what is Chi Alpha? (kai - alfuh)
We're not a fraternity or a sorority but if you're looking for brotherhood and sisterhood, you're still in the right place and we want to welcome you! We are an on-campus christian student organization. We love to spend time together in the little things like a cup of coffee before class and the big things like graduation!
Our name comes from a verse in the Bible that is core for us. 2 Corinthians 5:20 says "we are therefore Christ's ambassadors." The first two letters of Christ's Ambassadors in Greek are Chi (X) and Alpha (A). As this verse of the Bible commands, we strive to be people who represent Christ and his love at Buff State. We believe this so much that we believe that, through Christ, we can change the world from Buffalo State College.
We have weekly mens and womens small groups of Buff State students and this is our main gathering. We also have a weekly worship service on campus in Bulger 216 from 6:15pm-7pm.
Whether you come from any faith background or not, you are welcome! We believe a vibrant, personal relationship with God is the best thing for you to thrive at Buffalo State College and beyond. You were made for relationship with God and with others.

“I met Chi Alpha passing out flyers at a worship service later that night. I was with my friend who I just met and we both decided to go. That. Night. Changed. My. Life. Through Chi Alpha I started getting more and more invested in learning about Jesus! They even helped me give my life over to Christ fully! (May 9, 2019) I now have a personal relationship with Jesus and am still continuing to learn more about Him!”

What are Small Groups like?
Small groups are more than a once a week bible study. Small groups are where lifelong friendships are formed. They are a place for you to belong and a place for you to grow.
•Small groups are a group of people with strong, meaningful relationships.
•Small groups are a place you feel comfortable asking real and honest questions about life and faith.
We believe physical, spiritual and emotional care is best experienced in a community of friends. We want to walk with you in the highs and lows of your college years as a second family to you.

“I needed born-again friends who I would support & vice versa. Then God led me to one of the Chi Alpha leaders as I was on my way to work on campus. Goodness, I never believed in coincidences, but I sure did & still do believe in God’s plans. I found sisters & incredible friends through Chi Alpha. I have found my way back to Jesus & while I’m not perfect, I’m moving forward with him.”
