give back to the community, and reverence for the Lord. I have personally grown as a leader, friend, student, and follower of Christ through my time in the fraternity for I would not be the man I am today without this brotherhood.”

“Beta Upsilon Chi fraternity has provided me with everything that I’ve needed to make my way through college. The brotherhood and unity among these men I’ve come to know is indescribable and helps me grow in my faith and spiritual life daily. Through this fraternity, I’ve learned what it looks like to lead and grow at this stage of my life. Without BYX, I’d be lacking a strong community to support, care, and always be there for me when I need them most. It is my goal to spread and grow this community so other Christian men can experience the Godly atmosphere BYX has provided me with at The University of Kentucky.”

“BYX has given me a purpose for coming to UK. The spiritual growth that I have experienced with this group of guys is beyond measurable. This fraternity has helped me learn not only how to be a better leader, but more importantly, a better follower of Christ. I thank God for placing me in this fraternity, otherwise my college experience would look a lot different. RUSH BYX!”
