Chi Alpha Statement

WACO, Texas (May 27, 2023) - Baylor University is aware of serious allegations of impropriety among leaders of the independent organization Chi Alpha. Like all Chi Alpha college-based chapters, Baylor’s organization is led by the assigned Chi Alpha ministers and staff. These individuals are NOT Baylor employees.

Mr. Chris Hundl was Chi Alpha’s assigned minister to Baylor prior to stepping down from the position in early May. Given the seriousness of the situation connected to Chi Alpha’s leadership, and while the University continues to investigate any impacts on Baylor students, Baylor proactively suspended all campus Chi Alpha operations in early May – based on potential violations of University event planning and registration guidelines.

We are deeply disturbed and grieved by these serious allegations against Chi Alpha’s leaders, and we will continue to examine Baylor’s affiliated student organization to ensure our students have a healthy and safe co-curricular environment.
