The object of this non-profit Foundation is to foster, promote, sponsor, aid, and encourage the education of students at institutions affiliated with the Allegheny District of the Theta Xi National Fraternity and at such other colleges and universities as the Corporation may from time to time select. Such students, including the initiated and associate members of the Theta Xi Fraternity, shall be assisted, to the degree that facilities and funds of the Foundation are available, to: (a) Achieve and maintain high scholastic standards; (b) Add to their general culture and knowledge with special attention to developing their leadership and ability to cooperate with, and work in harmony with, their fellow students; and (c) Maintain themselves while attending the institution of learning at which they are enrolled.

The purpose of Theta Xi is to provide a college home environment for its undergraduate members in which fellowship and alumni guidance lead to wholesome mental, moral, physical and spiritual growth. To that end Theta Xi actively supports and augments college and community efforts to make individual members more mature and chapter groups more useful units of society. Through its alumni and undergraduate member leadership Theta Xi endeavors to assist each member to develop:

• Intellectual curiosity that assures the highest scholarship rating consistent with his ability;
• Habits that lead to better mental and physical health;
• Sincerity in his association with others, and confidence in himself;
• Responsibility to chapter, college, community and country;
• Leadership that comes from practicing the principles of democratic self- government;
• Interests and activities outside regular scholastic studies that employ spare time to advantage;
• Spiritual understanding that provides a reservoir of strength to draw upon when faced with conditions beyond comprehension.

The ultimate purpose of the Theta Xi Educational Foundation of Pittsburgh is to support this mission and ensure that the Allegheny District undergraduate members have outstanding educational experiences that complement these wholesome values which complement our life-time membership in the Fraternity.
