Our Name
Chi Alpha is a network of college ministries located on over 250 campuses across the United States. We are a student community earnestly seeking Jesus. We are not a fraternity or sorority. We take our name from 2nd Corinthians 5:20:
We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.
Inspired by this verse we chose the phrase christou apostoloi, meaning "Christ's sent ones", to represent who we are. The Greek letters Chi and Alpha stand as reminders of our mission. Sometimes we will write XA for short.
