Phi Chi Theta is a National coeducational Professional Fraternity in Business and Economics.

Phi Chi Theta was founded on June 16, 1924 in Chicago, Illinois. Since six women founded the first chapters of Phi Chi Theta almost a century ago, the organization has grown immensely. Today, the Phi Chi Theta National Chapter is comprised of 41 Collegiate and Alumni Chapters.

Phi Chi Theta has over 23,000 members across the country, making it one of the largest business fraternities in the world. Phi Chi Theta is a member of and affiliated with the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the Professional Fraternity Association (PFA), and the Professional Fraternity Executive Association (PFEA).

Phi Chi Theta is strictly opposed to hazing in all forms.

The Zeta Tau Chapter of Phi Chi Theta was officially recognized by Phi Chi Theta Nationals and Wharton in 2018. Twenty students from diverse backgrounds, courses of study, and years were a part of the founding class of Phi Chi Theta.

Kelly Morrison, Daniel Gordon, Arjun Govind, Aaditi Tamhankar, Anish Welde, and Edward Yisheng Jiang led the founding executive board.
