Erected in 1995, the Theta Beta Potatoes is a coed social fraternity with chapters located in major universities throughout the Midwest. It was originated by the Founding Fathers: Andrew Ziola, Mark Moroni, Joe Hubeny, and Darius Bikulcius at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin back in the Fall of 1995. Due to the tight political structure, hazing, womanizing, and other frowned upon practices of fraternities and sororities, the Founding Fathers of the Theta Beta Potatoes decided to start their own, co-ed fraternity. 

The group of fine men moved to a new residence in the Fall of 1996 to proceed with the growing amount of work and interest in the new fraternity. The Theta Beta Potato House soon became a landmark in the dull Milwaukee neighborhood right off the campus of Marquette University. The Founding Fathers, along with new Theta Beta Potato House resident, Paul Fruzyna, would enjoy a number a social gatherings in the new home. 

The Theta Beta Potatoes idea quickly spread to a number of other large universities. Amongst whom are The University of Illinois, Purdue University, Illinois State University, and Loyola University. 

When you throw together a little punk rock, skateboarding, and potatoes - look what you get. The Theta Beta Potatoes are proud of their progress over the past year and a half. It will soon be heard all over the world, "Plant potatoes, grow potatoes, cook potatoes, EAT POTATOES!!
