Chapter Information
The members of the Delta Chi Fraternity believe that great advantages are derived from a brotherhood of university men, appreciating that close association may promote friendship, develop character, advance justice, and assist in the acquisition of a sound education. Delta Chi provides an excellent opportunity for any university man to build both his social and professional skills by becoming a part of something bigger than himself. We encourage and provide opportunities for all of our brothers to become involved in one of the many leadership roles in the fraternity such as the executive board or as the head of a committee. The gentlemen of Delta Chi truly get to develop a brotherhood that lasts a lifetime, and throughout their years will get the chance to make meaningful connections with every member. It is our hope that after graduation each member will be able to look back on their experience at Delta Chi with fondness, and know that they made a considerable impact while making the best of their college years.
Delta Chi was founded on October 13, 1890 at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. It was originally formed as a Law Fraternity but in 1922, the Fraternity opened its membership to men in all areas of study. In 1929, Delta Chi became the first fraternity to officially abolish the hazing practices associated with “hell week”. There are currently 137 chapters and colonies across the U.S. and Canada with over 107,000 initiates. The house colors are Red and Buff, and the house flower is the White Carnation.

Since 2006, undergraduate and alumni members of Delta Chi have joined forces to fight cancer with The V Foundation for Cancer Research. Each year, our chapters host various fundraising events and educate their members and campus communities on the importance of philanthropic giving to support cancer research. Our strong partnership with The V Foundation allows each donor to make a greater impact on finding cures for cancer than they could ever do on their own.
