At the 111th Anniversary Convention held on August 12, 1974 Theta Xi announced its adoption of [[National Multiple Sclerosis Society|the fight against Multiple Sclerosis]] as its National Service Project. At the 129th Anniversary Convention held on August 4&ndash;6, 1993 the fraternity announced its second alternate NSP as [[Habitat for Humanity International|Habitat for Humanity]].

These charities are a mainstay among all chapters of the fraternity, as well as the numerous other charities supported by individual chapters. On June 20, 1986 Theta Xi was named the Outstanding Volunteer Organization for 1985-86 by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Theta Xi takes exceptional pride in its members' involvement in these and other charities.

The Theta Xi Foundation was founded in 1949 in order to promote the education and growth of members of the fraternity. It is set up to aid in developing the members into responsible citizens that will contribute to the well-being of society. Contributions that mostly come from alumni and friends provide the money for the Foundation.  The Foundation consists of two Funds, the Chapter Education Fund and the Unicorn Fund. The funds raised are used to sponsor several programs such as President's Academy, Rising Stars Academy, and the District Leadership Academies.
