About Gamma Chapter
Theta Chi Gamma Chapter was first founded due to the actions of brother Roy M. Blanchard or "cappy." He transferred to Umaine and was given a bid to join another fraternity. Alpha Chapter however, refused to let him go so instead he started Gamma Chapter and initiated all of the brothers of the fraternity that had given him the bid. Thus founding Gamma Chapter of Theta Chi on May 20th, 1907.
