Chi Tau (ΧΤ) was a local fraternity at California State University, Chico that landed in the media spotlight following the 2005 hazing death of Matthew Carrington. It was established in 1939, became a chapter of Delta Sigma Phi in 1956, separated from Delta Sigma Phi in 2001 to become a local fraternity, and went inactive in 2005.
