Questions
Things people ask us
Do I need to know anyone in the chapter to rush?
No. Most members didn't know anyone when they first came by. Reach out and we'll introduce you.
How much does it cost?
Dues and housing costs change from year to year, so we'd rather give you current figures directly. Ask us and we'll walk you through exactly what's included. Members can also receive help through the Kimball Scholarship Program, which awards more than $15,000 in scholarships to members every year.
How much time does it take?
Expect a weekly chapter meeting plus the events you choose to get involved in. Members balance the chapter with classes, jobs and other campus activities.
Will it hurt my grades?
It shouldn't. Education is one of our four founding values, and our all-house average GPA is 3.35. The house has study rooms, and members help each other with tutoring and advice.
Do I have to live in the house?
Living in is a big part of the experience, but arrangements vary. Talk to us about how housing works for new members.
What is an associate member?
It's Delta Chi's term for a new member. Our Associate Member Program, led by the Associate Member Counselor, helps new members set goals and learn about the fraternity before being initiated.
