On Thursday, April 10, 1856, Frederick Norton Freeman and Arthur Chase agreed to meet at 9 p.m., the hour before “lights out” in the Old South Barracks of Norwich University to establish the Theta Chi Society. Following their example, Theta Chi continues to nurture Resolute Men, inspire True Friendship, and extends a Helping Hand to all who seek it.

From dining halls, rec centers, classrooms, and halls of chapter houses to conference rooms, laboratories, factories, school boards, stages, board rooms, hospitals, battlefields, courtrooms, halls of Congress, outer space, and beyond. We believe in Theta Chi. We are Theta Chi. We are Resolute Men.

Our flagship Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic representation of the appellation’s preeminent varietal. Notes of of black cherry, blackberry and plum are complemented by hits of toasted oak, dried currant and baking spice. Fine-grained tannins and ample brightness on the palate give way to a polished mouthfeel and exceptionally long finish.
