Chi Zeta Chi (ΧΖΧ) was an American medical fraternity that was established at the University of Georgia (now Medical College of Georgia) in 1903.^[1] It merged with Phi Rho Sigma Medical Fraternity in 1929.^[2]

History

Chi Zeta Chi was established by Dr. Jesse Ainsley Griffin at the Medical Department of the University of Georgia on October 4, 1903.^[1]^[3] Griffin was a medical doctor in Augusta, Georgia who believed the southern medical schools needed a "high class fraternity".^[4] Membership was limited to white males who had completed the first year of medical school.^[1] The founding members were:^[3]^[5]

N. Whatley W. Battey Jr.^[6]
Guy Talmadge Bernard
John B. Carter Jr.
William Hampton Galloway
Jesse Ansley Griffin

John Moore Sigman
John W. Simmons Jr.
Rembert Hugo Thigpen
Hugh Rutledge Tison
William Preston Turner Jr.

With the assistance of Battey, Griffin expanded the fraternity to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University and the New York Polyclinic Medical College.^[4] The fraternity held its first conference in Atlanta in April 1905 with delegates from the first six chapters.^[3] Later that year, Phi Beta Phi medical fraternity offered to absorb Chi Zeta Chi; the latter declined the offer.^[3]

Originally, Chi Zeta Chi named its chapters after a distinguished physician related to the chapter's host institution.^[1] However, the fraternity adopted a new naming system based on the Greek alphabet at its third annual convention on January 8, 1909.^[3]

The fraternity was overseen by a Supreme Council and its designated Grand Council.^[4] It also had a regent for each state which it called a province.^[4]

By 1927, the fraternity had installed 27 collegiate chapters; however, eight were defunct because their host institution closed and seven were inactive.^[1] On April 6, 1929, in Cincinnati, Chi Zeta Chi signed an agreement to merge into Phi Rho Sigma Medical Fraternity.

Symbols

The letters ΧΖΧ in the fraternity's name stood for Chrisanthenes Zono Chrismon or "Seeking Knowledge Our Highest Pursuit".^[7]

The fraternity's colors were gold and purple.^[8] Its flower was the white carnation.^[8] The fraternity's badge consisted of two triangles superimposed on each other to create a six-pointed star.^[8] The lower triangle was base up and gold, with the Greek letter Χ in the upper two corners and Ζ in the lower corner, in black enamel. The upper triangle was base down and had a black enamel background that had an inlaid gold skull and crossbones above the Greek word iatros, meaning physician.^[8] The top triangle has a border of pearls and amethyst or ruby in each corner.^[9]

Chi Zeta Chi also had a grand chapter badge which was a solid gold key engraved with the fraternity's coat of arms on a square flare.^[8] Its pledge pin was a round purple plaque made of celluloid that featured two hollow triangles, like those of the badge, outlined in gold.^[8] The fraternity also had an identification badge that was a replica of the coat of arms in bronze.^[8]
