About

Tau Gamma Theta was founded on February 8, 1968 at California State University Chico. We began with the ideals of 44 men that liberated themselves from the national fraternity Phi Kappa Tau They left because of a dispute over the control a fraternity had over its members’ lives. We believe that a fraternity should function as a democracy.

Tau Gamma Theta believes and strives towards brotherhood. We Believe in unity, closeness and in the end friends for life. As a local fraternity, we are free to make our own decisions advocating democracy.Tau Gamma Theta Is not the Mystic Nights of the Sea or some secret Klan or a group pf hand picked college standouts. There just isn’t a universal mold of what a TG Is supposed to be. We don’t make the individual what he is, the individual makes us what we are.

Tau Gamma Theta is a collec­tion of personalities who are striving to let go of inhibitions, prejudiced, and unjust first im­pressions either by appearance or action. We know the more we succeed In doing so the better fraternity we become.  Good times, bad times were all together.

Charlie Preusser is one of the Founding Fathers of the Tau Gamma Theta fraternity. He is the only Chicoan to ever be the president of two different fraternities. He also served as Associated Students President (1970-71), as well as President of the Intrafraternity Council. Currently he serves as Chair of the South Campus Neighborhood Association which he founded, and serves on the Chico Pioneer Day Parade committee.
