The Club became very popular on the Dickinson campus and continuously expanded its membership. The club's headquarters was established in January of 1909, when it took up residency in the Seabold building. During the following year, the club continued its expansion and established its methods of recognion. These recognitions included: a grip, a whistle, a password, and a pin design. The pin was diamond shaped with a pearl porder, the center consisted of a torch bearing the letters "C.C" and was supported by two hands, clasped in friendship and brotherly love.

By 1912, the club had become one of the most prominent organizations on campus. Members of the club included some of the most outstanding people of the student body. The club truly possessed the finest of the male population.

The Club grew to such a size, that a new residence was necessary to accommodate all the club's members. The college leased the first section of East College and the club moved in at the beginning of 1913. In 1914, the C.C.'s first publication was published, The Torch, a newsletter for active members and alumni.

During the 1914-1915 school year, the club became even stronger in membership, in both quality and quantity.  The members began to want some national recognition for their efforts. It was decided to investigate the possibility of membership in a strong national fraternity. In the spring of 1915, it was UNANIMOUSLY decided to petition the Theta Chi Fraternity.

In March of 1916, Theta Chi granted the C.C. a charter, thus creating the Pi Chapter of Theta Chi Fraternity at Dickinson College. The Installation of the chapter began on Saturday morning of April 1st, 1916. The installing officers present from the Grand Chapter were: Brother George Catuna (Ex Arch), Brother F. V. Hugo (Vice Ex Arch), and Brother F. W. Ladue (Chaplain). They were assisted by these brothers from Kappa Chapter: Brother Schewinger (1st Guard), Brother Walten (2nd Guard), and Brother Dunham (Graphite).

The meeting was called together at 2:30 PM and the ceremonies commenced after the opening prayer by Brother Hugo. The oaths were administered and the chapter rosters were signed by each new member. The Constitution of Theta Chi was read and the Pi Chapter was duly established at 5:22 PM on April 1st, 1916.

There were twenty-four Active brothers and four Alumni brothers inititated. The election of Chapter officers was held after, and the meeting was closed at 10:28 PM. During the school year of 1926-1927, the Pi Chapter purchased a home between the present Admissions Office and the Sellers House. The value of the home was $31,000. The Torch was continued as the Chapter Publication. In August of 1964, Pi Chapter was moved to Quad 2 and the college purchased the old fraternity house.
