Theta Chi is dedicated to creating an environment of truth, temperance and tolerance, enabling gentlemen of the fraternity to assume leadership positions, prosper academically and form brotherhood bonds. Beyond being a home away from home, we strive toward contributing to the campus and community.
Carbon is a component of all organic molecules, many of which are essential for life. The ultimate source of all organic molecules is primary production, in which photosynthetic organisms take in carbon dioxide gas (or bicarbonate - CO2's water-dissolved form) and, using sunlight as an energy source, convert it into glucose.
The ultimate energy source, for most Earth life, is nuclear fusion reactions taking place in âourâ star â the sun, fusing hydrogen to helium â which release copious amounts of highly energetic photons, a very small portion of which eventually reaches Earth, thus providing the energy needed to sustain most Earth life (excepting some very deep sea ecosystems, which are sustained by energy provided by undersea volcanic hydrothermal vents (a.k.a. âblack smokersâ)).
