Information About the Delta Chi Fraternity

 

General Information:

  • Delta Chi is a national, single member general fraternity. This means that any young man who attends a college can become a brother; however, they are not allowed to join another fraternity once they become a Delta Chi. You can visit the national website here .

  • Delta Chi is one of the fastest growing fraternities in the United States. In 2004, Delta Chi boasted 88,168 initiates in a total of 121 colonies across the United States.

  • The National Headquarters of the fraternity is in Iowa City, Iowa. Headquarters contains all records of the fraternity chapters, houses the executive offices of the national leaders of the fraternity, and is the hub of all activity concerning the fraternity in general as well as support for individual chapters.

  • Delta Chi was the first fraternity to abolish the "Hell Week" (an archaic and inhumane tradition of hazing) in 1929. Proud of this tradition, all chapters to this day staunchly refuse to haze new members.

  • Just as brothers should be proud to be known as members of Delta Chi, Delta Chi strives to be proud of its members, and expects all members of all chapters to display solid academic performance, good attitude towards the college community, exemplary conduct and character, and respect for all people.

  • Delta Chi is a proud member of the North American Interfraternity Conference (the NIC); since joining in 1911, Delta Chi has provided the NIC with 5 Presidents (only two other fraternities, Beta Theta Pi and Delta Tau Delta, have contributed as many). You can visit the NIC website here .

  • The official charity of Delta Chi is The V Foundation, which is dedicated to cancer research with hopes of finding a cure, and spreading awareness and education about the disease in order to save lives. Delta Chi raises tens of thousands of dollars for the V Foundation annually, hoping that by uniting all chapters nationwide, we have as much of an impact as possible in the fight against cancer.
