About us

More than a century in the bond.

Delta Chi began at Cornell in 1890. The Kansas Chapter has been part of life at KU since 1923.

Who we are

A fraternity with a purpose

Since 1923, the Kansas Chapter of Delta Chi has given men the chance to experience the advantages of living in a fraternity. Each year we recruit individuals who we believe will work for their own success and for the success of the chapter.

Those men are the foundation of our Associate Member Program, which encourages new members to set goals and reach them.

Delta Chi's purpose is to promote friendship, develop character, advance justice, and assist in the acquisition of a sound education.

Friendship

Brotherhood is the reason we exist. We show up for each other.

Character

We expect integrity from every member, in public and in private.

Justice

We treat people fairly and speak up when something is wrong.

Education

We are students first, and we help each other succeed in the classroom.

The house

Our home in Lawrence

Wood panelling, arched doorways and a dining room big enough for everyone. The house is where chapter life happens.
