It comes from the Greek in 2 Corinthians 5:20 in the New Testament which reads, "we are therefore Christ's (Chi) ambassadors (alpha)." We're not a fraternity or sorority but if you're looking for brotherhood and sisterhood, you've come to the right place. So glad you asked! We talk about faith as it pertains to our identity and community. We want to engage in meaningful discussions about who we ar
e and how we are connected to God. And we talk about fruit as it relates to service for others and a changed life through the teaching of Jesus. Simply put: Yale Chi Alpha is a diverse community of students whose roots of faith bear fruit of life. To us, it’s all roots and fruit.
“Once more a remnant of the house of Judah will take root below and bear fruit above.” 2 Kings 19.30
