RU Chi Alpha

                                                 About Us

 Chi Alpha Campus Ministries is a Christian campus ministry at Radford University We are a movement of college-age men and women earnestly following Jesus!

We are not a fraternity or sorority. We invite everyone to be a part, regardless of background! We meet on (and around) campus in a variety of group settings, such as the Fusion cell groups, Encounter, and Friday Night Live. These gatherings are informal, infused with music and interaction, and cover a wide range of topics, such as relationships or the nature of truth.  Students are given the opportunity to meet God, each other, and the needs of the community!

Chi Alpha was founded in 1953 at Missouri State University, and can be found today on over 200 campuses throughout the U.S. and around the world. Closer to home, Chi Alpha is at Virginia Tech and Marshall University, in addition to Radford University.
